Official Batman/DC Figure Thread...

when I get MLs, DCUC or TF Classics/Generations They literally burn my hands until I add them to the display......I just cant wait to see how they look.

Just ordered the Total Heroes Black Manta from Matty.

I think the DC Collectibles Arkham City line is bigger than DCUC as well, but don't quote me on that. There was the Hush version of R'as with an EXCELLENT head sculpt that would probably mix really well, but wouldn't be decked out in his full regalia.

Those are siiiiiiick! I had a similar idea with my left over WWE figures to make random thugs for Batman, Spidey, etc. You pulled it off great!

Thanks PJ. I know they are comparable to mattels Arkham stuff.....but I also know Mattels AA stuff is bigger than DCUC for some f*cked up reason.

Harley, Hammer etc etc etc fit great with Mattels AA(ive seen pics) but I already had my doubts that Ras & Talie would fit with DCUC.

I found myself in TRU today, hoping to burn a $5 reward certificate. They did a big restock of stuff last week, so there was nothing new today. I'm set on WWE stuff, and am pretty tired of seeing all the shelf-warming Spider-Man stuff. After a lot of wandering, I settled on the Batman Classic TV Series figures. I just started getting a couple recently after finding them in WalMart's clearance aisle. They're a whopping $23 at TRU, though, so I checked Target to see if a price match would be in the cards. To my shock, the Joker was only $6 on Target's site. It was a no-brainer, though I felt kind of weird price-matching AND using a $5 certificate on a $6 figure, so I also grabbed the surf Batman, which was on Target's site at $18.

The girl at the counter, who's always been super cool with me, was taken aback by how much of a price difference there was between Target's price for Joker and theirs. "Just to be safe," she called over her supervisor who examined the figure and item on my phone. She concluded that they weren't the same figure, despite them being identical in both the picture and item description. She went off to another computer to find a way to prove they weren't the same figure. As she did that, I pulled up the UPC number on the Target site, handed it to the first girl, and confirmed both shared the same UPC number. She told her supervisor, who then checked herself, before finally conceding "defeat."

I was happy to get the deal, since it was both legitimate and these are for my own collection. But it rubbed me the wrong way how determined the supervisor was to not do the price-match. Ultimately, it was a difference of like $15, so it's not like I had enacted some huge con on the place. Add in that I spend thousands of dollars there a year, and the experience was borderline insulting.

Anyway, I'm happy to add these two to my growing Batman collection:

Bruce looks great, but I would have went with a tie instead of the bow tie

My Total Heroes Black Manta finally arrived today. But man am I tired of Matty Collector and their inability to follow instructions. For at least the last year and a half every order I have placed with them I have picked and paid for UPS standard (ground) and every time they ignore that and ship it via the cheaper New Logistics shipping. They have never refunded me the extra cost I've paid with each order for UPS which has to be about $15-$20 now. And everytime I contact their customer service they never respond.
