I am starting to get into the DC Superheroes line now, but I wish they would expand into non-Batman & Superman characters. It would be great to have a Green Arrow or Deathstroke or Captain Marvel.
I am going to be on the look out for a Darkseid & Steel.

Too bad he wanted figures from the DC Superheroes line (Mattel). God don't you know your toy lines? Nerd.
But the DC Superheroes line isn't really good.
Actually, compared to some of the things DC Direct has put out over the years, they aren't bad for a mass market figure. The only problem is that Mattel is limited to Batman and Superman, so you can only get so much.

I saw two different Supermans at Target. I'm guessing one was a variant

do they make those
are they rare
Variant? Yes. Rare? Not really. There's also one for Bizzaro (with another shown at Toy Fair), Supergirl, and another for Darkseid that was shown at Toy Fair.
Anyway, I want the new Turtles figures, but I dunno if they're out yet. I haven't really had time to go searching, since the nearest Toys R Us is like an hour away.
So there is a Spider-man 2099 figure in one of the Spider-man lines. It is pretty nice-looking, aside from the web-cape being held on with big black bands.
Hush Batman (except for the thighs of steel it packs)
Red Son Batman
Shall I continue? Theres also a Batman Through The Ages box set coming out this month.
Oh I know there are plenty of them out there, I meant I want to own a good batman action figure. Sorry, I can see how you misunderstood.
Those. . . those are all great figures, I have two of them myself. Gotham by Gaslight and Red Son Batman and both are awesome, and I have seen all the rest.
If you don't think those are good then your definition of good must mean the figures are carved from sacred stone by god himself.

The movie ones? I've got Don, Raph and Casey Jones so far, and they're pretty neat. Nothing special but they look decently slick. Only complaint is Mikey's eyes are really, really fucked up.

Yeah, what's the deal with that? I know he's supposed to be goofy, but a lazy eye? What the fuck, Playmates?
I'm thinking about pulling the ol' "white eyes" on all four of them.
Thank you, Wal-mart!
I think I might actually grab a little paint and do my first figure mod with Mikey when I get him. Like, the eyes aren't just weird, they pretty much ruin the whole toy.
Speaking of figures, I just bought all six of the current marvel legends line.
Shitty phone Pictures when I get home.
I'm not liking how impossible they are to keep standing. My Bishop is one of the figures I have to sticky-tack or lean up against something- the only ones worse than him are Sin City's Marv and Hellboy's Kroenen (Nazi uniform). I have come close to murder with some of these dudes.

I have the exact same problem with Bishop as well, him and X-23. Oddly enoough Ultimate Iron man, Beast and Planet Hulk are really good with posing and staying upright.

Did...did you read the response?
I currently own one comics-based action figure: Gotham by Gaslight Batman. If I never buy another one, I can rest confidently in the knowledge that I own the coolest goddamn Batman figure in the universe.
Although, the other day, I went to DC Direct's site and looked at all their current and upcoming figures and made this absurdly long list of figures I want to buy.
At some point I will most definitely buy the full Batman: Long Halloween, Batman: Dark Victory, and DKR figure sets. After that, probably the Batman 13" Collector's Edition figure, which takes second place for coolest figure in the universe.
The above doesn't even scratch the surface of the absurdly long list.

Dex Dynamo's sharp eyes have quenched my curiousity.
In all honesty those are some amazing looking figures, I wish I had them around when I was a kid.
Remember the old G.I. Joe's? The eyes on those things were nothing more than little black dots.
I can't buy the 13" figures because I'd take their pants off and get disappointed

None of the DC Direct stuff seems very poseable/articulated. I know Mattel's stuff isn't insane either, but I like it more.
I have yet to accomplish this.

Plus they threw subtlety to the wind when they made the bat tights 2 sizes too small to highlight Bruce's "bat bulge".
$10 says he has "bat socks" stuffed down his shorts.
Action figure.

What do you think happens when someone spends 95% of their free time to condition their body and fight crime. Then the other 5% to bang hot sluts.'
You get a huge body with an even bigger Batawang.

It'll look so much better. I've gotta try and do it this week (and you think it'd be simple), but I'm busy as fuck.

If they bug out, use an exacto to carve them out.
Then, if you don't have paint, use white-out.
Otherwise, use paint.

His helmet was pretty neat too.
