I had everything in my cart and clicked complete purchase at BBTS. Cart went to zero, but nothing went through. Both Batman and Robin were sold out, but ordered everything else. Then went to McFarlane, and suddenly it was all there, but an hour before there was nothing. Had it been there, I would have ordered the entire set…oh well.

Looks like Lord Death Man is sold out now at BBTS :( Oh well, I'm sure I can pay an inflated price on eBay later :)

Looks like McFarlane still had the individual figures for sale, so ordered one there. Thank you Szabo-san for the updates! :)

LOL, I knew I had seen Lord death man somewhere before but couldn't place it. Thanks for posting that last issue of the classic Batman book

I picked up Two-Face mostly because of the animated feature, but I’m just not interested in buying more from the comic book series, so this new wave holds no interest for me past Batgirl and, to a lesser extent, Two-Face. Still hoping for more figures from the TV series.

By all means, we need a Commissioner Gordon!

And, frankly, because it was so often depicted, I’d even like to see a diorama of his office.

Also down for a Lee Catwoman/ other incarnation.

I'll apologize in advance for ever-being the Debbie Downer when it comes to the reality of which likenesses are available on the license, but unless Lee has been added (which to my knowledge, she has not) then sadly that's still a no-go.

Likewise, Neil Hamilton is not on the license either, but the workaround that McFarlane has set a precedent for now with their Batgirl is to go down the route of releasing a C.G. figure under the '66 Comic license. But that being said, as a non-costumed character, and in lieu of a Neil likeness, a Gordon figure leaves me a little cold personally. Also, so far it's worth noting that we haven't seen any non-costumed characters represented in this line. I know most people collecting this line are itching for a Bruce, Dick and Alfred.

It sadly could be nearing the end. I’m all about expanding for Two Face as he could’ve been on the show (and was if you count the animated movie) and even the robot fits the feel. I can see it in my head in an episode. But this Lord Death Man seems a bit much. If I see it on clearance somewhere maybe. I was high on Superman when it was said to resemble Reeves, but it looks very generic. Let’s hope for some altered “non-licensed” ones.

The lack of licenses for certain actors makes me wonder about Jazz Inc's plans to make 1/6 scale figures based on the series, and aside from West and Ward, who are the other performers who would be represented at that scale?

Yes, thanks to the DC Database that lists all of a character's appearances I've managed to get all the English language issues. 13th Dimension is such a great site!

One thing the article doesn't mention is that he wasn't really called Lord Death Man in Japan originally. He calls himself 死神 (Shinigami), or Spirit of Death/Death Spirit. These are Japanese spirits that guide souls to the afterlife, kind of like the Western concept of the Grim Reaper. Lord Death Man came about with the Bat-manga translation-which I think was a really good choice :)

And he juuuuuust might be reappearing in a project soon :)

One contact said the Reeve head will be available in the aftermarket. It will be as simple as pulling out the old head, and inserting the new head. We’ll see, but if it exists, they will post it on FB.
