Looking forward to these, for sure.

So excited for these, although they are a little pricey at $25 each I believe. I'm likely in on these though, as this was/is probably my favorite show of all time. Glad that it is making a comeback in toy form.
-
Preordering a case as soon as these are available!

How do those shoulders work?
-
Looked like a few more of these have been announced (all on the way this year it looks):
BTAS Robin
BTAS Joker
TNBA Poison Ivy
TNBA Two Face
TNBA Mr. Freeze

Personally, I'm super psyched for this line and hope it continues for quite awhile. I'd rather these were $15 each, but I guess $20 is pretty much the going rate for 6" collector figures these days. They all look nice though, curious how they decide which version (BTAS or TNBA) to use. From what I understand Bruce Timm himself is more fond of the later TNBA designs, at least for the most part.
-
Saw these on Entertainment Earth just now and they have the figures available for preorder for $22 each. I hope they offer a case because I really do want all of these even if I prefer the TAS designs over the simpler TNBA designs.

Oh my... 6 inch scale TAS Batmobile! (http://www.dccomics.com/blog/2015/02/12/dc-collectibles-unveils-2015-line-up-including-new-action-figures-from-hit-tv-series)

Stopped by a local comic shop over the weekend and they had a few of these figures out. I haven't bought any online because they don't seem to be selling cases for some reason. Anyway, I saw Batman, Catwoman, Joker, Two-Face, Mr. Freeze and Creeper. Ended up just getting Batman for now since the store wanted $25 a pop and a lot of the villains are $20 or less on Amazon.
The Batman is pretty cool though! The cape is made of a soft rubber material, and doesn't hinder the articulation at all. There are a ton of hidden accessories too, like extra hands, Batarangs, grapling hooks, even an extra "blowing in the wind" cape! Highly impressed with this line so far, and I can't wait to get my hands on the other figures.
-
Picked up the TAS Batman and Mad Hatter yesterday. The store also had the Batmobile for sale. It's nice.

Grabbed Nightwing yesterday at a local comic shop.

New B:TAS, TNBA, Batman Beyond Figures, Batwing Vehicle Revealed (http://www.superherohype.com/news/365201-dc-collectibles-reveals-new-batman-the-animated-series-and-batman-beyond-action-figures#/slide/6)
-
Over the last few months I've picked up Joker, Harley Quinn, Penguin, and Man Bat, and today I finally got a Catwoman. Amazon got a restock, and it's an obvious 2nd issue since they got rid of the exposed hip joints that plagued the first wave, but it looks great with the upgrade, and otherwise is exactly the same as the first issue. Plus I think Catwoman is the hardest figure to find from this line, behind the two Batman figures.
I plan on getting Phantasm, Riddler, Robin, and Tim Drake Robin through the summer, and then the new waves with Bullock, Ras Al Ghul, etc. apparently hit in November.
-
Picked up the new Commissioner Gordon figure the other day. Also out is Ra's Al Ghul, which I'll get sooner or later. I'm down to just a few wants from the figures currently out.
There's a lot of good stuff coming in 2017 too. Saw a listing for a Batman with multiple heads (neutral, angry, shocked, bloody, Bruce Wayne, etc.) which looks cool.
-
I'm hoping to pick up the Gordon figure soon as well. I really love this line, but I'm a little behind and need to do some catching up. Still on the fence with the vehicles, I'd love to have them, but not sure I have the room. Really glad they are making this line and covering so many characters, maybe my favorite show of all time.

Oh my... 6 inch scale TAS Batmobile! (http://www.dccomics.com/blog/2015/02/12/dc-collectibles-unveils-2015-line-up-including-new-action-figures-from-hit-tv-series)
I had completely forgotten I had preordered the new "Deluxe Edition" Batmobile that comes with Batman, Robin, and the Batsignal. It arrived over the weekend and I opened it all up over the last few nights. It's not a great "toy" by any means, but as a display piece, it's a great work of art.
Requires 3 AA batteries and the headlights, taillights, and engine all light up. The details inside the cabin are insane, with computer buttons individually sculpted, plus there are even working seatbelts! The steering wheel also moves, and can be adjusted to fit larger or smaller figures. Batman and Robin fit inside perfectly, and in fact are the same as the regular release figures outside of the soft good capes. Batman lacks a lot of the accessories the regular figure comes with, but does have an extra pair of hands and a Batarang, while Robin has several extra pairs of hands, and a grappling hook. I haven't messed with the Batsignal yet since it needs coin-shaped cell batteries and I don't have any, but you actually flip the switch to turn it on. Awesome!
Here are some quick pics I snapped on my cell phone (http://imgur.com/a/jECUE)

Looks like this line is done, with the announcement that DC Direct and DC Collectibles have been scrapped. I've been tracking down some needed figures from the last two waves over the last few months, and preordered a few of the new Batman: The Adventures Continue figures, but it remains to be seen if those will even be produced at all at this point.
It's crazy how expensive these figures sell for on the secondary market!
-
I’m in a similar boat. I was so excited for this line when it started, as I am such a fan of the show (and style). I kept up with the early waves, but as time went on I had to sort of shuffle this down priority wise as the budget was going elsewhere. I’ve also been going back and picking up figures I missed in the past year or so, and I’m relatively caught up I think. I’ve been prioritizing figures specifically from “the Animated Series” portion, which narrows things down a little. I REALLY considered things like the Batmobile, Batplane, and Batcave w/Alfred at the time of release....but really didn’t know where I would put them. Bummer that it is likely ending now, although I read today there is another couple waves that should hopefully see release. Good run overall though.

I bought a Killer Croc figure from BBTS recently, and it arrived today. It’s a bit bittersweet because it is likely the last BTAS figure I’ll ever buy. I really enjoyed this line while it lasted, and it basically got me into 6 inch collecting, so I’ll always have a soft spot for it. I have a few figures left to track down, but the aftermarket prices for these are insane. I don’t even want to think about how expensive stuff like the Batcave playset with Alfred sell for. I don’t have a complete collection, but I’m extremely happy with having 80-90% of what I wanted from this line.

I was in a similar boat. I really enjoyed the line from one of my favorite shows of all time, and tried to keep up as they were released, but as money was going other places some started falling through the cracks. Then it got a little difficult to catch up on some because of secondary prices. I too always hoped to get things like the Batcave, Batwing, and Batmobile...but got priced out. I don’t really have room to display them properly anyways, but that is true of many things. Wish I could limit myself to one line like some can do, but I just like too many things!

I did buy the Batmobile, and it's an awesome display piece, but it is so big. I have it on the top of a bookshelf, and it takes up the entire width. I can't imagine owning anything else from the line though. I did see the Batcave at one of my local comic shops a year or two ago, and the box is HUGE. Like the size of 3 or 4 smaller flatscreen TV boxes. I have no clue where I would put that, even if I did own a house. I think the Batcycle they made is pretty small, maybe the size of that Black Series Rey's Speeder.
My biggest misses/regrets from this line are probably Bullock, R'as Al Ghul, Gray Ghost, Ventriloquist, Clayface, and Scarecrow (had a chance to get this one for like $20 at a Think Geek and passed... stupid!). Also those Batman and Joker expression packs. And the Batman Beyond and Superman TAS set. So a lot of good stuff haha. I don't think I ever picked up the Tim Drake Robin from TNBA either, but I was mainly focusing on the BTAS portion of the line.
