Re: DC Collectibles doing Batman The Animated Series figures!!!!!
Yeah I got it on clearance too but forgot where. I think was at walmart during the holidays.
I actually prefer BTAS intro without Superman.
I even got all the BTAS and TNBA original figures MOC, excluding variants. Scored them cheap on ebay over a decade ago. Got it cheaper than the going price of Combat Belt Batman alone. Thats why took me this long to finally decide to get them all now, I thought the original would suffice but seeing all these pictures posted I "Bat-caved" in.
Same I have all the DVDs sets. Got them all at a steal when Circuit City and Crown Books went out of business in their clearance sales.
But why bother keep shuffling discs into my blu ray player when I can just sit back and relax with the Fire TV. Too bad there was no HD but good enough on prime, streams excellent on my other devices as well
The sound is phenomenal, even better than when it was Fox and the WB
The Superman and TNAB intro was classic!

Re: DC Collectibles doing Batman The Animated Series figures!!!!!
Are you kidding, the whole pet peeve I grew up with was I tried my best to recreate the action figure as closet to the actual show or cartoon, comic look possible. I despised a toy looking like a toy.
Which is probably why I decided to take up customizing, it irked me that I couldn't get the perfect look for a figure so I decided to try it myself. Believe me it surprised me that I was actually able to pull it off with many of my toys growing up.
I really can relate to your logic. You should've seen me with Gundam models. Boy, I racked my brain out trying to make it look like the actual source robot as possible when I had to realize when it came to model kits, it's best to make it the way you wanted it as opposed to the actual character. That's what's fun about building models, That didn't set well with me. To this day I still have to make it as 90% accurate or it will drive me nuts.
My problem growing up is exactly what TOY STORY and TOY SOLDIERS portrayed. I wanted these figures to come to life.
Now I collect because if I can get something to pose and display in my hands then it entertains me from the source point and when it comes to HT and 12" figures the more it looks accurate the more I like when I'm watching the show, movie, cartoon etc. the source then seems interesting again.
Even if the film is horrible, I'll like the character if I have an accurate action figure of him or her displayed
Especially now as an adult spending numerous amounts of my hard earned money..it better be source accurate or it's unacceptable.

I was messing around with my figures earlier, and discovered that Joker can hold Two-Face's Tommy gun fairly decently.

Re: DC Collectibles doing Batman The Animated Series figures!!!!!
HAHAHAHA Exactly my life!
I would paint my figures all over, because I wanted them to be exactly the way I'd see them on TV.
The Kenner Tommy Lee Jones Two-Face, anyone? LMAO I think I painted him completely. He came with brown hair, without the glove etc. LMAOOO
Not to mention the TAS figures, of course... My first Penguin, Two Face etc... All repainted by me.
Man, what about the ladies' legs? I couldn't stand them not having "normal" legs. LMAOOOOOOOOOO
My life is exactly Toy Story... Only that I couldn't even get rid of the old toys like Andy did.
They are all there, safe in the storage.

Re: DC Collectibles doing Batman The Animated Series figures!!!!!
I think you're being very generous with the use of "blows the new one out of the water." I feel like Kenner really captured the essence of the TAS Batman with their sculpt, and I'll concede that, however crude it may be (I can be forgiving, as, like you said, it has been over twenty years), it is superior, in that respect, but I think there's more to the "aesthetics department" than just the sculpt, and I can safely say that the DCC Batman is superior in every other respect. I don't mind the sculpt, but I would like to see them revisit the design with another version closer to Kenner's. It'd be awesome if they revised their Phantasm Two-Pack to include one, as opposed to the smiling head they seemed to be doing.

Great shot!
By the way, have you tried putting TNBA Bats' cape on TAS Bats?

