If you save up all your allowance or salary money purely to purchase a PS3 and the Arkam Asylum (game of the year, by the way !) game, no one would call you crazy - in fact, I would go so far as to day that your decision, while rash and totally instinctual, is a brilliant. In fact, I thank myself daily for having the foresight to purchase a PS3, and it's because of games like Arkham Asylum.
Being critically acclaimed has certain advantages to faithful fans such as myself: you can relate with other gamers, you can related with our geeks, and the merchandise that follows is awesome to see - for better or for worse (however, in this case, it's very good).
On total pre-order status and with pre-order sales running out fast, too the Batman: Arkham Asylum series of figures are set for release in January 2011. Two lines have already been confirmed and the details shown on promotional photos look true to the game and overall, great.
Batman: Arkham Asylum Series one figures are accompanied by character-specific accessories and a display base, and is packaged on a 4-color clamshell blister card.
The first set includes the following characters:
The Joker with Scarface (at 6.7” tall and 2” tall respectively). Characteristically clad in a pinstriped purple tuxedo, the ghoulish, leering Joker is accompanied by a monstrous saw-toothed version of Scarface.
Scarecrow (at 6” tall) is clad in dingy brown tatters and a baggy, noose-cinched re-breather mask, and comes equipped with a hose-heavy gauntlet used to deliver gaseous doses of his debilitating fear toxin.
The porcelain doll-like Harley Quinn (at 6.5” tall) is clad in a snug-fitting, short-skirted dress overlapped by an intricately-crafted dark red corset, along with gloves and thigh-high boots. This Harley version is practically the pick of the lot - her concept appearance is totally new and is very well aligned to the history of the character. I believe this costume is a fair rival to that of the Slave Princess Leia !
Finally, you have a Batman (at 6.75” tall), complete with yellow utility belt, flowing black cape, and thick-armored gauntlets and greaves.
Series Two of this video-game inspired action figure line compliments the first installment wave nicely:
Poison Ivy (at 6.5” tall), sparsely-clad Poison Ivy is adorned by delicate vein-like vines studded with miniscule darker-green leaves.
The introduction of Zsasz the murderer was a nice touch (at 6” tall). The lanky Zsasz is clad in institutional orange attire and manacled and padlocked restraint gear.
Bane although only 6.75” tall is a massive vein-laden figure clad in tattered institutional orange attire, encased in crude metal apparatus festooned with tangling acid-green wires and hoses.
And finally, also in the series is an additional Armored Batman (at 7” tall to top of ears).This version is clad in a sculptured armor chassis patterned after the standard Batman costume, complete with gold utility belt and billowing black cape.
