For non-MOC collectors those figures are night and day. Face paint aside, look at the hip articulation between the figures. This "new" V-crotch is totally obsolete and kills any chance at any natural Catwoman poses.

I know, I'm just joking with you guys. I know it looks nothing like what they showed us at the beginning. I don't pass on figures unless the card is completely ruined but I know that means nothing to you guys because once you open the card you throw it away.

^Oh! haha Internet humor doesn't always come across accurately on screen. I thought you seriously couldn't tell a difference! My next comment to you would have been to get your eyes checked!

Lol, I'm always joking around with the folks here. Some Arkers take it too seriously and some even get mad at my comments but I mean no harm. You can tell who's passionate about the figures they like by the way they respond. I'm talking in general, not just on this thread. It's all good though!

Yeesh I'm kinda glad I made my own Catwoman using a G.I. Joe Baroness now. Still can't wait to get Knightfall Batman though.

Those were the only two I saw otherwise I would've gotten extra figs for you guys. I'll keep looking though.

snake5289 · 01-01-2016, 10:36 PM

No need worry about me sir I'm probably going to order one off of Amazon here soon. At the moment it's only a couple bucks more than what I'd pay in a store and chances are it may go down a bit more. Multiverse figures seem to have steady price drops lately.

The thought is greatly appreciated though.

I take offense to you saying that I just throw away the packaging. I hoard it away in a special box because I appreciate good packaging(though I appreciate a good figure even more).

I want u to know I take all card art and put it thru my giant ass paper shredder then I burn the strips in a BBQ pit and then dump it into the lake a mile from my house.

Psycho Pirate · 01-02-2016, 05:57 AM

I don't know if any openers have one yet. If so, I'd like to see how those hips work.

I also roast marshmallows over mine in a bonfire.

I've been keeping a close eye on amazon too, really want that azbats (knightfall is one of my all time favorite batman stories) and arkham knight cat woman. The hair coming out of her mask is hard to pull off, I remember seeing it on the 6 inch toy and thinking it looks like an Anthony Davis unibrow. There are way too many collectors in my area and I only did see a batman returns cat woman on a road trip and looking at her secondary prices is scary.
Anyone else think that the "epic strike" batmobile may work better for 3.75" figures?

You're keeping an eye out for third party listings on Amazon, right? Catwoman and Knightfall Batman are supposed to be Walgreens exclusives...

See, that's worse...less space for new stuff.

Found them at ToyRus...I heard that the exclusive for Walgreens was cancelled, I'm not sure what happened but I assume they'll hit retail stores now.

Wow, I've been checking my local Walgreens hoping to run into them too. Guess I'll call around to some TRUs and see if they have them. Hoping they do!

I just ran into the BvS 5 & 6 inch figures at my local Wal-Mart. Almost bought the basic WW and MV Regular & Armored Batman, but I decided to pass. I think I'm going to stick with Mafex on these unless better versions are put out by another company.

Me too... I guess that was pointless but I did get some good cheapo bluetooth headphones at walgreens along with my bucket o' krazy pills.

I'll wait for the 6 inch figures to go on clearance and at that point I may pick up the armored batman and maybe batfleck and WW.

Kernel · 01-02-2016, 11:27 PM

I picked up the batman vs superman batmobile and I feel like it's the one bone (intentional or not) thrown at 3.75" collectors. I think it scales pretty well and is the same size as the other batmobiles that came out for dark knight rises and arkham knight (and has a way cheaper price at $25):

Comparison shots (batman vs superman batmobile far right)

With dc multiverse 3.75" arkham knight batman:

Room for 2:

Talia who? " Oh no we are not married anymore, technically we never were... come sit next to me Natasha."

Kool. Are the front cannons removable?? I think I'd like it better without them

Psycho Pirate · 01-03-2016, 12:11 AM

I like it. I haven't seen it in the wild yet, though.

snake5289 · 01-03-2016, 09:18 AM

Yeah may have to get one of those.
