Should Dc Give Bandai The Batman And Jl License?

[Scott]

I have been hearing alot of good things about the way Bandai has handled the Teen Titans line so far and was curious if anyone else would like to see DC take the Batman and JL lisence away from Mattel and give it to Bandai?

[Scott]

anyone????

I saw the Teen Titans toy line.

I am not so impressed though.

 

So far mattel isnt bad so just be more patients.

bandai's quality for the teen titans kinda sucks to tell you the truth. It would be like going from far to worse.

The Titans figs are too akward fot my taste, but if they can maintain the Mattel scale and quality, while packing the cases with a bit of intelligence, instead of letting a blind, ##$%$#ed, chimp pack the assortments I'd be up for it.

I rather see a Microman JL set after seeing what they did with Batman in that line. I'm getting really close to deciding to make Hawkgirl happen myself.

I think Mattel should learn from Takara and ToyBiz. Both companoies keep improving themselves.

As a side note, the TT look like fast food toys, with descent articulation.

I hear you there. They look like Happy Meal toys. I am REALLY mad what they have done to Raven. She's my fav character of TT and they screwed her over big time. Mattel doesn't know what they are doing with Batman and JL at all. We have a MILLION different variations of Batman and its worse that He-Man with the way other characters are treated. I think EVERYONE must already have a variation of Batman and are sick of seeing more. If I wanted a Robin, Joker, Batgirl, Mr Freeze, Nightwing, or anyone else I shouldn't have to buy another crappy Batman fig. ANd Mattel needs to learn- WE ACTUALLY WANT WONDER WOMAN AND HAWKGIRL. Kids want them just as much since they are VERY promonently shown on the cartoon. Just go to any toy store and watch when the kids are looking at them. "Where's Wonder Woman? I want a Hawkgirl figure! Daddy, when am I going to get them?"

Honestly, I agree with everyone here except with the Mattel to Bandai switch. NO WAY!!

 

I would rather see Batman in a Hot Pink Space-Suit fighting a Neon Orange Alien-Clone-Batman before I let Bandai get away with screwing up the line even more!!

 

Those Teen Titans figures are Horrible. As for them looking like Happy Meals, I thought the same thing when I first saw them! They look like the cheapest Happy Meal Toys. The MOTU Happy Meal Toys look so much better than this line. I am disappointed.

[pogoman]

I just saw them at TRU and those Teen Titans figures are pretty lame. They do indeed look like Happy Meal toys. I think the he man happy meal toys are way better than these.

How do we know Bandai will do a better job? They'll more than likely do with this like they did with the animated Tick line. Do a few waves,give up and go back to Power Rangers.

Man, Bandair really botched up the line....I'd hate to see what they'd do with the Full JLA license. That's why I haven't collected too many DC lines cuz they all suck or they are overpriced. DC Direct looks good, but it's overpriced and underarticulated and the Mattel stuff looks okay but they have WAY too many Batman Variations (as does the Spiderman Classics from ToyBiz but at least they are better looking and more articulated) and not enough line variation. Too bad ToyBiz can't get the license (since they are owned by Marvel) but I guess the next best company might be Art Asylum, they would give it a great likeness and playability. The best that could happen is that they do a JLA/Avengers line and let ToyBiz make the figures. That way DC & Marvel make money and we finally get DC toys worth buying.

I have to say that Bandi really messed up the Titans line...they look like crap...thank god DCD is making a few good ones

[Scott]

I like the Titan figures, they look like the cartoon characters and unlike mattels JL figures they can stand under their own weight.

[RavenGirl]

I kinda like the Teen Titans figures.. the sculpting is pretty bad on some of the smaller one.. the comic hero packs are cute.. i love the SD style figures... I picked up the three 6 inch figures & i love them.. I'm just sad they didnt make Raven & Starfire.

[Moshbot]

sd?? btw, welcome to the forums

Super Deformed. Little body, big head. Also can be called Chibi sometimes, but that's really midget versions of characters(Which the PVC set versions being refered to are closer too.)

[RavenGirl]

Thanks for the welcome!

 

In each set of the mini figures there is one (or 2) Super Deformed sorta styled figure..

 

as you can see in this pic:

 

I basically just got all the mini figure sets for all 5 of them..

 

they are too cute.

Do what I do make DC figs out of Marvel Legends

@Spidey@ + @Spawnny@ = @bats@

I have not like much of any of the DC stuff for years.

I have one DC Direct

Superman sure he has 21 joints but he can't do crap I would rather have 10 that can move.

HE CAN'T EVEN SIT IN A CHAIR!

It's like most customizing, find a figure body type that's close, pop parts you need, repaint and glue and dremel and....
