DC Direct doing Batman The Animated Series figures!!!!!

Re: DC Collectibles doing Batman The Animated Series figures!!!!!

I was just in downtown San Francisco this past weekend and lamented the loss of the WB store that was in the basement of the Bloomingdale dept. store. I once scored from there giant busts of Superman (Animated Series) and Batman (New Batman Adventures) and remember how it was a pain carrying them over back to the parking garage. I also managed to find the Batman cookie jar on eBay, which is so cool and is displayed on my self right now, though the Batman and Superman busts are in the garage!

That one came out in 2004, and DC Direct barely existed by the time the WB Stores closed down around 2000. They also never carried other statues aside from their own. You're thinking of this one:

I still mourn their closure to this day though In the time since they've been gone, I can't imagine all of the cool, unique merchandise we could have gotten.

Nope..I got the one that was mentioned above this one.

How so, when the stores didn't exist anymore by the time the DC Direct maquette came out?

hi there
I have a little question about the Bat Signal. it needs "LR44" batteries, but all I found in our stores is "PR44". Is this the same? Are they different? can I use them too?

im not too familiar with those, but i did find some energizer 303/375 that works just the same as LR44. i bought mine at TRU because they had a bogo so i got them for $5, if you can find those then your good.

edit: here is the link to the batteries, they come with 3 so its perfect for the signal.

PR44 batteries are the same size and might work, but from what I've read, they need some exposure to the air in order to function properly, so they may not be so good for the Bat Signal. Depending on the store, maybe you could purchase them and return them if they don't work? This was apparently something customers didn't dare to do (according to Mrs. Griffin) back when we were both living in Germany, but that was thirteen years ago, so maybe things are easier now.

E-mailed BBTS to see what was up with the figures coming in and they basically have no idea. Was told they are hoping for "Late December" but don't have any tracking or updates from distributor.

So just curious, which figures are you referring too?

Re: DC Collectibles doing Batman The Animated Series figures!!!!!

The latest wave- Clayface, Talia, Ventriloquist, etc.

If anything, I thought that BBTS always got stuff in slightly earlier than brick & mortar stores. November 23rd is when Talia, The Ventriloquist, Bullock and The Joker w/hyenas came out. The 30th is when Christmas Joker came out and Clayface came out December 7th. I picked all of mine up at a local comic book store. Do you not have any near you? I'm sure they would still have them all in stock still.

The delays are a little annoying. Seems par for the course with BBTS. I still enjoy their service/cancellation/pile of loot features so I guess thats the pay off.....
but where is my ventriloquist? LOL

I am dying a little inside every day that passes and I don't get a notification from BBTS. I'm going to be spending a lot in one sitting with these delays!

They're trying to get as much stuff that was scheduled for 2016 out before the end of the year. Looks like the only thing that won't happen is the Girls Night Out set.

Re: DC Collectibles doing Batman The Animated Series figures!!!!!

Having recently rewatched a Ventriloquist & Scarface episode I can't help but wonder why DC Collectibles takes creative liberties on some figures when it comes to details. The Ventriloquist doesn't have any visible frames around his glasses, yet the figure does. This is the Penguin all over again. It seems like they are going for logic over original design. Yes, that might be nitpicking to some degree, yet I don't understand why they wouldn't go for accuracy. The spread sheets aren't necessarily the best reference to go by. In the end it matters to match what the characters looked like on the show, give or take slight style variations between shots.
