The DCD head is just goofy looking in comparison.

Re: Batman: Arkham City - DC Direct - Series 1 action figures

From the pics I've seen, Mattel's Robin is actually better than DCD's.

I saw the Mattel Robin and left it on the shelf. I didn't think it looked very good. Not close to as good as the DCD version ... which looked higher quality with a better paint job, and I think a better likeness. The Mattel version was also pretty scrawny looking.

Actually, the only Mattel figure I think looks good enough to fit in with the DCD figures is the Two Face ... it fits in perfectly. I have the Mattel Batman as well, and it doesn't look as good as either the AA ro the AC Batman. The infected Joker looked pretty terrible in comparison to the DCD exclusive, as well.

Got Harley today from my LCS. Love it and definitely glad to of picked her up since I missed out on the AA version. Was going to get Robin but I really don't like the way it looks. He looks so short and stocky. The detail and paint are great but im going to pick up the Legacy 2 pack b/c I like the look of that Robin better. If he doesn't come with the staff I got some 3/32 dowels made of metal I can use. I saw infected Bruce and that looked really good and was very tempting but at the 22.99 they were charging, Harley was all I could get for now.

Hmmm, I still need to see the Mattel version in hand. Just a few hours ago I picked up the set of 3 for $51. In pictures I really wasn't too interested in the virus Batman, but he looks good inhand. I could see that this would be hot if it was a comic con exclusive. As for Robin, he looks good to but depends on the head position the eyes can look lazy. And Harley doesn't impress me as the first but still a nice figure.

Can't wait for the series 2, I already special ordered it at my LCS.

Re: Batman: Arkham City - DC Direct - Series 1 action figures

That does look amazing sfa!

That is a really slick looking setup. Where's the building from?

What are you using? As in where are the city parts from? They look really great!

That is amazing and I really want to see part 2. How did you make the diorama? It's incredible. That being said, what becomes of the alternates? AA Joker, Harley, Unmasked, Armored, and BD Batman? Really want to see you incorporate Bane, but I can see how that'd prove... troublesome.lol

Thanks everyone
It's taken me a good while to make but I'm really pleased with the results - shows off all the Arkham figures nicely.
The only original parts are:
The rooftop (from the Mattel Young Justice Red Arrow figure)
The pavements (from various DCD figures)
The ivy (from the DCD Hush Posion Ivy figure)
The rest is all custom built by me using strong card and decals created in photoshop.

@ batfan08 - Part 2 isn't finished enough to show pics yet, but I will do as soon as I get enough done to it. It will be very similar to the first part though so they look like the same city. I'm planning on having Bane in that part plus space for Croc and the rest of the upcoming figures.
All the variant figures like AA Joker, Harley & all the Batmans now get relegated to my storage cupboard

AC ending spoilers, I know it's been out a while but still....

You could always keep your Joker out as a Clayface version....

Re: Batman: Arkham City - DC Direct - Series 1 action figures

^ I did actually have them stood together for a while with that in mind, but I'm hoping that DCD will make a figure of him eventually.
He was actually a major character in the game so it seems quite likely we'll get one of him.

Re: Batman: Arkham City - DC Direct - Series 1 action figures

That'd be a helluva an exclusive, Clayface Joker mid-transformation, I do want to see Rabbit Batman from his Mad Hatter encounter.

Re: Batman: Arkham City - DC Direct - Series 1 action figures

DCD loves cheap variants. It wouldn't surprise me if we got Mad Hatter Batman as the SDCC exclusive or something. Or perhaps Battle Damaged again?

Re: Batman: Arkham City - DC Direct - Series 1 action figures

Well I saw the Mattel Robin at Target and I like the colors, the hood and the head sculpt, but it just looks too toyish vs how the DCD figs look. Then I thought the fisted hand had a hole in it to possibly add a staff to but nope.

What would you guys say who have him? Would say say he's worth the $22.99 my LCS is charging for these figs?

Yes he's worth it, tho I didn't spend that much for it. I wouldn't take the chance if you will want him later incase he's HTF. But I still would buy it for that price.

Thought I'd try out Bane in my diorama - fits better than I expected

^ Thanks darkknight!
Going to start work on the finishing touches for it tomorrow.

Re: Batman: Arkham City - DC Direct - Series 1 action figures

Amazing set up Sfa! Wish I had the space to have something like that! Bane looks to fit in pretty well in there.

Awesome thanks for the feedback man!

My extra figures on the wall

Re: Batman: Arkham City - DC Direct - Series 1 action figures

Holy crap, I can't believe the prices that some of these figures are going for right now. Glad I ordered them when I did. Still don't have the Excl. Batman, but not interested in paying the prices it goes for now.

Re: Batman: Arkham City - DC Direct - Series 1 action figures

The more I look at Robin the more Im liking the design. Who ever is thinking about getting it or not, "GET it! Before you'll REGRET it!"

That's the only one I don't have. From the pictures I've seen ... the damage didn't look all that impressive. Just a mark here or there isn't enough damage for me to go out of my way to get one. Still hoping they do a heavily battle damaged AC version, though.
