    Don't really care for brown suit Wolverine always preferred tiger stripe but BTAS/TNBA? Seems pretty interesting would like to see the whole sculpt. That being said, WE'RE THIS CLOSE TO A TERRY MCGINNIS BATMAN LETS GO MAFEX!!!

    They keep announcing figures in pairs, but very rarely have they managed to deliver 2 in a single month.

    I'll get the Wolverine if the torso and shoulder parts have actual, sculpted-in borders where the brown meets yellow or flesh. I can't stand the painted-on costumes of other mass retail lines. Unique, limited use sculpts are the whole reason I collect MAFEX.

    Guaranteed that after Age of Apocalypse Magneto is released, they will announce a more classic version.

    I think I'll pass on the Batman. Just a little too simplified and stylized for my taste.

    Hold up Mafex is actually now doing Batman TAS/TNBA figures?! Well shoot count me in! Especially if they make both designs of Catwoman in figure form in the future.

    Wolverine is also sporting curved shorter claws and a new open mouth screaming head!

    Not to mention the iconic brown costume. It's the Wolverine I've been waiting for!
    Love seeing the foray into BtAS. Gonna blow that other Animated Batman out of the water.

    It's a shame that they went with New Adventures over BTAS.
    Will probably still buy Brown Wolverine. It's too bad that there won't be a Tiger-stripe redo with the curved claws.

    They're going to do the TAS version since they can re-use the arms and legs and probably the head. And I can see them eventually doing a striped Wolverine 2.0.

    Yup I'm down with these, Animated Batman is an instant buy... I really hope they do more characters from the show. This is my preferred Wolverine costume... so I guess he can go with my Comic style Spider-man and Venom?

    I'm just thinking that the forehead needs to be rounded or softened instead of being sharply angular.

    Yeah, that looks messed up. His forehead should slope steeply like a caveman's.

    The Bruce Wayne headsculpt is nice. The chest and cowl are both too blocky. Kinda on the fence now.

    Ah so it comes with an optional plastic cape that goes over the shoulders along with a cloth one.

    I'm that weirdo that likes the new Adventures of Batman design just as much as the original design. Just something sleek about it and I vastly prefer the look of Bruce Wayne compared to the early episodes.

    Trying hard to keep my collecting simple but that Batman is gonna' be hard to resist. Really hope they do some BTAS designs going forward, though: I really didn't care for how Catwoman and Joker looked in TNAB but would love to see them along with Harley Quinn, Two Face, and Clayface in their Animated Series designs.