Re: DC Collectibles doing Batman The Animated Series figures!!!!!
The rarerity of DCC is exactly what is in their name. These lines are made for the adult collector in mind. These figures will never be mass produced. It was never intended for kids so although we see a lot of these lines still hanging around, they won't be forever. Their intent is once they're gone..they're gone.
So we as collectors, better jump on these quick nostalgic lines because they won't be coming back in the same form. If anyone that has any interest , don't wait.
Unfortunately for myself I have too much invested in numerous lines, so my funds are spread to the point.where I have to " Pick and Choose " what I collect now and as such, I simply have to miss out on some of these figure lines.
Not by choice. If I could I would get every TAS figure to date they released.
But I can't. Same with Figuarts, Figma, ML, BS, etc.

Re: DC Collectibles doing Batman The Animated Series figures!!!!!
I got it
I really hope he can stand better without the stand unlike the TNAB because stands annoy me. Makes figures look more like toys when in a neutral pose

Re: DC Collectibles doing Batman The Animated Series figures!!!!!
Agreed. Off the top of my head I can think of: various guns & playing cards for Joker, extra capes for BTAS Batman (draped & action), plants for Ivy, Bud & Lou (the hyenas), and I'm sure there's so much more they could do too. I might suggest that in their next q&a if they do another.

Re: DC Collectibles doing Batman The Animated Series figures!!!!!
I guess ( in case you haven't seen my other posts of action figure poses all over various Freak threads in this entire forum site ) that's why I try to go all out with displaying the figures. IMO it's not worth the time and effort on my part, nor anyone checking out my pics to just take a pic of a figure standing in place, especially if it's made for articulation and detail.
I literally try to make it come to life in my photos if I could and for myself and others viewing my posts. To me that's the reward of sharing my thoughts about the figure or figures to all that visit these threads. Whether they like it or not.
So far I never got negative comments
My only downfall is the lack of backgrounds and scenery I used, unfortunately I had to cut costs someway and that was how so I try to make up for it with lighting and photoshop effects.

Re: DC Collectibles doing Batman The Animated Series figures!!!!!
I know what you mean, I've been collecting DCC for a while now. I used to buy the inner case sets at my LCS. Now I have to pick and choose as well. Hot Toys, Sideshow, Play Arts, Figuarts, Marvel Legends, Transformers and the list goes on.
On the flip side my Manbat was just shipped out! Just ordered it last night, that was quick.

Re: DC Collectibles doing Batman The Animated Series figures!!!!!
It really sucks and is a pain to do this right sometimes, I also want to collect the ARROW and FLASH figures as well, but they're not high priority on my must haves list right now, so I have to wait.
I really want to get the PAK Vader, but I am not paying these outrageous prices I've been seeing.
The issue is with this hobby, if you wait, you can easily lose
I have my confirmation that my two bats are on the way quickly, should have at least one of them in a day or two, but dammit I feel like driving around trying to hunt these at my LCS, knowing I could be wasting gas because my LCS are unreliable when it comes to getting these.
But I hate that I'm impatient
especially when I keep streaming the various episodes of my choice on Amazon Instant video

Re: DC Collectibles doing Batman The Animated Series figures!!!!!
Hahaha, yup I know what you mean. I got all the Arrow and Flash TV series to date. And I'm gonna get the Gotham ones as well lol
Yeak I regret not getting the PAK Vader, I don't own any other Star Wars PAK so I can live without it. But I still need AK Robin.
I'm the type to usually wait till I can get it with discounts. Like all the Batman PAK I didn't pay retail on those. The only one I paid for retail was Deathstroke.
Don't get me started on the Marvel Collectors Corp subscription, I wanna jump on the Star Wars and DC ones too

Re: DC Collectibles doing Batman The Animated Series figures!!!!!
Oh it's aggravating me right now especially with the new Flash season starting up again. I know I can easily just drive to my Barnes and Noble and get the Flash and Arrow figures. Because they are just sitting there for weeks but I only have enough of a budget for the rest of this month for these two bats, the bat mobile if it releases this month and possibly the HT Vader if it releases this month.
Otherwise my other funds are tied down for the rest of Oct..TO LIFE
