6 on Arkham Asylum Joker Sixth Scale Figure by Hot Toys reviewRocksteady's Joker design from the inaugural Arkham game finally gets the Hot Toys treatment, and it doesn't disappoint. In fact, we here at Batman News are so enthusiastic about it that we're doing our first Hot Toys video review. However, if you're at work or maybe a funeral (at least try to hide the phone…
Justice League may not have generated the revenue or fan reaction that Warner Brothers wanted, but it did generate a ton of excellent merchandise. Lots of toys, clothing and collectibles have been steadily trickling out for a year or so now, and the fine folks at Kotobukiya recently entered the field with a line of…
Toy Fair 2018 is in the books, and this year, Batman News was on the scene to catalog all things Batman—and a little from the greater DC universe—at the show. One of the industry's biggest events, Toy Fair brings vendors, retailers, purchasers, and more from across the globe to showcase new products, network, and plan out…
Twenty-five. That’s how many years have passed since Paul Dini and Bruce Timm's charmingly psychotic Harley Quinn first appeared on Batman: The Animated Series. She’s come a long way since then, breaking the Joker's abusive hold and rising to become what is now arguably DC's second hottest property. You can’t throw a mallet at Comic…
I know what you’re thinking: what the heck are those things? If you don’t frequent comic shops (and maybe even if you do), this might be the first time you’re getting a peek at Diamond's Vinimates. And you might be thinking what the heck? The rapid evolution of taste I’m going to shoot straight: when…
The folks at Diamond Select are at it again, with another amazing Batman: The Animated Series resin bust. Due out in summer 2018, Killer Croc appears to have the same great sculpting and paint-work as the other pieces in this series. I can't wait to get my hands on him! Here's the release from Diamond: A…
It’s Justice League month, so it’s only fitting that the Legion of Collectors would send out a box of goodies based on the film. Other than a questionable t-shirt design, this one is pretty great, with two Pop!s and several other sweet, fresh items. Check out the video, and then sign up at legionofcollectors.com.
I used to have a guitar that was made of resin. If I had known that when I first played it, I probably would have passed on it. Guitars are made of wood, dagnabbit! I kind of felt the same way about Diamond’s collection of Batman: the Animated Series resin busts when I first saw…
So I recently got a box of Batman: the Animated Series and Batman Beyond goodies from Diamond Select. I expected to like the PVC Gallery figures (like this Laughing Fish Joker I reviewed last week), but I wasn't too excited about the resin busts—an SDCC-exclusive unasked Batman, and an Old Bruce Wayne. What am I supposed to do…
It’s a good year to be a Batman: the Animated Series fan. We just got Mask of the Phantasm in HD home release, the whole series proper is coming to Blu-Ray soon, and there’s more merchandise available than ever before. Some of the best stuff is coming from Diamond Select, whose figures, busts, and such capture…
Love it or hate it, no one can deny Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice one of its greatest achievements: a cinematic Batman aesthetic that is unashamed of its comic book roots. Prior adaptations almost unanimously favored all-black suits made of armored or rubberized materials, resulting in costumes that may have cut a nice silhouette, but…
Stop me if you’ve heard this one: a prominent producer of DC Comics statuary makes a 1/6 scale statue inspired by the cover of Alan Moore and Brian Bolland’s seminal work, The Killing Joke. Okay, you've probably heard this one, but indulge me for a little bit. There have already been several statues quite similar…
Another odd month, another outstanding box from Funko's Legion of Collectors. This month's theme has multiple meanings, featuring sought-after villains and product types that we haven't seen before. And of course, at the center of it all, we have Pop!s, including the best one Funko's ever made: Look at all his majesty. Check out the…
Funko's Legion of Collectors is at it again, with May's Wonder Woman box. It's hard to top March's Superman, but this one gives it a good try. And if Pop!s are your thing, I think you'd be very happy with what you get. If nothing else, this has me more hyped for the film, which—in…
Inspired by the cover for the ninth installment of Frank Miller and Jim Lee's unfinished All-Star Batman & Robin (henceforward ASBR), the fine folks at Kotobukiya have delivered one of their best Batman statues yet—and thrown in a pretty nifty Robin, to boot. Featuring energetic poses and excellent sculpting, this Dynamic Duo of 1/10 scale statues is…
Funko was kind enough to send Batman News their March box for Legion of Collectors, and boy, was it a good one. See if you can spot Batman! Also, if there's a drinking game for how many times I say "classic" or "spit curl", you should probably stick to root beer...
