My comic book shop has reported the broken batman figures back to DC Collectibles and the owner has pulled all of the Batman figures he has and hid them behind the counter because he doesn't want a bunch of broken returns on his hands - - he said this is clearly a factory error and DC Collectibles is probably feeling the heat because now they have to rethink all of the figures they've already made in a similar fashion to this breakable batman - and they certainly will not be making the money they hoped they would with all of these broken figures being returned. My comic book guy also says he is terrified to receive the next shipment which will include more batman figures, two face, and mr freeze because he can only imagine the amount of broken returns he is going to get . . . we'll see!
