hellpop Posted December 3, 2014 Author Share Posted December 3, 2014 So I bought Catwoman a few days ago, and guess what? Her foot fell off while I was taking her out of the package! Seems to me that a BIG part of the problem is that they have twist ties down around the ankles; if they were to eliminate those they would probably take care of a lot of the breakage problems. Anyway, the store where I bought her from didn't have any extra, so I'll have to hit up another store. Maybe today, as I think Two-Face and/or Freeze are out.

Harvey and Victor are next week, this week is Capullo Catwoman and Freeze. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arnim zola Posted December 5, 2014 Share Posted December 5, 2014 I love that batman look and I was impressed by the sleek articulation, but I didn't realize it didn't actually come out like that. Too bad too, I would have liked these. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glantern Posted December 5, 2014 Share Posted December 5, 2014 In their defense, all of the other articulation is pretty sleek, and they've said they don't plan for any of the others to have this issue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Samwise Gamgee Posted December 10, 2014 Share Posted December 10, 2014 (edited) Back on topic... The first Two-Face review is up on youtube: They did a great job with his accessories, but I was expecting a coin flip hand like he's about toss it. He still looks great, though!

Twisted Two-Face Posted December 10, 2014 Share Posted December 10, 2014 That's gonna end up being my figure of the year. Naturally he comes out during Finals so i'll be waiting a week to pick him and Freeze up, but Harvey looks AMAZING. Hopefully all of the eyes are painted straight; the left eye always seems to be an issue for Harvey. Also, thank God he actually comes with weapons. I can't count how many Harvey's I've bought that don't come with a gun, or aren't even sculpted to hold one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glantern Posted December 10, 2014 Share Posted December 10, 2014 Speaking of reviews, I posted my review of Batman on my website. I ended up doing a bit of work on his face to get rid of the excess mask paint. It was just bugging me too much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Samwise Gamgee Posted December 10, 2014 Share Posted December 10, 2014 Yeah, I saw your review last night, Glantern. I can't wait to get mine! The last paragraph particularly had me even more excited. TNI has Freeze up now:http://toynewsi.com/news.php?catid=10&itemid=23859 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fwoosheyman Posted December 11, 2014 Share Posted December 11, 2014 Picked up Mr Freeze and Two Face today. No breakage or other issues. very happy with both and Freeze is just perfection. My favorite bat villian and character design. I don't want this line to ever end. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Samwise Gamgee Posted December 11, 2014 Share Posted December 11, 2014 I take that back. I must've seen it this morning before work. Anyway, I was very happy to see you review him as he's possibly my most anticipated figure from my most anticipated line. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I assume the first four figures were made at the same time, so they all had the same issue. I personally think it's a little less distracting on Freeze Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nessex Posted December 11, 2014 Share Posted December 11, 2014 it's certainly less noticeable against the black. And i'll be waiting for the TAS figures anyway, so hopefully it'll be sorted by the time they get around to the Freeze and Ivy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mentos888 Posted December 11, 2014 Share Posted December 11, 2014 just saw reviews for the mr. freeze and two-face action figures. glad they made them in the 6 inch scale! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glantern Posted December 12, 2014 Share Posted December 12, 2014 Stopped by my LCS and snagged a Mr Freeze. They didn't have Harvey, so I'll have to find him elsewhere. Freeze turned out really nice! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stack32 Posted December 12, 2014 Share Posted December 12, 2014 I've seen reports of breakage on Two-Face and Freeze, but it sounds like it might not be quite as widespread as with Batman, though I suppose that's only saying the quality could be awful instead of catastrophic. I really wanted to be into this line but I can't support a company that screws up this bad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TENIME_art Posted December 12, 2014 Share Posted December 12, 2014 I've wanted these figures since childhood only netted me the underarticulated Kenner figures. This sucks so much that they are turning out like this (though I haven't gotten a single one yet). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This sucks so much that they are turning out like this (though I haven't gotten a single one yet). Tenime, I'd say don't let the reports get you down. The two I've picked up didn't have any real issues (aside from the paint on Batman's mask). Given that Freeze and Two-Face seem to be improving on Bats, I think the line will be fine. In other news, MTV showed off series 4 today. I'm not liking Penguin, but the others look good Edited December 12, 2014 by Glantern Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Twisted Two-Face Posted December 12, 2014 Share Posted December 12, 2014 Batgirl's highlights are odd but i'm loving the rest of them. Well, Batman's chest is a bit....pronounced. Riddler and Penquin are fantastic though. Great wave. God, just look at that Batman. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
