I'm glad I got an order in for the blue n' black before Mezco sold out. But I admit I did it mostly cause I always fall for the hype about "exclusives" and it's cool to have all the accessories in one package. And god, what gorgeous packaging these toys have.
But now that some people are posting pics on the Fwoosh I have to agree with my first impressions....the black costume and symbol is still the best. It's the defining look for the character.
Yellow oval will be awesome too, but that only represented his coming out of retirement. He wanted to feel young again. It was "fun." And then the Mutant Leader gave him an ass-whooping that reminded him he really had become an old man.
So he stops fighting like a young man and starts fighting like a SMART man. The black costume comes out. He thoroughly defeats the Mutant Leader and inherits his entire army of soldiers. The Dark Knight Returns......Triumphant. Damn, that's still the best comic book of all time.
Man, I have waited almost 20 years for these toys and now it's just a few weeks to go. I am gonna have my the oval one with his rifle and leg pouch aiming at the Gotham Tower. I'm thinking of digging the DCD Carrie Kelley Robin out of storage too. Along with the street lamp base. And the ugly Joker doll.
What about DCD Joker and Superman? Think they'll look good together or will the styles just be too obviously inferior to Batman? I think Robin will do cause she's so small and a glorified accessory really...but I don't know.
Eagerly awaiting your THOROUGH review Sallah!!!
And please give us a static shot of Mezco Batman next to the full DCD DKR line-up, if possible...thanks!!
