DC Direct June Solicitations

It’s a big day for action figures from DC – earlier, we had Mattel reveal wave 15 from DC Universe Classics, and here, DC Direct is revealing its action figure line for Batman: Arkham Asylum. Wow! It’s going to be a long wait until January.

BATMAN: ARKHAM ASYLUM SERIES 1 ACTION FIGURES

It’s a madhouse … and the lunatics are running the asylum!

After arriving on Arkham Island, Batman is greeted by Warden Sharp and security personnel. Although The Joker is securely strapped to a handcart for transfer to the deepest bowels of Arkham, he escapes nonetheless. This is going to be the worst night of Batman’s life. With The Joker free, inciting unrest among the inmates, Batman faces a riot from a cadre of Gotham City’s most wanted: killers and psychopaths who are screaming for vengeance and out for blood. Batman’s blood. His mission? Stop The Joker – and his accomplices – at all costs.

Welcome to the asylum. Arkham Asylum.

Scarecrow – 6” h

DC Direct to Announce Batman: Arkham Asylum Figures in Toyfare #156

bm.bw.arkham.asylum.jpg — DC Direct's Batman: Black and White Statue for Batman: Arkham Asylum

Fans of the Batman: Arkham Asylum video game have been clamoring for action figures, and DC Direct is stepping up to the plate. According to Previews, Toyfare #156, on newsstands on June 9, will reveal DC Direct’s upcoming line of Arkham Asylum toys.

At DC Direct’s show room at Toy Fair (the event in January, not the magazine), Jim Fletcher told us that they used the 3D materials from Rocksteady to produce their Arkham Asylum Bats in their Black and White statue line. So I’m confident that the figures will be look great – I’m just wondering how much articulation they’ll put into the figures. I hope it has as much as the awesome Arkham Asylum Batman custom by DoubleDealer.
