Thought the Retaliation drivers sucked?

Well get a load of this:

It's like it's 1978 again. Glorified Happy Meal trinkets.

what in the hell? I guess they are really doing their homework on the idea that kids will open the toys say cool for 5 minutes and chuck them in the toy box for summer's yard sale fodder. SO why not save money on production costs.

my god these are hideous.

 

[K-Tiger]

Yeah, I'm not seeing any redeeming qualities.

 

[The Ewokhunter]

Yeah, I'm not seeing any redeeming qualities.

 

[Ctrl_Z]

what in the hell?.

This was literally my reaction to these.

 

[Cloud Strife]

Good thing I wasn't planning on buying any!

 

[pcsguy88]

death of the line!

 

[darthdre758]

Looks like the Green Lantern guys were put in charge of TDKR as well.

 

[Dropshipbob]

When was the last time they actually made a good Batman figure?

 

[K-Tiger]

Mattel? I'd say never, but there was a couple in the last few years that could be considered "good".

 

[darthdre758]

Aside from the Movie Masters ones?

Uh...Mask of the Phantasm?

Was that even Mattel?

 

[K-Tiger]

Nah, Kenner was still making them in those days.

 

[nacho]

Some of the DCUC figures were pretty nice, but they're 6". The closest thing we've ever gotten to a tolerable 3.75" Batman was the Microman figure put out a few years ago. Certainly Mattel has never made a good one in that scale.

 

[NSA]

Wow! What the shit!

I think Ewok may be on to something though, the tradeoff between time spent with said toys vs the material outlay on 'features' is likely not boding well for us.

I guess we can blame ADD kids on this. Curses.

 

[Monkeywrench]

those do look like ass, however I don't think Ive ever seen a decent Batman figure

 

[Dropshipbob]

I have the Microman Batman figure, it's really nice in that it has kick-ass articulation, decent detail and plenty of gear. But it suffers from the same problem that most Microman figures do when compared to most other 1:18th figures, they are on the puny side. A little more bulk and just a titch more height and they would be perfect.

absolute dog shit...i was hoping they would do something cool with bane,what a let down.

 

[crowncoke]

Can anyone say Batman Beyond?

Not redeeming at all, but WHEN its clearance, it might be worth looking at

I'm not sure why you guys are singling out this line. Every single DC line in that scale has had that level of articulation since the 90s. It has never changed. They're about 5 inches tall. Every Justice League, Green Lantern, and Batman toy in that scale is the same. Always have been.

 

[Fled74]

All but two of the 3.75" DC figures I've seen have been shit.

 

[Meddatron]

Most of the Superman/Batman public enemies figures were good as well as a few of the 75th. The ones done in the new articulation before the line died. My favs are Deathstroke (awesome figure), Martian Manhunter, Yellow Sinestro, Earth 2 Robin. I like the Superman and Batman from the PE line

 

[Goldbug]

These are 3.75 inch not 5 inch.

Yeah I don't think he is bad compared to the others.
They also released it single carded & that one isn't as tan.
So yeah Mattel was on the right track & then the Green Lantern line happened.
