DC Direct 13" Batman Beyond

[Ven]

I actually liked batman beyond.. and I know for a FACT medicom could do this character justice.. I could imagine that they used the "superhero" body.. like comic spidermans.. I could imagin it.. a suit like medicom spawns would work PERFECT.

Very True dude, Medicom WOULD rock at making this

Wow, that' is bad. Pass.

I loved the show and the character concept, I even did a custom in the 9" scale, but the design doesn't translate well to real life. This would probably the last character after G'nort and C'hp that I'd want to see in the 13" line.

But that said - they really took it to a new level of epic fail. The head doesn't evoke the animated character in the least, the wings are wrong and he shouldn't be on the skinny body. It does look like the suit is shiny, which it should be - but otherwise...

I think they attempted to put too much detail into the headsculpt or something. Ick.

No, they just failed.

DC Direct's next 13" figure revealed....uggggghh.

I don't care for it at all based on this picture.

So when did DCD join forces with Tonner?

Just shameful

Have to agree with you... Medicom really could have made this design work. While I wouldn't buy this character, I'd love to see them tackle a Timm Batman figure.

No, they went the opposite way of Tonner, which normally smooths out a portrait to make it more doll-like. IJ is right - they attempted to put too much detail in the head sculpt and make it more realistic - but the design of the character fights that kind of representation on every level.

Small hands, terrible looking costume (with dorky wings) and weak body... aside from the head it screams Tonner to me.

But I will agree... the extra detailed head is a odd one Doesn't even look close to right.

That doesn't really make sense - Tonner excels at costuming - that's arguably what they do best.

Why does everyone hate Tonner!?

Why does everyone hate Tonner!?

It's a doll company that makes Barbie-like figures?

So everybody hates Mattel?

Just calls them as I sees them...

Small hands, weak body and costume.

Hmmm.. if that's a Tonner doll tbh I think the suit actually looks pretty good. Better than this DCD Batman Beyond suit. Not saying I would want it, just saying from that pic the Spidey suit looks pretty good.
