Gong Studios Hush Batman

That's fair, though I still regard many of them as excellent. I'd tier the ones I own/have owned like this:

The tiering is about what I would do. I have the reissued Spidey without the Peter head and I would put him on the low end of excellent, simply because he's one of my all-time fidget figures.

I didn't go full complete with hush, I mostly wanted the family and a couple key villains. But there's something about the likenesses that are a tad soft, and you mentioned the proportions.

I think my top two would be Nightwing for overall action figure goodness and Ivy just for stepping off the page.

I've said it a lot in other threads here, but my approach to a lot of these figures is they're crooked but they are the only game in town.

It is nice that other game is stepping in.

I love Lee’s take on Batman and Superman, but not much else so the majority of the Hush line does nothing for me. From afar, I admire Daredevil, Carnage, and the Cyborg Superman. I think Medicom has done a lot of other good/adequate figures, they just tend to be nothing I feel I need or there’s a design element I don’t care for. Their Magneto, for example, looks almost perfect but I don’t like the shaded portrait or power effects, and if I don’t like something about a $100 figure then it just really isn’t worth it to me.

Yeah Magneto really needed one more portrait to be perfect for me. But I love having him unhelmeted like in Unadjectived #1 just being a badass.

Bombusbee is (was always?) selling Bats for 75USD with free shipping. 102 Canuck.

So fuck me I guess for going through Pop. Every other vendor in Canada also wants 170.

I paid $98 at Gundammit and I'm still waiting. It arrived in the US today. I think it's been handed over to USPS for delivery.
I'm looking forward to this again after Tony Meis killed some of my enthusiasm.

He looks cool posed up, which is all we really want.

I ordered the InArt Arkham Batman through Bombusbee. Hadn't heard of them before.

I'm still waiting. The hand off from Yanwen to USPS has been ongoing since 12/26 at 10:15pm. They're in NJ, I'm in CT. I could've walked there.

The Yanwen to USPS is a bit different from what I've been seeing since August. I've been getting Yanwen to UniUni, which has been very efficient. The day after a package arrives in NJ, someone from Uni would drive the package to my door in three hours. Although I recently read complaints about Yanwen-Uni in the Hot Toys DKR thread on the Sideshow Freaks message board.

MY prior package from HK was a Hot Toys a few days before Thanksgiving. At the time I poo pooed the UPS $60 shipping + $25 customs, but it arrived in three days, even with the holiday. Right now I'm thinking, just let me pay the shipping.

My figure was finally delivered over the weekend. I say "finally", even though it didn't spend an outrageously long time in transit. His joints feel like they're moving well and I can't find any weird issues with the wrong parts. All the musculature outlines of his legs appear correct.
