DC 3.75/4" Appreciation Thread

I know what you mean. I can't wait for the larger characters. It'd be cool to see Bane down the line.

Rattrap Primal · 08-31-2014, 04:30 PM

I hope we get Ursa and Non..........any word if Mattel would just make Multiverse the catch all line or at least use it for the DC Animated movies?

I thought that's what Multiverse is supposed to be?? Aren't some of the figures from the recent Arkham animated movie? So far it is mostly Batman Multiverse.

snake5289 · 08-31-2014, 11:38 PM

Not that I've seen but I'd buy an Assault on Arkham Harley on sight.

Supposed to be? Yes... but this is Mattel we're speaking of.

Nope. All the Multiverse figures thus far are either based on one of the Arkham games or an old DC movie. It would be cool to see them do Multiverse figures based on the animated movies, but it hasn't happened yet, and I doubt it ever will.

Almost entirely so, and Mattel even claimed that later waves would expand beyond just Batman and Superman characters. I should know not to believe anything they say, but part of me hopes they do eventually do expand the line. If nothing else they should use it to release decent figures based on the new movies. Sort of as a smaller scale of Movie Masters.

I'd hope Mattel's smart enough that by the time the JL movie is gearing up to hit theaters all the characters involved in the cinematic DCU will be part of the line.

I hope there will be a wave dedicated to Batman Vs. Superman: Dawn of Justice!

snake5289 · 09-01-2014, 07:58 PM

Agreed

Ravenxl7 · 09-01-2014, 09:57 PM

One wave of figures per movie would be great. Though not all the movies will have six figure-worthy characters, so maybe they could work-in some other figures into the waves. Like a Linda Carter WW figure in the wave for the Wonder Woman movie, or maybe some comic-based figures for an Aquaman wave.

That said, I'll be happy enough just to see some characters outside of the Bat-family and Superman's group. If nothing else, being able to assemble a complete cinimatic Justice League would be nice.

Speaking of the larger figures they're doing for the Arkham stuff, that same size of figure could work for some potential future movie villains.

Expect BvS to be a separate line of figures, like the TDKR and MOS lines.

The Multiverse line comprises of DC costumed heroes as depicted in popular classic movies and currently popular video games. It appears to be up in the air as to whether it will also include costumed heroes who have appeared in TV series (e.g. Arrow and the new The Flash).

Oh, it most certainley will. Mattel's got their toys to produce, but that doesn't mean we couldn't see a wave of Multivese dedicated to BvS figures.

That's what it currently is, but there's nothing that says they can't, or won't, expand the line beyond those two categories. The Arkham games and past live-action DC movies can only carry them so-far.

The TV shows are certainley another possibility. Nothing confirmed, but possible. I believe the future movies are another possibility. Especially considering that Mattel will want to capitalise on them as best they can. What better than a wave of collector-branded figures in an existing catch-all sort of toyline?

I also don't think they'll be doing any more traditional Movie Masters. They seem to see that scale as dead to collectors. The Multiverse line would be a good way for them to do some Movie Master like figures, but in a scale they still have some interest in doing collector oriented figures in.

snake5289 · 09-02-2014, 04:19 PM

Just got an e-mail saying that Arkham Knight Batman has shipped and should be here Saturday.

tlasjr · 09-02-2014, 09:45 PM

I don't think the accessories are as big a deal as they seem.
four of 12 had nothing.(bane, deadshot, batman v1, superman) 3 had accessories that hurt rather than helped (zod, azrael, batman v2)
2 had cool too have but needed acccesories ( batman v3,v4) and that leaves three where the accessories enhanced the figures. (penguin, catwoman, freeze)

Passed on some multiverse figs at Ross for $5. They only has freeze and armored batman.

Poison Shadow · 09-03-2014, 01:13 PM

Got my Joker & Batman today. Pretty happy with Joker, he doesn't feel all that fragile despite being extremely articulated. DCC's stupid "dynamic" in-package pose has resulted in the wrist peg of his right hand getting stretched out and bent a little, so it's visible and kind of loose, but it's not a big deal I suppose. The legs feel a little frail, but it doesn't seem like anything will break. His left ankle is stuck and there's no way in hell I'll try to articulate it, though. It's fine as-is.

If anyone wants him, I'm looking to maybe sell Batman. I've got no interest in this version, I'm fine with the Mulitverse one I already own. I've never even removed this one from the plastic tray, so you can have the box and the cardboard diorama/stage backdrop as well. PM me if interested.

I will say that Batman's head sculpt looks surprisingly good in person, which I didn't expect.

snake5289 · 09-03-2014, 06:42 PM

I would but I seem to have crappy luck with the Ross around here.

Wha...?? This has to be a fluke at that particular store you visited. I'll check my local Ross but I really doubt I'll come across a deal like that.

Ninjinister · 09-03-2014, 11:09 PM

Stiiiiiiiiiiiiiill can't find dem movie multi-verse figs anywhere locally. They either still have pegs upon pegs of wave 1 (comics shop) or are barren (elsewhere)

I feel your pain, brah. Starting to lose hope that I'll be able to find Superman and Catwoman.

snake5289 · 09-06-2014, 09:00 AM

Batman came in this morning. Pretty awesome but I'm still looking forward to the Origins version.

The Dynamic Duo together again. Sorry for the shitty pic but I can't seem to take one that isn't blurry as hell. I'm a little under the weather today.

Ooh, nice! I don't like the in-game version of the AK suit, but I gotta say that the action figure looks really good for some reason - especially next to another member of the bat-family.

snake5289 · 09-06-2014, 03:45 PM

I can't say I'm a huge fan either (too Iron Man) but it's a pretty sweet little figure. Looks kinda like the New 52 meets TDK.
