That Shazam pic looks like a prototype version. His head came out nowhere near that good.

I haven't seen the Bat n' Beast packs in stores, but I got the Tiger Claw pack from Mattel a few months ago.

Gotta say that robo-tiger looks pretty badass.

Well stopped into Meijer after work today and they finally got the Harley,joker,batman,and black mask wave in. Must have just out them out since black mask was still there. Was happy to find him and for 8.99 too. Hopefully I'll be able to track down hush now. Funny though my 5 year old son upon looking at the back said "why do they put batman in everything I already have a batman." Amen is all I could say.

Smart little guy right there.

305Batman · 02-04-2015, 03:24 PM

Because you will buy every Batman.

snake5289 · 02-04-2015, 07:27 PM

That is absolutely not true...maybe.

Just got this guy at Walmart and I'm wondering if there's a cheap way to replicate/ mold a bunch of the tiger. They would make a wonderful accessories to any squad of army builders.

Someone mentioned this before but never supplied a link.

Topic One: Quality Control

We received fan questions asking about quality issues with DC Collectibles product, so we wanted to take a moment to give you a look at where we are and what we are doing going forward.

Some fans have mentioned damaged product or brittle parts with our Batman Animated action figure line. We are currently evaluating the production process for these action figures and have instituted some additional reviews in order to improve and catch any quality issues. Be reassured that quality will be improving going forward.

For those of you more interested in specifics, here are some details. We have traditionally used a polycarbonate for smaller joints on our plastic action figures. This is sometimes referred to as the “clear plastic.” Based on our early reviews of samples sent from the factories the products held up under testing. Since then, however, in part as a result of fan feedback that we received, it has become clear that we can make the smaller joints in our action figures even stronger.

Starting with most products in 2015, we are upgrading to POM (aka polyoxymethylene) for those joints previously made in polycarbonate. This is a stronger plastic that allows it to be molded in a color instead of clear. We have heard from our fans loud and clear that this is the number one issue for our action figures.

We will continue to use PVC (aka polyvinyl chloride) for the larger size joints (such as elbows and knees), ABS (acrylonitrile butadiene styrene) for harder plastics and on a case by case basis, we will be thickening the size of very small joints. This may affect some of the aesthetic look of the small Batman Animated characters but we feel the balance between look and quality will be appropriate.

In addition to the material change, we have changed our quality review process and extended our production timeline to ensure we can deliver the best products.

Wow! That was a lot of long sounding words! But hopefully this background information helps reinforce to you, our fans, that we are dedicated to improving our product so that you have the best experience possible. And we want to make sure we’re always improving. You can help us by sending your feedback to our e-mail address: DCCollectibles@DCEntertainment.com

FINALLY!
That has been a long time coming!

Kudos to DCC for actually listening to the problems customers have had with their figures and actually doing something to fix it.

I applaud you DCC.

305Batman · 02-09-2015, 10:52 AM

Should've never happened, I guess they don't bother testing the product?

Picked him up @ Target today - he's better to me than their Harvey Dent. The cashier had to ring him up by imputing the #'s, he wasn't in their system yet evidently.

Awesome. All I can say is good luck with them man.

Foreddyn · 02-09-2015, 08:51 PM

Those Batman Unlimited figures with animal companions intrigue me - even if without the articulation.

At first, I thought Arkham Knight was a Batman Beyond redesign. I also got a Jason Todd feel from him, so I looked it up. Sorry not familiar with the new ones.

Penguino · 02-09-2015, 09:18 PM

Well bought a Hush online, got it today and it's missing a gun...

Seller doesn't have anymore. Great.

Anyone able to help me out by picking one up? Really appreciate it.

slim19722 · 02-10-2015, 04:47 PM

I hit 3 Walmarts that completed the reset and they've dropped Multiverse. But Walgreens is starting to carry Multiverse. Saw Azrael and Freeze for $11.99 each.
