DC Collectibles Batman Animated Series Two Face (The New Batman Adventures)
Pros
Show accurate look
Nice range of accessories
Dual face sculpt done well
Cons
Very hard to stand on his own
Lack of coin (not sculpted into the hand)
Overall
Two face is another solid entry into this line. The first four including Two Face are very “Animated” in feel, they represent the era properly. Two Face’s old-timey gangster get up with the big suit and the Tommy-gun is still one I associate with the character today. The sculpt on the face is perfect, and the paint is pretty sharp on my copy, splitting it down the middle. The only problem I have with the figure is the super tiny feet, even tiny for this line. You will need that stand for long term posing, any slight vibration will put this guy on his back without it.
Check out some key shots and the rest below!

I don't think they are super fragile. I had one breakage, on one hand. The joint was tight, I wasn't thinking, snapped at the peg, which is tiny because the wrist socket is tiny due to design.
I was able to move him around other wise no problem. The ankle joints are loose for me, but didn't break.
They are on par with other DCC, NECA, Play Arts like figures. Be gentle, pay attention at first move of each joint, have some crazy glue handy in case, and you should be fine.

They are absolutely fragile. People have had figures break from simply removing them from the package.
And this is not a new developement. DCC's plastic has always been on the fragile side, but these figures, in part due to the nature of their designs, are incredibly thin.
Gorgeous, save for having to release the Kragle.

Updated with Catwoman!
Great pics! Catwoman is definitely my favorite out of what has been revealed so far.
I bought two each of Batman and Catwoman (and sadly had to sell one set, so mine are MOC instead of having one to open and one to leave sealed) and there's something I noticed about Catwoman that is worth noting:
The one I kept had perfect paint apps on the eyes, but the extra one's were way off from where they were supposed to go. They were partially painted on the sculpted eyelashes, while the eyelashes were above the sculpted area. This may or may not be a common problem, but if you order online then I would say it's a bit of a gamble. It wasn't all that noticeable until I looked up close, she just looked a little sleepier than the other one. Honestly, I probably wouldn't have ever seen it if I hadn't been looking at two of them side-by-side.
Not quite as noticeable as the Hitler 'stache issue on some of the Batmans, anyway.
Considering the extremely smooth, streamlined nature of artist Bruce Timm's character designs, with those tiny wrists and ankles, it's a wonder that DCC approved design and production of a set of figures with any articulation at all. It's a very ambitious decision, to come up with a way for those joints to move and swivel (at least a little) without spoiling the appearance of the figure. DCC deserves credit at least for trying and generally succeeding. The holes, gaps and fissures could be a lot worse.
These things look great to me. Fragility aside, these are the toys I wanted when I was a kid watching BTAS on tv.

these figures are beautiful. the good definitely outweighs the bad for me.
i'm used to seeing joints, so it's really no big deal.. i much rather have them and see them rather than not having them.
i just really love the style and the nostalgia factor is blown right through the roof.
Honestly, how many figures are there with no visible pose joints? Even toys I have with some hidden joints still have some visible ones too.
They look great I understand they have to have visible joints but those hip pin holes in the front look terrible.
I have to admit, I was disappointed with the initial reveal of BTAS Batman when I saw his cape was "pulled" back instead of fully draped over the shoulders, but seeing that TNBA Bats comes with two capes makes me happy.
Bought Catwoman from my LCS and used hair dryer to take her out just incase. Everything came out fine. For Wave 4 is Penguin or Batgirl the TAS figure?
Regarding your question, Penguin is definitely his original design, Batgirl is New Adventures, and Riddler is also using the original design.
Michael Crawford had his Catwoman's arm snap off at the elbow before he could finish his review, and tons of people over at the Fwoosh forums mention her arms and legs breaking. Not as common as Batman's problems, but it still happens.
I do have faith that they'll get the issues straightened out. This can't possibly be good for business.

All joking aside I do quite like all of their figures that I have, but these are some serious and all too common issues that should have been better looked into.
Wow, glad I decided to pass on them.
hmmmm bit scared to buy something worth the average of an marvel legends figure which breaks though i did love the animated series...
I hope they are releasing these figures to make money so perhaps they can make a blu-ray collection of the animated series, or fund young justice [ a man can dream]
I watched ShartimusPrime reviews and he mentioned overs who had issues like the ankle, he also recommended to heat the figures in his cat woman review, with a hair dryer to make sure the joints don't break. I guess shipping the plastic over the winter might of made it brittle thus having issues on smaller joints, so it might need a bit of warmth. depending on how they send it I'm guessing by air mail i dunno, So this might not be on purpose they thought when in production we should you plastic X because its cheap and reliable [coughs].
Mr. Freeze is up!
