I, the almighty Shin Densetsu walked into a Target almost done with its reset. The might Shin Densetsu's mere presence commands such a thing.
Anyways, the employees had toys from all genres laid out. Samurai Imaginext? SAMURAIS and NINJAS? Oh god! Will buy later. So I went into the action figure aisle, what some you mere mortals here at Toyark would call a second home. Mine is Asgard. Anyways. Finally saw the Batman Legacy 2 packs that some of you HERE spotted last week. I was eagerly looking forward to these. See, I skipped Movie Master proto batsuit Bruce because I knew he was going to be packed with Gordon, and I wanted the Gordon figure too. Also love the Arkham game so a Batman from that was a must. 2Face too? Icing on DAT cake. WRONG. While Batman is the best non4H 6" figure by Mattel, and the Movie Masters are good, 2Face is disappoint son. Why? WTF no ball jointed shoulders! HULK SMASH!!!!!!!!! Either there are no outward joints or this thing has them but is severely limited. Hard to tell since the coat is rather thick. Ugh. Mad disappoint. Very disappoint. Also the sculpt is bland. Best 2Face figures are the 4H DCSH/DCUC and the Movie Master. This one was sculpted inhouse by Mattel..and you can tell.

I agree, not going to pay 30 bucks for a decent batman and a decent two face.

Up here in Canada they cost 42$ (Over 46$ with B.C taxes), Tiberius gave me call asking if he should pick them up when he found them in Toys R Us. Good thing I talked him out of it.

Main selling point is Batman, this set aside from that is disappointing.

i saw the set a couple of days ago and said, no way is it worth $30. maybe mayyyyybe $20. mattel's products are getting more and more overpriced. they spend more time on the box than the figures nowadays. the hell gives a darn about box the box? blister pack them and price them for $13 each and they will sell a lot more.

I almost bought all three legacy figures at Target today. Does anyone know if they suck too? Looked solid to me.

The Batman is solid (face is dumb though imo). Mr. Freeze is solid I believe (stupid colours though imo again). The Joker is REALLY good.
