I received my Arkham Oranges (I know that's not what it's called, it's just easier to type, so get used to it.  ) four-pack...they LOOK cool, but half of the joints on Bats and Deathstroke are stuck and, well, as we all know, DC Collectibles pins 'n pegs can't be trusted. The paint on Joker's face looks...gloppy...is it supposed to be like this? It's been forever since I played the game and don't remember how he looked. |

I am waiting for UPS to drop off my 4-Pack as I type.
So mine arrived. Some quick thoughts...
Batman - while just a re-release the articulation on this figure is much better. Not to stiff or to loose.
Joker - also another re-release I do think the face paint isn't as smooth as the first.
Now the two figures I purchased the set for...
Deathstroke - all PoA work although the hips are very loose. And mine had the ammo great off his shoulder while trying to get him off of the blister. But a really nice looking figure.
Black Mask - a few major complaints. Pinstripe are grooved into the sculpt instead of painted on. No ball joined shoulders (same as Joker) but hinged elbows instead of the swivel Joker has. And like Joker a t-croth hips, but no knee articulation.

And like Joker a t-croth hips, but no knee articulation. I have the single release and I purposely removed mine. I wanted to get tiny magnets and make them magnetic, so that the articulation wouldn't be compromised by the shoulder pads. Haven't done it yet, but I don't miss them on the figure. I also haven't had a problem with my single-release Batman figure, although my Deathstroke does have a frozen ab crunch. |

Yeah Lois is a nice figure but there is no way I would pay that much for 1 figure out of a 4 or 5 figure boxed set that was priced $20-$25.

I would've paid 30 for her at one point....but theres way too much great stuff out there for me to keep going back to this line for overpriced figs. Would have loved to got Gordon and Lois into my collection.....but it is what it is!! |

I am pretty sure I have an extra Gordon, but I really won't be able to look for him until spring when we do our spring cleaning. Remind me in a few weeks to remember to pull him out of a bin when I have them out. |

Got looking at the DCUC Kamandi and thought that the body would make a good base for a Zsasz custom. Might try that out, although I'd need a bald head or a short crew-cut head if I wanted to make the '90s blond version. Something to round out my low-tier Batman villains.
