I was browsing at Toys R Us yesterday, and I found three - three! - variants of Mattel's Super Friends Batman figure.
I mean, I know that Mattel's taking a huge financial hit from all of these lead paint recalls, but if they're planning on making their money back from completists, that's just not nice.
It's a secret invasion of the About Heroes podcast! Is one of us a Skrull? Ben joins the regulars to help us figure it out. On this episode:

Holy variants, indeed!
Actually, according to an article I read in my local paper this morning, there were four Marvel Batman figures that were in the recall:
1. Magna Battle Armor Batman
2. Magna Fight Wing Batman
3. Secret ID Figure
4. Flying Fox Figure
I don't know if anyone plans on getting any of these or has them already, but just wanted to share the info with my compadres.
Here we go again with the variants. No wonder I can't find any JLU packs I have to dig under these variants.
The ones in the recall are not from the Super Friends line. The recalled ones were from "The Batman" animated series line. Not from any of the JLU sets either.
Whoops! Did I say "Marvel"? I meant, "Mattel". Sorry. :)
You're right, Jeff, I did notice that they were from the "Batman: The Animated Series" line. I just figured that whichever line the ones in the recall belonged to, anybody that might have them or was thinking of getting them would want to know.
