I'm not a Penguin guy, but if there was ever a Penguin to get, that would be the one.

These look pretty decent, sculpt wise is there with neca and mcfarlane but what's the articulation like?

Scarecrow is getting pricey on ebay now too. $26-something. Yeesh. I remember those things sitting in my LCS forever. Still can't bring myself to pick up Poison Ivy, there's just something "off" about her sculpt.

I try to avoid DC Direct. Minus maybe select few that actually go to scale with DCUC.

Some of them are really bad (like Poison Ivy) but some have turned out great. Joker and Bane are really overpriced, but the quality of the figures kind of explains why. If you can find the Joker one for a good price, I would highly recommend it.

They were from the earlier Arkham waves. Poison Ivy doesn't look too terribly bad at first glance but there is little to no articulation. The Bane and Joker they released though are very well sculpted, and the price they go for now is probably a small indicator of that quality.

Joker and Secret Files Poison Ivy. Two of the best sculpts of these Figures IMO.

Yes, that is the DCD Arkham Asylum Joker I was referring to, and it is clearly the one to have if you want the best of the best. Where did the staff come from? The Poison Ivy you posted is quite nice, I may have to pick one up, assuming they're about $10 (I doubt it). Anyway, the DCD Arkham Asylum Poison Ivy is very bad, give it a look:



Her legs don't even bend, its like they decided at the last second to release it and figured no one would buy it anyway. They were right.

The cane came from Arkham Asylum Harley Quinn she still has her Gun. I felt it looked better with Joker. Poison Ivy is the DCD Secret Files version. I don't like Ivy looking Green so much. She will cost around $30.00.

EDIT: Here is one for $33.49 Shipped. http://www.ebay.com/itm/DC-DIRECT-LO...item2ebac5dcb9

$30, ah, no thanks. I think I'll stick to Batman's boobless enemies for now.

Agreed. Its too bad that they didn't give this figure the same effort and quality that the others received. Batman figures are blowing up on ebay right now.... seems like that is the hot thing to buy. Sucks for us though.

Ah I still gotta get Arkham Asylum Scarecrow...especially if the price is shooting up on him. I figured he would be one of the cheaper ones for quite sometime

Help me out here. I have the Arkham Asylum Series 1 Batman. How is this Batman different from that one? Are the suits different other than the symbols?
