Wow.

So, I wasn't going to pick up the latest series of DC Direct Kia Asamiya figures (Batman, Two-Face, Joker, and Catwoman). I still might not, but I did admire them as my favorite comic shop owner took them out of the case.

Each comes packaged in a roughly 8" cubic box with a window opening in front. The figure comes packed at varying distances from the window. The Batman is about halfway back on the right. The Two-face is near the front on the left. The Joker is near the front on the left, and the Catwoman (as I recall) is similarly positioned to the Batman, halfway back and to the right. The packaging allows the light to play off each figure differently, which makes me want to buy each just to display them in-box.

But then I realize they're $20 apiece. And the Catwoman is a bit too "manga" (as a friend of mine put it) to fit with the rest of my collection. The Two-Face is great, as is the Batman. The Joker, I could take or leave, since he reminds me of the Hush Joker and the Mattel 6" Joker.

I may still go back for them. Who knows. Especially since they're pushing back the release date for the Contemporary Teen Titans till next month.
