Looks like Spin Master has gotten the DC license away from Mattel and are starting their collection off with a Batman-focused line of 4" figures and vehicles.
Not overly crazy about the blind boxed accessories if it means that the accessories will be random because there may be specific accessories that collectors want and not be able to get them very easily.
We should see more of this line and any other DC lines Spin Master has up their sleeves in a few weeks at Toy Fair.
-
Another set:
-
Entertainment Earth has the newly revealed "Batman" line from Spin Master up for preorder:

I keep wondering when we will see the SW Line go to a new licensee, but I know that is a cash cow. Still interesting news and I shared it on the front page.

Rumor has it that 2020 or 2021 will be Hasbro's last year on both Star Wars and Marvel.
-
It wouldn't surprise me.
-
Spin Master is doing a broader "DC Comics" 4 line in addition to their "Batman"-centric one.
This line also has the random, blind boxed accessories.

These look not bad. Good luck to them.
-
Looks like pretty good articulation to me. It will be interesting to see the first reviews on these.
On the front page.
-
Looks like Target is getting some exclusive DC figures.
There is also a regular headed King shark and some deluxe figures with larger weapons.
-
I saw this and posted. Lots of DC out there before too long.
-
Another "Batman" set found at Walmart:
-
It will be interesting to see some customs made using this new line.
-
Looks like Wonder Woman will be joining the line soon!
-
Looking like DC is gonna go to them altogether the way this is going. On the front page.
-
Saw all the spin masters offerings at WM and Target today. They look really super decent. Way better than the Tron legacy line they did. Some of these I'll definitely be added to my collection. Just seeing a king shark figure was hilarious!
-
New Spinmaster "Batman" figures spotted at Target!
-
I like the updates Dan. Thank you.
I got them both on the front page.
-
So I picked up a second Spinmaster heavy armored Batman figure on the way home from work as I love the design.
The first one came with the "rare" metallic blue shoulder cannon, but this one came with the "super rare" green talon gauntlets. I was going to toss them in my Swap Shop with the rest of the accessories from both figures, but as I was walking through my Hobby Hallway with the lights off and noticed that they glow in the dark! I am a sucker for GITD stuff so I am keeping them LOL
-
Some examples of the variant gear from the Spinmaster "Batman" figures.
L-R (Top): Bronze Tiger "Areo Translucent" yellow shield and claw, armored Batman "Rare" metallic blue shoulder cannon, "Cryptic Camo" green buzzsaw/batarang and multi-batarang gauntlets.
L-R (Bottom): Bronze Tiger "Septic Sludge" shield and claw and "Urban Armor" shoulder cannon (according to the pack-in pamphlet this is an error as it was supposed to be an "Areo Translucent" grey shoulder cannon), Armored Batman "Urban Armor" silver buzzsaw/batarang and mult-batarang gauntlets.
Note: the shoulder cannon from Bronze Tiger is an exact match for the "Urban Armor" Batman gauntlets and would probably look a lot better with the base figure than the "Rare" one would.
-
The Spinmaster "Batman" 3-in-1 Batcave playset is out!
$44.99 at Target.
-
Another new Spinmaster "Batman" Batmobile. This one comes with an exclusive deco Batman figure and is an R/C car.
$19.99 at Target.
-
You saw all kinds of great new stuff. Off to share on the front page.
-
I spotted the Killer Croc figure on the left for the first time today. The one on the right I see all of the time. I believe the one on the left may be some kind of chase "Rare"/"Super Rare" figure like Spinmaster is inserting into random retail cases.
If this has been spotted before, disregard my "discovery" LOL
-
Reports of 2021 Spinmaster "Batman" figures being found early!
-
On the front pages
-
2021 Walmart exclusive Batman vs. Bane set.
-
Nice, I share this on the front page.
-
Upcoming Target exclusive Mr. Freeze from the Spin Master "Batman" line.
-
Saw this exclusive tonight at Walmart but had no real interest in it for myself.
-
The next wave of Spin Master "Batman" figures.
-
On the front page.
-
This line is really fun. I always look at it in stores. I have 1-2 figures from thrifts so I'm in no rush to get started on another DC line since I got a bunch of the multiverse figures $5 and under and just opened every single one... Including higher value figures like deathstroke & batman beyond.
That being said I REALLY want that Batcave! I've gotten like 3 of the Kenner versions past couple years and this new one looks like the best yet since its two giant sets stacked. Would love to see one painted and detailed since it could easily be dressed to not be DC or Batman.
-
2 new figure/vehicle packs have started showing up:
-
New RC Batmobile at Target.
The wheels, oddly, are made of soft foam.
-
Target will be getting an exclusive redeco of Firefly soon.
-
I saw this and put it on the front page.
-
Looks like Spinmaster will be doing toys for the upcoming movie "The Batman".
-
The Target exclusive Spin Master Batman repaints are out.
These were spotted in Clifton, NJ.
-
Off to share on the front page.
-
A heads'-up to all of my collector friends:
If you are hunting the new Harley Quinn from the Spinmaster "Batman" line, check the face paint VERY closely. The tampos for the left eye and lipstick are off center on almost every one I have seen. The lipstick varies from just over/under the sculpted lips to smack dab in between her lips and chin. The left eye ranges from just over/under the sculpted one to full on Sloth from "The Goonies".
I saw over 3 dozen examples and only found 5 that were good.
-
I will spread the word Dan. Thanks for letting us know.
On the front page.
-
Spinmaster is releasing figures for the new movie "The Batman".
There are single figures, figures with vehicles and even a Batcave playset!

