Today's Hauls:











Penguin - He is pretty awesome outside of the random yellow that suddenly appears on his shirt. I just don't understand why it is there. I know it was there on the Super Powers version, but I never liked it then either. However, I must admit I find it ironic the holes on his feet are too big to allow him to be placed on a Super Powers stand. :

Batgirl - This figure is awesome. She actually looks like a girl. Her arms are not twigs, and because her arms are proportionate to her body, her legs do not look like they are really long. Plus, I like the new head on her. My only complaints would be that they got rid of the waist swivel, the ab crunch, and her bicep swivels are gone. Oh, and she has absolutely no accessories whatsoever. I don't care what your feelings are on the New 52, this is the Batgirl figure is a must own if you want a Batgirl that does not suck in figure form.

Batman - I haven't spent too much time with him, but everything seems pretty solid here. I think the metallic shine really brings out his costume more. His joints are nice and tight and I do dig the new cape. In fact, until the TDKR batman comes out, right now, this is my second favorite Batman toy Mattel has ever done (#1 still goes to the Neal Adams one). Like Batgirl though, he has no accessories. I am really sick of Mattel cheapening out on these figures just because it is DC. They got rid of the CnC pieces, which is fine, but they really need to start including more with them to make up for the lack of the pieces. There is no reason neither Batman and Batgirl should not have come with at least a batarang and a bat claw.
