Re: DC Collectibles doing Batman The Animated Series figures!!!!!

Batman is exactly 6.25" (the figure anyway) you're right.

The thing I hate is how they made Nightwing 5.75", but they made/are going to make BTAS Robin 5.25". It's the same dude right?

Yes Nightwing is **** Grayson,

Re: DC Collectibles doing Batman The Animated Series figures!!!!!

I don't think so. If you look closely at the pic you posted, his legs are spread wider apart, so, in that pose, he should look shorter. Same goes for Batman. His knees are bent and it almost looks like his legs are barely off the ground. Honestly, my most wanted Bane figure from this line is still the suited version from TAS. I always thought the purple tights under the black leotard looked kind of ridiculous, but, for some reason, the luchador in a suit and fedora look just...worked.

I prefer that look, but I can totally understand anyone finding it silly. If theres one problem I had with Timm and the show, its him acting like a baby when they told him he had to use Bane. And thus, designing him to look silly like. I felt it was obvious he never read much of Knightfall, but made up his mind based on Bane's mask. Seems like he came around on the character when TNBA started though. But I think a mix of both looks would have been better, or something like Bane's appearance in Young Justice.

Batman is still widely available everywhere. I don't know where you been looking, but he's not sold out.

My bad, all the shops I've been to tab out a while ago, I'll be clearer in future.

Isn't night wing and older Grayson, so him being taller makes sense

Except it wasn't like that in the show. Robin and Nightwing were both in college. The difference is, Robin was in the middle of his college career and Nightwing had just graduated. So unless Grayson had a growth spurt during his 20s, they should be the same height.

I think it will become more clear once BTAS Robin is out, but if the catalogs and specs are true, Robin will be the shortest figure in the line (not counting Baby Doll). He'll be shorter than Catwoman, Harley and even TNBA Ivy (who was dramatically smaller and made more petite). So Grayson may even be a tad shorter or the same height as Tim Drake Robin.

That's just not right in my opinion, even if the style guide originally skewed his proportions. BTAS Robin was originally going to be a kid, until they changed him into an adult so Batman could go and be solo in most of the episodes while having Robin come in occasionally while he was on his holiday breaks from College.

Re: DC Collectibles doing Batman The Animated Series figures!!!!!

So I did some research...and by research I mean, Wikipedia. Anyway, Grayson was 10 years old when his parents were killed and Bruce adopted him. Not long after his parents death, Bruce began to train him and later on he allows him to become his partner, Robin. This is the key part,

" Robin apparently worked with Batman consistently well into his college years. Thereafter, he became Batman's semi-regular partner continuing to work with Batman on a limited basis but, also dividing his time between crime fighting and college."

"9 years after his parents death, Tony Zucco resurfaced in Gotham City, putting Robin to the test. Batman forbade Robin from going after him." At this point he is 19 years of age.

So what all that means is, Grayson was still a young kid when he became Robin. They don't give his age, but the fact the "he worked consistently well into his college years" means he was a kid initially, maybe 14 years old...maybe less, when he became Robin? Depending on how long it took for Bruce to train him, since his training began at age 10. So lets say, 4 years of training, which makes him 14 when he becomes Robin.

It's possible that this figure is based on the early Robin, not the part time Robin at age 19. By the time he becomes Nightwing, he had graduated, which means he's at least 22...maybe more, if he was a part time student. So Nightwing should be taller at age 22 than an early Robin at age 14, and maybe a bit taller than age 19 Robin. Either way, Nightwing is a lot shorter than Batman for some reason.

So are Batman and Bane 6.25"?
Yeah, out of scale..

Re: DC Collectibles doing Batman The Animated Series figures!!!!!

Jim Fletcher talks about how they've been brainstorming everything from other vehicles to play sets.

I'd love to see the Batcomputer with chair eventually. It could feature some light-up screens with various villians pictured on the displays.

Who knows, I would have never predicted a Batmobile from this series so a Batcave/computer isn't entirely out of the realm of possibility.

I would absolutely love to get the Batcomputer for this line. If DCC made that, my jaw would literally drop to the floor. The Batcomputer is almost as iconic as the BTAS Batmobile in my eyes.

I hope that it's ("play sets") a real possibility from DCC and not just fleeting brainstorming ideas. The Batcomputer at least doesn't seem like it would be too much of a stretch to produce considering something like the Batmobile. A little on the large side possibly, maybe around 18 inches tall going off the production drawing, but it's a simple design.

It'd be nice if Nightwing's height was an indicator that they made Robin taller. I'm not counting on it, but, nevertheless, it'd be a pleasant surprise.

Re: DC Collectibles doing Batman The Animated Series figures!!!!!

I know a few pages back, we were talking about a Charlie Brown business suit Bruce Wayne figure. But if DC Collectibles is going off of the original character models, then wouldn't Bruce look like this?

Re: DC Collectibles doing Batman The Animated Series figures!!!!!

Judging by the way they made Joker's shirt tucked in to his pants (as in the show) instead of the two pointed ends hanging out (as in the original models) they may be leaning towards the TV show look

Re: DC Collectibles doing Batman The Animated Series figures!!!!!

So, does anyone know if Series 2 with just Robin, Joker, and Man-Bat will be sold as a set on DCBService.com or did I miss the pre-order for the revised 3 figure set?

Re: DC Collectibles doing Batman The Animated Series figures!!!!!

Man-Bat looks absolutely incredible. They will be mine!!!!!

Re: DC Collectibles doing Batman The Animated Series figures!!!!!

SonOfHeMan Where did you find those?! Are they at comic shops already?

 

[batfan08]

Re: DC Collectibles doing Batman The Animated Series figures!!!!!

I, too, am wondering that.

Re: DC Collectibles doing Batman The Animated Series figures!!!!!

Awesome!! Man-Bat looks great with those spread open wings. And SO happy the hip holes have gone!!

 

[batfan08]

Re: DC Collectibles doing Batman The Animated Series figures!!!!!

I cannot wait to own that Man-Bat, and the fact that he's the same price as everyone else; he seems like a steal for what could've easily been a deluxe figure.
