The only way I'd buy an Aunt Harriet figure is if she's tied up and hanging over a vat of whatever she was hanging over in the Zelda episode.

If Randy Saffle was in charge of this line that's totally a playset we'd be getting! :lol:

Can someone explain the point of doing Batman and Robin's eyes in this manner? Lunchbox set up for preorder at target.com for $59.99 (comes with four figures, lunchbox, and four trading cards). Paint app variations for Joker and Penguin.

The new Batman paint app is closer to the TV show colors, but the white eyes are an homage to the trading cards-- which is the color scheme he's going for with Joker and Penguin. The irony is the original Batman figure color is closer to the card art color-- and in most of those cards, painted by the great Norm Saunders and Bob Powell featured visible eyes for Batman and Robin.
I love those old cards, I like the tin, don't care about the figures although it would be nice to have a correct blue for Batman, but I doubt I'd pay $60 for a tin.

Alfred on a muscle body looks terrible. The whole joke was that he was so thin.

As suspected, looks like the Alfred as Batman figure (left) uses the same body sculpt as the Batman figure (right).

Thanks for reply about Batman/Robin's eyes. And yes, Alfred needed a taller, skinny body.

The lunchbox is pretty neat, i'm sure there are people out there who the white eyed figures will resonate based on their love of the trading cards.

I'm still not seeing the Batcycle out there in the wild. I've been travelling across multiple states over the last month and i've not run across one as yet despite my efforts.

I just found the Batcycle yesterday in store.. I used Brickseek to locate it.

Here is the link for the lunchbox.

The Batcycle is (presently) hard to find. I've gone in multiple Targets the last few weeks and saw the Batcycle only once--the store had two and I bought one. The current spotty distribution could have to do with the Target toy department re-sets in-process, but that is my speculation. Speaking of which, here's a new review of the McFarlane Batcycle by dhunter. He compares it to the Hot Wheels Batcycle that is similarly sized.
