Batman SDCC 80th

Time for a quick look at a set from SDCC we didn’t get a chance to shoot before the show – the Mattel DC Comics Multiverse Giant Size Batman Box Set. This is a set of 4 Batman figures, all the same mold, in different wacky color schemes all coming straight from the comics. On top of the 4 base Batmen, it comes with 4 additional accessories that allow you to turn the base Batman into 4 MORE obscure versions from comic lore. And since they are all the same mold, you can utilize them on any of the 4. It’s a well done crazy set, especially for those that have a deep Batman shelf and are looking for something different to mix things up. One of the highlights is the Bruce Wayne head, it’s a great rendition that can be used on other Batman figs for sure assuming the pegs fit. The packaging is also top notch, outer and inner box both well constructed, the figures display well inside, and it features great artwork throughout.

We’ve run the set, check out 70 HD images after the break courtesy of Mattel!

Multiverse Wave 12 999

Time for another round of DC Comics Multiverse from Mattel as we march to the epic conclusion of the line! Wave 12 is the Batman Ninja wave and consists of TV Black Lighting, Rebirth Jon Stewart Green Lantern, along with Titans Nightwing, Starfire, Beast Boy and Wally West (red hair) Kid Flash. The Collect N Connect is Batman Ninja. All are in 6 Inch scale and feature Mattel’s recent levels of articulation which is very solid – double jointed, swivel cuts, rocker feet and the like. Paint is solid for a mass release retail figure on them all, with Black Lightning getting a more complicated sculpt and paint application to match the TV show look. The rest are simple by design and executed appropriately.

Batman Ninja however really shines, he has ornate sculpt and paint to match head to toe and a rubberized cape that moves with posing. Articulation is great allowing for a wide range of elbow movement to compliment the sword. While it isn’t as refined as import versions already on market, it is a really nice figure in hand all together and worthy of attention. IMO, he’s just about the right for the character being a secondary option that only some will be into. The only downsides are that the cape can not be removed without losing the head, and the sheath for the sword does not attach to the body.

All in all a solid wave, especially for the Titans love. These guys are out now, hit our sponsors below along with sites like Amazon and eBay. Read on to check out over 120 HD images of the entire wave thanks to Mattel!
