I'm trying to decide if I should get the current Punisher, or wait for the Classic.

LOVE that Darkseid. Finally something to compete with my CNC Darkseid. Wonder how tall he is.

Will own.

Also really digging that Batman. Don't know what he's based off of, but I like it.

How can these guys be so good. Bruce Wayne head sculpt looks awesome. Gonna get Iron Man also. Hopefully they do more comic Iron Man figures.

I decided to go with the PX Deluxe version:

All the magazines come out of the guns. The slide articulates back on the pistol. The revolver grenade launcher opens and you can slide grenades in. This amazing One:12 arsenal is the most detailed you'll find in this scale. So cool!

I believe I have the Deluxe on pre-order with BBTS. Is there difference enough between the two to justify getting both?

That Batman is growing on me. When I saw it I thought it was a pure first appearance joint, which I'm generally not fond of. Too dated. But this seems upgraded, modern interpretation, which I kinda dig.

One thing that's bothering me, the face sculpts on the latest round. BVS Batman (lower half) and even BVS Superman is pretty good. The Trek ones are pretty good. But Netflex DD, SS Harley, and that Wonder Woman - look nothing like the actors. Ash is in the zone, but a bit young/toony. Kind of a bummer since the rest of the figure on each is superb.

I will still get some of them, but I hope they can find a way to address that before release.

Anything where they take sculpt from scratch based on the artists vision and there isn't anything to compare to, have been well done.

The Ash head sculpts really need to be scrapped. We already have multiple iterations of Ash in plenty of sizes (7", 8" & 12"), all with better head sculpts than this. For the price they are likely to charge for the Ash (seems like it will be in the $85 range), that head sculpt needs to be perfect.

The Dawn of the Dead figures, on the other hand, are flat out perfect to me. I just hope they don't stop at these two. I need a damn Peter, Roger, and Fran figure!

For me, there wasn't anything in the standard release that I would care about if I already had the Deluxe version. Waiting for the deluxe version is hard!

I'm attaching "what's included" shots of both the standard and the deluxe. The figure itself has a slightly different costume as well.

I heard in a video interview from the pre-toy fair even that there would be three Batman figures from Mezco depicting his progression from this one(Year One-esque) to a "Batman prime"(When he's been fighting crime for a while) and an older one similar to TDKR. Very interesting.

Definitely interesting. It'd be hard to avoid buying all 3.

Im trying to decide between Arsenal and Deathstroke based off of the dates. DS says everywhere that he is coming out Jun-August, with some saying near August, while Arsenal's preorders have some saying July and some going for May. Which dates are reliable?

I like the deluxe costume much better.

When it comes to Mezco, there are no reliable dates. They put the figures out when they meet their high standards, not before, and if that causes delays, they just let the release dates get pushed back until the figures are perfect. The result is awesome figures with unreliable ship dates.

Sounds interesting. I'm liking the look of their take on a first appearance Batman more than I thought I would, so I'm curious to see what they would do for a more experienced Batman look. Would be great if they made a Robin to go with him.

Yea, unfortunately they said they don't really see Robin getting made because a kid fighting crime isn't really 'grounded' but they said if done, it would likely be Damien. They did say Nightwing was a good possibility, though.
