Getting into this line post-release is stupidly expensive. I didn't get in on the line when it first dropped because I hated (and still do) the DCC articulation scheme. My feelings on that haven't changed, but neither has my love for BTAS and it doesn't seem we're going to be getting anything better for the foreseeable future, so I want in. I'm the target audience for these re-releases. Not gonna get them.

Scarecrow's shading is actually pretty cool, Mr. Freeze's is acceptable, Robin is bad, and Batman is awful. The prices are insane. The BAF seems designed for completists of the old line which is a certain kind of smart (getting people to buy variants of figures they already have to get the new characters) but does little for "casual fans" just getting in or non-completists (like moi) who don't buy characters they don't like, and centers the line squarely on the narrow subset of toy collectors who like BTAS and already have the DCC releases.

I don't know what they could have done differently to keep the line interesting to everyone, TBH. Better paint apps would be a start for sure, but maybe keep going the multi-pack route they started? Perhaps sensible pairs of desired figures (Batman & Robin, Harley & Joker, Batgirl & Nightwing) with new colorways/accessories, that could include pairings with the new figures. Maybe a dio series that lets people build up art deco rooftops and themed villain hideouts that would let people add-on to their collections in a more substantial way than just a single new figure?
