Re: DC Collectibles - Batman: Arkham figure series (Origins,Asylum,City)
Depends on what you want really. Some here collect everything and group them according to their respective games. Some just mix and match based on which characters they want to create a collective whole.
Personally I just buy what I want, specifically my most preferred versions of the characters, game continuity be damned. Admittedly AO fit most of my personal preference in terms of aesthetics so I picked up all of the released figures so far and intend to continue doing so should they release more. Nothing against the first two games but I do prefer AO's more grounded look compared to the hyper-realistic style of AA and AC. The first two games are great but most of the designs weren't something I'd want as figures really (folks, please don't shoot me).
Admittedly, I'm definitely keen for an AK Scarecrow and Two-Face, especially since AK seems to meld the hyper-realism of AA/AC with the grounded look and realistic detailing of AO.
Here here! I was already fond of AA Scarecrow, but throwing a shirt over him and adding a more realistic aesthetic akin to Origins actually caters to my preference a lot more.

I wasn't able to take pictures with my camera but I let my brother borrow mine for a review. It's over here on Youtube if anyone wants to check it out.

Hatter looks a lot better with it, gives the funky arm poses something to do.
Here are some more pictures. Also this figure is a ***** to stand up, so I didn't change the pose, sorry! Normally the cape is on level with the feet but either on my copy or this release the cape is moulded in a way where it sits higher, and just weights the figure down in the back. A real shame honestly, this is my second favourite Batman after Asylum Series 1.
Sadly most of the full figures shots came out bad, I'll reshoot some tomorrow. I'll also post some more too.
You can see most if not all the detail in this picture though, even the cool mud paint on the cape.
It comes with the Batman!

Its too bad they cheaped out and only painted on the battle damage. I'd almost preferred them to leave it off if they were going to be that lazy. Considering this is only the 42nd time they've reused that same Batman body, surely they had enough in the budget to use new battle damaged parts. Instead we got a new head and a clock.

Another 4 pack coming. All rehash origins figures
Comes with joker, black mask, deathstroke and batman. Bats comes with a newly sculpted hand and bat claw. Would post pics but don't know how too.

Just saw that, kind of annoyed that I'd have to rebuy all 4 just to get the gun accessory.

They could have at least sculpted a Sionis head, an open hand and gun for Joker. There isnt much they can change paint apps wise, and the open hand and remote claw for Batman isnt enough... Sigh.
I'm worried the Arkham line is at a point where things like this are what we have in store until Arkham Knight.
DCC should just make a new line with the three previous games under one banner. We can get mixed waves of new City and Origins figures, and if they decide to make more Asylum stuff. I know TAS/TNA are going to be the new golden child for DCC but there is still a market for Arkham figures. They're some of Diamond's best sellers.

That's really weak. Especially since I already have an extra Joker and Black Mask that I did head swaps on. They could at least to THAT much
If Black Mask doesn't have flesh around his eyes, it will be an improvement at least. Hopefully the suit won't have sloppy stripes either.

Nice! Hatter looks great with the clock accessory. Looking forward to adding that to my Hatter figure.
As for the new 4 pack - pretty much agree with the sentiments of everyone else here.... So frustrating that they added a new accessory and hand sculpt to that Batman figure. The completest in me really wants the accessory but can I justify buying a 4 pack of re-releases just for that? Right now I'm not sure, but time will tell I suppose. If the Batman figure has a slightly different paint deco (more of a contrasting black like the recent Neca 1/4 figure rather than the brownish-grey DCC used) then I may me more tempted.
What's worse is that the upcoming 3-pack with Copperhead has Deathstroke and Joker in it too. Granted, they're a bit more 'variant', but that's still the same characters again for the 4 pack.
Oh well - it's still a great deal for anyone that missed out on the first wave!

I can only hope we get a real third wave of Origins during SDCC this year, as the constant 'variant' packs are getting out of control. While I do find this Copperhead pack useful, the others are downright irritating. I'm gonna buy them, but more than likely give the extras to a friend of mine.

Yeah, I'm done with this line. I passed on the newly released Two Face and now the Rabbit Hole Batman. I just saw it at my LCS and the painted on battle damage is lame.
Maybe AK will change my outlook on this line, but either way, I'm done.

I just wish they would finish the handful of characters remaining to be made before doing the revision waves. I want a shiva, electric guy (forgot his name) and calendar man! Anyone I missed?
