Replaced the pea sized Bat head with the larger Bale Bat head, which looks better.

NICE!
Looks like the standard figures (Azrael, Batman, etc.) are the same size as Joes.
I am even more excited for the Keaton Batman figures than before, and I didn't think that was possible.

Ordered a Mr Freeze off Amazon. Should have it Tuesday. Can't wait to see these in person.

Damn. Too big for DCIH compatibility.

Anybody else get a 'Meat Loaf' vibe off Bane? He just looks like a fat 40 year old.

Mr. Freeze's helmet is cool; it's got a great Alien or Outland-style-spacesuit look.

Bane looks like an early-'90s Toy Biz figure. Azrael or whoever isn't far off, either.

Batman is actually the worst-looking of the bunch somehow. He's about halfway between sub-par production figure and knock-off.

Yeah, Freeze looks useful to me as being 'halfway there' on a bash. That the other 3 are even seeming interesting, however, says a lot about how much we've lowered our collective standards lately.

A little, yeah, but it's his stubby arms that kill it.


Still trying to figure out whose bright idea it was to put him in a bulky jacket.

Bane would do anything for love.












But, he won't do that.

Who's this 'we'? My standards are fine, and I won't be buying these hunks of dogcrap.

I'm sorry, but at least in the case of Mr Freeze...
"dogcrap" he is not.

This figure looks even better in person than he did in pictures.
Is he perfect? No, but easily the best (non custom) 3.75"-4" figure I've ever seen of a DC character. Not to mention better than quite a few of Hasbro's recent offerings, at a buck cheaper than their MU, MCU, AA figures.

For articulation, he has hinge-swivel shoulders, hinged elbows, wrist swivels, upper torso swivel (limited due to the pipes on his back), the typical Mattel style hinge-swivel hips (kind of funky but they work), thigh swivels, and hinged knees. Really the only things he is missing are bicep swivels and ankle joints. And those look like they'd be pretty easy to add, if a person so desired.

Sculpt is fantastic. Very detailed, and bulky enough to pass as a dude in a suit of armor. My only little gripes are that his thighs and biceps are a bit too short in comparison to his long shins and forearms. Not horribly so, but enough to notice.
His feet are a little "clown foot", but considering that it is suppose to be a guy in a suit, they're not too bad either.

I'll try to get some pictures when I get a chance, but overall I am VERY pleased with this figure.

And FYI, even though the Amazon.com listing shows Bane, it really is for Freeze.

A high hurdle, indeed.
