DC Superheros

[SpiderHulkThing]

So what are you thoughts on the new DC Superheros stuff? For one, i'm thinking why are they looking so dang tall. Maybe they just blew them up to show off. But they are coming along nice. I really like that Steel fig.

Also, it seems that wave 4 won't be the same as it was going to be. It was supposed to be Stealth Batman, Joker, Two-face, and Batgirl.

So I guess they want to do Batman Wave, Superman Wave, BB Wave, S Wave and so on. So maybe the original series 4 will really be series 5 and the original series 5 will be series 6 so they're won't be two Batman waves released back to back. I for one, definitly want Joker and Two-Face.

[FEAR THE BAT]

I for one am liking what I see. The new Supergirl is fabulous.

[SpiderHulkThing]

i just wonder when joker and two-face are coming out. Yeah, i want that supergirl too, but i don't want both to be displayed on the same shelf. Although, the supergirl i have now likes to fall a lot. maybe this one will be more sturdy.

[SpiderHulkThing]

Do you think mongoul, parasite, etc are just blown up past their normal sizes? I mean, Icon sized Mr. Freeze is stupid.

[FEAR THE BAT]

The new one will be the Supergirl I keep. The current one (released in the second wave of the DCSH figures) will become fodder, most likely the new head for Emma Frost. Maybe.

[SpiderHulkThing]

and i hope someone at SDCC asked when BAF DC stuff would start showing up and i hope that the question was answered.

[SpiderHulkThing]

sounds like a good idea. The face and hair for the new one looks better.

[FEAR THE BAT]

Do you think mongoul, parasite, etc are just blown up past their normal sizes? I mean, Icon sized Mr. Freeze is stupid.

They are 2-ups prototypes. They usually always do that to show off what they got coming. They both look great. And the new Batman (with his many batarangs) looks great. I'll probably get 3 of just that Batman.

[SpiderHulkThing]

Mr. Freeze looks awesome. Did you notice the fog/specs of something in his mask. sweet detail. i hope that stays.

[SpiderHulkThing]

yeah, i like all the weapons and stuff. one of his hands looks closed though. But with just one of those batmans, you'd have some nice weapons to share with other batman figs you may have. Although, some of those batman weapons i'm not sure about. Like the one in the top right corner. wtf is that.

[SpiderHulkThing]

and i hope this batman doesn't hunch like the other one did.

[FEAR THE BAT]

Mr. Freeze looks awesome. Did you notice the fog/specs of something in his mask. sweet detail. i hope that stays.

I think the first Mattel Batman: Mr Freeze figure had those specs aswell. This one is just a repaint.

[FEAR THE BAT]

and i hope this batman doesn't hunch like the other one did.

Nah, I think they'll do better. Look at it, its f***in' awesome. I'm really liking the way they reimagined the utility belt. Its look very cool.

[Saint553]

They are 2-ups prototypes. They usually always do that to show off what they got coming. They both look great. And the new Batman (with his many batarangs) looks great. I'll probably get 3 of just that Batman.


Back in 2004 I saw the 2-up prototypes and Wizard World Chicago for a good chunk of the DCSH figures coming out currently. 2 friggin years at least for this things to come out! MLs usually only take 6 months or so I think...

But FTB, don't forget, an amazing Batman figure is only a part swap/paint job away. Get one of this new batman, check 'em out. I still get a feeling I may need to swap some stuff. I have suspicions that we'll be let down on this one. Maybe I'll get to see it at Wizard World Chicago though, Mattel always has huge display cases up.

[SpiderHulkThing]

i want a black and grey batman like the one from the animated series.

[SpiderHulkThing]

go look at my other thread for possible hasbro series 2 ML news...

[FEAR THE BAT]

Cool. Be sure and give us the lowdown bro.

And in the back of my mind I know we can be given crap, but just looking at it I have high hopes for it. Maybe, just maybe, they can get it right.

[Ben Urich]

Catwoman and Supergirl look great. So do Steel and the new Batman. I just have no interest in this line at all. I'm fine with the Superman and Batman stuff I display already (Silver Age DCD figures). If I had more room, I'd start a Modern Age display, but I don't. :(
The only DCSH figure I'd seriously consider buying would be Harley Quinn. It might be a few years, though.

[regwec]

The new Batman is v.good, but the paint is dreadful. A simple adjustment to make.

In general, and even with the limitations that were set on Mattel's mandate, these blow everything DCD is doing away.

