Well if BigBreda's comment about Mars FINALLY settling down with one factory, they might get him out soon.
I know Kit said they're stopping with reissues as well.

Are there any updates for this figure? It was supposed to be Q1 2023. At this point we're going into 3 2024...

No clue. They don’t answer any questions about this figure in their facebook group.

Judging from their facebook posts, it looks like Gus, 2022 Penguin, and maybe Gorshin Riddler are next.

At this rate we aren't seeing it until next year. I'm tenptex by the penguin but the sculpts just aren't there for me. Did they change it or show updates for him?

God I wish they'd release this. I love this look for Manta. Promotional pics look insane.

I gave up on this figure ever being released at this point.

Yeah, based on their backlog which consists of a staggering amount of figures, I've gave up thinking three quarters of them will never see the light of day.

I like their work. When it becomes a reality. Beyond that, it's all hype with little follow through.

Why are you wasting time sculpting a Val Kilmer Bruce Wayne sculpt? Nobody wants that. Not enough to warrant a full production of the damn thing.

That's time that could have been spent on preorders from yrs ago we're waiting for.

Weren’t SooSoo also teasing their own version of this one?

Pretty much how I feel. I like their stuff, but it just takes too long to release. Even if they were more transparent with production, that might help. It's a shame cause they clearly make good stuff.
