I looked for quite a bit and was unable to find one of these.... DC has a 6" and Marvel has 3.75 and 6", but no little guys for DC yet? I know they're not as popular as Marvel's, but it's only fair.

As far as I know, the lines that make up this scale (circa) are:
Mego
Pocket Super Heroes (original)

Remco
Sgt. Rock (+ "Bad Guys")

Bandai
Teen Titans

Mattel
Infinite Heroes
Justice League Unlimited
Young Justice
Green Lantern (film)
The Dark Knight/Rises/Trilogy
Man of Steel
Multiverse (pre 2016)

Takara
Microman (Superman & Batman lines)

DC Collectables
Green Lantern
Injustice

Funko
ReAction (Flash and Arrow TV series)
Suicide Squad
Batman '66

I'll start off with my purchase from Saturday.

Oh yes, there are many that are really cool, especially ones that never actually showed up in the series.

Wasn't the final wave supposed to come out, with Future Static and all that? Or was that all canceled?

Either way it's sad that McDuffie wasn't able to see a Static figure on the shelves. In fact, he posted on his blog about how excited he was about the figure the DAY before he died

^ That's a great figure, a little dusty but it fits the scale very well. Most folks lean toward the Microman version of Batman (same scale, more articulation) but this was a solid retail release. I have the blue version and love it, but I don't have a display for that scale anymore. Him and Supes are just collecting dust too.

I have the entire line of these figures less the black costumed Mary Batson. I'd display them but I just don't have the room. They're currently sitting in two tubs, one for villains, one for heroes. I agree, the Batmans look great. The sculpts look great overall. I don't even really care about the articulation in which the only thing lacking is additional leg articulation. I wish they made more. There are a lot of heroes they missed.

Dust? LOL!!

Yeah,that was an uber close up that exposed my poor dusting techniques.

You've got the red,gold and blue Supes or the black and silver version?

I have the black and silver version.

Lookin' good, mate. I'll have to gather up all of my Batmen (Batmans?) and figure out which one I like best.

And now... some random Lanterns.

My new DC 3 3/4" appreciation.

The proportions of the Black Widow body are a bit too... boobie and round to be Ms. Hathaway, but the articulation far exceeds that awful body she came with in the 5-pack.

VERY nice, and a LOT better than the official thing.

As much as I love them, Mattel needs to step their game on this scale.

granted, they do some pretty decent headsculpts. Their GL Ryan Reynolds was flawless, and the unmasked Bruce wayne head from this set is pretty good. The paint on all of it is alittle cartoony and over saturated, but they get the job done.

Someone on the tank showed a Catwoman head on a ROC Baroness body, and it looked pretty sweet.

I think that makes a great buck for Anne Hathaway Catwoman, I mean she does have huge boobs.

Yes and no. The hole in Bane's head is way too small to fit normally, so I bored it out a little and then trimmed down the neck ball on the body. So it does need a lil work. But the Catwoman head pops right on no problem.

Good thread. I've got a few of the movie GLs and just picked up a TDKR Batman and added elbows (pretty big pain but worth it). I'll post pics when I get up in the morning because I'm off to bed now.

So I was just thinking last night isnt odd that the hasbro channel shows both superman and batman.

Does anyone recollect any other 1/18th supermen aside from Mego pocket heroes, Microman, infinite heroes, Doomsday and justice leauge?

So here's what I've got. I like these just fine but would it really kill Mattel to give these things elbow joints. It can't be that hard (well it kind of was) or expensive. And sorry if the pics aren't too great I took them after being awake for like 10 mins.

My GL Corps. The Hal/GL has been colored with a sharpie and my early attempts at giving one of these things elbow joints.

Just picked up the Batman last night at Target. I really liked the Bane with the minigun attachment thing and the 5 pack they had up there. Anyway as for Bats he's my more successful attempt at adding elbows. Can't really tell from the pic but they're not 100% pro looking like some of the stuff you guys on Toyark have done but it is my first successful attempt afterall. But all that counts is it worked and I like it.

Thank you good sir and if he ever did I never saw him. Hell I never saw the last wave(s) with G'hu and Krona which sucks because I really wanted those two. I got mine in the 4 pack when Target had everything GL related half off.

Justice League Unlimited
Young Justice


I'll start off with my purchase from Saturday.
Those two are NOT 3.75 inch scale. Those are whatever the 5 inch scale is.
There were also Microman licensed DC characters (Superman, Supergirl, Batman, Batgirl, Catwoman, Cyborg Superman, Superman Returns Supes)

You were also ripped off on Batman if you paid more than $1 for it. I got the exact same one on ebay for $1 from China.




I need to update my group shots as I have gotten a few more since...