[batman7289]

the toys are okay

[Vandal Savage]

Someone just got the New Batman and Mr Freeze. Wow they look great. Mattel finally did Batman right:

http://i51.photobucket.com/albums/f386/spiderdood90/7f3b5e84.jpg

He comes with 7 Batarrangs too...

[regwec]

That is pretty cool. I still think that this Batman will work better with crisper, cleaner, and more contrasting colours, though.

[ReTrO JuNkIe 42]

when did they come out ? they look good

[regwec]

The more i look at it, the more I like it. The sculpting on the head and the belt is inspired. I need three. I suppose I might have preferred three less batarangs in return for a grapple, but I won't gripe. That's easily the best 6" Batman ever.

[SpiderHulkThing]

Oh man, I can't wait to get these. Where did your friend get these?

I wish I had a batman and Mr. Freeze to fight on my porch :(.

[SpiderHulkThing]

I like how this batman isn't hunching over like the one from series 1.

[Cyclops]

That Mongul is awesome looking, but I hope he doesn't end up quite that big. You know, if the rumors of him as the BAF turn out to be true.

[Archangel]

That belt make's Batman's legs look rediculously out of proportion. Which sucks because he's a fantastic figure otherwise. :(

[regwec]

I disagree- he looks absolutely fine to me.

[Cyclops]

I LOVE that Batman. And I'm not a huge Batman fan, but Mattel's really impressing me with their work on this line.

[regwec]

You can see why DCD decided to cheat Mattel out of the license for the broader DC universe- Mattel is producing better sculpts, better articulation and more reliable paintwork and scale for much less cost.

[Cyclops]

They are. I just don't understand why DCD would want to limit it. DCD fans will still buy DCD no matter what. Even if Mattel puts out a better product.

[regwec]

Well, DCD is haemorrhaging its existing fan base quite steadily, through poor quality control and scale. I will buy some of the upcoming JSA/Blue Beetle/Aquaman toys, because the sculpts are superb, but that's about it.

[Cyclops]

I got my Kilowog. DCD has all the money it'll get from me. :)

[Ben Urich]

If DCD would give their figures the articulation of that Superman figure from 2003, I'd probably buy a lot more of their figures. I'm only interested in the Alex Ross line, and those stay MIP in a box in my storage room. :o

http://www.fwooshnet.com/pics/albums/events/sdcc-2006/dcd/identitycrisis2/normal_DSC06693.jpg
They;ve figured out how to do an ab crunch. Let's see them include it in more figures.

[Vandal Savage]

They are. I just don't understand why DCD would want to limit it. DCD fans will still buy DCD no matter what. Even if Mattel puts out a better product.

I think once the features division puts out WW, Shazam and Flash films, Mattel will have licenses to make them in DCSH

[FEAR THE BAT]

I must have that Batman. 3. Must have 3. At the very least I want 3.

Damn he is awesome, but one is getting repainted black and gray almost immediately.

[SpiderHulkThing]

i hope i can find all of this line in stores.

[SpiderHulkThing]

hey bat, if your black/grey one turns out well, i might be knocking at your door.

[FEAR THE BAT]

Be prepared for a shotgun in your face then.

[FEAR THE BAT]

I don't like people to knock on my door.

I gotta doorbell for a reason DAMN IT!!

[Vandal Savage]

Haha FTB I missed your randomness.

[SpiderHulkThing]

i always wanted to have a shotgun in my face. I like to live dangerously. remember, i know where you live. maybe i'll ring the bell and hide behind some bushes. and i'll leave a batman fig at your doorstep.

do you remember the beavis and butthead episode, "ding dong ditch". what a great show.

[FEAR THE BAT]

While you're busy staring down the barrel of my shotgun my son will jump outta the bushes with his blades. He's a berserk lil sunavab****.

[FEAR THE BAT]

Haha FTB I missed your randomness.

Thanks.

And you must be...??

[Vandal Savage]

Crisis Superman/ Kane. We go back...

[FEAR THE BAT]

Why the name change???

[SpiderHulkThing]

While you're busy staring down the barrel of my shotgun my son will jump outta the bushes with his blades. He's a berserk lil sunavab****.

HAHA, you just called your wife a *****, i'm telling.

[FEAR THE BAT]

She won't believe you.

[Vandal Savage]

Why the name change???

Hmm...well I dissed an entire forum, constantly made the mods look like monkeys..etc

It was fun but meh, I like having multiple accounts with different IPs. I can do anything, say anything and dont have to worry about being banned. If they do, I just use another.

