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

Urban Collector took down their pre orders. It looks like a no go...

wow bane is going for $160-$300 any official word from urban collector about the re-release of series 1 and 2?

Hm, see I'd say it's not as strong as wave 2. All the characters in the wave are a bit grey and bland. I mean, I'm buying all of them lol, but there's no Riddler or Mad Hatter to 'brighten up' the wave.

I'm not even sure what I mean tbh. There's just not much colour in this wave WHICH OBVIOUSLY MEANS ITS TERRIBLE lol.

Are we seeing the same wave? The Joker thugs are very colorful, Azreal has some nice red, and Ra's some nice green.

Hope nobody tried to cash in on their Bane figures then!!

It did seem a bit odd to me that DCD would do another production run on the AA figures. It's very unusual for them to do straight-up re-releases of waves as it is let alone a third production run.
If these are 100% not happening then it still gives me hope for a deluxe Bane in the future anyway.....

But they're overall quite grey compared to previous waves. There's no bright Riddler or Robin or Ivy or Joker to add some colour to the wave is all.

Thanks SFA for finding that pic of Ra's. I really like him. Didn't notice his tattoo on his arm before the close up. I really like how DC do get these figures right. The pay close attention to detail most times. (yes BM I know they have forgotten Riddlers glasses IMO I think they will add them in the end.

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

Yeah I agree, they've been good at paying close attention to details on these figures so far. They're the best DCD has ever made IMO and definitely the best Batman line to be collecting right now.
I'm pretty sure they'll add Riddler's glasses in production too. Guess we'll find out for sure within a few weeks or so!

For those of you who pre ordered the AC Deluxe figs, where did you order them from? Any recommendations?

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

Not DCD but had to get this because it's Nightwing and she followed.

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

Is the Wave 3 Batman figure actually much different from the original AA one? I never really liked the AA figure that much because he seemed too blue, and I thought the AC version would be much darker, but it looks about the same. HM.

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

AFAIK there's been no actual pics of the wave 3 batman yet, even the one I posted a few pages back I think is the original :

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

The series 3 Arkham City is colored just like the infected batman, except with the cowl on and same sculpt as the original one. Plus series 3 has a closed fist, compared to the original one... both hands were open.

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

Yeah, the series 3 Batman figure shown at ToyFair is definitely the finished figure. You can clearly see it uses the AC series 1 Batman body and a repainted AA series 1 Batman head/cape.

Not too bothered about the re-use of those parts myself since it does basically give us a correct coloured regular AC Batman. I think he looks great. Only question now is what accessory they'll give him.... so far we've had: Regular Batarang, Batclaw, Cryptographic Sequencer & the upcoming R.E.C. gun. So that means we could get one of: Sonic Batarang, Remote Batarang, Freeze Blast, Line Launcher, Disruptor/Mine detonator, Explosive Gel gun.

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

id say freeze grenade with the clenched fist would look good. or the line launcher on a sideways pose.

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

I cant wait to get The Riddler.

 

[sfa]

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

^ Me too. Can't wait to see some packaged pics to find the answer to that all important question.... will he or won't he have his glasses? I'm still hopefull he'll have them!

 

[Fernandofan08]

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

Same. Hope he has Glasses! Cant imagine they wouldnt. If they make the batarang fold up and the cryptographer opens, surely glasses aint alot to ask for!

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

I came across this site from the guy who sculpted some of these pieces. has pics of unpainted proto's https://hardingstudios.blogspot.ca/

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

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

That guys awesome, thanks for the link.

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

It's cool seeing those protos unpainted like that

Apparently there's going to be an unveiling of 2 Arkham City related products at PAX tonight. They specifically stated they would be physical products and not DLC etc.

Edit: The news was tweeted by a high-end collectible company called Tri-Force so I'm presuming it will be their products.
