Depends on how tall you feel the joker is. for 1/18 scale 4.21 inches would be 6'3".

snake5289 07-13-2014 04:23 PM

That's how tall I'd figure Batman and Superman are. I think Joker should be a bit shorter than that. About 6' or so.

Grippen 07-14-2014 04:06 AM

Any news on the DCC Injustice Batman and Joker pack?

Haven't heard anything new in a while. They were supposed to come out this month, but it suspect they've been pushed back as I've not seen anything about them. I guess SDCC will tell us more.

snake5289 07-14-2014 07:01 AM

I think they're supposed to come out next month. I'm not a 100% on that though.

trebleshot 07-14-2014 11:22 AM

Still on the hunt for Devito Penguin, Reeves Superman and Pfeiffer Catwoman. The only DCMV figure I've seen lately is a leftover Deadshot. Everyone else seems to be sold out. :(

According to the DC Wiki, Joker is 6" even. But we could always pretend the SpruKits version is wearing lifts. ;)

tlasjr 07-15-2014 05:03 AM

I received the Joker and Superman level 1 Sprukits yesterday.
I am less than impressed. More details later. Basic summary is that its a model of an action figure.

And two of the three theatrical jokers were taller than batman. Keaton/Nicholson being the exception and also the shortest pair.

Nymesys Prime 07-15-2014 10:26 AM

Has anyone seen the armored Arkham Batman or the Frozen Freeze Batman? hadn't seen the first one in a few months never seen the second

I think I only saw the armored Batman once or twice months ago, and I'm not sure which figure you mean by "Frozen Freeze Batman". I'm guessing it's one of the Power Attack figures? I haven't seen any of those, other than the Clayface set and gimmick figures, in a couple of months.

Autobot_Goldbug 07-15-2014 08:31 PM

I saw the Multiverse Armored Batman just last week.

Thanks for taking one for the team! :) I look forward to your review and any pix (and comparisons) you can share.

thewriteguy 07-16-2014 02:23 AM

4" equals to 6 feet?
 
I know this may be pedantic and picky, but I've always thought (or wanted to think) that 4" would maybe equal 6 feet in real life.

For example, just glancing what's sitting on my desk: the Bale Batman fig measures to be exactly 4" (right up to the tips of the ears on the cowl). While the Ledger Joker is slightly shorter (because he is hunched).

So these SpruKits would be way off scale. They sound to be closer to the 4.5" height/scale, yet still fall literally short to them. These SpruKits fall between the two scales.

Personally, I don't think they should be counted as 3.75/4", for "purity" sake. :)

Well, pedantic or not, that's exactly what 1:18 scale means: one foot equals two-thirds of an inch. So a six-foot-tall human in two-thirds scale would be four inches tall.

I wouldn't say way off. One-fifth of an inch (0.2") is a really small amount - about 1/2 a centimeter.

I'm curious how accurate those Amazon listings are, since other vendor sites are listing them as 4 inches. Maybe tlasjr can take some measurements of his Level 1 kits and let us know.

That's up to you, of course.

As far as this thread is concerned, we include any figures that are close to 1:18 scale (between 3-5" in height, usually), since different companies tend to vary on the actual scale of their figures, even between toys within the same line.

tlasjr 07-16-2014 09:19 AM

Ill tske some pics and comparrison shots tonight. They are def more model than action figure
In order to move the arms you have to pull them out of the socket, move them and pop them back in. Thats actually in the instructions.
And it doesnt look like the figures are the same scale. The joker is taller than supes.

tlasjr 07-16-2014 10:12 PM

a couple of comparative shots and the manual showing that you have to pull the arms out of the socket to move them

Yikes. Yeah, that's a shame. Superman's sculpt looks great, but he's tiny. The fact that they're so wildly out of scale with each other likely means I'll never buy any of these.

Thanks for the pics!

305Batman 07-17-2014 11:23 AM

Completely shocked to see these at Kmart of all places! They had Joker,NU 52 Batman,NU 52 Superman,a Gundam looking robot and TDK Batman,MOS Superman is on the back of the box but wasn't there,they also had some bigger ones,Level II I think,Halo Master Chief(?) and Arkham Batman.

It's nice to know that b&m stores are getting them in. How much were they selling for?

305Batman 07-17-2014 05:41 PM

There were no price tags,not getting any so didn't bother checking on price.

thewriteguy 07-18-2014 02:06 AM

Weird about those size comparisons. It appears that Superman could be 4", but the Joker is larger and out of scale compared to Supes.

Could these be easily modified to make them function as traditional action figures?

You could modify the arms so they dont have to be dislocated every time they move but the plastic Is definitely model plastic, lightweight, very rigid, all the body parts are hollow. l was bright enough to buy two of superman. Maybe over the weekend Ill open the box and take pics of the unassembled kit.

Too bad. I was reallly looking forward to these kits. I think once the eyes are painted superman will look better than anything since microman superman but it just feels cheap.
Definitely not for kids. I used glue and there are still trouble parts.

It seems like whenever anyone tries combining action figure and model it skews.toward what that company normally makes. In this case models

Nice pics, Goldbug! I like that Reeve head on Xavier's body. Where are the glasses from?

Also, how hard is it to pop the heads of these guys?

Good questions. I was thinking of an Xavier body for the Michael Keaton head

Henry Jones Sr. glasses

The Reeve head was difficult to get off. I had to warm it up with a hair dryer. Then you can't place it fully on the Xavier body because you wouldn't have a neck. It somewhere in between.

I don't have the Keaton head. However Batman's head comes of easy. I think maybe the Keaton head could work fine.
