My sarcastic response is people are so used to being screwed over by either Todd or Hasbro or Mattel that apathy has set in and we're numb to it. You can only expend so much energy yelling into the void of the internet about big name manufacturers f-ing around with distribution games. It's draining
I'm not ruling out panther suit. I give it even money of getting to us before the end. Because Batman.
I might just get a Jokerized version, paint the head, and slap it on Carrie Kelly.
It says as of 8/26, you still have until then. I placed an order with them yesterday.
Yeah, I saw that but figured it would be too tight to order anything. I did check on the item and the shipping is $13, so I'm passing since the price is close to $50.
My biggest want for the line before it ends is give us a near full Burton/Schumacher films line up: Bane, Joker, Panther suit and Gordon are probably the biggest omissions, after that we can have Bob, Vicki Vale, Chase, Ice Armor Batfamily and then any of the other looks for Joker, Ivy and Riddler with the suit and hat. I'd even take Dr Woodrue to get another villain of sorts on the shelf.
I'll take any of those I can get, figures from those four movies are my main wants from Todd, but I think a lot of those are super long shots. In a prefect world I'm hoping for: Nicholson Joker (I'm also not ruling him out), Bob, and Bane.
Billie Dee should have been Two-face in Forever that's probably my one biggest gripe about those 4 films as it was such an glaring change, they should have at least chosen another black actor if they didn't want Billie. Even I as a kid I noticed that change was so inconsistent as Harvey looked drastically different. Hope how I've worded that doesn't offend anyone as that isn't my intention.
Agreed on all of that, but those Schumacher films were so far removed in terms of tone from the Burton movies that it almost doesn't matter. If Billie Dee was in the exact same Batman Forever movie that we got, would it have made it any better? Maybe? I guess? But that film had a lot of issues. One of my biggest gripes was that Jones' Two-Face was just trying to match Carrey's Riddle in terms of over-the-topness and it just got to be too much. Maybe Billie Dee would have played it different? We'll never know. But Jones (and Carrey) were both on the "it" list of actors at the time so of course they get their superhero movie. Heck, that's a tradition that's still going 30 years later.
That's a very good point about the tone difference and them being "it" at the time. It's odd that Jones was trying to out do Carrey considering there's that famous story of him and Carrey not getting on.Agreed on all of that, but those Schumacher films were so far removed in terms of tone from the Burton movies that it almost doesn't matter.

Anyway, this is the Billie Dee Two-Face that I would love to get. It's super niche. I know not everyone would need this to consider their movie collection complete, but hope lies in the fact that Todd has done super niche figures in the past and, of course.......it's Batman.
