Looks alright. I liked the Croc a lot, and I figure this'll be similar.
Still, way too expensive, and not crucial enough. I have no need for a Titan Joker. I'm aiming to get a solid rogues gallery from the Arkham figures -- and Titan Joker is a variant of a rogue, not an actual rogue.
Looking forward to Ras and Penguin, though. May get the S3 Batman. Still on the fence about Azrael, and I need to go back and get a couple of the Series 2 guys ... mainly Hush, Catwoman and Riddler.

He looks alright in this pic actually.
A bit smaller than I expected, though.

Depending on where you buy him, yeah. In or around $70. $60 if you're lucky. To be honest, the shredded bits of suit on his arms looks like a nice touch.

I was surprised that my card was charged this morning for the AC series 3 frim BBTS. Didn't expect it. So is Titan Joker worth the $60?

THAT looks much better in the picture.

Re: Batman: Arkham City - DC Direct - Series 1 action figures
considering the v1 joker now goes for around $40-50usd on ebay, I say for $70 the titan joker is a steal
agreed

Re: Batman: Arkham City - DC Direct - Series 1 action figures
Got my Series 3 figures today, all excellent. Some Ras figures have dodgy eyes and oddly mishapen 'stretched' heads, but mine seems perfect. Azrael is also very nice, as is the new Batman. Penguin rocks - the cigar has notches in it so he can hold it pretty securely, and I just love the character design. The paintwork of scarring on the monocle and neck thing is a bit bad though - it makes them both look like birthmarks rather than bloody scars. The expression could be more neutral, and he could have some elbow articulation, but overall he's definitely one of my favourite figures of the line.
That said, there's still a feeling of cheapness. Comparing the original Arkham Asylum Batman to the new AA one, the skin tone of the old one is quite realistic and mucky, whilst the new one is a bit flawless and pale and toy-like. Also, his cape is a fraction too long - you have to leave a bit of space behind him to accomodate it. Still, I struggle to complain that majorly because I love this line. Since all my Wave 3 figures are good quality in terms of paintjobs etc I might take some pics, as existing ones people have uploaded aren't too flattering, particularly Ras. Oh, also, the arm joints (and maybe others) are now made of metal, visible in their armpits, presumably to prevent breakages like Croc, so that's good.
Just gotta weigh up whether to get Titan Joker now.

You are in too deep to not get the Titan joker. I say go for it. Before he reaches bane price.
Pics please

Re: Batman: Arkham City - DC Direct - Series 1 action figures
You raise a good point about his price going up. I think he might be one of those figures I really need to own before knowing if I want him, you know? I'll get him, then decide whether to keep him or sell him on.
I'll try get some pics of my wave 3 figures up tomorrow.

He's already at Bane prices But yeah, grab the deluxe figures before reach a Bane-equivalent to their price on the secondary market.

Re: Batman: Arkham City - DC Direct - Series 1 action figures
Yeah, he was at $70 just a few months ago. He was like $15 originally. So Titan Joker would have to be like $700 to reach an equivalent price

Re: Batman: Arkham City - DC Direct - Series 1 action figures
I doubt he'll reach at $700 though prolly $200ish at best for this type of figures.

I know, I'm just saying that if he was to gain in price like Bane, then 10x his original retail is that much!

Re: Batman: Arkham City - DC Direct - Series 1 action figures
Got my series 3 figures in today too!
Love them all, especially Penguin and the thugs. Ras is great too, no problems with the head on mine. Azreal is impressively detailed and Batman looks great. Nice to finally have a regular version of him, and another gadget too.
I have Titan Joker on pre-order and hopefully he should be delivered this week, if not early next week.
Here's a few pics of the new figures:
