Honestly I think the Injustice designs would suit Figuarts better, personally. The Rider Figuarts with their armour and what have you are nice, bulky figures but a lot of the time the sentai figuarts are almost...feminine in how slender the sculpt is as they have nothing to build on top of it, like they don't with superhero costumes and bodies that slender wouldn't work for superheroes at all, unless they are only making women.

But Super Sentai characters aren't muscular. A lot of DC characters are going to have some muscular build to them so its not really the right comparison to make. A better one would be the bodies of the DBZ Figuarts.

Fair enough. I've never owned the DBZ Figuarts because I heard they were terrible.

I don't get the hate yea simplistic we want get it like the other due to WB interactive a own both and the mechanics for it slightly different I think better then MK

I don't like Street Fighter, Marvel vs Capcom is decent, and while I am a Soul Calibur fan, V sucked. Same goes for Dead or Alive. I'll take MK over all of them, especially when MK9 gave us a fully story mode and everything, and no game until Injustice has even achieved the amount of features and stuff MK9 gave us. And until Ca$hcom stops putting on the DLC and milking their franchises, they will never be able to achieve what MK9 did (nor will I touch another Ca$hcom fighter until they learn their lessons). Not to mention MK has Fatalities, which no other game does, and I like finishing moves. Oh yeah, and the combat system is nice and easy to use, combos are fluid and quick, blocking is easy, etc.

I have no idea what you mean by DC Universe Online. Are you saying they took a multiverse story from that came which DC has been doing in their comics since the 60's? You can't exactly steal your own material.

You haven't looked at the N52 costumes in the current comics, have you? They are no different.

Now this I do agree with.

You obviously don't know that I'm a comic shop manager. I look at this stuff everyday. Trust me i know what they look like.

The DCU Online game had a comic, a 26 part series that detailed the events of what happened after Luthor's nanites came back in time and gave people powers. It directly follows the opening cinematic of the game.

There are tons of elements from that comic that have been lifted and used for Injustice. Injustice is so far from original it's hilarious, that's why it boggles me that it's been as successful as it has. There are just so many elements taken wholesale from other DC properties and crammed together here. I can't like a game like that. They didn't really come up with anything original so it was disappointing to me.

Yes they do. The new 52 suits may have more armour plating than they need, but the Injustice suits are just "ARMOUR. ARMOUR EVERYWHERE."

If Figuarts(or D-Arts if this is Injustice as rumored) is doing DC, I hope we get a decent Hal or any other GL. Hopefully Bandai is smart enough to know that ANY lantern character needs to come with constructs*death glares at Matty*.

Injustice huh, I'm not crazy about the designs except for Green Arrow and Captain Marvel (I refuse to call him shazam), hopefully we'll also get comicbook versions, I would like to get Flash and Aquaman, and maybe some other guys.

Den-O I may have to challenge you on this one...(KoF 98 perhaps?) Injustice is one of the more balanced fighting games I have played. It has a story, yes..original? no...but if I want a story of Superman taking over I'll read Squadron Supreme...Injustice is a fun game that is easy for novices to pick up and hold their own against vets. It pulls the elements of the DC characters and the only reason for the nanites plot device is to explain how the Joker can take a punch by Superman lol. I've played all from Bushido Blade to World Heroes 2 Jet...Hell I used to run video game tournaments in college (did a Katsucon and the first Magfest as well...) and as a game I like it...and the design will go well with Figuarts, especially ones like Deathstroke and Nightwing and Cyborg.

Even the plot isn't original, as it's pretty much exactly like the Justice Lords episode of Justice League.

With Clark killer the jocker instead of led and joker making him think Louis was dooms day and kills her and there unborn child

Kain, you have a weird idea of fun.

What really pisses me off about N52 coics isn't ARMOR OMG ARMOR! It's Catwoman. My Catwoman is the Selena Kyle of the 1990's. Purple suited, luxerious raven locked, Selina Kyle. The Selena Kyle who was a strong independent woman that man who woman could look up to. Who'd endure so much and still stayed true to who she was.

This N52 Catwoman is, for lack of a better word, a Slut. I hate her. I miss my Knights End Catwoman. This new one.. I certainly wouldn't let me daughter read anything about her. (And yes, I know how prudish that makes me sound. But Damn..)

I did know you where farther sentai I lean some thing about members every day

I'm not a Father. I was just saying generally if I had one I wouldn't. I'd much rather she read 90's Catwoman for a strong female lead.

Ah ok I told my Gf that when we have there growing on evey thing 90's

Depends on which ones you are looking at. Each character has at least two different costumes, the Injustice League version and then the versions that are closer to the N52 ones. Some of them are bad (WW), but ones for like Flash, Harley, Deathstroke, and Aquaman, are actually pretty awesome.

