– Batman Basic Figures – Batman and Bane color variants in the basic sized class.
– Bat Pod – Changes to armor mode with the press of a button.

First Pic Of Mattel's Dark Knight Rises Toys
haven't heard the term mega cool in a while or super cool lol. These toys look like shit to me, the remote conrol bat-pod/bike is pretty cool, but unless it can pop a wheelie, shoot actual missles or work on the walls/ceiling I don't want it. The basic batman figure looks ok, but fuck me with the ugly repaints, IM,BATMAN AND SPIDERMAN, get the shaft of rediculous outfits and repaints/repackages.
The "quick-tek" figures sound and look far better than I was anticipating. Based off of the description we had previously gotten, I had assumed that the figures transformed into gadgets and weaponry. What they actually are is a rather nice surprise in comparison. Still, doubt I'll get any of them.
It's nice to know that they're still doing basic figures along side the gimmick ones. I might actually get a Batman and Bane from this line.
The batpod looks kinda cool, but is an easy pass for me. Though the "quick-tek" vehicles sound kind of interesting, and depending on the price, might be worth getting one.
10" tall Batman was inevitable. Actually looks like it might have some worth-while articulation. Nothing amazing, but it's nice to see at least a little articulation rather than none.
The RC's look nice, but are another easy pass for me. Bring on some Hot Wheels of the Bane tumbler and "the bat".
I'm kinda disappointed that the Movie Masters weren't represented in this. Would have been nice to get a glimpse at one of them to see if they're keeping them up to snuff. Hopefully the New York toy fair will give us a look a them and that C&C batsignal.
I was hoping to get a glimpse at Mattel's Catwoman. Oh well...gotta hole out just a bit longer.
Just like this movie....these figures will suck.
I am still hoping for better stuff to be shown at Toyfair .
oh for heavens sake....really they are gonna slam out tons of useless batman toys now?!!! Just put otu stuff fromt he movie dont over blow it with neon green and yellow bat crap toys. And they tremendously sh&tyy GL figure liek articulation and t-crotches are still there im gonan bet. can we say PEG WARMERS? At least the new ghost rider movie was smart enough NOT to make toys.
Are the Quick Tek figures the 4 inch scale?
That Bane figure with the black tank top does look pretty sweet.
"Make stuff only from the movie?" LOL...you DO realize that that means there would be all of 3 action figures in the entire line then, right? (Batman, Bane, and Catwoman). Maybe as many as 12 if they do (you guessed it) variations from within the movie of each.
The Batman movie lines have to be padded with silly variants because there isn't enough stuff in the movie worth making kid-friendly action figures out of. It ain't Star Wars, and little kids aren't exactly foaming at the mouth to pick up Jim Gordon action figures, or "Gotham Policeman" toys.
Too bad, too, because I'd love a 4" Gordon that didn't suck.
I can't wait to get a Bane figure...I'll probably try to buy all the variants of him. Maybe we'll get a new Scarecrow figure too since he's going to be in the movie.
