I got one of these Batman figures a couple weeks ago. The guy I buy them from has some, I believe he was going to sell some online as well. It's pretty awesome, if you are a Batman and Pop! Fan, it's worth it to have another Batman Pop!

I honestly don't know who is the #1 Batman fan right now... we need pics and some sort of contests... You guys need to start a thread and compare your Batman collections.

Is someone sponsoring the event? A blue metallic batman would be nice

Postby **akaSID** » Wed Apr 04, 2012 7:16 pm

I just used BIN on ebay and got this new-fangled yellow-circle regular for $9.95!

Postby **The_Batman** » Wed Apr 04, 2012 9:11 pm

Akasid, thats the regular price for a new one. I picked up the 3 batman's for you guys today. They have one more in stock.

Postby **miyella** » Wed Apr 04, 2012 10:21 pm

Hahaha, now that would be a cool contest. Wish I had a blue metallic Batman as a prize for you guys.

I know Glowfunkofreak Ron is a huge "old school" batman fan! But it looks like there are a ton on this board! Batman is one of my favorite characters, always has been. I have not collected much batman stuff in lieu of funko or anything else, as a kid, I had a lot of batman stuff from cereal boxes, etc. I have and had lots of batman comic books over the years. The Joker was always my favorite Villian. I still remember buying the first Joker issue in the pharmacy when I was a lad. My weekly routine was that I would get like a dollar a week allowance, and bought a few comics, some penny candy, and maybe a pack of baseball, football or hockey cards, depending on the season. I figured, what the hell, there was a piece of gum in there. When I discovered Girls, I gave my brother all my shoeboxes of baseball cards, and it amassed into a small fortune for him! In 1973 / 74, I had just about every baseball card imaginable. Football cards from the 60's and 70's passed on to me by an older kid up the hill from us. The Comic books, I still have most of them. I love nostaglia and pop culture, always have. I even had a coke machine and sign collection when I was a kid! Too bad I got rid of most of them... some of the stuff I had is worth a small a fortune today! Hopefully Kevinbuddha reads this! Insert _________ here kev!! lol

well when i ordered last night, gemini had 18 available. earlier this afternoon, he had 5 left. now, it's back up to 21. so... i'm gonna guess there's plenty to go around for everyone here that really cares about them.

of course, three months ago, i woulda said the same thing about mike and sulley.

Postby **batmanfunatic92** » Thu Apr 05, 2012 4:53 pm

Awesome story Mike

most ladies do not dig the collecting, so I understand

Postby **Choche** » Thu Apr 05, 2012 10:22 pm

Aw, maaaaaan. That's one more Batman Pop! I doubt I'll ever come across in my country...

Anyway, it seems like most of you guys are picking these guys up from a variety of stores, and seen quite a few around. Does this mean that this is the new model and the old one is retired?

Looks like it was done as a mistake of sorts and that it has been corrected. I only saw one at the store I was at today. I go every week, so if I see another one I'll pick it up and keep you in mind.

Oh, I really appreciate that, my only problem is the shipping cost, they are way pricy for my wage, that's what has stopped me from making some great deals with some folks in this forum. Nonetheless, I very much appreciate it

Postby **The_Batman** » Fri Apr 06, 2012 12:38 am

Alright, so according to the past events in pop history... these pops will be super expensive and rare in like 2-3 months?

Postby **JoshRJV77** » Fri Apr 06, 2012 1:30 am

Not necessarily, considering these are errors and to be honest a fairly minor one, most people I'd assume would pass in these especially if they already have a regular one! It's going to be mostly the completists and batman collectors, and I'm sure there's plenty to go around! I personally must have these fort batman collection! Lol! When I receive mine from you and my custom I'll post an updated picture of my caped crusaders!

Postby **The_Batman** » Fri Apr 06, 2012 2:13 am

Which custom?

Postby **edorice** » Fri Apr 06, 2012 7:47 am

The one from Ebay that Amos had last week. His girlfriend outbid the heck out of me to get it for his birthday.

I wish there were more than one to go around! Sorry she out bid ya! But I am very excited for it! It's already been shipped! this is the custom!

Postby **edorice** » Fri Apr 06, 2012 12:22 pm

No problem. I got the Robin, but I hope Amos does another Batman.

Postby **yellowrice** » Fri Apr 06, 2012 12:49 pm

Both Batman and Robin looked sweet!

Postby **Jango_Fresh** » Sat Apr 07, 2012 1:07 am

Saw a few of these today at Sakura-Con, was thinking about getting one to be my default batman since all I got is a chase batman. Think I saw at least 3.