I definitely agree with this. I don't like some of the personality changes to the characters (such as Starfire becoming an intergalactic slut), but some characters did get better treatment because of the N52 such as Aquaman, Swamp Thing, Etrigan, and the JL Dark crew (I would also say Voodoo and Resurrection Man, but their comics were canned quite quickly). I also gotta say I like the N52 version of Superman's costume and its origins. On the other hand, the N52 has royally f'ed up Harley, Joker, Catwoman, most of the Teen Titans, Green Arrow, Hawk and Dove, etc. So there is just as much bad as there is good. I think the biggest issue though is that the N52 did not need to happen. Nothing big came from rebooting the universe other than plot holes Optimus Prime could drive through and continuity issues. It was more like a half-boot instead of a reboot, making it extremely lazy and poorly written.

It feels like they spent all their time devoloping the male characters and when it came time to Starfire, Catwoman, Wonder Woman, they just shrugged and went for slut.

For what I gathered from WW due to here brief apples few in my main buys of the N52 that's supermans and all his titles I like her and hope to see her sips do more with there relationship

Thankfully Batgirl, Batwoman, Huntress and Power Girl are still pretty rad. I still miss old Huntress and Oracle horribly, but all things considered they've done a good job with them in the reboot.

Anyway, we're getting a bit off topic here :lol

Z, Powergirl was always a bit of a walking sex joke.

But yes we are :lol

What I'd really like to see is more anime Figuarts. I need Edward and Alphonse Elrich. Al can be in his soul-attached armored form, and come with a little figuarts zero of him as a boy. I'd love that. And Greed, Gluttony, Lust. Scar!

Scar.. My God how fucking awesome would Lion King Figuarts be? Scar, Man, Scar!

movie the DC comic Posts or Topic over to the New Thread fpr such a thing and also Disney movie Figuarts Scar yes Please

are the armor girls project figuarts?

if you know about armour girls post in my armor girls project thread

I would love FMA figuarts! Those ugly revoltechs are alright...for now. I still want naruto figuarts though :(

I'm not gonna give my opinion on Injustice as a game or DC and the direction it's been taking their characters.

But the Injustice designs are on par with the crappy 90's Avengers cartoon in terms of quality and it makes me groan and shake my head. Shame, I would've been interested in DC Figuarts if they went with designs that weren't shit.

Uh. Guys.

Android 17 is the new thing there... But already had that leaked last night so I'm not surprised. And it does make sense.

But.

Uh.

There's also an articulated Shenron.

WUT.

Also, Injustice figures confirmed for Figuarts, not D-Arts. I'm not crazy about the designs, really, but the reason for my initial shock is that they got the license to make them. Assuming they make it to the US, unlike Iron Man and War Machine... I thought Mattel had that locked down tight.

So it's confirmed huh, neato

They made Iron Man, they made Daft Punk. Nothing about Figuarts really surprises me any more.

They made Iron Man, but can't sell him in the US.

But debuting Injustice at SDCC kind of implies they'll be able to do that.

Well I imagine that has something to do with the fact that Hasbro has the licensing rights to distribute IRon Man toys in the US

The androids look nice, cant wait to get them together. Krillins gi color looks funny compared to goku. Still picking him up though. DAT SHENRON! I was thinking about how awesome it would be to have one. Bandai just knows!

Right... And Mattel has DC.

No, Mattel only has the license to do DC figures in retail and stuff. Square has a DC license. Obviously DCC does. Years ago, Bandai had the license to do Teen Titans figures from the cartoon. DC pretty much pimps out their license to anyone who wants it. I just hope Bandai goes ahead with comic versions of DC characters if their Injustice license does well.

There's a couple I'd buy. Hawkgirl, Frost, Green Arrow.

Am I alone in wanting some Lion King Figuarts? Come on xD Scar! Simba! Mufasa! Whatever the Hyenas were named! Or FMA. I'll take either.

Green Arrow has one of the better Injustice designs. Shame I don't really care for the character...
I really want DC Figuarts, but just thinking it's Injustice just disappoints me...

And I'll totally get Figuarts of the hyenas (Shenzi, Banzai, and Ed, btw).

I'm interested to see them but I still don't have high hopes based on the lackluster designs.

And I find it odd that they aren't D-Arts. Mainly only because it's a game property, and because Bluefin teased a D-Arts western franchise reveal. Did they just mistakenly put D-Arts in that teaser image instead of figuarts.

Well, Injustice is also a comic, right? I don't know why they wouldn't put it under the D-Arts brand, but that's the only reason why I can figure out why they wouldn't.

Unless they intend on releasing DC characters in non-Injustice designs (Which would be awesome), and just that the first wave will be Injustice designs.

I'd be ALL OVER some non-injustice designs. Pre or post New 52. Gimme Booster Gold and Ted Kord Blue Beetle and I'm set!

But yes there is an Injustice comic. But also much like the DCUOnline comic it's based on the game and sort of fleshes out the background. It's more about elaboration than anything.

The sign (see TFW Figuarts thread) says "Injustice x S.H. Figuarts". So I dunno what's up with the D-Arts listing. Probably some other fighting game I have zero interest in.

They could come in a special three-pack! Just imagine how amazing they'd look with a Scar leaping out from behind them.. Disney. Do something right for once! You cancelled Tron: Uprising! You owe me!
