TOY NEWS FOR 8/16/2013 - SQUARE ENIX - PLAY ARTS KAI - BATMAN: ARKHAM CITY - BATMAN (70's SKIN) AND JOKER

This classic "1970's (and 80's too) Skin" Batman looks a little weird with Play Arts' over emphasized proportions and muscles, but I guess it's still a cool figure for Batman and video game collectors. I just think of Neil Adams' and Jim Aparo's art when I see this costume and both of them drew a more lean and tall Batman, not so muscle-bound and ripped like the Play Arts figure.

Also being released is a Joker figure from Arkham City. This is essentially the same figure from the Arkham Asylum release. This one looks to (maybe) have slightly different colors along with the "poisoned" head sculpt and some new accessories.

  1. Batman looks way too gritty and over shaded with this color scheme. It looks like his cape is poseable for this version, so that's an improvement.
