I didn't either, I would have loved to see him play a larger role. He does in the Catwoman DLC but I'd rather be Batman. He ends up taking control of all of Penguin's area so if you're playing the rest of the game afterwards it's obvious Two Face's gang is controlling most of Arkham City, But I know what you mean, they could have worked him in there a little more. I don't think Two Face would exist yet in Origins, but if Joker does, he could too. Hopefully he'll be in the 4th Rocksteady game and we'll get a figure then.I never liked how little Two-Face had to do in City anyway. I hope he returns in Origins (I'm not sure). And yes the developers have explicitly said they took a few notes from Nolan for this Bane (the chest guard is the most immediate thing I can spot). My thing is more that I loved what Hardy did with the voice, and also that beast of a Mask itself. It's so iconic to me, yet didn't reach full potential in TDKR because of Nolan's strict approach for those films. But it also means he's not Cuban anymore, which I guess kills diversity. However, can't help but be of the opinion I like Hardy's cold british demeanour much more. If only they'd work that mask into Bane's design, that mask is so monstrous.
And yeah Harley's outfit has blue and red cross-mixed on her limbs, but the figure had the blue arm and leg on one side and red arm/leg on the other. Just keep her arms underneath the blowdryer until it becomes really bendable and you can just pop 'm off and switch 'm.
No problem. Boiling does help, especially with the shoulders. My elbows are still tight but as long as you don't just try to bend it without holding onto the arm you'll be fine.
40? I thought it was 30?

He's one of my favourite Arkham figures, just wish he was less fragile.

If so the guy who got mine for me at the con lost money... Feel kinda bad now.
Hugo did come however. Overall, I think he's a really good figure. Not spectacular, but he's above average. As for articulation, double ball jointed neck, ball hinged shoulders, very limited ball hinged elbows that do swivel sideways, waist swivel, swivel hips, hinged knees, and probably double ball jointed ankles, they just don't have too much of an area to move around. The syringe is nice, the scalpel isn't really. Flat little piece of plastic. Plus since they tape it in it's gets tape residue on it.
Hugo's lips are really dark though, like the Series 4 Batman. Also his glasses are black, not silver, but it doesn't bother me. His elbows don't bend much unfortunately so you can't have his hands together in front of him.
The Arkham logo is nice, as is the ID badge. The little Hugo picture is decent and if you can see the tiny little letters it obviously says "Warden Hugo Strange" with another smaller Arkham logo.
He definitely stands out among the other Arkham figures. I'll be taking some pictures once the batteries charge.
Heh heh, was about to say DC Collectibles really overcharged...
ahh thanks for the info. guess i'll be watching the bay--would really like to snag him for around $45 shipped. i was hoping bbts would have some leftovers.
I'm currently waiting for my Hugo Strange figure to arrive from the USA. Can't wait to get him!!
Having said that though, it's really annoying that DCC decided to make him the SDCC exclusive. Surely they know how much of an important character he is. So not only do we have to pay above normal prices for him initially, but those of us overseas have to pay high shipping costs aswell to get him.....
on getting 'em though! i can't wait either
Hopefully you post a bunch.
I'm saying any major Comic Con, SD, NY or otherwise. Still DCC are wise enough to know how much we want certain figures, such as making Hugo Strange as a con exclusive, even though it is slightly dickish of them
. They enough we still want to finish the AC line, thusly I think we're not done with AC line just yet.
