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

Any idea when the next wave with the TAS Batman is hitting retail? May or June or after Comic Con?

What's the next wave left...Poison Ivy and Harley Quinn

The wait is

Then, we have this:

June - Harley Quinn (TAS) [wave 3], Poison Ivy (TNBA) [wave 2] and Robin (TNBA) [wave 3]

July - Wave 4: Batman (TAS), Penguin (TAS), Riddler (TAS) and Batgirl (TNBA)

October - Wave 5: Mad Hatter (TAS), Nightwing (TNBA), Scarecrow (TNBA) and Bane (TNBA)
+ Batmobile (TAS)

Beautiful collection, sfa! Congrats!

They do look awesome together; I can't stop staring at mine here in my home. lol

Gonna post some photos of mine in the following days.

^ Thanks!

Yeah they do look great together, especially now Robin & Joker add some much needed colour!

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

Nice photos sfa! They do look great together! (Still bothered by Robin's height though :/)

 

[sfa]

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

Thanks Zelu!

Unfortunately Robin's size is even more noticeable when he's stood close to other figures. But that's his only flaw. Otherwise he's amazing! Hope you manage to get him soon, I'm sure you'll love him despite his short-ness

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

Yes, Robin is a tad smaller than Catwoman and the Joker...

But that doesn't bother me at all, since he's amazingly dead on. I think he's my favorite figure so far (next to the Joker).


Speaking of our favorite clown, I recommend displaying him from the right side, since it's his best angle.

I can't believe it. Went into my LCS to grab Man-Bat, and discovered that he was having another 50% off sale for Free Comic Book Day. I don't know how he does it, but he makes it work. I wound up walking out with Man-Bat, Robin, and Creeper for $12.50 a pop.

Why did he put a spoiler on this? I already seen a ton of pics and youtube videos of series 2

I've seen people do this to save space in the thread.

Btw great pics sfa, I really love the middle pose for joker it really fit his personally well.

 

[sfa]

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

^ Thanks BatGuardian! That's the pose I currently have him in. I was trying out a few hand/arm gesture poses since I'm not really fond of any of his accessories. I think he looks great like that though so it's all good

LOL! Yes, BatGuardian is right.

I did this to save space in the thread and also not to repeat the images.

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

Finally I got Robin today! He looks fantastic from the belt up but I can't stand how small his legs are! Not just too short but also not bulky enough! They are thinner than his arms ( This is very disappointing...

This is good news, I just need TAS Batman and im done with this line as im gonna be receiving my joker in a day or two.

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

I wish we could find out more about how they'll go about releasing the improved Wave 1 figures. The other thing I'm curious about is that, in their recent catalogue, it seemed like the figures that would be part of their "essentials" line were TAS Catwoman, TNBA Batman, TAS Joker, and TAS Robin. I really hope that doesn't mean that we're going to be stuck with "holey" TNBA Freeze and Two-Face.

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

Just received joker.

In hand, the paint in the teeth ain't that bad, but it's not good either. I tried popping up the head and see if I could repainted it or maybe even modify the sculpt. I'd give it a 6 out of 10 overall.

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

I know Robin's legs were bothering more than it should but it motivated me to make him a new ones

Here are the results, what do you guys think?









I still need to add another coat of paint but apart from that he is finished

 

[sfa]

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

Hey, awesome job making him taller Zelu! He definitely should've been the same height as Catwoman.

 

[zelu1984]

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

Thanks sfa! I checked the reference photos from Batgirl Returns episode and he is just tiny bit shorter than Selina. When i cut the legs I was like what a hell have I done but it turned out better than expected

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

I'm sure everyone knows by now how I feel about the stands for these so I decided to do away with them.

I replaced them with some basic black stands, and I think they look so much better now! Plus, the figures are much sturdier now than they were on the original stands. They also don't take up as much space now which was my main gripe.
