Re: DC Collectibles doing Batman The Animated Series figures!!!!!
I'm believe he was actually in Arkham at the end of "Heart of Ice." Some of the writers didn't seem totally sure where all the villains belonged in the early episodes: Ivy is put in Stonegate at the end of "Pretty Poison," and I think even Killer Croc might have even been in both places, too, and he's not mentally ill, either. As far as the boxset goes, just tell yourself they were all just arrested and those are holding cells. Or throw out the box.
That's right. Just checked "Heart of Ice" and he was taken to Arkham at the end, later being in Stonegate, in "Deep Freeze".
Indeed. I've noticed that, too. Maybe they also just simply wanted the villians to be in the classic Arkham? I mean, to the general people, "where do all Batman villians go? To Arkham".
Anyway, LMAO!! At that price, I don't think I can dare throwing out that box...
It does man! That **** wouldn't look good with any of our displays! Plus what if the box is damaged before arriving to our LCS or homes? Or will it be a box in a box? If so we couldn't be able to see the figs before opening. Just an overall weird idea. I would have way rather had Nora and a Cryo tank or Ivy's plant from the movie Teeth
Yea those 4 are definite musts. Freeze and Ivy especially, but I love em all. They would never be able to even try that laughable price with B listers. I would rage if that **** happened lmao. Yea I can imagine being upset if you only want one or two of these. I want them all, but that box man... it's a ****ing box! Who puts lights in a cardboard box?! I'm looking forward to the inevitable hilarious video of Kevin or the other guy (forgot his name) hyping up all of the boxes "awesome functionality and play aspects" lmao. While it's all half ripped and taped together and broken like all their proto **** lolol
Yea I don't know about Bane. If we didn't already have Penguin and Joker, and they added Two Face, this would have worked way better as an "Almost Got 'Im" set
I hope they scrap the stupid thing period and just release them all single. Maybe there will be negative response at toyfair and they'll say forget it
Haha I was so sick for the past week I thought I was going to be lol. Forshoo man
The eventual video!!!
They will worship the box even if the one they're handling in the video is broken. LMFAO
Trying to hype up this release.
Indeed 100%, man! Worst idea ever this boxset, seriously. From start to finish.
I so hope the backlash at ToyFair is so massive, the following week they cancel this set and announce all five individually, with a new, fixed proto image of Ivy.
Actually, at this point, what concerns me the most is Ivy, rather than the box itself. I pray several people at ToyFair criticizes her in front of Kevin and Jim (the other guy). I'd rather get her fixed in this set than the way the proto is now individually, honestly.
Oh, man... I so wanted the Nora Snow Globe.
Not as essential as Freeze's gun, but a sweet accessory.
He's usually housed in Arkham due to Arkham's ability to house super villains with special physical needs. In this case, Freeze's need for a cell to be at sub zero temperatures. A normal prison isn't equipped for that, but apparently Arkham is. I don't know if every cell is adaptable or if they just build cells specifically for each 'patient.' I think you could argue Freeze is mentally ill like a mad scientist. He's not cuckoo like Joker, but a guy running around freezing people isn't entirely in his right mind either. Its just makes things tidier to have all of Batman's rouges in one place.
DCC has never seemed to quite grasp the idea of box sets to me. They either make you buy 4 old figures again to get 1 exclusive one (Arkham Bruce Wayne) or they over charge what you would have paid for the figures separately (this new BTAS set). Every figure is new, so that is out of the norm for a box set. I don't know why they'd think we'd want fancy packaging with lights and crap. We can't display the rest of the line in the box like this so why would we want ONE thing like that? We've just going to open them! At least DCBS will have a good price on the set.
Great point, man! I missed that.
Indeed, Arkham is better equipped for criminals like Freeze and Croc. I'd say Croc's physical condition is what makes him be housed in Arkham? The need for water etc...
Not as severe as Freeze's need, but still a need.
I see your point but I still wouldn't call him mad or anything similar... When people loose everything, like Victor, they do crazy things. They simply cross the line imposed by society because they've gotten nothing left to loose. And, in Victor's case, he's also driven by revange. Very similar to Harvey/Two-Face in TDK.
Ain't that the truth??? That box is totally useless. What could go with that box, in order to have sort of a display? Nothing! Displaying only 5 characters next to or inside it will break the pattern of any existing display. UGH
