Affiliate Link – Batman Arkham Origins Series 1 Batman Action Figure
Thanks to a comment from battlegrip.com reader Blayne (see his website) I find myself after a new DC Collectibles Batman action figure. About the new Batman Arkham Origins Series 1 Batman Action Figure* Blayne writes:
Best batman figure ever made. Seriously!
Okay, I have got to see this one now. Pre-order time!
Where it all began. Grounded in designs of the 3rd installment of the Batman Arkham video game series, the Batman Arkham Origins Series 1 Batman Action Figure stands about 6 3/4-inches tall, with the Caped Crusader’s appearance based on the early days, before the events of critically acclaimed video games Batman: Arkham Asylum and Batman: Arkham City. Ages 14 and up.

Hi Phillip, thnaks for the mention. The articulation on this figure is the perfect mix of NECA style inset elbows, ankles, and fists with a unique DC Universe style T-style hips. All that, and a waist swivel, ab-crunch, and actual knees with an inset within the thigh for leg rotation. All the articulation blends well into the sculpt, and the cape is made from a dense but highly flexible soft plastic. Finally, DCC got a figure right.
I took a peek at the thigh articulation – and it looks like the they’re clear plastic joints hiden inside – so things aren’t all sunshine and bat-shaped rainbows. Still, it’s a wonderfully done figure. I hope more of the DC Collectibles figure line is designed like this.
For Canadians, I noticed Toronto retailer silversnail.com still has this guy in stock on their website. It might be worth checking out if larger retailers like BBTS are sold out.
A mini-review! Thanks! I’m looking forward to getting a close look at this one.
