DC Multiverse Wave 1 Recap

DC Multiverse Wave 1 Arkham City Batman

I was so excited when a new 4 inch DC line was announced.  There aren't many lines I have collected from the beginning, but I do plan on getting most, if not all, of these DC Multiverse figures.

GI Joe Dollar General Storm Shadow

So far there have been five figures.  There are kind of six, as there is a Batman with a different suit, but some places list that as a variant, so I'm not counting it.  Below I've listed each figure with links to their respective posts.

1. Batman
2. Bane
3. Azrael
4. Mr. Freeze
5. Deadshot

DC Multiverse Wave 1 Arkham Origins Bane

So far all the figure have good articulation, which is a new thing for DC figures.  Some are certainly better than others, but they are all built well and quite articulate.

Incredible Hulk Series Hulkbuster

I've had no problems with the paint application on any of the figures so far, and none of them have broken or even felt brittle.

DC Multiverse Wave 1 Arkham City Mr. Freeze

Out of the first wave of DC Multiverse figures, Mr. Freeze was the figure I was definitely second most excited for.

Mr. Freeze comes equipped with his signature freeze ray, and of course is in his suit.

DC Multiverse Wave 1 Arkham City Batman

This particular figure is from the video game Arkham City.  The Batman and Azrael figures from this same wave are also from the same game.

Marvel Universe Wave 2 Hulk
Iron Man Series War Machine
Marvel Universe Comic Pack Wave 13 Wolverine

DC Multiverse Wave 1 Arkham City Azrael Figure

I don't know a tremendous amount about Azrael, and I don't think anybody knows much about the Arkham City version.

In the game, this guy is known as the Mysterious Watcher.  He kind of hangs out around Arkham City and watched Batman.

New DC Multiverse 4 Inch Toyline Announced

Mattel has announced a 1:18 scale toyline which claims to cover the DC multiverse.  So far, it appears to be a Batman line, but there's nothing wrong with that in my eyes.

There's a complete photo gallery of the 4 and 6 inch figures over at Toy Ark.  All my images of the new toyline came from the following post.  Thanks!

Apparently this line will covers comics, movies, and video games.  The first wave appears to just have Arkham City and Arkham Origins figures.  So far they are promising 18 figures total, spread over three waves, and they will be released this Spring.

Arkham City Batman

Finally a Batman in this scale.  I was hoping for one in the DC Injustice line, but this is so much better.

Arkham City Armored Edition Batman

I actually prefer this figure to the regular Arkham City Batman.

Arkham City Mr. Freeze

I don't collect six inch figures, but I've been tempted many times to buy the six inch version of this figure.

Arkham Origins Bane

A decent Bane for this scale.  Way better than those Dark Knight Rises figures.

Arkham Origins Deadshot

I'm not particularly super excited for this figure.  I'll get it as long as it has some or at least one decent accessory.

Arkham City Azrael

This figure is just awesome.  It kind of reminds me of the Assassin's Creed toyline, but that's fine.  It's a definite buy.

As many of you probably know, this isn't the first DC 4 inch line.  There's been quite a few.  More on that in my next post!
