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

I'm still debating if I want to widen the eyes.. The squinted intensity is growing on me




I know this was cheesy, but I had to try

very cool! I like.

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

The head on the new Batman is somewhat off to me....I dont know how to explain it

agreed. IMO the eyes are too far apart and as some mentioned not big enough. i know it varied in show but feel like if they made the eyes closer and bigger it would be alot better.

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

By the way, when I see your avatar, I instantly remember of my 2002 Toy Biz Norman Osborn figure from the movie.
What an awesome figure. That armchair with the mask feature, though.

Ops, now someone will jump in and say the Norman figure sucks, just because.

That 2002 movie line and the 2004 Spider-Man 2 movie line were fantastic. These were my favorite figures.

- Superposeable Spider-Man
- Superposeable Green Goblin
- J Jonah Jameson
- Battle Ravaged Spider-Man (so much detail and paintwork on a 6 dollar action figure)
- Norman Osborn (that talking mask was awesome)
- Peter Parker (great likeness and cool props like the chess pieces)
- Wrestler Spider-Man

- Superposeable Spider-Man
- Doc Ock (SP) with tentacle action
- Web Trap Spider-Man
- Magnetic Spider-Man
- Scooter Peter Parker/Spider-Man


Great figures. The sculpts, articulation and bases/accessories were perfect. Still have them all.

Yeah those lines still are incredible. Amazing considering the junk Hasbro churns out in 2015 and parents swallow whole.

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

I was 7 when those came out and I only ever got Spider-Man with the gargoyle. I still have it minus a bit of paint on his butt.

Better than these DCC animated figures too when you take in the aesthetics, articulation, paintwork and value. Take the SP Spider-Man w/gargoyle base or SP Green Goblin with glider for instance. The paint work, sculpts and articulation are better than any mass produced modern figure out there today. Pretty much zero slop in terms of paint work. They had great applications, the eyes to the silver web lines to the metallic green armor and purple on the glider. All for a 6 dollar figure.

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

Batmon85, it's the very same figure.

Only that the prototype has the mouth painted and the eyes painted wider.

It is exactly. the. same.

Now I ask you what you asked illproxy: why can't you just see it?

I rest my case!

Top: guyver1's figure. Bottom: your "beloved" prototype.

WGB! I agree same head just the eye have more paint to make them bigger and the mouth area is painted, where as the production figure is unpainted.
Some people just can\t see it that way! It's the same old thing someone has to be a negative Nancy.
I'm happy the way he is.

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

I LOVED that Spider-Man line! My God!

Was like 10 or 11 when I got most of 'em all. I remember being happy because they made Mary Jane - such a rare case when the company made the female character.
I loved that she had underwear with the vagi*** kinda sculpted. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

I agree with most of what you said, but the paint aplication was inconsistent. And I must say: very typical from Toy Biz.
While they used to nail the sculpt, the paint could kill it, if you got the wrong one.
As I said, I was like 11 when the figures were released, and as much as I would go to the store to pick 'em personally, my parents sometimes would gift them to me.
It was the case of my Spider-Man with the gargoyle - they bought it for my birthday.
As you know, the web lines on his suit are sculpted and painted. Unfortunately, I got one with the paint app off on most of the body, specially on his fingers and torso.
As a whole, I loved him, but I would nitpick over it sometimes.

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

Yeah, I would check through them. Most were well done though. I don't recall any of their Spider-Man movie or LOTR lines being as breakable or poorly painted as their early X-Men movie toys. My brother got those and I remember the quality was horrible. Some of them even had cheap rubber faces.

I wasn't online in 2001 or 2002 so I didn't know about the LOTR or Spider-Man movie lines. I got that info through Toy Fare magazine. I had the Spider-Man Classics super articulated comic red and blue Spidey and the black symbiote version. You know, the line that kicked off the whole Marvel Legends concepts. I never saw anything like those before. Then one day in Febuary I walked into Walmart and saw that same 6" figure style but for the, at the time, new movie Spider-Man suit and I was wowed. The figure and gargoyle base was awesome. Had that gargoyle on the wall of my office for years.

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

Messing around with some effects..Woah I just had a Kenner 12"-15" flashback with this shot

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

Great, great shot!

So true, bro! Thought the same thing!

This figure is so great!

Can't believe I still have to wait a week to get him.
