Next up in our DC Collectibles Batman the Animated Series galleries is another rogue – The Mad Hatter Jervis Tetch! Mad Hatter is ripped right from the Animated Series episode Mad as a Hatter, showing his toon origin story and eventual show down with Batman. Accessories include a playing card themed control device for the gauntlet seen at the end of the episode and an similarly themed axe. He is #21 in the series, due to drop soon! Let’s take a look at another villain after the break!
DC Collectibles Batman The Animated Series Mad Hatter
Pros
Faithful to the show’s look
Ball jointed rocker feet
Cons
Limited leg articulation
Overall
Not all of these figures lend themselves to full range articulation, and Mad Hatter is one of them. His lower half is restricted by the closed jacket. Most of these guys aren’t going to be in super duper action poses anyway, just standing with their bases in a line up, so that’s ok IMO. His overall look is dead on to the show from the staple top hat to the goofy smile. For filling in the ranks and building the villain line up, he’s on point.

First up, Scarecrow!
Batman TNBA Scarecrow from DC Collectibles Gallery - The Toyark - News
He's looks creepy as hell in this shot:
Nice lighting there to get the shadows like that.
I still wish they actually painted the shading on his face since in the cartoon he always had it. I might get this, depends on when I find it compared to other releases.
I'm happy that fans of this version will be getting what looks like a nice figure, but I will always prefer the Animated Series designs. I hope they eventually get around to an Animated Series version of Scarecrow with alternate heads to represent both of his masks from the show.
Full on,100% MEH! Waiting on BTAS version. Aside from Freeze and Croc,the TNBA villain designs are pretty crappy.
Beautiful figure and design. I love the BTAS design, but to me this one blows it out of the water. I see the list has Nightwing listed as available...did I miss something? I thought I was caught up.
Con: They didn't paint shadowing on his face.
I agree with what most people are saying. Never really cared for the New Adventures designs. For those that do like this version, probably realize his face never really looked like this. Aside from that, he's a cool figure. Black paint would go a long way with this sculpt.

Batgirl is another where I prefer TNBA look over TAS. Scarecrow might be the only character who actually had three different looks throughout the entire show(s). His original was probably the most typically comic accurate, his main one for TAS had a sneer but I don't like how the straw hair came out on it, and his TNBA was the creepy preacher. My favorite is the creepy preacher, I like the proportions being kinda monstrous and Jeffrey Combs' voice was good for that more monotonous, scientific voice. Second is the debut look as it's more in line with his usual comic attire, and last is his TAS main look. Henry Polic's voice was good too but it focused more on him being a coward himself and I always imagined Scarecrow feeling in charge while he was in costume, only cowering and revealing his true nature when he was actually defeated.
Mad Hatter is up!

Will be doing some of the recently released items over time. Have Batman, Batgirl, Riddler, Penguin on the to do list.
Those teef
Even with that big toothy grin,I love the Mad Hatter
What a great time to be a BTAS fan.
I think the two pack with Batman and the Phantasm are missing from your list....
These are really cool looking figures, but I am so annoyed that Harley Quinn keeps getting pushed back. It makes me think there were really bad issues with her and that is causing the delay. She's the one figure from my preorder that is holding back the delivery.
So I guess he just has no leg articulation cause of the coat, yeah? Bugs me that he gets useless, yet entirely full ankle movement, yet Joker didn't.

Also added the Joker / Harley 2 packs, of which there are 2. One with Joker in a tux, and one with Harley in a skirt.
I'm guessing they decided to release the 2 pack with Joker, and decided to hold Harley so they could run the mold for the 2 pack and singles at the same time. Maybe, just speculating.

Damn, didn't know about the Harley/Joker two pack...I'll definitely get the one with Harley in a skirt...not sure about the other.
I'm focusing on The Animated Series figs only - any idea of what the Phantasm/Batman has for accessories? I skipped picking up single packed Batman since I figured they'd share same accessories with 2 pack Bats...
I'm guessing Mad Hatter will be out in the next couple of weeks.
Some catch up - Penguin, Riddler, Poison Ivy!
Love the Penguin figure. It looks so perfect.
I think Poison Ivy could have had a way better face. Her expression is so blank/bored. It doesn't really take points off I think, it just could have earned more points with a better face. Riddler on the other hand has a great smirk but I don't like the character much.
