Collectibles Detective Comics

[Darth Maul]

I mean, there’s only so much you can do with a figure like this. Are the blood stains accurate to the film? Either way, I seriously doubt it’s in violation of anything.

 

[Darth Maul]

Well, I got on the waitlist. Never actually been on one before. Not even on Sideshow. I find it odd that you still have to go through a payment process. If nothing comes of it and I miss out on it, meh. I’m not paying $40 over their retail price just because it’s Muhkul Keetin Bats.

 

[Darth Maul]

The Mezco Bats sold out at BBTS. People really are stupid. They’re charging forty fat ones above retail. Forty. Are you people so damn hard up for some collectibles lmfao.

 

[Snake Plissken]

Did you PO from there? I'd always opt for a backup plan.

 

[Darth Maul]

Nope. I’m not paying that price. That’s almost double the price of a normal Mezco. At least the pricing on Mezco’s official site isn’t entirely terrible.

 

[Darth Maul]

My waitlist converted last night. That was quick.

All the idiots that are lining the pockets of certain BBTS staff are a joke. Sure, sometimes you can get imports cheaper than going directly through Japanese retailers and they have decent sales. But then, there are times where they are cleaaarly taking advantage, like ToyWiz.

 

[Snake Plissken]

ToyWiz should be burned to the ground.

 

[Darth Maul]

I still can’t believe they’re in business. They’ve been around for twenty years, as far as I can remember.

[Darth Maul]

Always thought that reskin was lazy. Never understood why they didn’t actually make a Batman Beyond outfit, instead of that travesty.

 

[Snake Plissken]

They could of taken the original look and modernized it without losing the entire flavor.

 

[Darth Maul]

I’m not really sure why, but none of the Arkham games really made me want figures. Maybe a good Catwoman, but meh. Now, throw some Hush at me and now we’re talking.

 

[RIDDICK]

LMAO, Hot Toys just don't wanna make good characters or good designs anymore...
It's not like their figures are that good either these days.

 

[Darth Maul]

That’s actually not really the fault of Hot Toys. That’s an actual shitty reskin in the game.

 

[RIDDICK]

I'm not saying it's their fault. But they ARE doing this. Is it forced upon them? I doubt it.

 

[Darth Maul]

They’re just rehashing a figure of a rehashed skin though. My issue isn’t actually with Hot Toys making it, although I’m not sure why they would want to make this particular outfit from the game in the first place.

A lot of people have brought up the Origins Bats and Joker. They could have opted for something like that, instead of this mediocre mess.

 

[RIDDICK]

The only rehashed parts of this new figure are accessories.
Everything else is brand new and a one off.

They could've made Asylum Bats to make up for that horrible BACity figure.
They could've made BAKnight Joker, since he was the only good thing about that game.
They couldn've made freaking Catwoman, for crying out loud!

And don't get me started with BAOrigins...

 

[Snake Plissken]

It’s not appealing to me at all. The Knight figure it alright but the AC version is a joke.

 

[Darth Maul]

Looks like a retooling of the Arkham Knight batsuit, just like the game. Completely boring and uninteresting design. Never used it in the game.

 

[Snake Plissken]

I used the Beyond suit in AC but not in AK.
