Some Batman v Superman Figures Begin Hitting Stores

That cape looks horrible. Still want armored bats and grappel hook. Still wish these were 3 3/4 scaled

Damn it Mattel there's absolutely no reason these needed to be 6 inches. They'd have been perfect for 3.75.

Yeah this is usually the BS we'd get in our 3.75 lines.

Why does everyone want tiny ass figures? I bought this out of Kenner nostalgia, barely articulate and to go with the batmobile. I plan on putting a cloth cape on it once I figure how to remove the head.

aquaman looks small :D

Garbage, although I'm shocked they actually have knee and elbow joints. Pass.

I'm almost positive these are 3 3/4 figures...the packaging does not match up with the previous flash, green arrow, and joker 6" figures released....plus these are all looking like the gimmick 3 3/4 we have seen come out the last ten years

Well they are six inches, I bought it I should know. They are in line with the total heroes in size.

Back in my day we didn't give a hoot about articulation, just wanted a figure. Kenner was the best. Everyone today wants more, gimme more.

I want them as they are just smaller so technically I want less

What's the pricepoint on these?

In all fairness, I'm modestly impressed (depending on pricepoint) at what I'm seeing. The figures all seem to have modest articulation, there is only a couple "out there" figures (and Superman is actually trending into the passable range for me), and the packaging is nice. If scaled to 3.74/4", the quality doesn't look too far off from what Hasbro was producing for the first Avengers film.

The packaging tickles me especially given how much it apes the style of Hasbro movie figure lines circa 2008-2012.
Hell, given Mattel and Hasbro trends of the last few years, did they do a big designer or exec swippy swap or something?

Because they're different lines.
These are the mass retail Batman v Superman 6" figures, those others are the collector centric relaunch DC Multiverse figures.

These look pretty good for a retail toy line, a lot more detailed than I would have expected.

Aquaman looks a bit tiny, though. I know it's mostly because it's next to the ridiculously bulky armored Superman in that picture, but even Wonder Woman looks like she'll have more mass.

(Also I hope green colored gauntlet assault Batman isn't yet another huge spoiler)

$9.99

His gloves and emblem and boots are textured too

What the hell happened?
It used to be Mattel was the one giving us POS low POA figures at stupid prices, and Hasbro was giving us solid multi jointed figures at a lower price, but $10 for these figures are a great price for this product (in relation to other stuff on the market).

While not nearly as articulated, these figures fit nicely with Movie Masters and the new 6" Multiverse figures.

These look cheaply made and also more targeted at young kids... the multiverse line seems to be more for the adult collector imo.

I'll be definitely passing on theses....

Back in my day - 25-30 years ago - kids were disappointed that a figure didn't have at least 8 points. Dunno when your day was.

It's this wonderful thing called PROGRESS. It means that things get better, and we want that progress maintained. We can have hammers, so why settle with rocks(if you get what I mean)?

Because we like that smaller scale. When utilized properly, it is a GREAT scale.

Btw, try boil and pop or the hairdryer trick on that head.

They look as dreadful as the movie. How many versions of Batman do they need?

Let's see, there's one Superman, 4 Batmans, and 1 Khul Drago cosplaying as Aquaman.

Back then we were morons. And at the cost toys are at today, there is no excuse for there to not be boat loads of articulation.

I think we get it by now,you don't like the movie,let it go dude!
