Mezco just brought the Batman mystery box back on their site, this time with a limit of 2 per order. I was able to snag one. The shipping is like $15 extra, which I didn't expect, but I didn't want to miss out on the chance again.

Sweet! I ordered one too, because what the hell. If I get one of the One:12 figures I already have I'll sell it to one of you guys for the price of the mystery box because I'm a nice guy.
I was gonna buy 2 boxes until I saw that shipping would cost almost $30. Fuck that noise.

I'm glad you were able to score one this time too. When I saw the announcement a half hour after it went live I thought I would miss out again. I'm really hoping for a 1:12th DKR Bats!

That $15 shipping really pays off. Mine just showed up this morning. That bad news is, I didn't get a 1:12 figure. The good news is, I got the 18" Mez-Itz thing that they say retails for $200.

Got the shipping notice email for the mystery Batbox, and it says the package weighs 12 lbs. I'm thinking it's one of those giant vinyl figures.

Interesting, mine did have the same weight. I decided to order a second box and try my luck again lol. I figure, if nothing else I should be able to sell the giant Mez-Itz thing to cover the cost.
And crap, I didn't see any on ebay earlier but someone just listed one for $45. I'll wait and see how that one sells before listing mine.

$200 for those things is crazy. If I do get one of the giant vinyl figures there's a spot in my TV room where it might look cool.
Hope you get one of the One:12 Batmen though, raz. It's an insanely cool figure.

Well, that auction ended quickly. That's a good sign that I can list mine for something closer to the insane retail price if I decide to.

I got the same Jumbo Mezitz Batman. My guess is everyone who bought a mystery box the second time is getting the same thing because Mezco had a warehouse full of them.

That thought has crossed my mind, but I haven't seen any others listed on ebay. Either way, I should probably list mine soon.

Okcomputer, I think your theory was correct. Now, I have two of these giant Batman's to unload. Do you have any open pics of yours to make me reconsider keeping one of 'em?

Okay. That might have to be my first and probably only Hot Toys figure.

Even by Hot Toys standards that likeness is incredible. Brian Fantana is so dreamy.

I saw the 6" Batman v Superman figures today. Regular Bats, Armored Bats, and Supes. They look AWFUL. Armored Batman looks the least shitty, but still really shitty. I don't know how it's possible but Mattel keeps finding ways to get worse and worse.

I saw an image of DC Collectibles Arkham Knight Series 5(?) on instagram, and I can't find a single picture of it anywhere else but it looks legit. Still, I had my doubts because these are some very unusual choices. While Poison Ivy is one of the most interesting characters in the game and one that deserves a figure the most, the Killing Joke Joker appears only in a flashback and the classic Harley is only in-game as an alternate costume to use when playing challenge maps or the short Harley story DLC. From a sales point of view, I'm sure they'll be super popular, but as far importance in the game there are many other characters I would've expected to see get the figure treatment sooner.

Harley and Ivy look great. Classic Harley also shows up in the Batgirl DLC.

I completely forgot about that. I was hoping that meant more alternate costume figures were on the way, but I bet the inclusion in the DLC is what makes it an exception. Pretty awesome though, that's like 3 classic Harley figures coming out this year and I like this sculpt the best.

If alternate skins are an option for figures I DEMAND an Arkham Knight Batman Beyond! And maybe Flashpoint.

I wish Arkham Knight Batman Beyond's head was still all solid black with no details, but a figure would still be sweet.

Here are the other two classic Harley figures coming out soon. The DC Icons version and Animated Series New Adventures version. I might actually like the Icons look best, the expression is really good.

Is there even a difference between the Animated Harleys? Also don't forget this little number. [using my best George Takei voice]Oh my!
