    The Joker looks off to me as well. The facesculpt looks like Killer Croc.

    Anything above $24.99 (which is MSRP) in the United States is a store ripping you off.

    Amazon has them all around $25 with some being cheaper.. Joker is right at $20 and Robin is under $20.

    My comic shop sells them at the $24.99 MSRP but I get a 20% discount for having a box so pick them up at $20. Otherwise, I'd be shopping at Amazon.

    Played around with Figuarts Batman today. I really dig it! And man, are the points on his cowl and gloves sharp!

    Picked up the Arkham Knight Red Hood the other day at GameStop. I had no idea it was a GameStop exclusive and that it was out already.

    I got mine last week. Really excellent figure. Both of the AK figures I have so far (Harley and Red Hood) are great.

    Picked up the Mafex 2.0 TDKR Batman at my local comic shop. So far zero QC issues and the paint on the figure, headsculpt, and accessories are excellent. I am loving the wired cape, I am having a lot of fun so far with it. Took a few pics:

    yeah, the closest gamestop that had the figure in stock was in the next state over, so i had to order it from their website.

    i really like the figure, i love the metallic helmet. and his guns are pretty awesome.

    i know a lot of people don't like the red hood on the figure, but i think it looks pretty awesome.

    the arkham knight batman itself is pretty cool but i wish he came with a couple closed fists.

    i can't wait for the play arts batman and arkham knight to come out. i think their version of the arkham knight batman looks the best out of the entire arkham series.

    every time i go into my local comic book shop i'm really tempted to pick up the figuarts injustice batman, i really love figuarts figures, but i haven't been able to pull the trigger. i think i may have to pick it up.

    i really wish the mafex joker looked a bit better, i'm just not really a fan of the head sculpt.

    Injustice Batman is my only figuart and he's really cool. I hope they do a Nightwing too from the game, but this far out, it's hard to expect it.

    Do you think they'll keep it going with characters from the game. Hoping for Hawkgirl, Green Arrow and much much more! A boy can dream right?

    So I collected Arkham Asylum figures from DCC and then skipped out on City and Origins. Bought the first wave minus Harley (totally going back for her now) and they've made huge improvements. Even better than their Capullo figure in regards to articulation. Really impressed.

    DCC doesn't make 6" Arkham figures so if they made the Batmobile it would be in 7" scale like rest of the figures.


    Yeah, the AK figures are the best and most articulated figures in the whole Arkham line. The better plastic and no clear joints are a huge point in my book. I kind of hope that we get updated versions of some of the old AA/AC figures like Poison Ivy, Zsasz, etc.

    It's usually the other way around.

    Those bat-eyes are wonky as fuck -- they should have picked a different figure, off the line, for the photo-shoot.

    I like that Cavill Superman, but since I already have the MOS figure, I'm not sure I need/want another.
