DC Comics Animation - Figures & Collectibles Talkback Thread, Part 13

[Stu]

Hmm... I wasn't really that interested in these figures, but now that more of the original TAS designs are coming out, I might pick some of them up! What is wrong with them? Just curious... I don't know much about figures. What would be some examples of well made figures?

The designs of the models don't really allow for the cuts in the articulation. Some of the previous toys they did look ok, the Two-Face and New Batman Adventures Batman for example, but these just strike me as really ugly. A shame, as I still think Timms designs are probably my favourite when it comes to Batman.

Did any body get wave one of Batman: Animated Series Line yet ?

Roxy is mine when she comes out later this year.

First look at TNBA Scaercrow for wave five:

I was going to buy the Robin, Joker, and Manbat figures from Amazon but they've been unavailable... I guess I know why now...looks like they are delayed till March. Ask DC Collectibles: Quality Control, Sculpting Actors, New Products and More! | DC Comics

I haven't purchased any of the figures yet but I guess there's been some quality control issues.

The Catwoman figure is still available and only $20.65... maybe I will pick that up in the mean time (my interest is mainly in the B:TAS character design figures).

That article mentions that there will be more announcements at the Toy Fair... should be interesting to see what they announce (are they hinting at the B:TAS Batmobile there?)

 

[dmxx116]

I hope they something for Superman:TAS, Batman Beyond and Justice League/Unlimited for Toy Fair in the next few weeks.

 

[Yojimbo]

Wouldn't mind some love for Batman Beyond. I don't think Mattel ever completed the JLU Beyond members. Maybe just GL Beyond. Plus, it would be pretty cool to see them do a Batmobile Beyond.

Batmobile, Phantasm 2-pack and wave 5:

I'm so in on this line.

 

[Riddler]

Wow, very cool!! I wonder how much the batmobile will cost. Edit: ohh just noticed... $99.95 ... 24" long? Man, it's gonna be huge!


Well I'm very excited about these figures! Interesting that made the BTAS Batman into a 2 Pack!

Has there been any word on the release date for the wave 2 B:TAS figures? They were supposed to come out sometime this month, I wonder if that's still happening?

It's hard finding info. I asked DC on twitter and got nothing. I did notice on Big Bad Toy Store - the release dates changed from 'March' to 'early April'. That's all I got.

Okay. According to DC's August solicits,

Wave 3A releases in December, Wave 3B releases in September, Wave 4 in October, and Roxy Rocket in August.

 

[Riddler]

Thanks for the updates! Kind of bummed about the delays though.

You're welcome. Super frustrating to keep up with these set backs but they admit they want to put out a really great product so there's that.

 

[Riddler]

Saw this on the DC Collectibles Facebook page today...

Edit - They updated the image, I guess the robins were switched.

So I guess they are reissuing every figure that's been released up to this point...

Personally looking forward to those October figures.
