Any definitive word on when Batman Wave 4 is coming?

You need to chill, and you need to apologize.

If you can't see that, you should walk.

This is about the 3rd time he's popped off to me, each time unprovoked. I was a nice guy and ignored it up till here cause I didn't want to start an argument. I'm not here to name-call, but I'm also not here to field silly and unprovoked arguments. I get this board has a certain reputation but if this silliness is tolerated I will indeed walk.

[ThePlayerOnTheOtherSide]

I have a feeling it might a Neal Version. A while back they hinted to one. So thats what I'm hoping for!

Ok totally letting my fanboy get the better of me....but what if they were planning on doing a 'Neal Adams' version and let Neal at least consult on the sculpt? That would be seriously cool.

[Earth 2 Chris]

^No offense, but I'd rather not have current Neal Adams touch anything harkening back to his classic Batman work. Having been burned by the "Batman Illustrated by Neal Adams" hardcovers with his "corrected" artwork, I'd rather keep it purely classic.

We have very simple rules, there is no justification for what just happened. If you feel a member is attacking you report it to a mod or use the ignore feature.

[ThePlayerOnTheOtherSide]

Yeah, name calling doesn't fly here and it won't be tolerated.

Understood.

[boss]

nothing to see here.

Agreed!

[palitoy]

Always wanted this

I'm very eager to see the scuplts for the first non-mego female figures. It looks like at this point, that would be Poison Ivy unless they do a Neal Adams Wonder Woman or Batgirl. Given what I've seen of the male figures, those should look GREAT!

Three observations from me, Mr. Nosy (an experienced Mr. Nosy):

1) I've observed that you seem to be "on the more passionate side" of this FTC rebirth... bless, but it may get you into trouble as far as jumping the gun with your posts. Someone you believe is giving you lip, may not even be doing that.
2) Over the years, I've had misunderstandings/clashes with just about every regular poster here, and, seriously, PNGwynne seems to be one of the most understanding and rational of them al---if I'm saying that, I'd hope you'd note the significance, and consider you might've overreacted.
3) Not that anyone wants to read drama instead of Mego-oriented stuff, buuut, a take on your very words: "This is about the 3rd time you've popped off to me, each time unprovoked. I was a nice guy and ignored it up till here cause I didn't want to start an argument. I'm not here to name-call, but I'm also not here to field silly and unprovoked arguments." would've been less offensive then a random name-calling.

Just my (possibly unwanted) 2 cents.

[PNGwynne]

You would think Poison Ivy would be in Batman Wave 5, and since we are getting a 'new' Batman in Wave 4, we'd probably get a 'new' Robin in Wave 5.

That leaves 2 spots open for Wave 5. Two-Face? Alter-Egos Barbara Gordon?

I selfishly want Poison Ivy and Mr. Freeze before Two-Face, if only because Mattel did a nice job with Dent IMO.

SI Babs is a good choice.

Something to consider--can one Batman or Robin variation anchor a wave of three foes? Batman has a large & exploitable Rogues Gallery compared to other heroes (similar to Spidey I guess). I have to admit I'd like to see some C-list Batfoes, but I'm not sure how many Batmen & Robin I'd like. I can only think of about three of each that seem notable:

70s' Batman*Golden-Age (black/gray) Batman* Silver-Age Batman, or perhaps an Arctic version if with Mr Freeze

modern Robin*Nightwing*Earth-2 Robin

Adding Huntress could help...

omg,i love the earth-2 Huntress

[warlock664]

70s' Batman*Golden-Age (black/gray) Batman* Silver-Age Batman, or perhaps an Arctic version if with Mr Freeze

modern Robin*Nightwing*Earth-2 Robin

Adding Huntress could help...

Good call! Yes to Earth-2 Robin and Huntress, and Earth-2/no yellow oval Batman !

[VintageMike]

SI Babs would seem to a distinct possibility since they already made a maskless BG head.

[Timothy2251]

A Huntress figure? I like the way you think, PNGwynne.

Honestly, though, I'd rather see other DC characters other than Batman after, say, Wave 5 or 6. To run with PNGwynne's post, there's few Batman and/or Robin variations I really want to see, or can easily be made with what's out there so far in the community. Villains are always a safe bet (an updated, more menacing looking Joker would be welcome. And what of Harley Quinn? Throw in an updated Catwoman as well, and with Batgirl and the upcoming Poison Ivy... BOOM! GOTHAM GIRLS, y'all!). Wouldn't hurt to see other bat-heroes, too, like Huntress, Batwoman, Azrael, and a Harvey Bullock with donut accessory!

Just got my Alfred and Teen Titans today, too! All look great (FINALLY have the Titans in my collection, though Alfred 's head is a bit on the big side).
