We got some blasphemy in this thread. Rocksteady Batverse is the best since BTAS in pretty much everything, including character design. Only character that really bugged me was Harley.

Other than Batman I think they were decent at the very least.
Tiny pinhead Batman just kills me though.
Thankfully that figure doesn't look like its an exact recreation of it.

Gotta disagree with you there. I think Rocksteady Bats was an unlikeable prick, unlike BTAS.
Yeah, they were decent I suppose but I dunno if I can say I liked them.
- Two Face, Selina, Hugo Strange, Pyg and Ra's were all pretty standard designs.
- Tim had that buzzcut I don't like.
- I didn't like Dick's hair in City and his Arkham Knight outift is overdesigned. (I'm picky)
- Harley was a misfire in every game.
- Riddler was OK.
- Personally I prefer Penguin as the classy criminal rather than the cockney guy with a bottle end shoved into his face so yeah that never worked for me.
Come to think of it, Batgirl looked pretty good.

After the garbage Wolverine figure they just put out I'm not sure why anyone would preorder another Sideshow Marvel figure.

BBTS and Sideshow haul.
I thought their Star Wars 1/6 figures were bad. Not too excited for this. Wish Hot Toys made one.

There are 2 figures based on that design, if we're not counting the fact that it's basically identical to her New 52 costume. Unless you meant specifically by Hot Toys, then fat chance.
But the proportions in AK look fine? It was really only AA and AC which had the wonky comic book proportions.

Sideshow has some quality Star Wars pieces. Mostly robotic or armored pieces. Darth Maul is proof they may have upped their face sculpt game.
stahp
I like the look of that Maul but the seam lines look more pronounced than the prototype. Though that could be because of the lighting and the face I'm looking at the picture on a 50 inch 4K screen lol
He doesn't come with a lightup saber? I'd really like to try and get some of the older Sideshow Clonetroopers at some point, they look cool as hell.

The Sideshow Maul has a good sculpt, but the paint is lacking and the body is trash.

I have a lot of their clones cause I don't think HT will ever make all the variations that SSC did, but their Boba Fett is hot garbage compared to HT, same with their Vader. I've never messed with their Deadpool but the impressions I've read again reinforce that HT made a much better figure at the same price point.

Mauls body and articulation is getting nice reviews at SSF. I admit their Boba is a step below compared to HT. Their R2 unit could use more weight to it. But the Tie Pilot, 3PO, Cad Bane are all excellent. Those are the ones I own. I know HT is mostly better but HT is not without their faults also. The articulation on all TFA Troopers sucks. Hans elbow joints (Wide spread) are so tight you feel like you are breaking it trying to pose it. Vaders sculpt looks so much better with some reflective tape behind the eyes and the dome lowered a few mm it boggles the mind they didn't notice it for the production run. And the biggest fault I have is I absolutely hate the choice of material and tailoring of Leia's dress.
With the materials they use and lack of accessories, should be $200 tops

You will get Funko Pops of these guys and you will like it, god damn it!
NECA pls, you got to have him.
ThreeA's figures also suck. Still have my Master Chief in a box after being disappointed by the actual product. There's a very good chance that the Doomguy figure can't actually hold that shotgun without a decent helping of superglue.
Barrow Roll

The Master Chief was a turd, but that's not really fair. By that logic all Hot Toys are trash because ED-209's rubber is deteriorating, or because of the "pink panties" issue that plagued early Iron Man figures, or the electronic voice box in Darth Vader that barely worked. All toy companies drop the ball some times.
ThreeA makes some awesome shit.
I'll give you that his head is too small, but I thought the body proportions looked a lot better in Arkham Knight than in their previous games.
vs
Fair enough. I'm just salty at how false the advertising was. Like the figure does stuff in pictures that it physically cannot do (like hold up the assault rifle).

Wait, isn't SSC just the NA distributor for HT? I didn't m ow they make the same type of figures too.

No they make their own stuff as well.
Oh snap, was just checking around and not sure if posted already but looks like BBTS has preorders up for Dragonzord. Looks like the rerelease I've been waiting for.

I mentioned this before
Still, aren't you going to wait and see if the SOC Megazord is followed up by a Dragonzord?
I'll settle for this. Doesn't hurt to have it preordered. Been waiting for the rerelease forever.
Since 1:6 figures are super expensive, I have limited myself over the years to things that have been really important to me through my life. Like I need to cross a ultra line of fandom to purchase one. I see a lot of great sculpts and awesome 1:6 figures, but I can't go much further than I have. Unless they release the entire roster of the '96 Bulls. Would buy enterbay Toni Kukoc and Luc Longley.

Got my Maul today. I.AM.IN.LOVE with this figure. Would be in figure of the year running if it was $40 less or came with the robe. The articulation, the sculpt, the tailoring and the paint is top notch.
I thought about buying the McFarlane Titanfall 2 figures but they look a little... eh.
I wish NECA made every video game series and then let the HK and Japanese companies handle the bigger, deluxe figures for those series. NECA's not always perfect but for their price they range from decent to amazing. Like the HOTS figures.

There's the 10" BT-7274 Titan figure that's actually a figure unlike those awful Color Tops arm-articulation-only statue things, but it's not out yet. It even comes with a little 3" Jack Cooper!

Dat AK batman looks so good. Here's hoping they do AK and some of the other characters too.
Man, I guess I'm in the minority.
I thought Arkham Knight had some great designs. The batman suit was pretty nice, Arkham Knight looks mean as hell, and Scarecrow has his best design ever IMO.
I thought the proportions were WAY worse in Arkham Asylum and Arkham City personally.
