    I received my Batman and Two face from the Doc today! Batman really does look better in person. Twoface is awesome, hardly any posing problems. Batman has the flops. I took the suit off and found what I think is the main issue. The elastic cord is fairly loose. I plan on re-stringing it this weekend. If they made it tighter I think that would eliminate a lot of the problems. I will buy more.

    Granted, but I always thought that was a silly colorist's touch--after all, the acid struck his face, not one whole half of his body. A single glove makes more sense, imo.

    By the way, including a mix of vintage parts, a deluxe professionally-sewn suit, and a custom painted resin head, my custom Two-face cost about $225 five years ago.

    I'd say that $35, for a Retro Two-Face with a body "upgrade", is a pretty good deal.

    I think the Mattel body flaws are aggravating & disappointing, but it doesn't kill the line for me. I see a lot of sweet custom fodder in these...

    Yes, Tracy guns--just what I was thinking, too.

    I couldn't wait any longer.....BBTS didn't have them in stock as of today, so I cancelled my pre-order and gave Paul the sale.

    Man, I can't wait for these bad boys! I've decided to switch 'em to Zica bodies.

    So my wife allocated more funds for wave 2 doubles. She says go to Amok Time again. Not having a car, it's a bit of a haul for doubles. Isn't there another shop in Gotham that has them?

    I offered Mattel my tooling on day one.

    Stop with the crazy conspiracy theories.

    It's insulting, annoying, and something else.
    Doc, if you think the conspiracy theories are bad here, you oughta check out the He-Man.org boards.

    There are some crazy-*** posters on that board.

I wouldn't worry about the tracking on that because sometimes the courier is slow on updating the system.
    I'm sure I'll get it soon but if it was shipped on the 15th, I would've had it on Sat., if not then today which I haven't and the tracking still does not show anything. Perhaps he oversold it and is waiting for his next shipment.

    I get mine from a Canadian online retailer (Golden Age toys) so I imagine it will be a week or two yet? On the other hand, I dont have to pay anything for postage! Cheap wins in my book...I can wait.

    I just ordered my set through superherotoys.com. I've never seen Wave 1 in a ToysRUs here in Ottawa (not that I ever looked consistently for them...). I walked in a comic shop around the corner and saw Green Lantern for the first time on a peg.

    I wish these were'nt exclusive to TRU, the place is so poorly laid out and stocked that everytime I go in there it makes me sad. I've seen wave 1 once at my local TRU, 1 case and once gone they never restocked. And it makes no sense that there are Marvel and DC figures in one aisle, and then 2 or 3 aisles away the Batman, Spider-Man and Iron Man stuff. It's kinda sad that I have to go to the collectibles store across the street from TRU to get an item that's a TRU exclusive.

    ^^^ These are only TRU other than the indie places that have ordered them straight from Mattel. Of course they have to order other Mattel products as well. No Wal-Mart or Target.
