WalMart Exclusives

Mon Feb 06, 2023 12:24 pm

I never saw Parallax or AzBat. And I check multiple WalMarts EVERY SINGLE DAY.
Will these ever be released en masse?

It's possible that they might hit the McFarlane site at some point as some in the past have, but otherwise I'm sure they're done in stores. I never saw AzBats either but I saw Parallax clearanced out for 50% off months ago. I picked up a Vampire Batman last week and lots of people have reported picking up Eradicator in store too, but I haven't seen him yet. Of course I only go to one singular Walmart and only once per week, usually on Saturdays when it's already picked over. Like everything else, your best bet is online at some point. With the other recent exclusives they went online several weeks after they had already hit stores. I think that I picked up Shazam! online like 2 months after most people had already found him in store.

Wally West/Flash was a Wal Mart exclusive. He’s now on Todd’s store site.

correct, same for the corrected masked catwoman, she was a walmart exclusive too and i was happy she popped up on todd's toystore.
i was lucky and after checking 8 different walmarts a week i got azbat.

i have hope azbat and any other exclusive will pop up on the mcfarlane store eventually just takes time.
target is a amazing at getting exclusive easy, thought it would be nice to see those on todd's store too as i did miss out on the 90's kyle and white deathstroke.

I managed to snag Kyle online. He's not my favorite version though.

Man, Parallax... I am a 80s/ 90s comic fan and it seems those are the most difficult to find.

I was holding out hope for a Parallax with the right colored hair getting released after the Walmart exclusive. He looks decent, but I shouldn't have to paint his hair brown and then do grey highlights for the price.

I've seen shelf tags for Eradicator, but haven't found him yet. Hopefully that's a sign he'll be well stocked.

Never saw AzBats. Hunted for the longest time then gave up. Refusing to pay eBay prices for him. He’s good but I don’t see why he’s available to some but not others. I’m ok with exclusives but won’t pay over the odds anymore unless it’s a must have. Already decided to free myself of the completist collector group for this line.

AzBats is the one I want, but I never saw it in the store.
Not in a real rush to have the AzBats at marked up prices either. The MAFEX AzBats is doing just fine right now.
Not one to squander a repaint opportunity, I am hoping that a metallic version of AzBat comes out similar to what McFarlane Toys did with Captain Cold.

I somehow managed to snag him tonight. I wasn't thinking I wanted him but when I saw him I wanted him. But why is he so different from the comics?

I really don't like Wal-Mart exclusives for any line or property. It seems like Wal-Mart really hates to be bothered putting out their own damn exclusives. But I will say, I feel like the McFarlane DC Gold Label figures at Wal-Mart have a much better chance of being found, than say Star Wars Black Series or Marvel Legends that are exclusive to Wal-Mart.

I found figures like the Gold Label Joker, Parallax, SHAZAM, Wally West, and the recent Vampire Batman easily.

But then, I NEVER saw AzBat, and had to get him off Ebay. And I have yet to find Eradicator and have even had 2 different orders for him cancelled online at Wal-Marts site. (Another thing I hate about Wal-Mart. Ordering from them online is NO guarantee you will get the product, as they cancel so many orders/pre orders)

So, even DC McFarlane Wal-Mart exclusives can be problematic. But I feel Todd's figure line has a much better success rate at being found than some lines from other companies.

Also, like others have mentioned, it seems some of these retail exclusives end up on Mcfarlane toys store website.

I did manage to find Eradicator yesterday at a different Walmart, right on his shelf tag.

I hate that Walmart only lets you order from stores around you for these exclusives. Why can't they just ship from the warehouse to your home. So annoying.
