There are some floating around ToyNewsI.com, but I keep having issues with getting the info from the links. I think it has something to do with my company's watchdog, preventing data to be seen.

Of the new pictures shown, I didn't see anything relatively new. I don't even know if there were any new figures shown. I think they were the same from Toyfair.

They were pretty much the same figures from Toyfair, but had the articulation added.

Most figures look to have swivel neck, ball joint shoulders, hinge elbows, swivel (T-crotch) hips, hinge knees, and swivel waist.

In other words, poseability is going to be a little "meh" at first. Hopefully some more articulation can be worked into the line as it goes along.

Really added articulation? I thought they looked exactly like the same figures from Toy Fair.

Many of the figures didn't have any articulation at Toy Fair, but the ones at NYCC had visible joints.

I think you are mistaken some did have joints.

um . . . yeah, isn't that what he said dude? :lol: :lol: I know my grammar really sucks, but I think 'many' = 'not all'.

On the actual topic at hand, I gotta say my excitement is waning a bit for these. While I love the idea, I was really hoping to see some real improvement with the NYCC pics. Paint aps are few, and sloppy. Proportions are a bit wonky. Bizzaro as a variant? And no value articulation. I could buy some t-crotch figs, but a Bats or Canary without at least ball/socket hips is pretty worthless. And if Green Arrow can't pose with his bow, well, that'd just be a shame. Might go from collecting most, to just buying a few.

Like I said a few pages earlier, I think this line is going to ROT. With the increasing tightness of play money and increasing 18th-scale lines; these things are going to be seen as the complete piles of worthless crap they are. Why the hell would I spend essentially the same amount of money to get 1/3rd the bang?

Everything I see when I look at these tells me Mattel's treating this like any other flash-in-the-pan toyline that comes and goes once the movie hype dies down. Too bad this line doesn't have a movie to even get the hype up in the first place.

I think those were the same figures which were shown at Toy Fair months before. ;)
Maybe we need to go through the list of which did have added joints. I just don't see any new ones. It also seems there were less shown at NYCC or no one bothered taking pictures of them.

Mattel: If and when we do playsets, the HOJ is at the top of our list.

Sweeeeeeeeeeeet!!!

Do we have a price point on these yet? I picked up the Dark Knight 2 packs for $6.99 each so I was thinking $4-5 each?

Uh...why? Purely based on price? I'll just say this: You get what you pay for. This line looks like poorly-painted, poorly-articulated doo-doo.
