DC 3.75/4" Appreciation Thread

Is Mattel not there with DC stuff?

Ravenxl7 · 02-14-2015, 04:40 PM

They are definitely there. I haven't seen any pictures of a booth, but I did see an article detailing some of their assortments for this year. In addition to some new stuff for Batman Unlimited, they did have Multiverse listed as an assortment.

According to that there will be eighteen figures this year. I'm not sure if Joker and Harley are a part of that number (they came out rather late last year), but I am sure that we know at least five of those eighteen already (Arkham Knight, Hush, '66 Batman, Batman Beyond, and Deathstroke).

Sadly no mention of any of the multi-packs, so the rest of those might not make it.

If they ditch the multipacks, Croc is cancelled I guess. Then we have those 5 plus Catwoman and Nightwing potentially as well.

Croc is not canceled. Someone spotted him on Amazon.com but a 3rd party seller
so he should show up soonish at regular places

no Mattel today I guess
it goes until the 17th
I hope we get something tomorrow.

Specter · 02-14-2015, 11:01 PM

Really hope Multiverse has a good showing, im fearing the future of 3.75.
Im actually really tempted to jump ship on Marvel's 3.75 side.

DCC is calling me as well with the Shiva from Origins and Flash/Arrow stuff but a good Multiverse showing will keep it as my main for the foreseeable future.

That's good to know. I really only want Nightwing, but I might keep Croc and put him with my 6" figures.

We will. I'm not sure what time it'll start, but their event/panel is scheduled for some time tomor... later today. Hopefully they have something good to show-off/announce.

Too bad about that torso, but good to hear it didn't break. I finally saw a multi verse Harley at Walgreens today and holy smokes the eyes looked awful, you guys weren't joking. I think I'll pull the trigger on that injustice cyborg/Quinn and wait for a good date night 4 pack (joker, Quinn, AO batman, and cat woman).

not sure how Funko beat Mattel to the punch with Arrow and Flash tv figures but I think they are kinda cool just would rather see them done Multiverse style.

If they do I really hope they go Arkham scale and not movie.
Arkham Batman(Knight & Origins at least) would look decent design wise with Arrow/Flash.
You could also loan Arrow a semi-fitting Deathstroke and Deadshot untill those series got built out.

I would assume Mattel had first dibs on TV Arrow and Flash, but they passed for some reason. Perhaps they see DC movies as better sellers.

Ravenxl7 · 02-15-2015, 06:52 AM

The weird thing is that in their press-release for re-signing with DC they actually specifically mentioned Arrow and The Flash, and DC TV shows in-general. Their wording even made it sound like they already had product in the works for Arrow.

Then again, I'm gradually learning to ignore most things mentioned in press releases. Hasbro's press release for when they got their Star Trek licensing was almost entirely BS.

Jay West · 02-15-2015, 11:27 AM

Hi, first post. toynewsi has pics of Multiverse. Fairly lame. There's a new Penguin which I assume is from one of the Arkham games, a couple of the detective mode figures, Batman Beyond, and an unmasked Batman. Not Catwoman unless I missed her. Croc and Nightwing are shown as well.

snake5289 · 02-15-2015, 11:43 AM

Wow Batman Beyond is kinda disappointing.

eva00kai · 02-15-2015, 11:47 AM

Yeah batman beyond was one i was extremely excited for... Now ill probably be passing on him. The only one they have on display that im interested in is deathstroke

snake5289 · 02-15-2015, 12:02 PM

Penguin looks alright but too tall.

Jay West · 02-15-2015, 12:02 PM

Really disappointed that Catwoman is not there.

This might not mean anything. I'm pretty sure they don't show store exclusives with the other figures on the showroom floor.

Maverick · 02-15-2015, 01:23 PM

Disappointed in the multiverse showing. Was hoping for more than one figure we didnt know was coming. Hopefully there saving them for sdcc. Hopefully we find out soon if that 4 pack is canceled or not.

Poison Shadow · 02-15-2015, 01:43 PM

Yikes. Beyond looks weird, but I suppose he did in-game as well. He's still a purchase.

Arkham Penguin is awful. Still too tall with a tiny head, plus he has that stupid beer bottle "monocle" shoved into his eye.

Azrael looks kind of cool, but very bloated. Might get him if I find myself getting nostalgic after he shows up in DC's Convergence event comic.

I really thought we'd have some bicep swivels by now.

sephiroth61787 · 02-15-2015, 01:54 PM

I think Beyond looks pretty good, tbh. Still Batman heavy figures, but I'll pick most of them up. Have the Clayface/Batman and Grundy/Batman 2-packs shown up in store? I see they are out of stock on Amazon....

I've not been following them too closely because the villians are too big for me, but I think people have found them at Toys R Us.

thewriteguy · 02-15-2015, 02:23 PM

Now I wonder if Mattel is focusing their 4" efforts on Batman v Superman next year, if they'll even have 4".

Il Cattivo · 02-15-2015, 02:42 PM

mattel just can't seem to get penguin's height right. first devito penguin, now this.

yup. they've been out for a while now (at least in my area).

Autobot_Goldbug · 02-15-2015, 03:19 PM

I like the unmasked Arkham Batman.

rustyrob · 02-15-2015, 07:52 PM

Batman Beyond - His "collar bone" makes it look like he needs a cape... Im still buying it

Penguin - Not perfect but fits in better with my other villains

Is the classic batman set 3.75? that batgirl looks sweet
