I haven't got my hands on one yet. Let me know if the graphic needs to be tweaked to fit into the shape.
I plan on creating a cover of some type to keep the existing graphic in place.

Another picture of the Egghead figure on Instagram. Looks great.

I love the mustache on Cesar, but if I might (and I'm NOT criticizing You) suggest that You redo his mustache in a light ghost grey so it would look more like it did to some of us with a B/W TV. Cheers!

I don't think the figure belongs to Barnabas, Larry, I think he's just posting from Instagram here. Does the McFarlane Joker have a mustache? I thought it did.

I'm going to do the measurements and start the process tomorrow, so I'll let you know! I think i'm going to do satin heavy photo paper stock.

Have others found a broad selection of the McFarlane line available simultaneously somewhere. I got the Batcave thinking it might go with my Funko and Mezco figures, but the increasing offerings make McFarland look like the one to get. However, I’ve never seen more than the occasional piece show up at my local Target.

Bizarrely one of my local Targets has what seems to have a full case of the Riddler’s from the first wave back on the peg alongside the B&W figures, a Penguin and a handful of Earthas.

Overall (until the Batcycle) I had not had any issues with finding each item in this line as it was released.

For those of you buying these why don't you just order them online instead of multiple trips out? Is it the thrill of the hunt and finding them in the wild?

There is definitely a novelty/thrill of the chase aspect trying to find these in the wild. But also, on a more practical note (in this specific case) those ordering online have had varying degrees of luck. I can almost hands down say that i've found and had most of this line on display in my collection before people have even had a dispatch notification.

Makes sense-- it's been sometime since I was interested in these and I'm not surprised Target's shipping reliability is less than stellar. Still, my abject dislike of mass retailers is enough to keep me away.

For those who picked up the Villian's Lair, I've added a post to the Bat Crafts Section on replacing the wall graphic and have supplied a PDF for just such a purpose.
