Oh ok... I guess that similar to those prototypes and figures sold at eBay from China!???

As to the leaks, has the source been determined? I see three main possibilities. Someone without authorization at the factory. Someone without authorization at Hasbro. The PR team at Hasbro.
I figure the factory is the most likely culprit.

Flint and the Cartoon BAT look great. Thanks a mod here, I got an IG BAT head to put on a regular BAT and love it (although, weirdly, the head doesn't fit quite right). I would love to have a few more cartoon BATs.
Yeah yeah. I've never gotten the name right in my brain.

I'm guessing you mean Dr. Biggles-Jones and not some amalgamation of Dr. Evil and his cat.

These all look good, loving the cover girl. The bat looks better in those colors than I thought it would. Funny how these images keep leaking out, have anything to do with them switching factories I wonder.
Awww whos a good pupper?
