Well thats what i LOVE about Mattel,its like they DONT ACTUALLY WANT our money!! Less than 12months since they dropped the ball on the eternally peg-warming GL figures (which are so bad even i cant find ANYTHING good about) and they do the exact same thing with the Dark Knight...i'd like everyone to spare a minute of their time to applaud Mattel as one of the most ass-backwards,non-learning from their mistakes Toy Manufacturers OF ALL TIME!!! Congratulations numbskulls you did it again!!!!

proteus 03-11-2012 05:43 PM

And also next round of Mattel Q+A can someone please ask them why they are so afraid of making product that might sell?? There must be some reason for their head-in-the-sand approach to toy manufacture.....

Agreed. I love GL since I was a kid, but I can't bring myself to even drop the Wal-Mart clearance price of $3.50 on a figure.

Mattel just doesn't get it. They have such great licenses, but such crappy execution. Could anyone imagine if they ever did Star Wars? *shudder*

Crazy Jetty 03-11-2012 07:01 PM

All they need are knees and elbows. Don't know why that is so hard for Mattel.

snake5289 03-11-2012 08:40 PM

Thank you. The sculpt on the GLs are great and throw in elbow and knee joints they'd be sweet figures.

Completely agreed. Hell, they wouldn't have been so terrible if their arms and legs weren't so damned straight. if their arms had been sculpted to acknowledge that an elbow exists in basic humanoid anatomy, they would have made it hurt a little less.

snake5289 03-11-2012 09:35 PM

I actually cut a chunk out of Hal's arm and glued it in a bent position to simulate the joint. You shouldn't have to do that.

These might possibly be the worst Batman figures ive ever seen. What a shame as I was excited to buy all of these.... Looks like its just Alfred, Blake, Batman, Bane, n Cat ACTION figure for me. n whatever else finishes the bat signal.

Jason Abbadon 03-12-2012 05:32 PM

Okay, anyone that bitched about the Avengers movie line's lack of articulation needs to look at this garbage and be thankful for what they got!

Maaaan....these are terrible. That Bane is worse than even the first Toybiz figures- no elbow or knee joints?!?
And none on the Batman or Alfred figures either?

Why bother giving them any articulation at all if you can pose them in anything like a realistic pose? If they were going to limit articlation so severely, they shoud have just had Mcfarlane do the figs- at least then the sculpting would be worth the $10-15 they'll be asking for these.

Yeah- we'll be seeing these clog pegs on the TRU clearance asile at the holidays and beyond.

Very disapointing.

Yeah- I only picked up some of the aliens from that because of the lack of articulation...and even those break my heart. They look great- the sculptors there did a great job- but when produced, they just sucked. Isamot in particular would have been an epic figure with ball jointed shoulders and elboow/knee articulation.

That being said, the GL figs put these Batman figs to shame.
