The old man is on his way to Australia. GianToy have shipped my "preorder" that I placed this morning.
I think it looks awesome.
They fixed the sculpt that had this weird « froggy » face on the proto IMO.
Congrats for those who ordered it. It will looks fantastic next to Bruce.
But it does not change my mind. Even if I’m a huge fan of Batman 89, don’t feel I need him.
I think the 1/6 scale works very well for figure in an armor, suit, or when maked-up.
Out of that, it really gets a weird « doll effect » that I’m always uncomfortable with. It reminds me the Big Jim I used to play as a kid that weren’t really confortable to play with.
I made an exception with Bruce Wayne who is the main character and the Batman Alter Ego. Completely needed for me.
But once again, fantastic Alfred. Good job Mars Toys!
In the meantime it’s out of stock everywhere… So I’m definitely out…

No invoice from Kit yet for me on this one.....
Got mine yesterday - you should be getting yours soon. I believe he was planning on shipping Monday.

I’m not sure if they just found some random 1/6 food molds to throw in with him, or if it’s a reference to the Batman Returns McDonald’s tie-in, or the “I’ll get drive-thru” line in Forever.
The glass of milk makes me think 1966 Batman. He should’ve come with a diet coke!

Wayne and Alfred use the food to tempt Grayson into staying. Then threatens to throw it out to the dogs.
“Ah well, I suppose the dogs are hungry”
Freakazoid!

The irony is that I just realized yesterday that I accidentally put down a 20% pre-order on KG Hobbie for 3, instead of 1.
I think the browser was lagging during the order process. It sure stings having to pay that 15% surcharge of the *full* price for *each* of the accidentally ordered figures just to cancel them. Kind of sours the purchase, but they offered to put those 5% of each into store credit.

Looks amazing in Breda’s review. I just love Mars Toys.
They didn’t skimp at all on this even though many would consider Alfred a lackluster secondary character.
They treated this figure like the Star of the show. Tight tailoring, awesome sculpt, perfectly scaled spectacles and a ton of well done accessories.
I hope they just go all out on this line and do as many characters as they can with Bob being the next offering.

That would be a dream!
Is Riddler in the comic sequels? I haven't got round to reading them yet.

Just watched Breda’s review and wow. This is already a contender for one of my favorites of the year. Just looks fantastic.
I love that we’re getting this version of Alfred. On the surface just a character in a suit but so important to Batman lore. Just no way I wouldn’t want this.
I may need to hunt down a Mars Bruce Wayne to go with him.
Oh, and also Kit sent my invoice. So others may want to be on the lookout as well.

Yeah I'm kinda regretting passing on Bruce and Alfred now. They weren't characters I ever had any desire to own, but these figures have just turned out so damn good.
Paid my invoice a couple days ago. Shipped out today.
