The croc is so bad ass. I will try to take some detailed pics if I get a chance. The chains are actually metal.

Is there much articulation with freeze and croc? I love the designs and sculpts, but the $40-50 pricetag doesn't make me want them that bad.

No problem, and thanks for the clarification. Good news for army builders and customizers, I guess. No wonder I don't see him that often (in either form).

Finally! Pre-ordered in May, which feels like a lifetime ago.

Nice. I just ran over to a comic book store on my lunch break to get this guy, but they were sold out. They had Freeze though... for $45. Pfff. Why is he the same price as Croc? I thought Croc was $45 because he was a giant figure.

I paid $54 for Croc shipped & $60 for Freeze shipped. I have the rest of the Arkham figs so I pre-ordered them both to make sure I would have them before either had the chance to get to crazy prices like Bane and a few others. Plus the only LCS remotely near me totally sux and if they even got these in. They likely want just as much if not more for them.

I had to open Croc too. He's that bad ass.

I understand needing to have the set... I'm just a little shocked by the price tag on Freeze.

Nice. I actually picked this up when it first hit shelves, then saw that no one was buying them so I returned mine figuring they were definite clearance material. Now I can go buy one.

Saw the SW Rebel Transport at my TJ MAxx as well, but I already have 2 of it from TRU.

I can't speak for the trailer, since I didn't open the one I had for a couple of weeks, but the front part is the same exact mold as the Walmart Exclusive Deluxe Prime.

Just got my Freeze yesterday, and ever since I dropped the $50 I did for him, I just feel....I dunno...dirty? If THAT makes any sense to anyone.

Well, I found this tidbit from Mint Condition Customs:

Quote:
Mr. Freeze is the second figure to be released by DC Collectibles (formerly DC Direct) in its Arkham City Deluxe figure line. He was actually released just this week, the same time as Killer Croc. A lot of fans have wondered, and rightly so, why a character like Mr. Freeze warrants a deluxe price, when he’s practically a normal sized character.

Last year, at New York Comic-Con, someone at the DC Direct booth actually explained it. It turns out that Mr. Freeze was too expensive to put under the basic figure SKU (stock keeping unit – a number or code used to identify each unique product or item for sale in a store or other business). Like everything else, toy lines have budgets. They have a certain amount of money allotted to them, and only have enough budget for a certain amount of SKU’s.

At the time they were working on the Arkham City line, they had the budget for two SKU’s. The basic figure SKU and the Deluxe figure SKU. Due to Mr. Freeze’s larger than normal size (his design dictates this, due to his freeze suit adding height to him), mixed with other elements such as his accessories, he just came in too expensive to be put under the basic figure SKU. So they were left with two options. Either cancel him outright, or place him in the deluxe line. Since they couldn’t just create a new SKU specifically for Freeze, or raise the price of him as a basic figure (they all have to be the same price under one SKU), those were their only options. And they did not want to cancel Mr. Freeze, since to many fans he was the best boss fight in the entire Arkham City game, and many fans have been waiting for a really good Mr. Freeze action figure. So they put him in the deluxe line and now here we are.

Many fans have been criticizing this decision though, thinking that DC Direct is just abusing the deluxe price, but if you look at every figure they’re going to be releasing in the deluxe line, Mr. Freeze is the only one arguably not a deluxe. If they wanted to abuse it, they could have just made every single figure in the line a deluxe. But toy companies are not out to alienate its market. That’s just bad business. I hope the above helps explain to some the decision to make Mr. Freeze a deluxe figure.
