^^I thought that would be an awesome deluxe pack too. Honestly though, now that I've seen how pitifully tiny the signal and Clayface came out, I think this pack would be a bad idea.
This is my wishlist, I think don't need more.

And today I received the new figures: Bullock, Ventriloquist and Talia. I Love these three, but the Ventriloquist is so good, I wanted him for a long time.

Hey, guys! It took me some time to talk about my new figures because I was first working on Talia.
As I mentioned before buying her, what I found I had to do was cutting her forearms shorter.
Somehow, they didn't notice that adding the glove part would make it longer.
So first, I poped the glove part off and mensured:

Make sure you cut it right above the glove.
I know the line I drew there is a tad higher, just ignore it. The right thing to do is to cut it right above the glove.
Then, glue it to the forearms and that's it!

She looks so much better. I also took the opportunity to paint the outside of her collar grey, as it's on the show.
Such a fantastic figure. I'm in love.
Ps.: no, we can't move the gun holster higher, because there's sort of a long pin on it that's attached to a long hole on her leg. So, you know what would happen...
Anyway, no big deal there.
Yeah my enthusiasm for the line is at an all time low for a couple reasons. One, as you mentioned, they have some issues they really need to work out. Issues like sculpt and scale that for some reason didnt seem prevalent when the line began. As much as I'd love two packs like that, at this point I'd be more concerned at how they would turn out, rather than excited for them being made. The Bruce Wayne head for ex. is amateur hour, and they really need to let whoever sculpted that go or assign them to work on something else as an apprentice.
The other part of my rant concerns DCC in general. The animated stuff isnt the only thing I buy from them, and once again many, many of their releases company wide (other figure lines, statues) have been delayed and are being released in the last 2 months of the year. I will never pre-order another DCC item again as I don't like the fact of having to pick up the tab of an entire year's worth of orders during the months of November and December of all times. This is what, the second or third year in a row? Unacceptable. Seems like their Movie line is dead and canceled aside from an Armored Batman and Superman that are going to sneak out, and I'm pretty much relieved over it.
This line was a dream come true for me, and I remember back a few years ago being excited at the possibility of Mattel even doing a one off Batman figure. Even with the issues DCC had in the beginning with wave 1, my enthusiasm wasn't effected at all. At this time though, I feel like I've started to move on.

Thank you, man!!!Looks perfect now! You did a great job.
Maybe one day I'll try it.
Wow, looks way better, congratulation!
I'ts ridicolous how they botched a simple anathomy part like forearms..
The figure should came out from the factory just like your one! With correct proportion and colors. The not painted collar is another proof of DCC lazyness.. -.-
Anyway, gonna follow this tutorial if one day I will buy this figure (not now at full-price), thanks!
So you have to glue the forearm and the hands back? No more articulation in the hands?
Thank you!!
Don't let minor issues like these hurt your experience with the line. Talia, in particular, is an amazing figure. Her sculpt is perfect.
I see painting fix-ups as minor issues. I mean, her collar... how minor is that? Took me 15 minutes tops. Same with Penguin's monocle... MINOR. 5 minutes painting it.
And her arms... I have to say that until I read someone here poiting out they were "longer" than should be, I had never noticed it. I showed her to my parents and they didn't even notice it.
That's an easy fix-up too.
You should focus on what's right, not what's wrong. Just my opinion.
We've gotten perfect figures in the BTAS side of the line. Not to mention the vehicles.
Awesome stuff World'sGreatestDetective! I was planning to do the same to my Talia when I get her. Looks so much better ^_^
