To ignore the tv properties completely seems foolish.

Also, once Supergirl starts up, and assuming the others are still going on, they'll actually have six DC shows running. Don't forget iZombie.

I just hope the delay in the game's release doesn't screw over Mattel's plans for the line. They don't need any help in branding something DC related as a "failure".

Don't forget Titans, the live-action Teen Titans show being made for TNT. Assuming it makes it past the pilot stage, of course.

He's on the lower end of the 3.75" spectrum, maybe on par with most of the DC Infinite Heroes stuff. Limited articulation and no Cape, but he comes with Violator (seen battling Odin in the corner of my display pics) as well as the diorama Nightwing and Mr. Freeze are standing on, just under the Chinese laundromat z-line.

I got the whole set for $20 or so a couple of years ago, and I'd recommend it if you're a Spawn fan. There are a couple of others, all based on the movie. One is the graveyard scene where Spawn digs up his own corpse (includes Clown), and the other is from the end of the movie with Violator coming out of the fireplace.

I'm still hoping we can get the rest of the Zod goon squad.

redx24 · 10-06-2014, 04:02 PM

no more kryptonians if their not gonna be done right they shouldn't do them at all

Poison Shadow · 10-06-2014, 07:44 PM

So, Robin turned out pretty good. I like that the pupils aren't painted on the eyes. Still debating whether or not to give him MU Gambit's bo staff. Seems oversized for him.

I suppose the lack of bicep swivels aren't so bad. I'm getting used to it. The cape kind of bothers me, though. The shape is odd, and I think the inside is supposed to be yellow... but it's fine.

Know you are talking about the originals but man I would have killed for a Faora in the MOS line.

Still kinda hope they bring her back possibly as a villain for the first Wonder Woman movie.

Ravenxl7 · 10-06-2014, 09:07 PM

A MoS Faora in this line would be awesome. Then again, any and all non-Bat-Family figures announced for this line would be nice to see. Hopefully NYCC will be bringing us some good news for this line. If nothing else, news of at least one wave of non-Arkham stuff.

snake5289 · 10-06-2014, 09:14 PM

A Man of Steel wave in the Multiverse line would be greatly appreciated.

Can't wait to have my Robin and Batman in hands. Big thanks to Nymesys Prime for helping me out with them.

Now to share something I've been working out over the last weeks/months.

Some of you may remember me asking about the 1:25 kit Batwing. Well I've been working on a cockpit that holds 3.75'' and 4'' figures for it. Almost done. Just need to do one more thing and prime it. Then I will probably have to sand some parts that are irregular. Priming it will show that.

I used a 30th Skystriker cockpit and loads of styrene. The model is great a very accurate replica of the movie.

Specter · 10-07-2014, 03:14 PM

Was across town today and decided to check a walmart for the Knight wave, nothing much but they had 3 Superman figures.
So I decided to go down the road to the other walmart and they had 3 Catwoman figures.

Finally got her, so just waiting on Knight figures now.

Gah, so jealous! Looks awesome. I think that's the only "batplane" design I've ever really liked.

That thing looks great where'd u get it can u post a pic of the box?

Grippen · 10-08-2014, 03:09 AM

There are 2 versions released in different years but I think the model is the same.

Very ingenious! Aside from designing the cockpit, have you needed to modify the Batwing model itself much? Looking forward to seeing the final results.

Grippen · 10-08-2014, 09:13 AM

I sanded a bit inside to gain some millimeters for the shoulders but nothing else. You can actually use the original cockpit if you want.

Specter · 10-09-2014, 02:42 PM

So Mattel isn't at NYCC correct?

Some of the new Marvel 3.75 figures will help my MU DC customs.
Shanna's head is pretty good for Talia and that Daredevil body will make for a good Nightwing.

I'm going to assume you mean NYCC. I'm not sure. I can't remember if it was them or some other toy company that said they weren't going to NYCC this year.

Those seem like good ideas. Hopefully it won't be but if the Multiverse AC Nightwing ends up meh I think I'll do that myself.

I basically have 2 sets of a 3.75 Batman collection.
DCIH, TDK, DCC Injustice and Multiverse all on my DC shelf.
Have a few MU Batman customs(Batman, Ninja Bruce, Cass Cain, Barbara and Lady Shiva) that go on my Marvel shelf.

originally my MU customs were the mains but with Mattel killing it on Multiverse it has become my favorite superhero figure line.
sadly though some characters like Batgirl won't happen with Multiverse so I keep the customs around.

Thats one thing im kinda happy about is if Multiverse Arkham Catwoman is too tall for Multiverse as she appears in a few pics I will put her with my MU Batman.

snake5289 · 10-09-2014, 06:32 PM

I've done the same. Most are just straight up repaints of already made Batman figures (like TDK Scarecrow which will be moved to my Marvel section to fight Ghost Rider) but I did make a Bane out of a MU Apocalypse that turned out pretty good if I must say.

Two-Face from Meijer $8.99
Robin from Walmart $9.97

Catwoman continues to elude me. Not really going after her that much since I want the Arkham version more. If I eventually see her at retail fine if not that's OK too.

vindowviper · 10-10-2014, 07:53 PM

Has anyone else been adding swivel elbows to their multiverse figs? I'm running out of extra Joes and marvel universe figs to Frankenstein and already tried making copies out of green stuff, but they aren't durable enough. Any viable solutions?

Same here. Wait, so they ARE going to make an Arkham version? That is my definitive catwoman version!
