SFA, that Arkham dio is too nice for you not to make a little addition for a few pics. I really want to see your interpretation of...

Ra's impaled on the "A"

Thanks batfan! Yeah I'm still working on that piece of the dio actually. It's curved in the game so it's proving to be a bit difficult to make without looking tacky. I'd love to be able to do that scene you described in figure form too but not sure if it would be sturdy enough to hold a figure... would look very cool though!

thanks James!

For those first few pics I thought the diorama had gone for some reason. Excellent pics as always, sfa, and saves me the trouble of taking any as well.

I still need to work out a display for these figures. They're all stood on a small and pretty much full shelf. Need some tiered stands and such to make it all look nice. I'm also thinking I need Titan Joker as a centrepiece to the collection.

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

Thanks CultofSkaro! I actually took all the figures off the dio for it's monthly dusting in those first pics I don't think there's any way I'd ever get rid of it. Unless someone offered me £1million for it haha!

Yeah I think you should really get Titan Joker, even if you just keep him boxed for a while until you decide if you like him enough or not. The pic of him on the previous page doesn't really give a good sense of his height, there's a video on youtube that shows how tall he is next to Batman and he looks huge!

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

one of my local comic shops that had them previous figures listed at 19.99 now has the new series 3 listed at 22.99. still have to go check the other places to see if there was a price hike.

Hrm, this quote:

What is going on with the Arkham City Action Figure line?
So much that we can hardly wait to talk about it!

I THINK THIS IS PRETTY MUCH CONFIRMATION THAT THE LINE IS ENDING.

lolol.

FIRST PIC OF WAVE 4.

OMG.

But seriously, that quote makes me think we might get more than a couple more waves.

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

Best news so far. Although the veil is pretty much a crappy teaser like what EB have given us all year long

Surprised to see there's no deluxe 'tall' figures judging from the veil so far.

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

Got the Batman, Ras, Penguin and Hush (Wave 2, I know) today. All four are pretty good. I still think I prefer the unmasked Batman to this one -- I'm a sucker for unmasked Batman figures, for some reason. Hush is fantastic ... lots better than the original 'Hush' version. Penguin looks good -- wish there was a way to get the cigar into his mouth though. One of the three Ras's at my LCS had a wonky head, though.

Skipped the two thugs and Azrael, for now. I figure they'll be peg-warmers anyway. Might go back and get Azrael eventually. Still need a Catwoman and Riddler from Wave 2, though ... and I'd get them over Azrael. I don't really have any need for the thugs ... looking for a rogues gallery, here. Also don't have a Hatter yet.

SFA -- where'd you get the glasses for Riddler?

Fantastic news! Glad to hear my fears will soon be put to rest

My figures shipped from CSC today so I'll have them Friday. Saw them behind the counter at my LCS today though. But they want full MSRP so I never get figures from them.

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

I also saw a Ra's with squished head also. still need a white thug. also got a titan joker, strange only 1 of the three LCS got him in. cost 63.99 plus taxes.

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

SFA your dio still amazes me every time I see it. I cant stop looking at it. Not sure how you will fit more in though Yeah where did you find the riddler glasses? They really do finish him off. Thanks for sharing your dio.

U should get Azrael ASAP, bro. I got mine last night at my LCS and cost more than the rest of the wave. At some shops at least. That's cuz he's short packed and most sought after. Just look at the details they put into him. Pure awesomeness!!

It's good to hear that he is great in hand. I was impressed by some of the pictures posted but was unsure if he would be as good in hand. Thanks for the review Viper.

I am not sure that he is short packed, my friend at Things From Another World said that DC Direct is no longer selling these as cases, so they can charge more for each individual figure. They were charging more for Azreal because he is a more popular character and people will pay the extra $$$. They were charging $24.99 for each figure, so I got Azreal, Batman and Penguin, I have the Joker Thugs and Ra's on hold. I really wasn't impressed with Ra's, he looks cartoony and bulky, but I will still get him cause I am a completist whore.
