Batman

My small collection of Batman and Batman villains action figures. Generally, I prefer the Four Horsemen's sculpt of the villains from the DCSH line, but for Batman, I still prefer DC Direct's sculpts. Then again, DC Direct did release over a thousand different variations and artistes' rendition of Batman.

Avatar, Aang review

Here is my review of Aang, from Avatar, the legend of Aang.

Packaging
Accessories
Aang comes with his staff, his glider and Momo, his pet Winged Lemur.

Sculpting
IMO, Aang's sculpt doesn't fare as well as compared to Sokka, . The action figure only bares a resembles of 60% to 70% to his animated counterpart. The figure has a blank expression on its face which causes it to look less like the animated Aang.

Articulation
Aang fares better in articulation than Sokka. He has cut neck, ball-jointed shoulders, swivel biceps (below the sleeves), pin bows, hinged mid-body articulation, waist joint, ball-jointed hips, double pin knees, swivel calves and pin ankles. The inclusions of cut wrists and a ball joint neck would have made his perfect.

I had thought that the outer yellow pants would have made his hip joints completely useless. While it does somewhat hinders the hip articulation, the use of soft rubber for his outer pants does allow for some room for his hips to move.

That's all folks
