DC 3.75/4" Appreciation Thread

snake5289 · 05-07-2014, 02:12 PM

Injustice Nightwing/Superman came in today and I'm happy to say no stuck joints and no breakage. Only thing that happened was Superman's leg popped off the joint coming out of the package so I popped it back on.

I regret not getting Catwoman/Doomsday now when I was in FYE with my buddy over the weekend. These are pretty awesome I have to say.

That's good to hear. Maybe they've gotten the kinks worked out with their 3.75" toys by now? I suppose the Joker/Batman set will be the true test.

I would recommend the Catwoman/Doomsday set. I mean, Catwoman feels pretty fragile, and one of the wrists on mine is stuck, but I've messed with it quite a bit while trying to decide the final pose in my display and nothing has ever broken.

Doomsday's waist articulation (waist crunch?) is stuck on mine, but otherwise he feels solid as a rock.

I would hope so because they're pretty nice little figures. I wasn't that thrilled about them after hearing all the problems people have had with them but sitting here messing around with them a bit I like them quite a bit. Only downsides I've had so far is that leg that popped off of Superman doesn't seem to want to stay on and Nightwing couldn't really hold his escrima sticks. Solved that last problem by chopping up an old lightsaber and taking a black sharpie to them.

If I stop by FYE again sometime soon and they still have a set (there were 2 or 3) I'll probably pick one up. Dammit I think I've found a new addiction.

I had the same problem with my Superman, In the end I had to use the hot glue gun method.

snake5289 · 05-07-2014, 06:57 PM

I think I'll try dabbing a bit of superglue on there. Meanwhile one head swap and cape change later...

Yep! Looks great

I did this headswap also but didnt think to do the cape aswell!

batsncats · 05-08-2014, 07:29 AM

What is that cape from?

snake5289 · 05-08-2014, 09:15 AM

Thor from the first movie line.

Superman's original cape was too small imo. Good material though. Nice and bendy.

snake5289 · 05-08-2014, 01:37 PM

So I just got a coupon from the DC store or whatever you call it and was thinking of grabbing another Injustice pack. Anyone have some recommendations? I'm leaning toward Deathstroke/Green Arrow or Harley/Cyborg. Only thing is I like and wouldn't mind owning Deathstroke and Harley but don't really care about GA and Cyborg. I think they paired the packs this way specifically for this reason.

Oh yeah, definitely.

If you really want that Deathstroke, I'd say go ahead and get that pack. Last time I looked, the price of that set was rising on the secondary market. Ironically that set is probably the best pairing out of the whole series, just because both characters are used so prominently on Arrow. the only set that does better is the upcoming Joker/Batman.

I've been wanting Harley too, but the fact that the female Injustice figures are by far the most fragile, along with the fact that I don't have much interest in Cyborg, it has kept me from pulling the trigger.

I'm also holding out hope that we'll get a Harley Quinn from Mattel's multiverse, possibly from an Arkham Knight series.

snake5289 · 05-08-2014, 03:31 PM

Yeah I noticed that on eBay and Amazon the Deathstroke/Green Arrow pack was higher than the others. On the DC store site thingy it was the same as all the others though.

If the Batman/Joker pack was out already I'd get that one hands down. Joker looks good and all Batman needs is some black touch-ups to cover up the blue parts.

Wish they'd make Shazam already. I'd definitely get a figure of him.

TheLongestDay · 05-08-2014, 03:44 PM

I picked up the last sets I needed from BBTS as they had them on sale (unfortunately I got stung by customs!!! Damn you ROYAL MAAAAIL!!)

When the Bats/Joker set comes out I will definitely try and grab that too, although the Arkham figures match up really well with the Injustice ones so I use the Arkham Batman as my default.

kylactus · 05-08-2014, 04:22 PM

Ok I'm just starting to get the injustice figures, can anyone explain the weird mismatched pairings in the two packs? cat woman/ doomsday, cyborg/Harley? those are some lopsided fights!

snake5289 · 05-08-2014, 04:26 PM

I think it's planned out so that in order to get a character you really like you also get one you don't really care about. A few posts up I mentioned I'd really like to get Deathstroke and Harley but don't really care about Green Arrow and Cyborg.

On the flipside I just got Nightwing and Superman who are both characters I really like so I really don't know. Those devious bastards.

Nice. Still kicking myself about not getting Catwoman and Doomsday at FYE last weekend. Live and learn I guess.

Thats sets a winner as both figures are really nice, I was a bit disappointed with Harley not having a white face but apart from them they've all been great (except the aforementioned Superman leg problem).

They only set I didnt bother with was the WW/Grundy one, I didnt like the Grundy design they chose to make and I already have a DC infinite crisis WW that does the job.

snake5289 · 05-08-2014, 05:14 PM

Agreed on WW/Grundy. Don't really care for either of those. They've gone with the primary/default (call them what you will) costumes of everyone except WW, Grundy, and Catwoman. Wonder why since most of the characters in the main story sported the One Earth/alternate costumes.

Still good to know that all the breakage problems don't seem to happen all the time since I plan to pick up at least a few more of these.

Il Cattivo · 05-10-2014, 10:38 PM

can't wait to get my hands on those. that unmasked batman variant is a pass for me though. not a fan of the face sculpt.

Specter · 05-11-2014, 06:33 AM

looking good, weird picture choice for unmasked Batman though.

Ninjinister · 05-11-2014, 06:43 AM

Noice. I was hoping that they'd be out soon.

Oh man, I'm so jealous! They look pretty good, too.

I do wish the head and neck on masked Keaton would have been one piece so it would be just that much more accurate, but it's a minor nitpick.

TheLongestDay · 05-11-2014, 08:26 AM

Is it just these 3 out next? Or are the penguin and Superman ones out too?

snake5289 · 05-12-2014, 09:04 AM

Nightwing:"Oh yeah...I am sooo screwed!"
