BrickFit26 Posted January 16, 2017 Posted January 16, 2017 I really want that battle pack with Chief O'hara. Quote
telaruhn Posted January 16, 2017 Posted January 16, 2017 Got all 20 CMFs at my local TRU. They had a 4.99 price sticker on the box but they were 3.99 on the website. So I showed them and they matched it! It was pretty easy to feel for, but I did almost mix up the lobster with the crab from the Zodiac Master. Overall a nice series. Orca's head is the best thing ever, it looks great on the costumed figures! My favorites have to be Lobster Lovin' Batman, Eraser and Calculator. Quote

Actually, Penguin does go to Arkham. A lot. Quote
Robert8 Posted January 16, 2017 Posted January 16, 2017 I think Penguin goes to Blackgate/Stonegate, instead of Arkham Same with Catwoman, Killer Croc and Mr. Freeze Quote

But ya the other two don't. But I still bought 9 Joker Jumpsuits so that I could put them in my Arkham too. Quote
Ashnflash Posted January 16, 2017 Posted January 16, 2017 For all those people believing that we're getting that Wayne Mansion that appears in the Essential guide. Here's a nice look at what Arkham really looks like in the movie. Just look at the size of that! Look at the Statue of Amadeus Arkham.... So if we get Wayne Manor don't expect anything close to that size. Quote

I had the Penguin from the Batcave set, and the second Penguin from the Arctic roller set, so I decided to make an Arkham Penguin out of one of them. I had a bunch of extra Arkham, orange jumpsuits, from the Joker CMF's, but I needed the short orange legs to complete the Penguin. Anyway, I bought a bunch of the micro DC sets, of the Killer Moth, and Batman one, and the Killer Moth fig comes with the short orange legs. So, that's a cheap, and readily available set, where you can get the short orange legs, and make an Arkham Penguin fig. Perfect, hadn't even thought of this set! Thank you! Quote

GoldenNinja3000 Posted January 16, 2017 Posted January 16, 2017 Wow! I love how accurately they captured the look of Arkham in the set! Really excited for this movie! Quote

Over the years they've all been depicted at some point, in some form of media – Comic, animation, movie or video game – of being incarcerated in Arkham... mainly because the characters have changed many times through the years. The Penguin for example was an eccentric criminal with a 'bird' motif to his crimes in his early days – now he's a full-blown underworld crime boss... not the comical fat-man he was. And look at Mad Hatter... his persona took a real dark twist! However it is true to say that Penguin and Catwoman certainly usually go to Blackgate, as they're not really criminally insane.... just criminals! Edited January 16, 2017 by dario2739 Quote

I really want to build some of those things... the gate... the truck...they are all so amazing! Quote

The Penguin was in Arkham City because both the Asylum and Blackgate were consolidated since Strange's plan was to murder all of the inmates. its possible that O'Neil or any of the Bronze Age writers may have included em at some point but for the most part, when pitching a story you don't send the Penguin to Arkham.

But LEGO put Penguin in the other Arkham and Selina in this one so I don't mind. Just to let everyone know that Batgirl looks different in the movie. She has yellow glowing eyes, where as with the minifigure you can actually see her eyes. Anyways there's a new TV Spot if you want to check that out a long with Jim Gordon also having the same trench coat piece as Barbara. Quote
BigGuy4U Posted January 16, 2017 Posted January 16, 2017 Seems like to me that Lego always just sends all the villains to Arkham. Blackgate/Stonegate have never appeared in the video games or anything else they've done that I know of. Quote
GentlemanJoker Posted January 16, 2017 Posted January 16, 2017 Well some of the characters probably plead insanity in court, but i agree sending everyone to Arkham every time is somewhat absurd. But it's Batman so I don't care! Quote

dario2739 Posted January 16, 2017 Posted January 16, 2017 Just watched the latest Barbara Gordon/Batgirl TV Spot... and wondered whether the interesting looking guy stood next to her in the 'Bat-Garage' may get released in the next line of CMFs... Quote
Cobb Posted January 16, 2017 Posted January 16, 2017 Penguin used to be obsessed with umbrella's, giant birds and precious eggs that guy was crazy nuts and used to go the asylum. The 2000 and up Penguin is a straight up weapons dealer, with just a nickname because of his looks and the Iceberg lounge. That Penguin goes to Blackgate if he forgets to bribe the right officials. Every other medium that doesn't belong to the mainstream DC comics universe can send him were ever they like. Quote
CommishGordon Posted January 16, 2017 Posted January 16, 2017 I think that guy is Alfred in some type of Bat-costume! Quote
vstat05 Posted January 16, 2017 Posted January 16, 2017 That does look a bit like Alfred's limo driver outfit, except with the bat logos and mask of course. This will be his second bat outfit if that's him. Quote

LegoTFGuy Posted January 16, 2017 Posted January 16, 2017 There isn't going to be another line of CMFs, but there could be more figures in summer or early 2018 sets. Quote
