DC Multiverse Batman Year Two

They're up for order now.

Not ALL of them have broken arms, right? So one may luck out.

Actually, now I'm worried about the Three Jokers Batman having broken arms since it's mostly the same figure as the Year Two Batman, just different head and cape.

I didn't have issues with either and I messed with them thoroughly for the shoots.

Yes, but you got review samples that didn't bake in the hot sun and marinate in the sea salt air for months off the coast of California like the ones being sent to retailers now.

Whatever plastic was used for the joints became either weakened or brittle.

Broken arms are a widespread problem for Batman Year Two, and Lobo has had incidents, too.

That is possible yes. Was just giving feedback on personal experience.

I believe the copies I get are retail level, and come from boat based shipping. Mcf I think gets x cases direct to them as the rest work out to retailers. I can't say for sure tho.

Ive had other manufacturers send pre ship level copies and they are usually different in some way. These haven't been.

The extra time in transit, from containers, ports, to shelf could be an issue even if above is true.

Just did it and it totally worked! Even boiled the sockets where the cloth cape plugs in and the cape went on much smoother! Thanks again!

So, it is indeed happening with the Three Jokers Batman.
