Fans of the Batman: Arkham Asylum video game have been clamoring for action figures, and DC Direct is stepping up to the plate. According to Previews, Toyfare #156, on newsstands on June 9, will reveal DC Direct’s upcoming line of Arkham Asylum toys.
At DC Direct’s show room at Toy Fair (the event in January, not the magazine), Jim Fletcher told us that they used the 3D materials from Rocksteady to produce their Arkham Asylum Bats in their Black and White statue line. So I’m confident that the figures will be look great – I’m just wondering how much articulation they’ll put into the figures. I hope it has as much as the awesome Arkham Asylum Batman custom by DoubleDealer.
