DC 3.75/4" Appreciation Thread

I would actually far prefer an Arkham Asylum Batmobile but I feel the opportunity has passed for that unless they do some form of Batmobile line.

Anything from the Arrow and upcoming Flash TV show I'd be down for.

snake5289 · 05-27-2014, 11:07 AM

Agreed on the Batmobile. Asylum's version is way better.

And yes for Arrow (I'd be all over those) but I'd pass on Flash.

^ I could always use another batmobile for my armory.
I really like this 89' batman figure. I just really want a good joker in this scale. I would love a Heath Ledger joker, but I would happily settle for a Nicholson one. We got Keaton's batman, now he needs some villains.

snake5289 · 05-27-2014, 12:57 PM

Mmhmm. Seems like kind of a waste to release Keaton Batman without Nicholson Joker. Still going to get that Batman when I see one though.

I desperately want an Arkham City Catwoman!

A Arkham City Nightwing and Robin would also be cool.

snake5289 · 05-28-2014, 09:51 AM

AC Robin for sure but I'm good with the Injustice Nightwing.

Il Cattivo · 05-28-2014, 11:05 AM

agreed on nicolson joker.

would also like to see carey riddler and tlj two face. we need more movie villains.

snake5289 · 05-28-2014, 12:39 PM

I'd be fine with that as long as it's Riddler in the suit. Never really cared for the spandex look.

As for Two-Face I've previously stated any version of Two-Face would be aces with me.

got a multiverse Zod and 89 Batman. Zod is still in his prison because I opened batman first and im just loving tthis figure so much. its like im a kid again and he just fun to pose and play with. I am really digging this figure. I absolutely love the soft cape they gave him too. breaking out the bale batmobile and the bat. the animated batjet and wayne manor for this guy. when I have the funds I will be getting the 89 batmobile for him and possible many others as this is my definitive batman for now.

snake5289 · 05-29-2014, 01:17 PM

Picked up Arkham City Freeze. Pretty sweet figure. Love the detail the put in on his suit. Still looking for Keaton.

freeze is a beautiful figure. but has movement problems that I guess I don't mind. would love an unmasked bats but for now this new guy is my favorite figure.

batsncats · 05-29-2014, 03:07 PM

Got Keaton from Amazon. Easily some of Mattels best work.

I suspect it's an issue with acquiring the likeness to Jack Nicholson. Nicholson either asked too much money, or wouldn't let Mattel to use his likeness.

Even when broke, sometimes money has limits on what you should allow based on your own personal convictions.

personal choice here given the chance id do like kiss and plaster my likeness everywhere

Finally found DCMV Zod yesterday. Great sculpt and paint - color me impressed. Now I can't wait for Reeve Superman to come out so he can NOT kneel before Zod (since all of the DCMV figures lack the ability

).

Also saw DCMV Keaton Batman (masked and unmasked). I decided to pass on them for now, but I might pick up the masked version later. In person, the unmasked sculpt of Keaton looks terrible - at least on the one I saw. Hopefully it was just a QC glitch and I will find a better one later.

I'd probably go with the former. He didn't seem to have a problem with Hot Toys making a toy of Nicholson as the Joker.

Of course, that doesn't necessarily mean Mattel isn't still in negotiations with him. Look how long it took them to get Yvonne Craig to sign over rights to her likeness as Batgirl.

For your sake, I hope your merchandising is just as profitable for you as it is for Kiss.

Looks like Penguin is hitting. 2 on eBay... Final product looks amazing!!

The 4" SpruKits model figures are now available for preorder. But this retailer appears to be selling them for too much -- they're supposed to retail for $8 to $10 each.

That listing seems to be for a case of six of 'em, though, so that checks out at $60.

2x Batman New 52
2x Batman Dark Knight Rises
1x Joker Classic Comic
1x Superman New 52

I may have to buy a couple of those. I think I'll start with Joker if I can find them individually. I'm trying to get better at painting tiny details (starting with Rivet Wars miniatures) so I'm hoping I can do a good job painting faces by then.
