Though, to be fair, after the initial release, none of the previous figures have been very hard to find.


Yeah, that's what it looks like on BBTS. Which I guess makes sense in this case - stagger the releases ahead of the movie so you don't saturate the shelves on something people aren't familiar with yet. And I think the BAF variants are mostly in the TRU exclusives, aren't they? Which is another idea I actually like, the variants. If only Matty would incorporate all these decent ideas into a wave of something I cared about, but we're stuck with the Snyderverse for the foreseeable future.

Ah well, it's a Katana summer for me at least. I preordered the SDCC exclusive from an eBay seller, and I'll have this one for my Squad shelf.

Also, it looks like Wal-Mart's getting exclusive Rick Flag and El Diablo figures? I'm guessing Enchantress isn't happening at mass retail because of her costume. Seems like SDCC would've been a good venue for her.

Saw that. Diablo looks like garbage. Will by Flagg just to make a Steve Trevor out of him.

I might buy Flagg just to have one for my Squad shelf, and I'm not really intent on any specific one for him (I always preferred Nemesis).

Diablo looks bad. I would've considered him just for the possibility of flame effects, but he's definitely not their best work.

Even the flame effects look awful.

They almost look like the same hands from the Marvel Legends Electro figure LOL

Found Deadshot at TRU today, only 2 of him left on shelf... a fairly decent figure great articulation. His ab crunch I could go either way on but other than that a pretty solid figure. Looks better with mask on (sorry Will Smith)...

Closest TRU to me is Appleton and my cousin was there yesterday...nothing. We're actually bitching to each other right now about the lack of quality and quantity in pretty much all scales and brands...sadly the days of browsing and finding something awesome seem to be coming to an end in the wild
I am one of the 63%....

Waiting on my Wal-Mart to finally restock the figure aisle - it's been two weeks or so. Tempted to just eBay Flag, but I know as soon as I do that I'll see him $10 cheaper in the wild.

I picked up Harley and Flagg the other day. Harley mostly for the head/hair and Flagg to possibly convert into Steve Trevor. Still waiting on the to put out a figure I actually want for my collection. Probably going to buy the CW Supergirl figure but that's because I like that skirt for possibly making Arisia. When they get back to classic figures they'll have my full attention. Black Superman and SuperDoom just seem like poor selections for a line trying to get a hold back in the market again.
