on my figure i cut the collar of one of the capes because my fave episode was over the edge and in that episode batman takes his cape off in the fight with bane.
Great review, Anthony! My boyfriend is collecting this line so I've been reviewing them as he gets them too. I really like them all so far. Sure they aren't perfect but I think they're capturing the stylistic look really well, and it's awesome to see them at a 6" scale, with a least a bit more articulation than the old school animated series figures. Will you be collecting the whole line or cherry picking? Oh, and the "L" on the batarang is the fold. ;)
Hey man! They're bringing out TAS series Batman! Looks better then this one! Shoulders look abit smaller and more sculpt on the chest, hit and miss on that bit though.
I had the first release of the figure that's in your review, but his ankle just broke apart one day for no reason. I took some photos and e-mailed them to DCC Customer Service and told them about the problem, and they sent me one of the new updated figures as a replacement. DCC Customer Service is awesome, BTW. The re-release of this figure is much better than the original release. They have now covered up all the peg holes in the joints, and the gloves and cowl are molded in black plastic so you don't get the flesh tone showing through. Plus it's made out of much sturdier plastic. I'd actually recommend hunting one down if you can find it.
The shoulder articulation on this kind of upsets me. :/ Plus, the fact you can't keep his cape off, like he's been a few times in the cartoon. it's a neat look we don't see often, would have been nice if they pulled it off here.
Nice review Anthony my right ankle broke for batman and it broke on an angle so he can't stand up right anyways are you gonna get the new DC icons figures when they are realeased by DC collectables.
Man I would love to see what you could do with this figure if you customized it to your standards. If it had the missing articulation and some of the weird choices they made in design fixed, it could be a great figure.
None ya Business 16 Woah! that's super cheap I got mine for 1100 INR which is about... ummmmm... £13 and emmmmm..... $17(or so ), not as good a deal as yours but not as bad as his either😆
To be honest, I don't like batman and how big he got from Nolan's trilogy. I prefer characters like Aquaman, SHAZAM!, etc. ......but yet......I love batman TAS, well the original 3 seasons, new adventures had its moments as well, it holds a place in my heart. This figure, could of been better, but its alright
I don't think that horrible trilogy made Batman big lol. I think Batman being big carried the trilogy. I agree about the animated series. It definitely lost something when it switched over.
***** Well, I like batman begins, Dark knight, kind of aged on me a bit, dark knight rises, I freaking hate that film... So out of the trilogy, I only like begins, but thats me.
I believe the L on the Batarang is supposed to be the hinge where it folds in half. Great review.
Good review and great pics at the end. I'm not sure if I'll open this line.

Would love to see a animated superman figure line as well
they may do it if the batman stuff sell well enough
I think batman stuff will sell. They could even go as far to do a justice league unlimited figures

im getting the whole line of course lol. have you seen the tas version of batman? looks great.
One thing I've never understood, why does batman have tiny legs in animated series but HUGE legs in Batman Beyond?

It's a bit sad that the paintjob is sloppy. Especially such a simple shaped cartoon figure needs a crisp paint job.
The ankle on mine broke... Be careful, the joint plastic is quite brittle despite being a bit soft.
Indeed
great review Anthony. I wish they put more work into articulation, but this figure is very nice looking and fits that animated series style.
Nice review Anthony my right ankle broke for batman and it broke on an angle so he can't stand up right anyways are you gonna get the new DC icons figures when they are realeased by DC collectables.
Do you know Mattel is coming out with Damien Wayne
Can you do the 1000toys Hellboy?
As a fan of TAS this pick up was a no brainer for me. Love the figure. Not perfect but very close. Anyways thanks for the review Anthony.
Nice review! As a huge Batman TAS fan, this series is pretty awesome to me.
Thanks