Rules suck.

[SpiderHulkThing]

i'll send her an email.

[FEAR THE BAT]

Heh, well, more power to ya then bro.

[Hal Jordan 8472]

Heh, well, more power to ya then bro.

See. Its fun.

My "Vandal Savage" account got banned for posting illegal SR pics ripped from my Bootleg.

Blah, so lame.

I need to start a new official account soon that I'll stick with, I just havent been able to think of a good name of late.

[FEAR THE BAT]

True. Very lame.

[Hal Jordan 8472]

I hope the actual version of that Supergirl looks as good as the prototype. The white shirt one wasnt too great.

The skin paint was way too tan and the face didnt come out right.

[FEAR THE BAT]

I hope so too. Thats a fantatic female fig for a 6inch mass market line.

[Hal Jordan 8472]

Remember my DCD collection? I decided instead of displaying the DCSH ones the same way....

I'm gonna set up a DC vs Marvel display using Marvel Legends and DCSH (same scale).

I already got Superman VS Hulk

Who should Batman, Robin, Supergirl, Mr Freeze, Bizzaro and Steel fight?

[FEAR THE BAT]

Batman - Iron Man
Robin - Spider-Man
Supergirl - female flyer like Ms Marvel or Storm
Mr Freeze - Pyro
Bizarro - Colossus
Steel - big villain like Abomination

[SsM]

man wtf... why does spider-man get stuck with robin... why cant he have nightwing :D

[FEAR THE BAT]

Because there's no Nightwing on your list. If so then Robin would be relegated to fighting off X23.

[Hal Jordan 8472]

What about Batman VS Daredevil? DD may be a metahuman but his enchanced senses are on par with Batman's strongly developed senses.

Do they have a toy of Ms Marvel for Supergirl?


I think Steel VS Iron Man may be a better match, armored titans....what do you think?

[FEAR THE BAT]

You know, Daredevil would be good for just had to hand combat with Batman. I like that, go with that bro.

[FEAR THE BAT]

Yes, Ms. Marvel was made in the Wal-Mart wave as Warbird, but she goes by Ms Marvel currently.

Steel vs Iron Man is definitely better now that Bats is up against DD.

[Hal Jordan 8472]

What about Emma Frost VS Supergirl? What are Em's powers? Doesnt she have diamond-hard skin and telepathy?

If so, Shes a match for Kara.

Is there an ML Emma Frost toy?

[FEAR THE BAT]

Not yet. It'll be out sometime late this year or early next year.

[Hal Jordan 8472]

Is there a pic of it?

[FEAR THE BAT]

Yeah, lemme find you a link to the new ML waves just announced.

[Hal Jordan 8472]

Nice :) Who should Azarel fight?

I'm on the fence whether Mr Freeze should fight Johnny the Torch or Iceman?

[FEAR THE BAT]

Hmm, may Torch.

Azrael could fight.....Punisher?? Or maybe someone with blades or swords. Taskmaster!!!

[Hal Jordan 8472]

Or Ghostrider?

[FEAR THE BAT]

I guess that'd be OK too.

[Hal Jordan 8472]

Any luck finding Emma pics?

[FEAR THE BAT]

Getting them right now.

Wrong link, here's the one to the new ML waves.

[FEAR THE BAT]

She's the one in white.

[Hal Jordan 8472]

Hmm not bad. Has the scale of ML remained constant?>

[Lynda Is HOT!]

???

[SpiderHulkThing]

yeah it will

[FEAR THE BAT]

Hmm not bad. Has the scale of ML remained constant?>

Pretty closely. Some characters should be bigger (like Wonder Man) but overall its great.

[Hollywoodland]

Wow the shh mods are so gay. Anyways..thanks for the info.

[FEAR THE BAT]

Later CSupes/Kane/whateveryanameis

[Hollywoodland]

Hopefully I get to stick with this one.

[FEAR THE BAT]

Lets hope so. ;)

[FEAR THE BAT]

Any new DC stuff added to your collection???

[Hollywoodland]

yup I updated it a while back; Lex, Brainiac, Darkseid, Earth 2 Superman, New Frontier Superman, Cyborg, Silver Age Batman and Robin, a 6.5" Mattel version of Routh's Superman that I altered slightly to fit with DCD...

And I got the Turner Supergirl but I pose it somewhere seperately...since the artstyle is way too different.

Thats about it thats new, I'm waiting for Guy Gardner this month to complete the GL 5.

