Anyone else see these in the new toy fare?? They look to be the same scale as SHS, and so far, they show B'Wanna Beast, "Bat Knuckles" Batman, Metamorpho (YES!!!), Sportsmaster, Green Arrow, Ocean Master, Underwater Batman and another Batman with a Batarang. These actually look pretty cool, a little more boxy than SHS, but exaggerated in the same areas. (hands, head and feet).

Yeah I saw these at NYCC at the begining of the year. Then this weekend I found them at Toy Tokyo in Soho, NYC for 5.99 a single figure. They look ok, but not for that price. Plus they had no Plastic Man or Gentleman Ghost so I passed.

They've got double packs on Toywiz. Here's one: www.toywiz.com/bravebold2aquablack.htmlThere actually IS a Batman/Gentlemen Ghost with his horse set shown... www.toywiz.com/braveboldghostbat.htmlthey also have Black Manta, Blue Beetle, Red Tornado, Plastic Man and a few others. As for the prices of these 2, Toywiz is a MAJOR rip off, I'm sure the 2 packs won't cost nearly that much in stores..

I'll wait until actual prices are announced. I could see myself getting a Batman, but $10 a pack is a rip off.

Here is a place with much better pricing on these sets. tgftoys.com/?mainURL=/store/category/9hvd/Batman.htmlThey have singles for $4.99. Two packs for 8.99. The Batsub for 14.99 and the Batmobile for $21.99. Doesn't look like they have Gentleman Ghost yet but I sent them a message and asked them if he is expected soon. I just ordered one of everything except the single Batmans. I'll wait for those until Gentleman Ghost arrives. I'm excited for this line... can you tell?

Sorry, I just can't see myself spending $5 on a 2" figure when you can get 2 SHS figs for $6-$7

That's why I don't look at myself when I push the confirm order button

Hello Been reading the great info on this site for a while but this is my first post. Thanks for the links to tgftoys for the BATMAN MINIS. I live in the same town as TOYWIZ and I was almost going to go down there and buy them yeaterday, But thanks to the link posted here I ordered the remaining sets that I wanted for a lot less $. I did pick up the Gentleman ghost set from toywiz. They had it there in the store with a damaged box so it was only $17.99. Dont get me wrong TOYWIZ is very expensive but they are a 2 minute drive from my house and they are very nice and helpfull and you can get your item the same day. Anyway,I have been hoping for a DC SHS to match all my sons MARVEL guys and these look very good. I have the IMAGINEXT DC SUPERFRIENDS for my son and he loves them but they are not in the same style as SHS and they only make 6 different figures. Sorry for the long post, just wanted to say thanks!

Oh hey mightythor welcome to the boards and your welcome for the link. I almost pulled the trigger and ordered them from ToyWiz but then I remembered there was another place that came up on the shopping list for them. So before I confirmed my order with ToyWiz I zipped over to TGF and looked around. The cool thing is is saved almost $50 by ordering at TGF over ToyWiz. I was so happy I ended up ordering the Batsub set too, which I hadn't planned on getting yet. TGF also reponded to me yesterday and told me they indeed do have Gentleman Ghost in stock. He just wasn't uploaded at the time of my order. So they added him to my order.
I'm sure my Thursday or Friday is going to be a lot of fun. I will definately take some pics.
Hey mightythor are the mini figures articulated at the shoulders? The pictures make them look like they are but I suppose the arms could just be glued on.

Hello, arbcotoys The arms and waists move on both Batman and gentlemen ghost, I not too sure if the horse any any movable limbs. I only opened one side of the package just to check them quick. I am going to try and keep them in the package until I give them to my son.......if I can control myself! I might try and take out the inner packaging and place them next to some SHS guys to show scale for everyone interested. If I can figure out how to use my camera lol. They definitely are cool looking though. Just hope they come out with a slew of them to catch up to SHS. Take care

Good to hear about the articulation.
The newest Toyfare has pictures of four more 2-packs slated for this Fall. New characters include: Metamorpho, Ocean Master, Sportsmaster, and B'wanna Beast. Each set comes with a Batman except Sportsmaster who comes with a Green Arrow.

Sucks that since theres virtually no females in teh cartoon there most likely won't be many in this line.
