They plan to re-design the DC Direct website soon and do things like polling and be more interactive with the fans. hmm.....

SDCC is the San Diego Comic Con

and as for the Superman MM figs..I'm willing to bet that if those sell well enough ( and I'm sure that they will) the Burton Bat-figs will be next in line...and trust me when I tell you if people think that the DK MM figs are hard to get..wait until they make MM 89 and Returns figs!

[Gotham Knight]

I'd like to see a Batman variant of 89 called

'Battle Ravaged' Batman, who could come with a stand with a sculpt of part of a crashed batwing

[Kamdan]

I've been reading on the Superhero Hype Board that the Four Horsemen (the sculpters who did The Dark Knight Movie Masters) may be doing Movie Masters for the earlier Batman films in the same manner along with other DC Comics movies and television shows. Looks like we may be getting closer to having those figures.

As far as the B89 figure petiton is concerned, I'd be interested in a company like Hot Toys producing 1:6 figures but the little plastic ones just don't interest me anymore.

Response to the petition has been slow.

Has there been much promotion for it by members?

[shadowbat69]

Honestly? I get tired of bringing it up on the other boards. Its constantly discussed on SHH, but if they dont come sign the petition, whats the point? LoG has about 5 regular posters over there, its really become a dead forum.

If ya think about it a petition is worthless unless you get hundreds of people to sign it. Whatever company makes them is not gonna care about a petition with 50 people or even 100. Ya gotta think HUGE numbers. ( Look at when "Family Guy" was canceled & the DVD sold like a million copies. The network execs woke up & re-grouped the show ).

If somebody created a website, where people could sign a petiton, then have all the many different message boards get behind it, then it might get enough sigs. Plus, people could use their MySpace, Facebook, blogs, etc...to get behind it also.

You have to imagine it like a political campaign where you need HUGE numbers to win. The toy company probably want to know that if they do make it that it will sell really well. 15-20 crybabies wanting a certain bat-figure isn't gonna cut it, ha ha!

Sorry to be harsh, just trying to be real.

Sorry to be harsh, just trying to be real.

You are right.

[shadowbat69]

Yeah, Tom you are right, but you never know unless you try.
