SDCC 2014: DC Collectibles Reveals New Batman the Animated Series Figures

SDCC 2014 DC Collectibles Batman the Animated Series

I’ve got more DC Collectibles to come, but for my last post tonight I wanted to share DC Collectibles’ figures from Batman: The Animated Series. Series 1 (Batman, Mr. Freeze, Two-Face, and Catwoman) and series 2 (Poison Ivy, Joker, Robin, and Man-Bat) were both present in what looks to still be hand-painted resin casts. There’s still a ways to go, with the first wave due in November and the second in December.

They also showed off four more figures, which I presumed to be series 3 – Harley Quinn in hand-painted resin, and Batgirl, Killer Croc, and Baby Doll in unpainted resin or 3D prints. The latter three don’t have any articulation cut in, while Harley looks to be as far along as her Mr. J.

DC Collectibles Gives Us a Closer Look at Latest Reveals, Including Batman: The Animated Series

Here’s a closer look at the recent video reveals from DC Collectibles, including the Poison Ivy statue, Cyborg, Stargirl, and the rest of wave 1 and 2 of Batman: The Animated Series.

Now that we’ve got pictures of the latest reveal, Man-Bat, I can see why people have been commenting on the limited articulation of the figure relative to the rest. Seeing as how awkwardly proportioned the character is in the knees, elbows, and ankles, I’m not sure how they could articulate the figure without it collapsing under its own weight all the time. What do you guys think?

Batman The Animated Series 1 and 2 Reveals - MTV.com

We’ve been oooohing and aaahing over the new line of 6-inch super-articulated figures coming from DC Collectibles for Batman: The Animated Series later this year. We’d previously seen the first wave, with Batman and Catwoman in detail and Two-Face and Mr. Freeze in digital sculpt form. In the latest reveal, MTV.com posted color pics of Two-Face and Mr. Freeze, and revealed three of the four figures coming in wave two. The fourth figure will be revealed by DC Collectibles on Friday.

The Gentle Giant-sculpted figures are due out near the end of the year. Wave one had been previously scheduled for a November release, and wave two is to follow on its heels in December. Any guesses who the final figure in wave two will be?

DC Collectibles Previews Two-Face and Mr. Freeze from Batman: The Animated Series Line

DC Collectibles surprised us at Toy Fair with their announcement of a new 6-inch line for Batman: The Animated Series, and shortly followed it with a closer look at the Batman and Catwoman figures from the first wave. At the time, they announced that Two-Face and Mr. Freeze would also be part of that wave – and here’s a preview of the digital sculpts and articulation breakdown.

I’ve been wondering how these will be received. For the longest time, the previous licensees (Mattel and Hasbro) produced Batman figures from animated shows in smaller scales, with a standard five points of articulation. Super-articulated and 6-inch scale is somewhat new ground – for an animated line, at least. Batman: TAS fans – are you psyched for these figures?
