Burnie! I wonder how confused they'd get if they all had a convention. Or if they know which Burnie is which, like Smurfs know what "smurf" means. That would be Burnie-tastic

I gave in to my current obsession and picked up the Arkham City Bats. I didn't know these went for $25, no wonder I never gave them a second look. But my mind was already made up; even if it meant I had to dig through my car for change to pay the difference.

Thanks! It's a sweet fig, just a shame they're so overpriced. And I just realized I'll have to hide it when my nephews come over. If they see it there's no way they'll let me keep it from them.

He's a good choice for that. I'm starting to wonder how good of a choice he is for an Arkham version. He's the only one with half-decent articulation but the previous releases are bulkier and lighter gray which looks a lot more game-accurate. EDIT: After seeing just how little the arms and legs move on the other Arkham Bats' it's probably worth the innacuracy.

Pretty cool Batman fig! Although the eyes make him look unhinged. But, maybe that was intentional. A friend of mine came back from SDCC with this exclusive for me:

That is kickass! As for Batman, I agree, simple black pupils like the in-game model would be better.

Found an Arkham Catwoman! Ran into some of the recent QC issues I've been reading about since getting into these, her hands and one foot have stuck pegs, heated 'em but can still tell they won't move without breaking. A common issue with NECA and MU too, though usually one joint per figure. Kind of a bummer but not a huge deal as I'm fine with the current pose and the lack of ball jointed hips limited it to begin with. Just glad I knew to be careful ahead of time. Also slightly disappointed that the goggles aren't a separate piece, thought they were. Still made my day finding it, never been a huge fan like the weird dude on the SyFy hoarders show lol, but playing as her with her kickass moves in AC and Anne Hathaway's performance in Rises have made the character grow on me a lot recently. Edit: betterer pic

It's better with competent lighting but yeah the paint's not as solid as the packaging. Okay honestly, the figure looks a lot like Liza Minelli regardless. I'm still happy!

Batman's collagen injections work well with his chin implant, too. The scuplts look very good on both of those, but the faces suck.

That's why I think I'll have to get an earlier series Batman at some point. He hardly moves but he looks much better.

I've been comparison shopping to see if I'm dumb and I've found that the Play Arts Kai figures are lanky, floppy and weird. If my Lupo wasn't in a fishtank she'd be on the floor.

That sucks. They look so cool. I really want to get the Gray Fox figure from them, but $60+ is too much for a figure of that scale if it's floppy to boot.

Now her face looks too big for her head, and she still looks like she's been a member of AARP for a bit. I make fun because there's nothing I want now so much to go get it, so I have no hauls and I must lash out.

Hot Toys are for lame boys (and girls). Anyone who thinks a toy is worth $300 new and will only go up in valueblahblahblah makes me sad.

Some of the prices have plummeted, from what I saw. Still no clue to how someone will pay the asking price of these at times.. 600 for the Hawkeye? Better include a fantastic reach around or at least one line of coke for that price... The SSC Premium Formats for Lord Of The Rings are even worse...
