ToyFair 07: DCD 13" Figures!

[Jase]

So far they've shown another Batman (LOVE the classic costume!):

And a change to the Nightwing head:

I will be very happy to add BOTH to my DCD 13" lineup!

Not bad!I do dig the classic Batman outfit!!!

I wonder why DC went with this odd 13'' scale...I know there's people who gripe about the .2 inch difference between Medicom's and Sideshow's figures but I've been getting more impressed by DC Direct's large scale figures but I'm turned off by the taller-than-necessary scale.

Not sure why they did but I display the DC 13" line by themselves so it doesn't matter to me. LOVE THIS LINE!

The Classic Batman will accompany the Classic Superman well...I'm wondering if the "Classic" Components will follow some of the other modern looks...The Nightwing mask looks removable now....Still don't like it. Might order the Classic Superman and eventually nab the Classic Bats...

I'll definitely get the Classic Batman. Nightwing comes with both a blue and black mask.

Classic Batman looks worth getting, if the belt and boots look better.

The boots do look a little weird. I think they made changes to the first Batman, didn't they? I know they made his cape longer.

I can't wait to see some actual pics from Toy Fair.

Well both Batman and Nightwing are posed poorly in the above pics IMO. I have faith that the boots will be great since they have been on all of the released figures to date.

I wonder why DC went with this odd 13'' scale...

supposidly it was alex ross' idea. his theory was that most 12 inch action figures have huge heads. his solution was not to have the head made smaller(in scale), but to make the body huge.

 

[EVILFACE]

Well then he just needs to stick to painting.

 

[TheObsoleteMan]

That Batman is rad. Superfriends nostalgia will likely compel me to get him.

The Batman looks a little dumpy? Is this a different body, or maybe just an odd shot? I definitely like the classic look of this version.

Yea, he kinda does. This is obviously supposed to be the Neal Adams style Batman from the 70's, who in my opinion is the definitive Batman. But the large hulking body doesn't quite fit the athletic build that Adams gives him.

THAT BATMAN IS GREAT!!!!

More crying about size eh? Who cares, 13" are fine for these. I mean I don't display ALL my toys in 1 place so they don't need to match, it's not like I've gotta match em' up and make sure they coordinate like a wardrobe. I love the Classic Bats, moreso than the regular one. I just wish we'd get West Batman!

looks like dennis o'neil and neal adam's batman.. loooks pretty cool!

 

[screamingmetal]

Classic Batman looks great, I wish I bought the first one though, I prefer the all black costume.
The Nightwing figure doesn't look any better then before. His head is still too small.

 

[Darklord Dave]

I was okay with the previous Nightwing, but this one looks better. Although the removeable mask looks bulky. They did it perfectly with GL, so hopefully it will improve before release.

I like this alternative Batman too - it does look more Superfriends than Neal Adams, but it's a good companion to the more modern Rossian one they've already done.

13" BATGIRL!

 

[EVILFACE]

Very nice.

Man, I wish these were 1/6
