Has anyone else been pulling up the hi-res shots of this figure, looking at it in amazement? I mean, what, three days now and it's still really exciting to me. I just can't get over it. Seemed like yesterday when the chance of this line was slim and it was all a pipe dream.
I know many people feel like this should come with more for the price tag but, to me, this feels like a complete, definitive package. I can't even think of things that it should come with. Yeah, yeah, Indy comes with an idol, Luke a weather vane, some have had cardboard dioramas but with this, the main attraction is the figure itself. I don't think there's one thing in this set where I think, "oh, that's staying in the box". It all has a purpose and there's no clunky, unnecessary extras.
It has this presence to it.There's just something about it, something that clicks. The accessories are top notch, the sculpts are top notch and I'm really impressed with that cape.
I can't even think of the last time I've felt this way about collecting. The Terminators were great and so were other things but this week has just done for me in terms of the hobby. It almost feels like the early TDK days in 2008 when all we had was the great OC TDK, original V1 Joker and Tumbler (the TDK Batman and Batpod came later). Now we have this great trio from a new era as well.
Needless to say, I'm pumped. The only unfortunate thing about these is the fact that that little kid that dreamed of things of this caliber never really got to appreciate or witness it.