Great Set. Thanks for sharing it.
Off to the front pages.

Spotted this today at Walmart in Garfield, NJ.
Start hunting if you are after one!

Thanks for sharing that great deal!
Facebook won't let me embed it. ARghhhh!
-
Spinmaster has an upcoming "Batman" set that includes "Swamp Thing"!
-
Nice Dan. You picking this one up?
-
Nice Dan. You picking this one up?
I am a huge Swamp Thing fan, so this one is an instant purchase :)
-
Apparently, these new Spinmaster "Batman" sets are beginning to show up.
I need that Swamp Thing set ASAP! He is one of my all time favorite comic characters and he doesn't get enough action figure love.
-
For anyone that was waiting for this to go on clearance, start checking your local Walmarts!
-
Saw this and got it on the front page Dan. Thanks for making us aware.
-
Spotted this Spinmaster "Black Adam" set for the first time in person tonight.
The hoverbike is the star of the package. It is big, well detailed, has articulated winglets and is pretty hefty.
The Intergang Mercenary has an interesting design but most of the details kind of get lost in the swirly pearlescent silver plastic. A black wash should bring out the details nicely.
Black Adam is the same as every other release so far and really could have been left out of the pack to reduce the cost a bit.
This is a Walmart exclusive and retails for $21.97.
I will be waiting a bit to see if they have a sale before I grab one.
-
I haven't seen that set live, but your assessment seems spot on to me. I do like the Intergang figure.
-
On the front page.
-
If anyone missed these when Target clearanced them out, they are hitting Burlington for $11.99.
-
Nice price Dan. Off to share.
-
Walmart has a Spin Master "Justice League" bargain box for the Holidays.
It contains the majority of the current roster, without any accessories, for $25.
While there is nothing new in this set, it will still make a great present for a kid just getting into superheroes.
-
Awesome. Off to share.
-
Not impressed with these images of the upcoming Spinmaster "The Flash" movie action figures.
-
Is it just me or are the necks messed up?
Thanks for sharing this though, on the front page.
-
Yeah...I'm not really excited about these (or the movie for that matter). Tamer's right, the neck dimensions seem off - either too thick or too thin. Maybe its just the pictures.
-
On Instagram @blueharvestcollector shared another good reminder for Hasbro and their brand team that they haven't given us the crew from REBELS in super-articulated form, yet.
When I saw that pack on my latest store report (http://www.imperialshipyards.net/SMF/index.php?topic=1012.msg231918#msg231918) recently, I thought that Swamp Thing might be a good base for a custom Zeb figure:
(https://i.imgur.com/N59kaye.jpg)

