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

I'm waiting for the Phantasm 2 pack head. I bet it's the best one, unless they change it.

Yeah, the ears kinda suck. Too thick. They needed to be a bit flatter and curve back, maybe even longer, but I like the length.

Will the Joker be an updated version with better joints, etc? Or just a reissue?

We don't have such info yet, but I doubt it.

His joints are already the new better ones. I suppose it's simply a reissue and the very same figure.

Thanks, do you know which figures had the bad joints before they fixed it?

Yes - TNBA Batman, Two-Face and Mr. Freeze + TAS Catwoman.


I was lucky, because my Catwoman never broke, and I constantly change her pose and hands etc.

Look

I do like the rendering, however the cape doesn't seem to blend the intensity and darkness with the Hasbro sculpt looks a little toyish

I'm beginning to see why they left the mouth unpainted because the tone of the DCC HS is more flesh , giving it a more realistic menacing look.

Again that's how I view it

Thank you. That's so true.

I also think Irene Matar captured the essence and likeness of Batman very well.

If she tops that with the upcoming Phantasm 2-pack Batman, it will be amazing, of course!

I'll happily have 2 Batmen, as you never have enough Batman figures anyway.

If the upcoming 2-pack one is the best, I can simply use the first one in the Batmobile or paint some battle scars/blood on him.

Now that I look at it, it's the left. I notice the eyes look bigger

They are both the two-pack one.

Only that the image on your left is the current one used on most online stores.
It's the latest image DCC provided.

None of them will be the best until they give him two capes

If you don't like it don't buy it.

There is no way they're going to give you a copy of the prototype figure's head, just because you don't like how it turned out.

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

in looking at mine now inhand it does look like there is space around eyes in mold that isnt painted, could paint them bigger i think. hard but not impossible cuz it appears sculpt would allow it etc

nice ball joint on head if you work it can look up nicely.

I think you should wait for the Batman and Catwoman reissues in December/ January. Two-Face and Freeze I've had no issues with, and I order all of my figures through amazon. The joints on both were a little stiff when I got them, but slowly working them loosened them up.

Thanks for the info, Manbat is on its way. I'll order Joker and maybe Robin for now.

When will Freeze and Two Face being reissued?

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

Is it possible that since this Batman has the sort of angry head, that the 2-Pack might have the neutral head? Excellent figure by the way. Now bring on Bruce Wayne!

Batman does seem to have the angry head of the 2-pack.

I don't know how much of an impact my August e-mail to DCC had, but it does look like they put the 2-pack head on the solo Batman and might be doing a new one that "looks more like the Kenner toy" for the upcoming Phantasm 2-pack.

They told me that "if the Kenner toy is so popular, we might be doing one in the future that looks like the Kenner one".

So, anything is possible now.

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

if your buying in person make sure the pins in knees go all the way thru, didnt notice at time was too busy making sure the bat symbol was good but on my right leg the pin didnt go all the way thru making a gap when knee bends which is kinda awkward. his right hip is stiff as well.
