    A word to the wise. If you purchase this do not grab your SO like Vicki Vale and ask them how much they weigh. It will not go in your favor.

    Props are cool and all, but when do we get some 89/91 Batman figures in 6 or 7 inch scale?

    But if already have, might as well finish yourself off by telling them “you weigh a little more than a hundred and eight”

    They were able to do '89 Batman in 7" scale as a TRU/NECA store exclusive but it was initially part of a dvd-combo deal before they later did the figure on its own (still exclusive). It's pretty safe to assume that as the current license-holder for the scale McFarlane isn't keen on letting NECA provide them with competition.

    Yeah those Keaton figures were pretty easy to get a few years back, not sure what its like now. Also looks like they still have rights to do the quarter scale Keaton figures since that and Catwoman are getting a rerelease soon.

    Where did you pre-order the '89 from?

    I'm not sure about 89/91 figures, but we should get a Michael Keaton Batman next year since he's in the upcoming Flash movie. While the neck looks different, the pecs and the bat symbol look like the Returns suit. If the rest of the suit is relatively unchanged, then we could have a 7" Batman Returns figure (albeit with an older Bruce Wayne underneath) from McFarlane.

    Oh, dammit. I've been waiting since like the movie came out for this to be made mass market, so maybe I'm being overly picky, but this is actually worse than their '89 batarang. The proportions are completely messed up

    Plus, this isn't a grapnel gun! This is the speargun configuration. I feel like dropping the reel function and letting it snap in two (perhaps include the bola and folded grappling hook as bonus attachments) would have been sooo much cooler

    Just got the 89 movie grapnel at Target last night. Priced @ $14.99. Awesome replica abit smaller than the animated one.

    Alright, it's been the better part of a day and I give up: what's the gag?

    Today I bought both the 1989 Grapnel and Animated Series Grapnel at Target for $15 a piece.

    I don't know what is with the pricing as the Animated Series Grapnel is available at online retailers for $40.00

  15. Raine24 has no avatar! Raine24 says

    Yeah, there's clearly an error in the system with the price. I hit up my local Targets last week and was told they're never getting them in...

    Actually, I was told they hadn't arrived yet before another employee blurted out that they were sold out and didn't know when the next shipment was coming in, then they quietly conferred and agreed that the first shipment wasn't coming to their store and there would be no other shipments. All very impressive, considering they didn't even look at their system :/
