DC Collectibles Thrasher Armor Batman Photo Shoot

Posted on January 15, 2015 at 2:23 pm by Tony_Bacala under DC Toy News, Random Photo Shoot

The Toyark is running catch up today with a figure out in limited quantities late last year, Thrasher Armor Batman from the Capullo Designer Series. He’s now getting a wider release, we have our copy, and he’s awesome. He first showed up almost a year ago at Toy Fair 2014, and ever since then I’ve been itching for him. I’m a fan of Batman and Transformers, robits and mechs in general, so mashing the two up in a big ass Batmech is almost too good. This armor comes from the Court of the Owls story arc where a team of Talon‘s got into the Batcave, so Batman jumps in this bad boy and goes to town. Check out over 50 photos of the Thrasher Armor along with our thoughts after the break courtesy of site sponsor Entertainment Earth!

DC Collectibles Greg Capullo Designer Series Thrasher Batman

Pros
Big
Sculpt is intricate
Paint is well done, capturing a metallic gritty look
Articulated multi-joint fingers
Maskless Bruce Wayne head under helmet

Cons
Articulation is good, but a bit weird

Overall
Overall, awesome. A big hulking mecha Batman, I can’t ask for anything else. The sculpt really shines with lots of cuts, grooves and details. Paint then matches that with lots of black and gray tones to bring them out. He looks like raw metal just sitting there. The articulation is good but weird in some spots. His legs have limited/no forward-backward movement, just outward. But he does have double jointed knees, limited rocker ankles, and spinners at the calf. So you can do some poses, just not as you are used to without the forward movement. Arms are similar, joint at elbow and spinners, plus limited wrist joint flex, but the suit keeps him from really moving the fist around. However, there are articulated fingers with multiple joints per finger, and they all move well without fear of breaking, all while weather painted. Waist spins and abs flex front and back. Really good, but as I said, just a bit odd with those limiting areas. This guy is a definite pick up now that he’s hit a second round of retail releases, so pick him up if you see him. Check some key shots below, the rest after that!

    One problem I always have with these big armor suit designs is: how do they fit themselves in there? I know in comic world we are supposed to suspend belief for the miraculous and what not, but I mean looking at this Batman and the Lex Luthor based on where their heads are their crotch under the suit would be at the suit's belt-line. So are they like assuming the fetal position in the chest cavity so they don't break their legs or something. I wondered the same thing about the Iron Monger from the first Iron Man film, it seems like there's no way to fit their legs in there comfortably. Questioning aside this looks like a neat toy but I don't care for the Bruce Wayne head underneath.

    I feel the same way about that sentiment. The old ML Hulkbuster has similar inconsistencies in design. Assuming that the body within the armor is spread eagle and of normal proportions, it becomes difficult to imagine locomotion while wearing the exo-suit. Never mind taking damage to any of the extremities at or near the armpit or groin. Western comic talent might want to study some Anime (specifically mech stuff) in order to create more symmetry between form and function....

    The armored batsuit visible in leaked images from Batman vs. Superman: "Dawn of Justice" is bound to appear as an action figure sometime late this year or early next, as the movie is scheduled for release March 2016, and it seems reasonable to expect some merchandise to hit store shelves before Christmas. One hopes that the new suit is anatomically realistic. It's widely expected to resemble Frank Miller's design from The Dark Knight Returns, since the movie script appears to draw heavily from that story for source material.

    Yeah, we will have to see how that's handled tho. DCC didn't really do MoS stuff, it stayed with Mattel, which is focused on kids right now. The Multiverse stuff isn't really collector grade IMO. Good, better than basic, but not like DCC stuff. So, even if BvS does get a cool mech, I can see the only options being a Hot Toys or Square like offering, one worthy of pick up anyway.

    I hope they don't make a beeline straight for the largest scale and top price point for collector grade stuff based on unrealistic expectations from previous seasons. Markets are already getting jumpy, and we haven't even got through January. It's going to be an interesting year. I hope some brands will continue to support a middle market.
