Man, Mattel really pisses me off.  They make great product, but the seem to consistently have issues with production and availability.  I thought one of the main reasons that Diamond pre-solicits things a number of months in advance is so that the manufacturer can adjust thier production runs accordingly.  I pre-ordered a set of wave 9 a LONG time ago.  Since then it's shown up at a local dealer - but because I was commited to the pre-order I didn't pick it up.  Now I find out there's a chance that my pre-order may not be honored because mattel screwed up thier production runs?  >:(

Wow, I wasn't expecting that.  Wave 12 looks quite nice.  I'm real happy to see Eclipso and the Spectre - those were two figures I didn't expect to see any time soon.  The only real "meh" figure for me is Copperhead.  I'm not certain I need a new Darkseid either as I love the DCSH one.  That said, I'm curious to see his size.  Since putting together a number of the C&C figures, the DCSH version is looking kind of small.  He doesn't need to be huge, but hopefully they've upped the scale a bit on him (and hopefully we can switch out that gold hand with a regular one). 

Has anyone been seeing the Gotham city 5 pack lately?  I know it hit a few weeks back, but I'm not sure if it's come and gone, or just started to surface.  I would love to get the set for retail, and am curious if there's still a chance of that happening.

I think the idea is that he's a completely new Joker.  Not a remake of the old Joker from the pre DC Superheroes line (whereas the nightwing in the DC superheroes line reused an old mold, and didn't fit the look of the line).

I still have the old Joker, and this one is completely different.  And if you're a fan of the Marshall Rodgers Joker, he's totally awesome.

YAY!!!
Hopefully the production run is large enough that I actually get them.  I was able to get 5 months worth of figures without problem, but have missed the last two (although I have been online when they are made available).

By animated are you talking the black Batman Beyond?  If so, he's from wave 4 - but there was an "unmasked" version that I believe was a KB toys exclusive.

I'm definitely interested in that box.  If I see the pictures correctly, another batman and supes wouldn't be too bad.  It looks like the batman is the one from the clayface two pack without the mud.  And the supes seems to be the one from the brainiac two pack without the red eyes.  I wouldn't mind either of those (though I still want a definitive superman - and he needs to have a slightly wider/larger "S" shield on his chest).

Currently trying to order, without success.  It says it's available, but then gives a message at the top saying "We're sorry but a product in your shopping cart is currently out of stock and cannot be purchased. We apologize for any inconvenience."

But the item is still listed as available.  I want to get this line, but this is turning into more of an exercise in frustration then anything.

Geo-Force all the way for me.  I would love to be able to put together a classic Batman and the Outsiders team.

So I never got past the 3 second countdown page, and now the site is saying that Hordak is sold out.
I have signed up for the sept-dec figures, but if I'm going to miss out on Hordak, then I'm not sure I really have any desire to have them all any more.
I don't suppose anyone has ordered multiples and is willing to part with one?

Kinda of an off topic item here, but has anyone who has purchased MOTU figures through MattyCollector been hit with credit card fraud recently?  I just got a call today that there's been a bunch of unauthorized activity against my account.  I don't use my card much, so I've been going through my last few months worth of statements to see where it's been used.  One of the (few) places I've used it is for purchasing the MOTU figures.
I'm not suggesting that this is the source - it could be anything.  But I figured I would check to see if anyone else who has bought the figures has ran into any issues.

Please let me know if you have.

Septembers figure has been revealed to be Webstor in the latest issue of Toyfare. Pretty cool looking guy, the even gave him 4 extra arms on his backpack to make him more spidery!
Have July and August been announced?

I got mine (after a few tries).  But what is this about a second batch?

I hear ya, I went ebay for the Batgirl/Batman Target two pack and ended up getting it for about $15 and then shipping, so about the same as I paid here.  Benefit was I got a Batman I didn't otherwise have rather than getting another Azrael.  I'd really love to see them release a Catwoman/Two-Face two pack in that format.  They could also easily do a couple of other villains from those Mattel waves that were rare everywhere and make a lot of people happy. 

Ooh - I don't have either of those, so that would be nice.  There are a number of figures I missed from the earlier line that I would like to get - but they are way too pricey now.

Thanks for the heads up Brent, I picked up the batgirl 2 pack yesterday.  Pretty sad to see Mongul/Cyborg supes there.  I went the ebay route for him about a month ago, and paid quite a bit more.

Just got wave 7 a few nights ago, so I'm all caught up (for now).  Wave 7 really impressed me, but I do have one complaint about it.  Kid Flash is freaking tiny.  I guess they used the same body as they did with Robin.  Which is fine, unless you want to put him with Cyborg and Starfire in the hopes of building a Titans lineup.  Then he is ridiculously out of place.