[FEAR THE BAT]

Cool. You definitley need to post some new pics under a new collection thread for yourself.

[Hollywoodland]

Ya I did, I need to re-bump it.

A review for the new Batman figure:

http://comicbookbin.com/batmandcd003.html

[Saint553]

Love the figure, hate how they worked the crotch out. I think I'm going to get two of these, one to keep normal and one to mod.

[regwec]

Has anyone found Robin and Azrael yet? If so, how do they look? Is Robin a straight re-release, or has his articulation been improved?

[Archangel]

Ya I did, I need to re-bump it.

http://comicbookbin.com/batmandcd003.html


I don't know what it is about those pictures but damn, he looks way better there.

[Ben Urich]

That new Batman fig rocks, but the ab crunch makes him look like he has an hourglass figure.
I'll wait until I see him in person to really make a judgment, but right now it's looking like I'll be passing on this series.

[regwec]

Your loss! :)

[FEAR THE BAT]

I'm getting atleast three. Maybe I'll go crazy and get one to pose inconspicuosly in every room in my house. And one for my mom's house. And one for work. Oh my!!

[SpiderHulkThing]

and i thought i was strange....:)

[FEAR THE BAT]

.......:(

[SpiderHulkThing]

i'm just messing Bat. But there is one thing that i'm not messing around about Bat.

Tonight...Vote or Die...

[FEAR THE BAT]

I hate voting. I'm against it altogether.

[SpiderHulkThing]

you're really not gonna vote on my thread :(

[SpiderHulkThing]

i thought you had my back.

[FEAR THE BAT]

you're really not gonna vote on my thread :(

I will eventually its just I get caught up here at work doing this and that and I lose focus. If it slows down after midnight I'll see.

Either way, I can never be killed.

[FEAR THE BAT]

i thought you had my back.

I do.

(hides knife in pocket)

[SpiderHulkThing]

I will eventually its just I get caught up here at work doing this and that and I lose focus. If it slows down after midnight I'll see.

Either way, I can never be killed.

cool bro. whenever. i've got more voters to count up anyway. you can do what i do, whenever my girl talks about crap i dont care about, i just think of stupid nonsense things, so i can look like i'm thinking real hard like i'm paying attention and trying to be understanding. just think of your votes when your wife is talking to you sometime. that's probably the best time.

[SpiderHulkThing]

Robin has a cloth cape and is a re-release of an older robin figure with a darker paint job. cloth cape? I don't know how i feel about that.

[FEAR THE BAT]

What're you talking about?? The DCSH Robin??

[SpiderHulkThing]

um yeah. what other robin would i be talking about?

[SpiderHulkThing]

he's probably gonna have crappy articulation as well since he's just a re-release. Freeze is also a re-release, but he's had an articulation upgrade.

[FEAR THE BAT]

um yeah. what other robin would i be talking about?

Dunno, maybe a DCD I didn't know about.

[FEAR THE BAT]

he's probably gonna have crappy articulation as well since he's just a re-release. Freeze is also a re-release, but he's had an articulation upgrade.

If its an exact re-release of the same figure (of course he's repainted though) then yep, the articulation will be lacking.

[FEAR THE BAT]

Especialy since he didn't have articulated elbows

[SpiderHulkThing]

i know. i think it sucks too cause i really wanted a descent robin figure. this one will be ok, but still.

[regwec]

Hopefully Mattel will oneday give us an improved figure of Robin sporting his new costume.

[Cyclops]

When is this line supposed to hit stores? I've only seen the Superman wave in Wal-Marts, and everywhere else still has the straight-up rerelease Batman wave.

[regwec]

Already here in Britain, which compensates for the fact that the Superman wave only hit a couple of weeks ago.

[FEAR THE BAT]

Well, the last few days I've gone to a TRU, a couple Wal-Marts and a Target and didn't see any of the new DCSH Batman wave.

[SpiderHulkThing]

me either :( a few WMs have an *** load of series 2 left. so it might be awhile on my end.

[SsM]

one of my wm had like 15 of the series 3 robins..and some of the others

[SpiderHulkThing]

:( i want. I'm sure I'll see them sometime soon.

[SpiderHulkThing]

I guess you could pick me up Azreal for that HoM wolverine I gave you. I'd owe you like a buck though since the DC stuff is 9.99 and HoM was 8.99 at TRU.

[SpiderHulkThing]

oh btw, i found iron man and doc ock MFF figs. I can't find Mr. Fantastic though. I may have traded him already. I can't remember. I'll keep looking though.
