On Saturday I hit a couple comic shops in search of a MS Watcher. While I did't find him, I picked up something else that caught my eye. This being my first DC Direct figure, I was pleasantly surprised. In the past, I would've been more biased against this figure, because it lacks the ML POA. But since I've got into Marvel Select, my eyes have been opened to figures with better sculpts, and less POA. I have a ton of Batman toys, but this one clearly stands out. The added touch of the folded cowl really stands out for me, and I've become more fond of the unmasked head, over the hooded. These are about twice the price of ML, but then so is Marvel Select, so I'm definetley going to give DC Direct another look later on.

Pretty cool Batman... I am not sure if I want to get into DC... maybe just the basic characters.

Being the huge batfan that I am, this and the Batgirl from the series finally made me cave into DCD. That's a great fig there, I love it. I keep him displayed with the Bruce head and have him holding his mask instead of leaving it around his neck. Hes the 'center' of my display.

HOLY CRAP, BATMAN IS BRUCE WAYNE?!
That still doesn't explain how his pupils disappear when he puts the mask on.

That is a great figure. Even though it's just a re-paint of the Hush Batman, with an interchangeable head. Honestly, in the last year, DC Direct has been on fire, and have been making some excellent figures. A lot of them are better than the ML counterparts in many ways (other than P.O.A.)
I only picked up Batgirl and Batman from that set, as I already had the Martian Manhunter (minus the new head), and I wasn't too hot on Joker.

I may have to get the Bruce. I really love the unmasked figures, whether they be ML or DCD. I still have to find the ML 12 Wolvie variant and I plan on getting the ML 2 pack variants just for the unmasked versions of Cap and DD.

Wow, that really looks fantastic, dude. I normally don't collect Marvel or DC figures, but if I see that in stores, I'll definitely pick it up. I love it whenever companies to figures of Superheroes with removable masks.

Well, the mask isnt really removable technically, he just comes with two different heads.
