Speaker
AICNN, where toy news matters. Welcome to AIC News. Give us a few minutes and we'll give you the goods. I'm the bottle of depth styling gel from Totally Hair Barbie, and I'm here with Mr. Potato Head's left ear. Dave and Eric are out.
00:01:29
Speaker
Keaton Batman is back, baby. Both McFarlane Toys and Spin Master posted pre-orders, and in some cases, in stock listings, for their figures to support the upcoming Flash film featuring the return of Michael Keaton's Batman.
00:01:45
Speaker
pre-orders for both Keaton and Affleck's Batman, Supergirl, two versions of Ezra Miller's The Flash and a Dark Flash, along with Affleck's Bat Cycle, and the 1989-styled Batmobile and Batwing in McFarland's 7-inch-scale DC Multiverse line went up at most major retailers like Amazon, Target, GameStop, and Entertainment Earth.
00:02:08
Speaker
Of note, that Batwing is a McFarland Toys Store exclusive and will run you about $250. The Batmobile has pretty much sold out everywhere, and there is an exclusive unmasked version of Batman available exclusively at Target.
00:02:28
Speaker
Meanwhile, Spin Master's four-inch and 12-inch figures for the film went up with some sets being in stock on Amazon, including an exclusive five-pack featuring four-inch versions of Zod, both versions of The Flash, Batman, and Supergirl. Spin Master's treatment of the 89 Batmobile is an RC car with lights, sounds, and smoke effects, and yes, it can seat a four-inch Batman figure.
