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

It's where rednecks and hoodrats trample over/beat up other people for half priced, cheap junk, the day after giving thanks for the things they have. One of our more barbaric celebrations lol

:lol so bassakwards. me and the girl call it "the purge" :lol

Oooh man! He looks so awesome! I still don't like that extra arm on the right. Looks like someone pinched off a poop lol

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

what is black friday? sounds bad :/
It's a huge sale day that most of the retail stores in the US participate in. It's always the day after Thanksgiving but in recent years it's even started as early as Thanksgiving evening. All designed to get people to spend a ton at the stores for Christmas gifts. But yeah, rednecks and hood-rats and yada-yada. It's supposed to be fun but it just has a way of turning into huge mess. People fighting over items at the store or just fighting each other just to get in the store first. Workers and customers both getting literally trampled to death when they let the crowds come in. "Sounds bad"? Yes, it certainly can be.
 
Re: DC Collectibles doing Batman The Animated Series figures!!!!!

I attempted Black Friday once many years ago,I went to a TRU,after circling the parking lot for 20 - 30 minutes,I found a spot,when I walked in the register lines reached all the way to the back of the store and you could barely walk due to the multitude of people,NEVER AGAIN!

Sounds "funny"
I bet I can be happy we don't have such a tradition in Germany
 
Re: DC Collectibles doing Batman The Animated Series figures!!!!!

It's official guys- the big cape in the expressions set is gone. I just received the reply from Kevin Kiniry:

"The only time we showed the big outstretch cape was in a catalog shot I believe early on. It was way too expensive and so when we solicited the item in the Diamond Previews catalog, the cape was removed. There are still 3 capes total- 1 standard, 1 cloth, 1 plastic with a little bit of flow to it for some drama.

Hope that clears it up for you!"

That's unfortunate. :( They really should've cut one or two of the heads and the cloth cape to make room for the big cape instead.

Thats me out then. That was all I really wanted. I want to want the Bruce Wayne unmasked head but it looks poor at this stage.

I am a big fan of accessory packs and want to support the idea but this one is now really lacking to the point where I cannot really justify it.

Thanks for the info! I had my LCS mark me down for one a while back, when we thought it still had that cape. Hit them up and had it taken off my order list. How disappointing. How expensive could a damn cape be? When it was initially solicited it had that cape and a $40 srp. Now no cape and $50srp? It isn't worth what we're getting. 5 new heads, a double of a cloth cape for those who get the signal, bent cape and 3rd/4th Batman. So 5 new heads and 1 new cape for $50? Lol
 
Re: DC Collectibles doing Batman The Animated Series figures!!!!!

Probably would've made more sense to eliminate the Batman figure from the "accessories" pack so they could afford to include more accessories...
I'm out... (And I've collected everything in this line up to this point)

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

Typically when somebody from a toy company says something was too expensive for them to do, they're talking about a tooling cost issue, so a Batman figure they've already made and are re-releasing multiple times really wouldn't factor in all that much.

Good point.

Bummer. I'll be skipping that pack for sure now, the cape was the only thing in it I really wanted lol.

Maybe they will release the cape on it's own later on.

If they do, I'm sure they'll pack it into an expensive set full of items we already have, forcing anyone who wants it to spend more money on duplicate shi t.

Regardless, I wonder if it's still going to have the other random accessories in the set

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

Phantasm,

What is up with the loose grapple gun?.........and no sculpted hand in which to hold it?

(unless they give us a bat cave dio/playset and an empty weapons rack to put it on....)

Yea, I have no clue what those are about lol. We've gotten 2 or 3 of those now. I love your idea of having a rack of gadgets though! If we get one of those, I say bring on the **** accessories to hang! lol

I'd especially like the little display cases with all the suits inside!
