Mattel’s ‘Absolute Batman’ Figures Are Coming for Whatever Shelf Space You Have Left

I already have a space problem with Absolute Batman. Now Mattel wants to make it worse.

With Scott Snyder and Nick Dragotta’s series approaching its milestone 25th issue, Mattel is showing off its DC figures at New York Comic Con, including Absolute Batman, Catwoman, Bane, Flash, and Hawkman. There’s also Batman and Robin based on Jorge Jiménez’s artwork, alongside Wonder Woman, Superman, and Mongul.

Several social media users on site shared photos of figures from Mattel’s DC Legacy Collection. And there’s a lot to get excited about.

This is a really wonderful sculpt, and it joins a growing lineup of ways to put this massive version of Batman on your shelf.

Hot Toys already has an impeccable sixth-scale figure up for preorder at $385, complete with interchangeable expressions, removable bat ears, and his Bat-Axe. It looks amazing if you have the space—and the money.

Then there’s McFarlane’s Elite Edition, which brings us the masked, dual-chainsaw Batman from the Poison Ivy nightmare in issues #17 and #18, illustrated by Eric Canete. That two-issue arc was a body-horror spectacular, and it makes for a pretty fucking great action figure.
