DC Club Infinite Earths Ra's al Ghul

[Avalon]

So I was super excited about this guy until I saw his pics at SDCC... I think he still has the potential to be a good figure but it'll take some work I think. I'm not too steady with a brush but it shouldn't be too hard to put the white in his hair.

Just a little bit ahead, but is anyone excited for Mattel's "Head of the Demon"?

When he was first announced without any pics, I was happy as a monkey with a peanut machine...then I saw the production pic and my joy fell sharply.

I'm REALLY hoping he looks better than originally pictured but not holding my breath; I'd die otherwise and never be able to see him...need Lazarus Pit.

Anyone else?

[AcidDragon]

Looks like he used the Lazarus Pit one too many times, it took the grey right out of his wing tips. I might do a forearm swap with a cheap suited figure so I can give him some cuffs.

[Idiot Savant]

That's a good idea! It's a shame the 4H couldn't sculpt his head like the DC Direct one...I'm going to shave his eyebrows and add some age too

[AcidDragon]

DC Direct managed to make (from what I remember) 4 decent to awesome looking Ra's heads and Mattel with 4H couldn't make one... That's just so weird. Also the whole figure looks weird. Hawkman's giant fists. Lack of detail/paint apps on the cape, no cuffs, off headsculpt, scimitar is comical in size much like Rorschach's grappling hook gun.

A while back I picked up a DC Direct Hush series Ra's Al Ghul to swap out the head when I get the DCIE version.

[AcidDragon]

Thought I'd merge these two Ra's threads.

One of my all time favorite bat villains. Never excited about the prospect of a figure. kinda strange, but I was happy when announced and slightly disappointed in the execution seen in the sdcc pics. I too am hoping for a pleasant surprise when he ships,(ie he looks better than the pics), but I will gladly paint/modify at need.

[1987olds442]

You know it is too bad that with all the years Mattel was making the DCUC figures they never designed a new suit body.

[AcidDragon]

Yeah, I think the first figures to utilize that body were Clark Kent and Two-Face. It's passable for Harv but for Clark? No way...
