Mostly what I purchase around here are six-inch scale, what I would consider mid-range collectible figures, like Marvel Legends or DC Multiverse. There are higher end figures, like the Mezco One: 12 that are still in scale; but there are also some lower end, kid-oriented toys that are fudgably pretty close. Hasbro and Marvel did lines for Black Panther and Avengers: Infinity War that have less articulation and are slightly smaller, but also perhaps half the price of a Legends figure. And Mattel and DC have Batman: Missions, like this Bane figure!
I feel like Bane skipped leg day: the chest is grotesquely muscular, as are the arms even though they are broken up by the joints. (Also, I hate it when I write several posts at once and use the same phrase twice, but here we go!) The hands seem big, which makes me wonder how the Venom steroid would work: it's like all the meat parts of him get bigger, but the bones wouldn't, and the skin would stretch like a big balloon full of ham. Gross. Bane also has the traditional Venom feed tube. It's pretty long, though. Bane gets one accessory: a chain-mace thing. It's not great.
Bane might not fit in with six-inch figures as well as the Riddler, but we might see what we can do with him. I almost think with a different pelvis and legs he could be upscaled a bit.
That Bane figure's not bad actually. A good customizer could fix the legs and pelvis, and make him fit better with 6 inch figures.
ReplyDeleteLOVE how you snuck the Doom Patrol in there. I wish you'd write more skits about them like the old(er) days.
