Hasbro is the same. New Ultron and a $130 Naboo Starfighter have that same cheap marbling

Yeah, looking back at his past figures, the swirly plastic is quite the regression.

I don't. The New 52 look being flash in the pan aside, this gets me closer to a JLI/JLU display, so I'm good. Now bring on Mr. Miracle, Guy Gardner and Fire & Ice!

I agree in that I buy these to profit off people with your taste. If it was a good version I'd keep it for myself.

And thankfully they're making the good version of Captain Atom. Can't wait to pick it up.

ThorOdinson123 · 05-03-2023, 08:09 AM

Better look at those Todd inspired CaveBat figures

Cyclopswc · 05-03-2023, 08:19 AM

They're certainly not dressed for "fighting the frozen", only Batman has enough sense to wear shoes.

They still look like a steaming pile of coiled shit.

They get new clamshell packaging now

Wow, we’re doing ‘packaging nostalgia’ now. “Own the libs with McFar’s retro clamshells!” He’s smart, this is certain to be a hit.

Can we get a “touché,” Hasbro?

snake5289 · 05-03-2023, 09:01 AM

The Big Daddy looking Mr. Freeze is kinda cool but that's about all I can say for these.

Tony_Bacala · 05-03-2023, 09:31 AM

If it's gonna be non-traditional, I'd rather it just be bonkers level stuff like this. If I see in person I'll make the call then.

Zigerlion · 05-03-2023, 09:38 AM

I'm up for Conan the Batbarian and Mr. Freeze that looks like EVE from Wall-e.

IzzyTipsy · 05-03-2023, 09:47 AM

I'll get the Big Daddy Freeze to put next to my Big Daddy and Little Sisters.

RodimusZX · 05-03-2023, 09:54 AM

definitely down for Batman and Batgirl from this line.
Personally, I'm tempted to pose them with some of the Jurassic World dinos (not that they're in scale) but go for a real 80's style anachronistic "cavemen vs dinos" theme

Black Arbor · 05-03-2023, 10:07 AM

I like the Mr. Freeze but I wish his dome had a translucent window with a black head and red eyes inside, instead of the eyes being painted on the dome.

This is about as dumb as when Darkseid killed Batman and he was leaping through time becoming caveman and pirate and medieval Batman. WTF is this even, some alternate universe comic that nobody will remember in 2 years?
Can we just get them to continue the Batman TAS line? They are sitting on a goldmine with that, they can continue with Superman TAS, Justice League, JL Unlimited, Batman Beyond, Static Shock, etc. Unlike these upteenth Batman versions, those would sell well. Even as a kid, the reason I did not buy many old Batman TAS toys was that I just wanted regular Batman, not zebra stripe Batman with a jetpack.

Mr. Freeze looks like a rejected Big Daddy from Bioshock, LOL. His big red sad eyes are just sooooo hilarious.

That I can approve of. I am all for saving the forests but what Hasbro does is ridiculous. I suspect finding an AFA gradeable Legacy package will be impossible, because often the paper box is warped right out of the case, they are so thin. Not to mention parts falling out because the wafer thin paper bag that holds the weapons got torn.

Trust me, we who live outside the USA hate them even more. And Target and Walgreens exclusives too. Took me until now to manage to find a TMNT Mona Lisa/Dirk Savage two-pack on ebay that was not 100$... Literally no EU webshop has even preorders for that one.

Same here. But he is great in all of his Scooby-Doo Villain glory.

Yeah, that was the thin veneer of humor laced within my ending sarcasm. I never thought Hasbro was being altruistic with the move, but I also have ZERO issues with reducing plastics. We’ve an island of trash in the pacific that represents just one elephant in the room.

Consume your plastic, humans! Feed it to your babies! Oh wait, that’s already happening as animals eat the plastics and we in turn eat them. Oh well, fuck it, who cares…

Batgirl is wearing considerably more clothing than I would consider appropriate.

Still, it's always nice to see more of these "Legends of Batman" type releases.

Mr. Freeze looks like a Big Daddy from BioShock. I dig this look.
