My apologies–I didn't read the press release close enough. Or at all, really. I was rushing to get these last few posts ready to go before I flew down to Florida for my grandfather's funeral. Which isn't really an excuse, but I think I might have noticed such a silly oversight if I'd had more time.

Sales will still undoubtedly be dismal for Matty, as who in their right mind would pay $15 plus shipping when its obvious these will pegwarm at ToysRus for much less eventually. Like Poe hinted, the larger production is better in their mind, thinking they'll sell them at their already over-inflated price and not take a complete loss on R&D on what could have been a hugely successful line but was instead a disaster.

Schwoom!!! That's the sound of opportunity passing them by.

Now that it won't be a Matty exclusive, I will actually get a Two-Face figure, so yay!

I think MOTUC would work well at retail too if done with limited waves of just 3-4 figures to minimize any losses Mattel might be afraid of amassing. The key word is distribution. But retail and distribution don't seem to mix with Mattel ever since the 200X He-man line.

It's a good thing Bat-fans will do anything and everything to get every figure that's put out. Hopefully we'll reach Bat-turation point soon, so stupid Batman figures aren't clogging the shelves–at least until the next movie.

But, Dayraven, Matty always tells it like it is. It's right there in the article.

I've been saying all along these are about a year and a half late (now).

eh.. I'm really not sure how I feel about all this… I agree with DR that this is just corporate shenanigans similar to telling an enemy he got stung by a jellyfish, it allows them to piss on us and have us thank them for it.

but I still want Two-Face and The new Joker (and Harvey Dent to be honest)

its still annoying, but then, I was pretty sure these would either never happen or be far too expensive to be worth it. as it stands now, its only a little too expensive.
