DC Fixing Quality Issues With Batman Animated Figures

Since their release, the line of figures based on the Batman animated series have come under fire for a number of quality issues. Namely, snapping due to weak plastic. DC has heard the complaints about the Batman Animated series figures and is going to correct them.

"Starting with most products in 2015, we are upgrading to POM (aka polyoxymethylene) for those joints previously made in polycarbonate. This is a stronger plastic that allows it to be molded in a color instead of clear. We have heard from our fans loud and clear that this is the number one issue for our action figures. We will continue to use PVC (aka polyvinyl chloride) for the larger size joints (such as elbows and knees), ABS (acrylonitrile butadiene styrene) for harder plastics and on a case by case basis, we will be thickening the size of very small joints. This may affect some of the aesthetic look of the small Batman Animated characters but we feel the balance between look and quality will be appropriate."

This will result in a delay of upcoming figure waves. The Joker, Robin and Man Bat have been pushed back to March and Posion Ivy has been pushed back to the last wave in the series.
