Good point, she's up on ebay as a factory reject now as well.

And a few more of everybody from Instagram:

I'd have been more on board with Talia color if it was a darker purple. That one group instagram photo doesn't look too bad though.

I knew it! I knew these were factory-rejected.

This Talia looks weird: not only are her forearms too long, but that thing on her right leg (that holds her gun) are not on the right place — it is supposed to be placed higher, hanging from her hip/belt.

Thank God these are not final.

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

Just got back from my hunt for Firefly and Anti Fire Batman. I say hunt because the paint apps were so bad I had to go to multiple shops just to find a decent enough one of each. Saw about 16 of each figure and managed to find one acceptable one of each from those. Paint quality on these figures are the absolute worst of anything in the line so far. Even got a discount at one place because the guy saw how bad they all were. Really hope the next set of figs aren't like this. I almost came home empty handed

Considering her freakishly long arms it should be lower.

Sadly WGD these ones from Instagram are not rejects.... these are the final product released in Philippines... The ones from eBay even come with no accessories

Yeah sadly the long arms is not a factory reject issue like sloppy paint and badly glued parts.

Shame to hear that new figures are as badly painted as the ones shown last week too

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

I wish the Instagram poster had shots of the accessories - gloves instead of hands could make surgery on her forearms a lot easier.

Also keen to see the turnaround on the stand - where does the holster sit on there?

If they had done it the way the prototype had shown, like this:


I think it would have made it impossible for her right leg to bend at the hip. That's probably why it was changed.

Yea, I didn't expect the paint to be as bad as it is. All of the eyes on Firefly are off center and not symmetrical. Lots of bleeding around the strap areas and belt. The red for a lot of the eyes seemed a bit.. uhh.. transparent-ish. Like the red paint was watered down and didn't coat well. For Fire Suit Batman the whites of the eyes were very poorly done on most, uneven or lots of bleeding, same with the cuffs and chest symbol. With Batman though they almost all have these sort of greasy looking smears/spots on them. Like someone picked up the figures while they were eating Costco pizza lol

Only if connected to the belt. If it was only glued/sculpted to the thigh they could have gotten away without harming the articulation I reckon. Either way i am preparing for some disappointing figs - Firefly, Anti Fire Bats, Clayface (standard head) and Talia all seemingly have issues.

Firefly's red circles were never eyes, though, just light reflections at different places.

I agree. I still think this is why it changed. That being said, I think there were still better ways to solve the issue, such as, attaching the holster to the thigh. They just seem to make some odd choices sometimes when it comes to certain design aspects of these figures.

Thanks for posting those.

Having watched the videos, 3 things stood out -
1: The comparison between original Batman and AFS Batman makes it look like AFS Batman lost 25 pounds to fit in the suit lol.
2: AFS Batman's arms seem kind of long to me like Talia's. I mean, look at his right arm at about the 3:50 mark.
3: Firefly should have come with that flaming light saber too.

Firefly absolutely should have come with the the flaming saber/sword.

Overall I think both are pretty dull looking figures....not the toy lines fault as they both are faithful to the episode. Will I own them-a resounding yes but I do not see them becoming favorites of mine.

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

Just got them.

Wow. That was a minefield trying to good paint apps. All the belt pouches were terrible and i think I'll be getting out the paints. Should have been separate sculpts.

Interesting comparisons to Talia... prototype Firefly had interchangeable gloves, production has hands only. Guessing Talia will be the same potentially explaining the monkey arms.

Firefly has a holster at the top of his thigh. No issues.

One last thing... the instructions feature Clayface with an on-model head. A line drawing of mind you.
