Re: DC Collectibles doing Batman The Animated Series figures!!!!!
It's not even that Phantasm Batman is bad. I think he's better than single card Batman. Unfortunately single card Batman came first and was initially supposed the version that ended up with Phantasm. Which PO'd me because by the time I found out it was kind of too late to cancel my single.
If they had released Phantasm Batman as a single and the other one had never existed it would have been much cooler to see the classic suit included with Phantasm in the 2-pack although they both could have been released as singles. If it had been planned out right all that they really needed to do was new tooling for his wrist and belt. They could have probably gotten away with using the same cape and head although new versions of both would've been better. Unfortunately since the Batlogo was sculpted on his chest it couldn't have been removed as easily. But if they had just painted it on in the first place... Still it makes a nice detail on the figure(s) we did get.
For a "whako," you make some good points.
For myself, I don't need more than one of each character but as sometimes necessary evils, I do appreciate some variety. The Phantasm Batman was pretty subtle. I'd have preferred the classic costume shown in the film with that pairing.
