    I was pretty bummed that this ride was slowing down, but as you can see there is plenty more where the rest came from. Stay tuned for more Batman TV series joy coming soon.

      1. Good luck John Boy. I don't think there much chance anymore of finding them in stores. Catwoman comes out in October, so, maybe then for a bit. Those Hot Toys Batman and Robin are "Hot." My super cool, yet non geek wife thought they were really Adam West and Burt Ward.

    2. Mego Museum was saying Mattel cancelled the line. Hope it is not true.

      1. I wish it wasn't Hobby. From what it seems after Catwoman that's it.

    3. Not to mention Yvonne Craig herself confirmed recently that she signed a licencing agreement to use her likeness, so there is sure to be plenty of Batgirl stiff coming soon!

      1. I was hoping for a Batgirl figure, but I think Yvonne held out too long. Maybe there will a Hot Toys Batgirl. I'd be happy with that, but I'm bummed Mattel will probably never make 6 inch Batgirl. Maybe we'll get lucky with a Barbie version.

      2. Cancelled! SHEESH! "You can tell it's Mattel" strikes again.

        I bet they release Batgirl in a super ultra hard to find rare and expensive Con exclusive. Because...Mattel.

      3. I really liked what Mattel did with this line and I had hopes that maybe they would make the right choice for a change, but once again my dreams of Mattel coming through were shattered. I give up.

    4. so far the only one i was able to get from the line is the riddler for had to wait till the new school year started and started earning my paycheck again. and only found the last riddler tru had it stock so have to play catch up. minus surfs up batman. too bad mattel canceled the line just when yvone craig finaly okayed her likeness to have batgirl get made.

      1. Yes, I still have hopes they may reconsider, but hopefully there will be some cool Batgirl items of some sort come about in the end.
