DCC - Batman: Arkham Figure Series (Origins, Asylum, City, Knight)

Re: Batman: Arkham City - DC Direct - Series 1 action figures

Went and had a look at the batclaw, he holds it differently to the figure which is why it looks awkward on the figure. But, it would be hard to a hand without moulding the claw to the figures hand. So its a catch 22 for DCD really;

And I'll get a shot up tomorrow morning for you. I quite like it. Ill take a shot of my other favourite pose for you too! The second pose is with his left arm out straight to the side, looking left with the batarang about to be thrown. The first pose is with the left arm push back and bent, so the elbow forces the cape out and forces the cape to the figures right side, and the hand, if you twist it abit, it traps the cape to look like the figure is holding it one side. looks awkward sometimes but then on another glance it looks awsome.

The Play Arts Batman just came out in China. I think it blows these outta the water. What do you guys think?

Re: Batman: Arkham City - DC Direct - Series 1 action figures

Just looks far too thin and 'japanesy'. By that, I mean the excessive, well looks like weathering on the cape and on the gauntlets and boots. love the batclaw, but the batarang is way out of proportion, just seems too 'anime' to me.

Love the jokers body, but the face doesn't look right (again, japanesy/anime like). Great figures, but IMO not representative of the game.

More to the point, not worth £60!

I think the Play Arts guys got the Bats headsculpt really spot on.
BTW got the Robin and Harley from Series 1 from BBTS today and they are great, specially Harley. Robin's sculpt and proportions are kind of a mismatch but anyway with the right pose it all looks cool.

Waiting for the Sick Joker that Buttmunch sent, its still 'in transit'

Agreed. The headsculpt is excellent, but the rest of the figure looks waaaaay too anime. Same for Joker too, just way too anime looking.
Shame about the scale and the price of these though or I'd have bought them just for their awesome accessories

Re: Batman: Arkham City - DC Direct - Series 1 action figures

I dunno i think the badassery makes up for the slight animeish vibe it has

Re: Batman: Arkham City - DC Direct - Series 1 action figures

Got the Sick Joker from Buttmunch today in the mail

Now awaiting the rest of the series, cant wait for all the guys to be released. Collecting Arkham City might take us till 2014

^ Same here, this is gonna be an awesome year with all the AC figures due out. Can't wait to see who's going to be revealed for the rest of wave 3. Hopefully this line will continue well into 2013 and give us every major character from the game!

Re: Batman: Arkham City - DC Direct - Series 1 action figures

that face sculpt is spot on. but the joker's face just lost too much of what made the Arkham Asylum version so sick.

No I havn't got one yet. Decided to save my money. ive got the major ones I want which is Zsasz and all the Batman's. Will pick up scarecrow and ivy somewhere down the line, but i bet they release another Bane figure, and Joker, im not too fussed about, same with Harley.

Re: Batman: Arkham City - DC Direct - Series 1 action figures

I'm really hoping they release another Bane too under the deluxe line. I do like the one we have already though, and I wouldn't be bothered if they never remade him, but a newer, deluxe version of him would be preffered now DCD are producing other large deluxe figures.

Re: Batman: Arkham City - DC Direct - Series 1 action figures

i just look closely at the batman again, seems his left 'ears' is bend.. hope not all figures r like tat though.

Me too, preferably in a normal standing up pose. he should be abit shorter than Croc, but twice as wide.

EXCITING.

Re: Batman: Arkham City - DC Direct - Series 1 action figures

So, the rest of the line-up for Wave 3 has now officially been revealed!
Batman (regular suit), Penguin, Ras Al Ghul, Azrael, Clown Thug.
5 figures again. Awesome stuff! Can't believe they're doing a generic thug too.... that's unheard of from DCD to do a no-name character. They're really not messing around with this line. Bring on waves 4 and 5!

 

[CultofSkaro]

Re: Batman: Arkham City - DC Direct - Series 1 action figures

Oh, where did you read that?

Kinda disappointed, mind. Clown Thug? I wanted Strange, Deadshot and Two-Face....

As long as we EVENTUALLY get them I'll be happy, though.

Oh, here's a pic.

Re: Batman: Arkham City - DC Direct - Series 1 action figures

I wouldn't be too worried about them making the other major characters from the game. The fact that they've made the Clown Thug says to me that they're spreading out the major rogues so I'd bet that we'll get at least 2 more waves.
I'm actually hoping they'll do another generic thug in another wave. Perhaps a Penguin thug in the armoured/combat gear.
