Zur En Arrh Batman (Target)

[Geescube]

Okay, was wondering about that. At least 3 stores in WA have had Joker ex sightings but no Batman to be seen yet. Good to know we aren't crazy...yet.

[lcarus83]

Im about to go check my area. Doubt anythings there but i need to go to the store anyway

I went to 8 different Targets around the area and never saw a single Batman or Joker for that matter. I stopped looking after two different shipments going to several stores. However, I am pretty sure one Target near me had a case of those exclusives, because Brickseek showed 6 in stock that morning. I went around 8:30am and when I got there, there were 3 common Suicide Squad POPs and that was it....there were none the day before when I was at that Target. That means either someone swiped them all right when the store opened OR employees got to them and never even put them on the shelf.

[alex_dewitt]

Somehow I have a feeling that it will pop up here in Europe and probably on Popcultcha too after some time has passed, even if Popcultcha told people they weren't gonna get it.

We know, they said that last week or the week before also.

[GraphicSilence]

The Targets in my area finally got Batman, but one blatantly told me the employees got them, and the other 2 each only got one Batman and someone bought him the morning of. So yea... I'm probably not going to be able to get him in the wild.

This is an all too common occurrence, where the employees swipe things before they ever hit the shelf.

I hope that comes true

[RobinBear177]

I understand that everybody wants to keep hoping for more or that their store will get some but it's time to face reality. There are no more in the wild. If there were there would be a lot more popping up on eBay and mercari.

[JoshChaos]

I saw someone post one on Facebook this morning. I didn't really stop to read the post thoroughly, but I'm almost certain it said they found it in the wild this morning.

Again, I may be wrong about that, as I was rushed and didn't take the time to read it thoroughly.

[alex_dewitt]

What I'm asking myself now: Is this fair? Because that also means people from overseas have to go the pricey ebay route to be able to obtain one of these. I'm not interested in one so I don't really care, but it sucks for completionists.

That is how it used to be for people overseas, so yeah.

I think he's saying that is how it used to be...there weren't overseas distributors. So that's how it is going to be now. It's not "fair", but that's how it used to be so it isn't any different....something like that.

Underground Toys (and Ikon Collectibles in Australia I think) distributes the exact same Pops as in USA. They're just all lumped together as UT Exclusives here when they are exclusive to particular stores in USA. So I don't see how it is fair when this one Pop is ONLY ever sold at Targets in the United States. So no, that's not how it used to be because we get everything you guys get, just later and with different stickers and I don't see why Europe shouldn't receive limited quantities of this Batman as well.

PS: Not talking about Con Exclusives here.

PPS: Maybe I'm completely misunderstanding what's going on right now so sorry in advance if that's the case!

Not really....PopCultcha has never gotten Walmart exclusives...like Jabba 3 pack, Sandtrooper/Dewback set, Unmasked Kylo Ren. So I don't see why it is farfetched if this Batman isn't sold outside of the states.

We've only gotten unmasked Poe NOW which is ridiculous. And ironically enough the Walmart exclusive Pops come with a Walmart sticker here. Makes me think Funko has a special time-limited contract with Walmart. I'm pretty sure Kylo will hit Popcultcha and Europe sooner or later. No idea what the deal about the packs was, you're right, they haven't appeared yet and I don't think they will.

But if you really think about it, it would be a shame if the Zur blabla Batman never appears here, but maybe there's some special agreement with Target going on. Who knows...

[HowardTheDuck]

So it's over then.....oh well.

I was saying that European collectors had to rely on eBay back in the day, 2005 and some years after, to purchase exclusive Funko Pop! figures, since distributors did not carry them. They now have access to a majority of the exclusives, but there are some that they have never sold possibly due to contract agreements, such as some of the Toy Tokyo exclusives (Batmobiles and Arlia Vegeta) and I think there are some Hot Topic exclusives as well. I am not saying it is fair, but that is how it goes in the collecting world sometimes.

