Thank you very much It's one of those things you think that would have gotten, but never did during the run of the DCUC line.
LOL... I was going to go with the standard tie look for him as well until I saw the other custom Lex on this body. To me the turtleneck really helps make him look more like a pompous ass |

I used a Harvey Dent body for my Lex in business suit, but I'd love to get some regular hands.

Open hands are hard to come but in DC classics. I would use Kamandi, Constantine, Star man, Mirror Master or, Toyman hands. I cheaped out on my custom and just painted over black masks hands until I can replace them. I really need to finish that custom :-(

Well that is what I need though. I need better hands for Constantine and Uncle Sam as their hands are HUGE.

Who's your favorite Robin and why?
Is it Dick Grayson (Nightwing), Jason Todd (Red Hood), Tim Drake (Red Robin), Carrie Kelly (Catgirl), Stephanie Brown (Batgirl) or Damian Wayne??? |

Plus I don't think Dick Grayson as Batman would have worked out near as well as it did without Damian. The light-hearted Batman/grim Robin dynamic was perfectly handled. I forget what happened with the DCUC Damian Robin. Was it completely canceled, or is it still planned for a release through Matty Collector? I'm drawing a blank. It wasn't a particularly great representation, but I'd still buy it. |

It's a tie between Dick and Tim. Dick is the original Robin, he had great stories in the 70s and on BTAS. However, I feel Tim had a lot more development and stood out because his parents were all alive until many years later. He grew as Robin.
Damian is only cool because he is Bruce's actual son (and Talia's). I don't count Spoiler or Jason as anything more than filler.

Tomasi did an amazing job humanizing the character and building up the relationship with Bruce, only for him to get killed off in a book outside of Batman and Robin which left Tomasi having to do random team-ups every month. Anyway, does anyone know what version of Tim that is in the pic 3233rafael posted? I don't think I've ever seen that costume before, it looks pretty sweet. The mask reminds me of the brown DCUC Nightwing. |

I really like how all the Robin stories played out. I like the fact that most of them "evolved" from Robin to their own good or evil true identity. I like that Damian was the only one to live and die as Robin. |

It depends When DD comes out. THey both might come out in Dec, but if DD comes out in Nov, then Damian will still be the final figure.
And technically Jason died as Robin.

Edit: UDD and Damian will probably be two of the best sellers of this line so it'll be smart of them to make them available on different months IMO. Last edited by 3233rafael; 08-24-2014 at 08:15 AM.. |

Ah, so Damian is still getting released then. I might make the attempt to buy one. Can't say that I'm the biggest fan of the way Mattel handles teen/sidekick characters, though. They always look like they're in the process of hulking out.
And nice pics, rafael! Will you be getting the DCC unmasked Arkham Deathstroke from the upcoming box set as well? |

What do you think of the New 52 release? I considered buying it for a while, but never got around to it. I was a little disappointed in the DCC AO version, just because mine was missing one if his armor plates near his shoulder. It just had a big gaping hole where it should have been plugged into, so I had to make a piece to fit over it so it would look decent. |

The Arrow version is pretty well done. It has some good articulation, and I like how simplistic the design is. Reminds me a little of the version from the Teen Titans cartoon for some reason, except he still has both eyes.

Yeah I've hear great things about the Arrow Deathstroke version. See, the new 52 and the DCC AO versions are awesome to me just because I love everything "Deathstroke" so it's hard for me to say anything negative. Oh and speaking of Robins and Deathstroke, wasn't Damian the one responsible for leaving Deathstroke with one eye? Funny!
And now you've reminded me of the SoB action figures, which I totally forgot about. I'll be getting a few Damians for sure, one to leave as-is and the others for various mods/customs. Still haven't decided anything 'bout the Nightwing or Deathstroke. I think I've got enough versions of them already. |

I know the is a Mattel 6" appreciation thread....but who will make 6" DC figures now?
Is DCC a 6" line? Are they the guy now? |

Mattel still has the rights to do 6" DC stuff. In fact they just renewed their agreement recently for another few years. It remains to be seen what they'll do after Total Heroes. |

Meh, DCC is only interested in video game and N52 figures, so no, there is no one to go to until we start getting some classic characters again.
