I have to disagree with the timing of the release for a couple of reasons: Firstly, the game (and the series) is timeless to me, so I'll always appreciate Arkham figure releases. Secondly, I was never able to snag any of the figures that DC Direct had on sale when the game was released. Todd's release has allowed me to add these figures to my collection now, at a good price, too!

These are also, in my opinion, even better than the DC Direct and DC Collectibles versions. When the Asylum figures were made over a decade ago, the company was notorious for using transparent brittle joints for figures. So it wasn’t unusual for a joint or two to break off as soon as the figures were taken out of the packaging. That issue continued into the release of Arkham Knight figures.

My biggest gripe about the Batman figure is how small his hands are. But I have found that, if you have an extra Arkham Knight Batman figure that you don't really care about, take those hands off and pop the hands of this Asylum Batman along with its ball hinges, put some sticky tac in the hole and then put the arkham knight hands in there it looks A LOT better. However, and this goes to the McFarlane company, look at that Arkham Knight Batman figure. Look at the arms. See how those arms are the same size as this figure? Why doesn't this one have double jointed elbows but the AK Batman does, and it's an older figure?

So far for me when it comes to this line. White Knight Batman I think is the best of the Batman's they've released so far. This guy doesn't really impress me. It's like a more detailed version of the first. This Joker I feel is my definitive. It just articulates like the model in the game. Diversity is also the problem of the line right now. It's the Batman line. For me personally I don't need 8 Batman figures. So the sooner they do anyone else the better. I want to see Flash, Green Lantern and such. I do hope they address articulation. Come on double jointed elbows should just be standard. Especially if there aren't any butterfly joints to bring the arms inward. The also need a address the waists. These long jackets(Joker, Arrow, BWL) are limited because the waist sits so low and there isn't a divide in the jacket(so bunching occurs or it pops off the hinge). I love the flexible material. I hope to experiment more with that. If they could bring it into the pants they could straight up hide the hinge. Paint app wise. Coming from Hasbro Lightning Collection. I've only once had to ignore a clearly defective product. I can pull these figures blindly. The Hasbro figs is "may the odds be in your favor". For the cost I feel we are getting a lot of detail. They just need to get their articulation and face sculpts on point. Now does Mcfarlane do all the sculpts because I figured all his other artists did that? Lastly, hands. Two gripping hands please. I strongly dislike being told which is the correct hand. It's not like you can swap with other figures. The hinges keep changing. Overall the line has gotten stronger then when it started.

The "grapple gun" in my personal opinion is to big to be the grapple actually from the game or the bat claw. My guess is it's a concept art version of the line launcher or grapple or claw. Cause Mcfarlane Toys made the first figures for that game right? And I bet it was a left over accessory from then. It also explains why we get a canister of explosive gel and not the spray the canister goes in.