[Princess]

I have waited to post about this Pop as it doesn't really affect me as I am not a huge Batman fan. I have a few batman pops that I really like, but I only collect the ones that really appeal to me, and this wasn't one that I HAD to have.

But the more I think about it, the more irked I am by Funko ignoring their international collectors. We can't even try to get one at our local Target. Our only option is eBay. On top of that, we pay $30+ USD for shipping. So we were always looking at $60+ USD even if we tried to buy as soon as it was released...now, it's so much more. I can understand people waiting, and hoping that stores got restocked and the price would go down, or those who didn't buy on eBay at first hoping that it would arrive at PC or FP. But now we know they won't get it either. So by the time we find out the stores here won't get them, we now have to pay ridiculous eBay prices and shipping.

I know this will be a unpopular opinion, but feel that Funko disrespected its international community on this one. Again, it doesn't affect me, but I know a few other Aussies who are really upset that they are looking at $130+ AUD for one pop when they never even had a chance to buy it retail. At least put it in the Target stores here, and make us hunt for it too.....but give the Batman collectors a chance to get it under $130.

Before you say, well that's just how it goes....think about how you would feel if there was an exclusive that was only available in an Australian store (not PC), that doesn't ship to the USA and it was a very popular character that you collected, and there was absolutely no way you could get it and you had to buy on eBay. Sure, you would pay the eBay prices if you wanted it that badly, but wouldn't you feel just a little cheated?

I know I'm coming across as sounding like I feel "entitled". And that's why I delayed this post. Because I don't want to sound that way or be that way. But I guess at the end of the day, that is how I feel.....that I should be given the same chance at obtaining a figure as anyone else. At least if they were a limited release at Targets here and I couldn't find one, I could pay eBay prices without the exorbitant shipping prices on top.

Australians aren't alone in this, but I have used us as an example simply because it's where I am. The premise of giving all collectors a chance is the same no matter what the country.

I saw the comment regarding that this is how things used to be. But things change, as they should. Just because something was done in the past, doesn't mean it should remain that way in the future. If Funko make it so difficult/expensive for collectors to collect....then they limit their market. Some will have the money to pay the ridiculous prices, but many will not. It's already difficult for international collectors to collect some pieces, we already pay more than in the USA even for regular pops like the rides etc. So why make it even harder?

Funko is a great company, and they do a lot of good. I just think that they missed the mark on this one a little, and it's leaving a bad taste in people's mouths. I just hope this practice doesn't become the norm and is only the exception.

(Apologies for the length of this rant...)

[poppetmaster]

I see where you're coming from, Princess....but it's the same with POP Asia stuff for us here in the US. All of us have to buy from overseas sellers and pay out the rear end, unless a board member is lucky enough to get them for us, which isn't always that easy. Sure, ToyTokyo has a small selection of Asia POPs but what about all of the exclusives or ones they don't have? And what about the ones (like me) who are never doing business with ToyTokyo again? It's just the way things are.

[CampBhoy67]

Personally as an international collector, there are a few reasons why I feel so disappointed in this whole situation. Firstly, Target exclusives along with HT etc always show up on Popcultcha and FP. Sometimes it's takes a while for them to do so (FN 2187 only showed up on FP last week). So when this Batman was announced we immediately assumed that would be the case again. However, by the time we found out that wouldn't be happening the price was already through the roof as Princess said. Another reason why so many are complaining is that the Pop itself is a Batman variant, and Batman is the best selling Pop character (I believe). So naturally the number of people who wanted this Pop was going to be higher than many exclusives. I will eventually get this Pop because I want to, but none of the money will go to Funko where it should go, it'll be going into some flippers pocket so they can do the same thing with some other exclusives

We either pay the same prices as you on eBay, or we buy from Toy Tokyo...and also get to pay ridiculous shipping on top of that. As I said before, just because that's the way things are, doesn't mean it is the way they should be.

