ShartimusPrime Biography:
Inspired by watching boring Transformers action figure reviews, the ShartimusPrime youtube channel was launched in 2008. Engaging the audience with an edgy sense of humor for adult collectors, action figure collecting has never been this fun, and videos are posted daily! Unexpectedly, the channel became more popular for Marvel Legends reviews and Spider-Man, Avengers, and X-Men collection display videos. After a few years, the channel has branched out to review other figure properties aside from Marvel Legends and G1 Transformers Masterpiece. Hot Toys, Star Wars, Diamond Select Toys, DC Collectibles, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Dragon Ball Z, Attack on Titan, Godzilla, Evil Dead, and The Walking Dead toy lines have all been added to the roster of nearly 2,000 video reviews. Japanese import figures from SH Figuarts, Bandai, Figma, Square Enix, and Medicom MAFEX have been favorites as well. More recently, Kotobukiya Statues (including the very sexy Bishoujo line) and NECA Toys have become more prevalent on the channel. Being a big fan of movies such as Spider-Man, Batman, X-Men, Iron Man, Captain America, The Avengers, Evil Dead, Pacific Rim, Aliens, and other films has lead the channel in the direction of also reviewing movies, movie trailers, blu ray releases, and tv shows. News updates for 2016 releases and beyond are also posted. Audience engagement is a big part of this channel, with giveaways and fan mail being read publicly once a week in the PO Box Pick-Up videos. Impressive “Shart-Art” is shared via social media and included in the opening theme song. The audience is also kept up to date with any changes to the channel, along with recent comic book pick-ups, unboxings, and action figure hauls. Stop-motion segments punishing the popular meme of the Big Time Let Down Spider-Man close most of the comparison segments, and are compiled together for guaranteed access to patrons. Lastly, all figure reviews close with a slideshow featuring dynamic poses of the figure inspired by ACBA, with the added bonus of music performed and recorded by ShartimusPrime himself.

[@bigwhopper6501]

I disagree that this release was unnecessary, the Arkham series is now an iconic part of batman

[@sandwhich6891]

true

[@Kanderus86]

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!

[@Ghidorah96]

Shartimus is VERY out of touch with these things. He doesn’t understand not all of us have the time to revolve our lives around toys and comics

[@crazybanan4072]

Dc direct and collectibles are same?

[@JohnSmith-lt1ck]

@@crazybanan4072 DC Direct became DC Collectibles

[@JohnSmith-lt1ck]

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.

I recently bough this Batman figure and for $20 it's pretty damn good. The head looks a little small, but that's indicative of the style. Joker's gun most closely resembles a Colt Python .44 as Desert Eagle does not make revolvers.

That Joker may be my new favourite Joker figure, and I'd say that it was an itch that I needed scratching, back when Arkham Knight came out and DC Collectibles was releasing awesome looking figures for the game I was waiting for an Arkham game Joker, and all they gave us was a crappy flashback version, so I've been waiting on this figure for a long time and it did not disappoint.

Good to hear that your family is doing well, My gripe in batman is I got bad paint apps on his eyes like rogue syndrome, good for you that your copy is better looking

The head looks pretty accurate to me, as this picture is from the game itself.

[@Nic_03_21]

It was only Christmas when I first got this game.

[@Inv4drz]

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?

[@homedude832]

Shartimus why didn’t you mention thigh cut swivel? You know these Mcfarlane toys desperately need it. Also the shin/ lower leg looked weird when you did full ankle pivot (bat). These are great figures however 👍🏼. I own both but that missing thigh cut swivel 😭😜

[@azraelravenstar6616]

Because its pointless, when are you ever gonna twist his thighs all the way round?

[@homedude832]

Azrael Demiurgos no but it will give you access to better position for different poses especially in a crouch

[@dubbydapanda7189]

Figures from McFarlane Toys need upper thigh cuts and double-jointed elbows then they would be absolutely in my interest. I'm actually thinking about getting both of these figures because I recently got done playing Batman Return to Arkham Asylum and I need some video game batman figures, i've been wanting some for a long time but nobody is producing good Arkham Batman figures...

[@DesignIncase]

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.

That Joker pairs great with the Neca Batman vs. Aliens Batman.

[@ashurgoodman6351]

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.
