Joker Strings Preview 2

Last week, we shared a teaser photo for a new DC Comics – The Joker “Strings” Statue coming from Geek X. The statue is a conceptual piece, which showcases a bust of The Joker controlling marionettes of Batman and Robin set in a Gotham City diorama display. Batman’s strings are broken, showing that Batman’s will is much stronger than Joker has realized. This is the second DC Comics collectible by Geek X, who previously announced the BXJ Statue, which featured a mashup bust of The Joker and Batman.

The folks at Geek X have sent over a new photo of The Strings Statue, giving us a look at the full statue. They have also provided a few additional details. The statue will stand just over 16.5″ tall. It’s a hand painted statue that is cast in polystone resin. While pricing has not been announced at this time, the statue is scheduled for release in the first quarter of 2020. Check out the updated photo after the jump.

Prime 1 Batman Arkham Asylum 005

This week, Batman: Arkham Asylum celebrates its 10th anniversary! The ground-breaking video game, and it sequels, have been some of the most celebrated comic book inspired video games of all time. Unlike many comic book games, Batman: Arkham Asylum didn’t follow any established comic arc, or film. The outstanding visuals, and excellent character designs took influence from a number of DC Comics stories, with Jim Lee’s art and the Killing Joke story arc acting as templates for the look of the characters, and tone of the game. Developer Rocksteady even brought in the iconic voice actors from Batman: The Animated Series such as Kevin Conroy (Batman), Mark Hamill (The Joker), and Arleen Sorkin (Harley Quinn) to reprise their roles. Add all of that to a fantastic story, appearances from some of Batman’s greatest foes, a number of Batman’s iconic gadgets, and great stealth heavy gameplay, it’s no wonder Batman: Arkham Asylum remains one of the best comic book games ever made. When it’s sequel, Arkham City hit in 2011, it expanded on a number of the great features. The biggest addition being an open world environment, allowing you to explore large portions of Gotham city.

In celebration of the 10th Anniversary of the game, Prime 1 Studio has opened up pre-orders for a Batman 1/5 Scale Statue based on his appearance in the second game, Batman: Arkham City. The statue stands at 21.5″ tall, as Batman stands on a gargoyle base inspired by the architecture from Arkham Asylum. Multiple interchangeable hands are included with the standard release. An Exclusive Version is also available, which adds an additional swap out left hand, and an interchangeable “angry” portrait.

Look for the statue to be released between August 2020, and December 2020. The Standard Version will carry a price tag of $449, while the Exclusive Version is priced at $499. As always, payment plans are available. You can check out photos, details and the pre-order links after the jump.

Multiverse Killer Croc Wave 128

The end is nigh!  DC Comics Multiverse from Mattel is coming to a close, and the last rounds of figures are dropping now.  Today we have a look at 2 waves* – The Multiverse Killer Croc Connect and Connect wave, also titled Batman 80th, and the DC Originals Wave which are ToyBiz tribute figures.  The Killer Croc wave consists of Dick Grayson as Batman, Alfred, Red Robin, Red Hood, KG Beast and Katana, with the CnC being a comic inspired Killer Croc.  The DC Originals tribute figures are Target exclusives in the US and consist of Batman, Joker and Poison Ivy.

The Killer Croc Wave is well done, one of the most well rounded selections Mattel has offered.  The winner of the wave is Alfred, not for engineering sake, though that is solid, but the fact it comes with 4 heads, all of which nail the likeness for the era it belongs to.  Runner up is Red Robin – he has true double jointed elbows and a streamlined tight sculpt.  If this was the route Mattel was going to go, Multiverse would have gotten real good, real fast next year.  Red Hood is a tad disappointing – his guns are molded into the holsters, even though he comes with gun holding extra hands.   His helmet is a tad big for the body too.  The rest of the wave is above average, great roster fillers.   To cap it off, a comic inspired Killer Croc is the CnC, and it is BIG.  And well done – colors, sculpt, articulation is all there.  I have a feeling this will be the Croc to match for a while.

The Originals figures – solid but not as good as they looked when originally shown at Toy Fair 2019.  Poison Ivy especially suffered being translated from proto to production level.  If you are looking for nostalgia, they fit that bill, but they weren’t my cup of tea.

Now, there is at least one more wave of figures that hit the proto stage – The Batman Ninja Joker CnC wave.  This had Black Canary, Hawkgirl, Simon Baz Green Lantern, Flashpoint Aquaman, Rebirth Mammoth, and a Riddler Retro/Originals figure.  Whether these will hit market before the license ends we aren’t sure.  Right now, no word and no solicitations are out there.

So, to potentially cap things off for Mattel’s Multiverse figures, read on to check out our gallery for these 10 figures with over 125 HD shots after the break courtesy of Mattel!
