Deadshot is the result of an amalgam of inspiration, mostly from the animated film Gotham Knight, but also from the Arkham City video game. I loved Deadshot’s design in Gotham Knight, with his big hat and trench coat, so I took a ML Nick Fury coat and repainted it, and the hat is from a Mezco The Spirit “Octopus” figure, also repainted. The head started out as a DCUC Blue Beetle that I sculpted and painted over to make him at least partially resemble Deadshot in the Arkham City video game. The finishing touches were switching out his fists for open hands so he could actually hold a rifle, and now Deadshot is ready to take on Batman (from afar of course).
The other day a teaser image of the upcoming NECA Arkham Origins 1/4 Scale Batman figure was posted on the NECA Twitter page. It’s expected to be released in early 2014, but NECA always relishes an opportunity to show off teasers of upcoming products to get the fans drooling in anticipation.

Hot Toys has revealed a slew of official images for their upcoming 1/6 scale 1966 Batman and Robin action figures. It seems everybody has the 1966 Batman fever lately. Mattel currently has a 6″ toy line out, NECA is releasing a 1/4 scale Adam West Batman later this year, and now Hot Toys! I think it’s amazing that this era of Batman has persisted so well over the decades, and always seems to have great selling merchandise.

Mattel just revealed on their Mattycollector Facebook page that the canceled Damian Wayne Robin figure would be in the 2014 Club Infinite Earths subscription for the DC Universe Signature Collection! This figure was originally slated for a retail release in the Batman Unlimited line, but both Batman Unlimited and DC Unlimited have been cancelled, and with them some figures that fans were looking forward to. Damian Wayne was revealed earlier this year to much fan excitement, but when it was cancelled a lot of fans immediately started asking Mattel to include him in the subscription for the 2014 Club Infinite Earths. Well it looks like those people got their wish, because it’s happening.
To sign up for the 2014 Club Infinite Earths and keep the Mattel DC action figures coming, just CLICK HERE! You’re only charged for the sub exclusive figure and that’s it! Sign up period ends Monday!

This past weekend at the 2013 Ani-Com & Game Hong Kong convention, Hot Toys unveiled some awesome figures. Among them are a 1/6 scale Man of Steel General Zod figure, and a 1/12 scale Dark Knight Rises The Bat vehicle. The Bat was going to be made on a 1/6 scale, but just proved to be far too large and expensive to be feasible, so it was shrunken down. It will include a 1/12 scale (6″) Dark Knight Rises Batman figure to accompany it, and it will include the bomb that Batman carries off with The Bat at the end of the film.

Hot Toys posted a teaser on their Facebook page of an upcoming figure, but it’s cloaked in mystery. They haven’t revealed what the figure is, but most fans seem to be speculating that it’s a figure of The Crow, as portrayed by the late Brandon Lee from the 1994 movie of the same name. I certainly hope so, because that would be amazing!

With that said, DC Collectibles has unveiled a ton of new action figures and statues due to come out next year. Among them are figures based on Greg Capullo’s art style in the current Batman run, and something I’m very much looking forward to: Arrow TV series action figures! That’s right, something fans have been wanting since the show first aired is now coming true. We’re getting a two-pack of Arrow and Deathstroke based on their looks from the TV series in a 6.75″ scale. And there’s lots more cool stuff coming your way from DC Collectibles.
