News – Batman the Animated Series 6″ Figures Coming from DC Collectibles!

Earlier today, DC Collectibles revealed a slew of new figures and product lines coming in 2014 in anticipation for the 2014 New York Toy Fair. The most exciting of these reveals, at least for me, is the announcement of a 6″ line of poseable collector figures based on Batman the Animated Series and the New Batman Adventures! Fans have been wanting this for a very long time, and for a while we thought Mattel might oblige, but it looks as if DC is taking care of it themselves. So far they only have pictures of Batman from the New Adventures series, and Catwoman from Batman the Animated series, but they have said there will be more revealed at Toy Fair this weekend!

Custom Joker (Arkham Asylum) w/ Added Articulation DC Universe Action Figure – Created December 18th, 2013

<< Back to Custom Figure Archive


*** Head on over to my Ebay Auctions to see what’s available this week, or commission me if you’d like your very own custom action figure like this one. ***

I’ve always loved the design of the Arkham Asylum Joker figure, but being a DC Direct figure it was severely lacking in the articulation. I aimed to change that, so I took the existing figure and made him really poseable. I shaved away some plastic inside the shoulders and hips and greatly improved their range of motion. I also sliced the arms and legs and made some bicep and thigh swivels, and I popped apart the torso from the legs and made a waist rotator joint (that’s right, the original figure couldn’t even turn at the waist!). So now that the Joker can actually move, he’s ready take on the Batman as the Clown Prince of Crime!

With that said, DC Collectibles has unveiled a ton of new action figures and statues due to come out next year. Among them are figures based on Greg Capullo’s art style in the current Batman run, and something I’m very much looking forward to: Arrow TV series action figures!

We’re getting a two-pack of Arrow and Deathstroke based on their looks from the TV series in a 6.75″ scale. And there’s lots more cool stuff coming your way from DC Collectibles.

News – 2013 SDCC DC Collectibles Arkham City Hugo Strange Figure Revealed

Ever since the Arkham City toy line was announced, fans have clamored for a figure of Hugo Strange. He’s the penultimate villain of the game (mostly), so I would think he deserves a figure. Well it seems DC Collectibles agrees, and they’re releasing him as a 2013 San Diego Comic-Con exclusive. This may cause some fans to groan, since it’s not always the easiest thing to get a hold of SDCC exclusives if you don’t go to the show, but I’m sure the figure will find its way to fans that want it. This is definitely better than them not releasing the figure at all, and I can understand the decision to make Hugo Strange a 2013 San Diego Comic-Con exclusive.

News – New DC Collectibles Arkham Asylum Bane Figure, Arkham Origins Figures and more Revealed!

I know it’s been a couple of days since the reveal of the upcoming DC Collectibles Batman: Arkham Origins figures, but they just revealed a brand new Arkham Asylum Bane figure to be released, so I thought I’d put everything in this one post! Yes that’s right, good news for Arkham Asylum Bane fans. Many fans have lamented that figure, because for the longest time he’s been extremely expensive on the secondary market. Heck, I even sold mine a couple of months back, just in case DC Collectibles decided to make a new one. I guess I was right! So for those who missed out on him, you get another (better) chance. Bane will be in a two-pack with Arkham Asylum Batman later this year, and will be taller, and have lots more articulation than before.
