Yes, Mr.Jones – recently got the S3 select sculpt DCSH Blue & Gray BATMAN from the 2-pack with Batgirl, a really lucky break from Amazon!
Unfortunately, the 2-pack doesn’t have the 7 different Batarangs that was available in this figure’s original single packaging. Ahh, but this space should be reserved for the arrival of good old Ted Grant, eh? And I think some JSA figures are now available from DC Direct as well ?? Good times……

Of course I couldn’t imagine Alan Scott, Jay Garrick, and Sandman with this body sculpt. Maybe use the Gentleman Ghost sculpt for Sandman.

Oh my GOD I would absolutely LOVE an Alan Scott figure. And I wouldn’t mind Jay Garrick or Sandman either. Can’t wait to pick up Mr. Terrific and this guy!

Was that the one with the epicly amazing sculpt and articulation and like 47 batarangs that came in the same line as the original Azrael? I think it was the “S3 Select Sculpt”.

Though it is true the paint is a total shiny mess, look at like series 1 Orion. If it’s that same level of shine it’ll look pretty good. Also I agree it should be bulkier, but they’re pretty big on reuse of sculpt over here I suppose. I mean don’t get me wrong they all look phenomenal, I just wouldn’t mind a little variation like we saw in the olf ToyBiz Marvel Legends. Because if ML did that, we’d have Colossus and Iceman the same level of muculature. And that’s just wrong.

Oops, correction to my mistake here – its was DENNIS FARINA who voiced him in the JLU episode…..sorry for the misinformation!! Either way, can’t wait to get this figure & the blue variant!!

Ah, yes – thanks for the reminder! Bats was released in the DC Super Heroes line series 3 (Blue & dark Gray) and in series 8 (Black & Gray variant) if I’m not mistaken – in 2007 ? Almost the same body sculpt as the current DCUC line, except for the wrist articulation. You’re right that both the Blue / Black variants really look good – but now they are quite rare ….. This DCSH line was a bit hard to find in stores in my area, & I got caught up in it way too late…….Although I do not mind seeing a proper DCUC Bats figure in the all-black costume he wore after mending his broken back & reclaiming the mantle from Azrael in the comics continuity…….

Yeah, he sure has that gruff reputation preceding him! Actually, veteran actor Charles Napier (he played the double-crossing Murdock in RAMBO II) did a great job playing Wildcat’s voice in that cool JLU episode “The Cat & the Canary” – and he actually looks as square-jawed in real life as you would expect Wildcat to be…… As for the figure, I’m beginning to agree it should be just a little bulkier, adding the appropriate weight of age attributed to the character – because the current sculpt is of a younger man in his prime……

Every time I see a picture of this figure, I hear R. Lee Ermey’s voice.

You know there was a figure that mattel released as part of their DC Superheroes line that you should look for online. They did a Batman figure with the plain black bat on the chest and his cape and cowl were all black as well. It is a fantastic fig and I have that posed with all of my DCUC figs.

Let me know if you need help locating it, I can email a picture if you would like.
