I may scoop up the Blue Beetle(s), against my better judgement and finances.

I think it USED to be black many years ago, and I agree, his cape ought to be black.

DCD's released 6 Batman Figs with black capes:
  • "Signature Series" Batman (which was a repaint of Hush Bats). It looked pretty cool, but only hardcore collectors'll shell out $200 for a black Batman fig and 2 resin prototypes.
  • The two figs based on Turner's Art ("Identity Crisis" Bats and "The Supergirl from Krypton" Batman.) Both figures were hideous.

  • "Public Enemies" Batman. Ed McGuinness' artwork didn't translate well to plastic, as this figure looks so cartoonish it can almost be called Playskool Batman. The lack of posability and short cape didn't help either.

  • The Batman that was part of last year's JLA gift set. Looked like Adam West. Disappointing.

  • Alex Ross' "Justice" Batman, which has the most detailed sculpt of the bunch. It even comes with a foldable Batarang that can be stored in Batman's Utility belt! But the 7 inch scale is too tall for the (normally) 6 inch scale DCD figs.


Still, I see where you're comin from Rob. It'd be nice to have a well-sculpted, black-caped Batman figure that's in scale with all the others.

I'm not really interested in those, except maybe that Superman one in the background. But I am very tempted to get these.

The star-covered Troia, bitch-whipped Batman, and Warlord figures are all top notch. Now, let's see if the level of detail transfers to the actual figures sold in stores...

Excellent point, Pro. DCD's been kind of hit-or-miss with their figure quality over the past year or so (Crooked S's on Superman figs... ). It'll be interesting to see how these hold up.

Yeah. My only beef is when they show this superbly lit, intricate detail on figures......and then when you get them, they're subpar, conveyor-belt-made sticks of plastic. The CRISIS figures were like this.

And WHAT THE FUCK is with some of these DC Direct nowadays being smaller? It's kind of annoying to have various figures seem like teenagers compared to the regular ones...

Batman, Supes and Donna (both renditions) look sweet. WTF happened to J'onn? He looks a little skrull-ish to me...



Dear, sweet Harley Kwink...I'm madly in love with you. Marry me! We can go to Canadia. Or Boston or something. It'll be grand...You know the cookies are a given. They are ALWAYS a given. You could dump me tomorrow and you'd still get the cookies. Boston..shit, wherever dyke weddings were legalized. And where better to rub their little piggie noses in how bad they suck than right on their doorstep? What are they gonna do? Be jealous of you? Stare furiously at your tah-tahs? Not willingly give you cookies, but instead begrudgingly give you their cookies? Woman, time to wake up to the powers you wield - Uschi

Size was always an issue!
It never made sense why the Kid Flash figure was taller than some of the adult figures, especially when Wally was said to be shorter than Barry Allen when he replaced him as Flash!

a serious question for brian.


as a homosexual does your commuity accept you for your passion for action figures, or does it make you a outsider. please try to answer this as ungayly as possible, so us non-gay people can understand you being gay.

Granted, it's Adam West in a modern Batman costume, but there's still a resemblance.

Thanks! I wanted to buy that Aquaman figure and put its head on the modern Aquaman figure (which is another great fig of Aquaman, but lacks the beard that makes him appear regal).

In any case, time to make another collector happy:

You have no idea! I saw the sculpts based on Jimenez' Wonder Woman and Donna a couple weeks back and was extatic for them.

Like has already been said in here though, I do hope the end product ends up looking as nice...unlike the past several Diana's I've picked up.