Well you have to consider the fact that Funko came out and straight up said that the Batman was specifically to promote the new Funko display section at Targets....I mean, things may change later on and they may open up availability worldwide but for now it doesn't seem to be a priority. Whether it causes outrage with international collectors or not.

Also, another thing is not EVERY store got a shipment of these, and the ones that did got 2. Literally 2 POPs. Many of us have to resort to paying out the bum for these on ebay, if we want them...same as with the international collectors. There's not much of a difference other than there were a handful of "lucky people" that got to get them in store. And the majority of that handful went straight to listing them on ebay.

We have Target.....they could put them in Targets here and keep them as exclusives...nice and simple. If Target wants to keep them as exclusives here, they have the ability to do so.

And I get that not every Target store got them there, and that there were issues with them being cleared out as quickly as they came in, and that it was difficult for Americans as well....but you did have a chance..even if it was a slim chance. Even if the same thing happened here, and there were two per store at some stores....and some ended up in the hands of flippers who put them on eBay for the same prices as they are getting in America....at least we wouldn't need to pay the $30+ USD shipping on top of those prices. So to be honest, I would still think we were better off in that scenario. We at least would save on shipping. You get to pay at least $30USD less than we do. Keep in mind that the Australian eBay site will only let us buy from sellers that are prepared to send to Australia....and there are many who won't. So even on eBay, our options are limited.

I think your comment that "opening up availability world world for now doesn't seem to be a priority", is the whole point. for the most part, Funko have been great in giving internationals (and Americans) access to exclusives from places like PC and FP. I'm saying that it should continue to be a priority in order to open up their worldwide markets. You make it harder for people to collect internationally and people either won't even start collecting, or get so frustrated at the cost and the difficulty that they give up.

We already pay on average approximately $3-4USD more for a regular pop. We pay approximately $15USD more for pop rides. I don't like it, but I'll take that on the chin because at least they are available and I don't have to hunt on eBay, or ask American friends to try to track things down for me. But to not even get a shot at buying something? That's not cool.

Next time people comment that it's consumers causing inflated eBay prices, and we are the reason there are flippers, and who tell people not to pay the ridiculous eBay prices.....just remember, that some people have no choice. We don't get to buy them any other way.

Poppet...please note that I am not arguing with you or mean anything personally by my reply. It's great to get another opinion. I'm just giving my perspective on it all

Edit: wording

Oh no, I didn't take it as arguing at all. I completely see where you are coming from. There may be some sort of rights agreement with Target that says they can only sell those in the states, or only 2 per Target or whatever the case is. And Funko doesn't really like to discuss what happens in the back room, behind closed doors.

[ryanc_]

i only really searched for this on one morning, two days ago when I heard some new shipments were arriving. After calling a few and visiting a couple targets there were already two employees who just openly admitted they bought one each, so that's pretty frustrating. I did find a mint joker, which actually looks really nice. I'm not gonna pay over retail for this though so I'm gonna have to live without it.

Woooow some stores got double shipments of this? Unbelievable. My store got one.

No, not one shipment.

One Pop. One Batman. One.

This is garbage.

Actually I believe the other reports about batman only being in the initial shipment are accurate. The target where I found the joker, it seemed that shipment didn't have batman in it, so I guess it was just that first week and the new shipments of suicide squad pops don't have it, but do have the joker.

[RobinBear177]

Yes all the shipments hitting stores from now on have 2 target Jokers and 4 suicide squad pops. There aren't going to be anymore Batmans going out. I think we'll see people starting to move these before and after SDCC. Then we'll see the price really go up cause if all these people are paying $80 - $100+ then how much are they really gonna let them go for knowing they won't be able to get another one. Also this isn't just a repaint like a lot of people like to say. He's a a whole other character.

Yes, Zur En Arrh Batman is a "different character", but this POP is just a repaint. They are still using the 66 mold, just with different colors, hence repaint.

