So I'm not really an action figure collector, but when I heard about these coming out a few years back I knew I had to have them. Action Figures by DC Collectibles (formerly DC Direct) based on the Arkham games by Rocksteady (of which I am a huge fan). I've included some pics of the available series to share the awesome:
Arkham Asylum - Series 1:
Batman
Joker (with Scarface)
Harley Quinn
Scarecrow

Killer Croc
Mr. Freeze
Titan Joker

Arkham City - Deluxe Figures - Series 2:
Solomon Grundy

(Short video showing the prototype Grundy from Toy Fair 2013)
So yeah, an awesome series of figures based on a spectacular series of games. I'm hoping we get a Two-Face, Hugo Strange, Jim Gordon, Black Mask, and Calendar Man in future series, and Clayface (clay form, not his Joker form), Hammer, and Sickle in future deluxe series.
These figures are phenomenal overall. The only ones I haven't been impressed by are Poison Ivy (whose stance is weird) and Killer Croc (who has a fantastic sculpt but apparently his arms tend to break off--luckily mine is still in one piece).
They're a bit pricey as the regular figures range between $20-25, and the Deluxe figures range between $40-50, and the Solomon Grundy is reported to be priced at $100 (ouch), but they're definitely worth it due to the detailed sculpts and fantastic paint applications.
Anyone else seen these or possibly picked any up?