(https://i.imgur.com/JL9E11v.png)
Heavy sanding on the body and some sculpting is required, but I can see Zeb in there. Also the accessory looks like the weapon dropped by the creature we see at the end of the latest trailer for Mando Season 3! This set is definitely worth getting.
-
Not a bad idea for Zeb.
-
I could see that as a base for Zeb - though it would definitely be work.
-
Some more images of the upcoming "The Flash" movie line.
-
The necks on these action figures?
-
The necks look like a simple swivel...

I don't like em.

One of my friends got the "Flash" movie Batwing set already (the Amazon exclusive version with Flash, Supergirl and Nam-Ek) and he said it feels really cheap, like a modern Chap Mei vehicle.
Also, the figures are the same scale as the "Black Adam" line so they are tiny.
-
Flash single carded figures are hitting Walmart.
-
Cool, put that on our FB Page if you get a chance Dan.
-
"The Flash" movie line is on clearance already at Target:
-
Nice, saw this and posted.
-
Nice, saw this and posted.
The Flash is the fastest man alive, even at hitting clearance price 🤣
-
LOL. Dan that is good.
-
Upcoming "Aquaman And The Lost Kingdom" set, expected to retail for $34
-
I like the Black Manta...he's promising :)
-
Depending on the price, I want 6 of these Target exclusive sets for the Shark Guards (for aquatic aliens) and Manta Men (will make great steampunk spacemen)! The Black Mantas will also be used for spacetroopers and the Aquamen will get new heads and gear and be fantasy heroes.
-
Very nice! I'll keep my eyes open for this set. Is there any chance for a single release of those Shark Guards? The figures in this 4-pack might be useful for some Star Wars customs like Selkath or Rakata. I could see Aquaman's headsculpt on a Jedi or Tol Skorr body as well. Or maybe a custom Chad Kroeger from Nickelback. Thanks for sharing!
-
Target has the Aquaman 4pk for $29.99 online only.
Just ordered 6 sets across 2 orders to take advantage of the "spend $100/save $25" and "Spend $50/save $10" offers!
They should be here by Wednesday, 10/4!

In this economy, you have to.

There is another "Aquaman And The Lost Kingdon" 4pk, this one on Amazon:
https://amzn.to/46fkLOd
Very similar to the Target exclusive set, but they swapped out regular Aquaman for the stealth variant and the Shark Guard for Orm.
-
Nice. Time to go share this.
-
Several people on Facebook asked for scale pics of the new "Aquaman And The Lost Kingdom" figures with both a 3.75" and a 4" figure so I figured I would post them here as well in case anyone was curious.
-
The Shark Troopers seem cool as do the Manta Troopers.
-
Not sure how widely known this is, but Spinmaster has adopted the plasticless packaging from their recent "Blue Beetle" and "Aquaman And The Lost Kingdom" lines for their mainline "DC" line (formerly "DC Heroes United").
There is only 1 new figure in the assortment though, a comic styled Black Adam.
-
At least this doesn't hide the paint apps of the figure. Off to share.
-
Found at Burlington in Garfield, NJ!
-
I know several people that wanted this but felt that the $100 price tag was outrageous.
It is on Walmart.com's Cyber Monday sale for only $35!

Thanks for sharing that Dan. Off to let people know!

The movie isn't even out yet and the toys are being clearanced at Walmart!

Crazy times. I saw you had posted quite a bit of new toys news. Off to the front page!

-
Spinmaster MAY be releasing 3.75" and 12" action figures from across the "Batman" cinematic catalog.
We will know more when Spinmaster makes an official announcement.
