@@hammbone8184 McFarlane excelled at beefy zombie characters in the old Spawn days so Grundy is definitely up his alley. Plus the Dark Knight version of Grundy I.e. Black Monday is covered in chains. So obviously Todd is going to be eyeing him since we all know how much McFarlane loves chains.

Another great vid! I finally got around to reading this series, which got me more excited for the toys. Wasn't sure what Batman's costume was supposed to be. The pictures made it look like it was some kind of "desert gear." When I saw it was actually a straight jacket, I was all in. Very cool. Plus, it comes with the amazing Joker-in-a-jar accessory. Probably my favorite accessory since the Bottled City of Kandor from the old Mattel JLU figures. I have mixed feelings on the "stubble" effect on Wonder woman's head, though. She's got a pretty clean shave in the comics, so why add it to the toys? Other than that, a very cool wave. Let's hope they get to the Joker head/robot body we see at series' end someday.

I don't know if it's the weak ankles or what but these guys lean like they are listening to Dj Screw.
