SDCC 2014: Square Enix Play Arts Kai Arkham Origins Batman Available to Pre-Order

Square Enix’s Play Arts Kai lines have been favorites of mine for some time, and I’ve been a big fan of their figures from the Batman series of figures that started with Batman: Arkham Asylum. We’re now up to Arkham Origins, and for San Diego Comic-Con this year, Square Enix has an exclusive color variant of Batman.

There’s been some price creep over the past couple years (like with most action figures), to the point where these seem a bit out of reach. At $99, this would be the most expensive Play Arts Kai figure I’ve picked up. The run is limited to one thousand pieces, half of which are available to pre-order at the Square Enix site.

This will likely be a fast sell-out, so pre-ordering may be key. Happy shopping!

DCUC Fire and Ice Headline Mattycollector June Early Access; MOTUC Extendar On Sale Monday

Early Access for Mattycollector’s June sale should be underway now, and if all goes according to plan they should have all product with the exclusion of the Club Eternia monthly figure, the Masters of the Universe Classics Extendar, available to subscribers. This would include the DC Universe Classics Fire and Ice and the DC Total Heroes deluxe Black Manta – although all three are labeled simply “DCU” – perhaps encourage collector adoption of the new Total Heroes line.

Ice is the quarterly Classics figure remaining from the Club Infinite Earths sub that didn’t meet the thresholds this year, and is smartly paired with Fire, who was the DC figure for August last year. It’s good news for subscribers – in March, hook-handed Aquaman was not available during Early Access and was a quick sell-out during All Access. I’ll be surprised if Ice remains in stock after Early Access – All Access for June opens Monday, June 16, at 9AM PST.

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?
