First off let me state that in no way, shape, or form do I expect this discussion thread to be as robust as any other thread here.

However, myself, and I am sure several others, have bought into this line either for ourselves or for our children. I have bought into these figures for my son since the SuperFriends line is for all intents and purposes DEAD.

He loves the Batcave playset and individual figures, of which we have them all. I even just found the new Mr. Freeze and Batman w/ Black motorcycle.

The accessories are fun an easy to use. The scale and articulation are perfect for his 6 year old hands and imagination. Yesterday he sent Batman, Superman, and Penguin on safari with the ImagiNext animals line and the GeoTrax are only a few inches away at any given time as well. (I would love to see a Bat-Plane for the new GeoTrax airplane expansions!!!)

I would so love to see more, more, more become available in this format (although I do recognize that this model seems to hit big initially and then linger into obscurity. :( ). I/We would love to see a Hall of Justice playset or a Fortress of Solitude. I/We would like to see several other Justice Leaguers thrown into the mix. Green Lanterns, Aquaman, Ace the Bat-Hound, villains galore and on and on, all with fun accessories and vehicles to boot.

Also, the newest ImagiNext lines (Beach Patrol and Fire Station) seem to be in a slightly larger scale making it more difficult to interchange the accessories and vehicles. Please help maintain a consistent scale for easier crossover play between themes.

Anyone else out there got these yet? I have even set up the DCIH figures with the Batcave. Scale is not outrageously off (although the styles are radically different.)

Chime in, let us know how much fun everyone else is having with these toys. I'll even try to get my son up here to share some of his playtime adventures!

>>>>>>Edit, TEN YEARS Later:
I've created a checklist for all of the current Blind Bag assortments (and yes, it will be kept up to date).

I found the 2-pack with Rookie in the Walmart stocking stuffer bins over the weekend.  Is that the only new set that's out there?...

 

Has anyone heard anything new at all?...  mygrodd.com hasn't updated since June 8th... will we ever see those new Slammers?...

My friend told me to stop quoting the Monkees. I thought she was joking. But then I saw her face.

@jim_abell 

 

I saw a post on Reddit a few weeks ago, where someone found the second wave in Canada. Even included a few pics. 

Not sure what that means for the US.

Thanks for the info.  That means they did see production.  May not be easy to find but they do exist...

@Jim_Abell, care to remind me of what the Wave 2 Slammers consisted of? I have no memory of seeing pics or release info for these.

 

Also just found "Batman and Rookie" at Walmart this morning.  The other sets (Penguin, Riddler, and Mr Freeze) are basically repaints but Freeze does sport a new "angry" head.  The only other set that I'm on the lookout for is the "Robin and Goliath" box set but that was announced so long ago I wouldn't be surprised if it is a covid casualty

I want Batgirl, Ivy, Supergirl and Val-Zod from that batch.  I need to check, I think I have a Batwing but not sure.  The other 2-packs I found with the Rookie set I got last summer at Kroger, I didn't know they were anything "new".  Who is Goliath?...  Don't remember seeing pics of that one...

Thanks.  I followed the link from Brickseek to Walmart and the link at Walmart was dead.  Doesn't sound good for the set.

Over the last month, I have picked up the Batman & Rookie 2-pack, and the single figures of Batwing and Black Adam.

Hi! 

I've been searching for an Imaginext 3D model like this, but obviously unable to find it.  

Imgnxt 3D (Sorry I had to place a link, but at least in my cellphone I had no option to paste a picture).

My search lead me here and to this link but there is no author of the model, and apparently the link only works from a specific search.

https://m.imgur.com/9EehNk

Does anyone know who made it? Or any of you downloaded it? 

Thanks for your help.

@jim_abell that’s not Val Zod.

that’s Cal Ellis, Superman of Earth -23.

Val Zod wears white and is the Superman of Earth 2.

This guy over on YouTube has found a couple of new releases. 
Another series of the “light-up” single packs and a joker bot coming soon.

Found the new batch of singles at Walmart yesterday.  Still in the little book packs and still with the lightless light-up feature.  The assortment contains gray/blue Batman, classic Superman, Burnside Batgirl, Batwing, Batman Beyond and Metallo.  Only got Metallo and the assortment wasn't in the POS system, yet, so it took fooooooooooooooreeeeeeeeeeeeeeveeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeerrrrrrrrr to get scanned-out.  I don't remember this Metallo mold from anything else but I can't imagine it being a new figure for these singles.  The upper torso seems to split in half to completely expose the translucent green "Kryptonite" innards.  There is a pin running just above the hips that the halves seem to hinge upon (haven't opened, yet) and the arms appear to be held on a the shoulder with metal pins.  The artwork on the front shows the exposed "metal" parts of Metallo to be silver/gray but the actual figure has white.  I  wonder if that's a mistake that could get a running change... The color choice looks terrible in white.  Sorry for the horrible pic but the flash kept washing out the image.
