6 on Mondo Batman One-Sixth Scale Collectible Figure ReviewMondo has entered the collectible Batman figures game with a 12-inch Dark Knight inspired by Bruce Timm's artwork from Batman: The Animated Series. As a company, Mondo has a reputation for stellar posters and vinyl records that sell out in a flash, so it came as no surprise when their first foray into Batman figures…
Buying for the Batman fan in your life this holiday season? This list offers plenty of gift ideas sure to appeal to any fan of The Dark Knight. We're talking comics old and new, salutes to 66 and 89, collectibles that highlight the Nolan and Snyder eras, and more! And we’ve made staying within your…
Remember last year's excellent Batman Returns LP? Well, Mondo is back again this year with a record for Tim Burton's Batman (1989). Prince is noticeably absent from the tracklist, but Danny Elfman's iconic score is well intact. In addition to some of the best music ever, the album also flaunts fantastic artwork by Kilian Eng,…
Do you remember Dark Nights: Metal? Do you remember it fondly? Did you like all those plum-crazy Bruces Wayne cosplaying as their Justice League teammates? If nothing else, Metal was a loud, nutso ball of energy that set up Scott Snyder's run on Justice League—including the introduction of the Batman Who Laughs. The Batman Who Laughs comes from…
I'm repeating myself and at least half of Batman fandom when I say this, but Batman: The Animated Series was amazing, not least because of Mark Hamill's definitive performance as the Joker, and the introduction of cultural phenomenon Harley Quinn. Kotobukiya—a company known more for its statues based on comic and film interpretations of these characters,…
The Joker looks dapper and dangerous as he rides high atop his own maniacal laughter, a unique and integrated base built of actual “HA HA HAs.” Display the Clown Prince of Crime proudly at home, work or wherever you want to show your crazy side. Review Another Joker statue? Another one?! Yes, it’s another Joker…
As I've no doubt mentioned elsewhere, I have an interesting history with DST's Vinimates line. When I first started working with the company on reviews, I told them not to send any, because I thought they were gross. Oh, how far I've come! At this point, I think I like them as much as I…
If you've even dabbled in collecting Batman-related merchandise, then you probably know Kotobukiya. They've produced memorable statues for all sorts of DC characters, but their Batman ARTFX statue—across several versions—is considered one of the best statues of the Dark Knight that there is. As if having one outstanding Batman wasn't enough, a year or two…
Diamond Select Toys call themselves "the nexus of comics and pop-culture," and that's pretty apt. If there's a nerdy property that you're interested in, they've probably got it covered, across one or several of their product lines. The Justice League film is one such property, with a line of Vinimates and Gallery PVC statues covering…
San Diego Comic-Con is almost upon us, and you know what that means: more comic, movie, and merchandise announcements than you know what to do with. While we're still a few weeks away from Comic-Con, the good people over at LEGO have provided Batman News with an exclusive first look at one of their new…
"Techno tried to defile the metal, but techno was proven wrong. Metal, it comes from hell." --Tenacious D The DC Designer Series Greg Capullo Batman statue from DC Collectibles is as metal as polyresin gets. There’s just nothing else out there quite like it. In fact, it’s the only statue ever made to truly capture…
DC Artists Alley is an all-new series of stylized PVC statues based on the work of up-and-coming artists whose comic-con booths caught the eye of decision-makers at DC Collectibles. Not only does the line get the word out about new talent, it also guarantees that the DC Collectibles catalog stays on the cutting edge and…
DC Collectibles just released the Red White & Black Harley Quinn by Jae Lee, a 7.47-inch poly-resin statue based on the artist's cover to Harley Quinn: Our Wolds at War (2001). This statue is limited to only 5,000 pieces, and it comes with a very nice looking "Harley Quinn" logo base for added stability as well…
The original Joker figure from DC Collectible's Batman: The Animated Series line had a head sculpt that failed to capture the Clown Prince's iconic visage, and in my opinion it's the one toy that's the least worth your money from the entire collection. So it's a pleasure to report that the newly released Joker Expressions…
On the magnetic strip in this cassette tape, lives the greatest song ever written, The Night Begins to Shine! Influenced by the sounds of the '80s, it was 40% written by Carl Burnett, 40% by Franklin Enea, and a sweet, sweet 20% by William J. Reagan. The song that spawned episodes that spawned a cultural…
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…

Funko does it all. They're best known for their Pop! vinyl figures, but they have an ever-growing catalog of other products, as well. Dorbz, Hikari, Pint-Sized Heroes—they probably make at least one thing for everyone. So in an already-diverse product line, why introduce the Target-exclusive HeroWorld series of vinyl collectibles? Let’s consider. A kid-friendly aesthetic…