[Sir Real]

So, we've heard many times from Funko that there wont' be any additional shipments of ZEA Bats past the initial ones, but have we heard the actual reason WHY NOT? Store exclusives I understand completely, but why would such a popular character (Batman in general, not necessarily ZEA, but I do like this version a lot), why would such a popular character be so limited, at a single outlet? Wouldn't multiple refreshes drive more traffic into the store? Which is what a store exclusive is supposed to do in the first place. A "one and done" strategy means most collectors won't see this figure at all, and in some places, NO collectors will see it at all, with multiple stories of employees taking them all before ANY make it to the shelf.

It seems the only reason for a single shipment limited store release is to create secondary market value. Did Target NOT want multiple ZEA shipments? that only hurts the chain, and creates anger in the collector community (THE customer base) for both the store AND the manufacturer.

Do we know the actual REASON behind this seemingly arbitrary limit?

[millerjer24]

Demand.

[poppetmaster]

Demand? Demand is pretty high on this one and a lot of people are down right PO'd that they can't get it. I wanted that POP since the beginning...not because it's some 100 dollar piece now. The price tag NOW is a deterrent, but if I was able to find it in store then I definitely would've had it in my collection.

I agree this is just dumb. Can't get one of these Batmans but there have been about 40 stupid Rowdy Roddy Piper and Nature Boy Ric Flairs sitting on the shelf forever....

[Chase Variant]

Yes, Zur En Arrh Batman is a "different character", but this POP is just a repaint. They are still using the 66 mold, just with different colors, hence repaint.

I'm curious if Funko would be able to do the modern Zur-En-Arrh Batman and market it as Batman R.I.P. The current version is definitely the Silver Age one from "Batman–The Superman of Planet X".

A Batman R.I.P. Pop could have an angry cowl, like the Arkham Knight Batman, face stubble, a tattered cape, and a baseball bat.

[Fawk]

I understand the international and domestic collectors being upset about the rollout and limited stock etc. In theory the locals had a small sliver of a chance to get one for themselves, and the international collectors have a 0% without eBay. It sucks, but i do like seeing limited runs outside of the comic cons. For me personality I can't get out of state for comic cons and I have a chance of camping out at a store to have a chance.

Anyways..it's easy to see why people are upset, and it completely sucks dropping $100~+ on a newly released POP.

[JBeard]

Glad I have to and yes I went to eBay and bought my 2nd for $35 just in case I couldn't find it at target. And as luck would have it I did happen to find a second one at my target. They got four on the 18th two days after the the initial release and the same day funko announced it was very limited ultra rare. I quickly ran to eBay and picked one up before the price skyrocketed. Just in case my target got none. Anybody could of picked one up for $35 on day one on eBay. As a seasoned collector of a lot of things not just pops. It was common sense to grab 1 for $35 knowing with funkos announcement they would only go up higher and higher. Moral being whether you like it or not people shouldn't of waited until the last minute trying to get one for cheap. And forked out and extra $20 on eBay and other sites. Sucks now for all the people that really wanted him. But y'all kinda shot yourself in the foot now they are a hell of a lot more then $35. People need to stop nickel and dining if you can't afford him for $35 you shouldn't have him.

Glad I have to and yes I went to eBay and bought my 2nd for $35 just in case I couldn't find it at target. And as luck would have it I did happen to find a second one at my target. They got four on the 18th two days after the the initial release and the same day funko announced it was very limited ultra rare. I quickly ran to eBay and picked one up before the price skyrocketed. Just in case my target got none. Anybody could of picked one up for $35 on day one on eBay. As a seasoned collector of a lot of things not just pops. It was common sense to grab 1 for $35 knowing with funkos announcement they would only go up higher and higher. Moral being whether you like it or not people shouldn't of waited until the last minute trying to get one for cheap. And forked out and extra $20 on eBay and other sites. Sucks now for all the people that really wanted him. But y'all kinda shot yourself in the foot now they are a hell of a lot more then $35. People need to stop nickel and dining if you can't afford him for $35 you shouldn't have him.

Really why would someone buy it for $35 when they were JUST hitting shelves.
