I'd love something along the lines of what FTC are doing Batcave-wise for this 4" series.
The FTC Batcave might not be a ridiculous scale for these-- the Batmobile is pretty good size. If I had small kids and was planning on playing with these I'd be all in.

The Batmobile w/ Batman & Robin arrives in my local Sydney (Australia) comic book store this week. Mine came via eBay. The first wave of figures is available to pre-order on eBay and you can order a set that includes the additional Freeze chase figure, but Audition Batman was not mentioned in that offer. He was later said to be a separate chase figure, so i wouldn't expect to see him yet.

Have we learned what retailers will carry these in store? I hope TRU will. Can't see Target or Wal-Mart with these but it was never mentioned in the podcast which stores would have.

TRU will most likely, they carry the other Funko action figures. Essentially, if a store is currently carrying the Suicide Squad set they made then they will likely have these. I looked into opening a wholesale account with them but my understanding is I need to order some of those POP figures with my account, and I'm not interested in those. I know many comic shops are going to have them.

Some interesting thoughts and some cool photos there, I always dig it when a little bit of extra thought goes into shooting images for these kinds of reviews.

Oh, they look pretty nice. The Batgirl one shines to me, but I like Batman´s shape, so I´d like to get the Batmobile combo, if there´s a chance to get these in Europe.

Well, Funko is pretty popular everywhere, so maybe we´ll have a chance to get a proper distribution of these action figures in Europe. As much as I am a fan, the shipping costs from the USA to Spain would kill the nice prices these items have. I already saw the Batmobile on Ebay, and I´d have to pay 44 more dollars to ship it!

Picked up the first wave of singularly carded figures today. Although I haven't time review each figure properly at the moment, a few points.

1. Batgirl's hands aren't wide enough to hold her communicator.

2. Tut's face sculpt is the least accurate of the lot. As expected, his cape and robes are the same type of plastic used on Batman, Robin, and Batgirl.

3. They did an excellent job with Bookworm's glasses, but they would look far better with black rims.

4. Mr. Freeze is the best of the lot. Detailed backpack, etc. I have the chase but haven't opened him. I'm going to wait until I locate a second before opening Wallach's Mr. Freeze.

In spite of a few drawbacks, I've been wanting figures like these for 30 years. Well worth the wait. 10/10.
