Batman v Superman Figs Show Crazy Detail
We’d recently seen a few teases about the newest Batman v Superman action figures and just how detailed they are.
More than the trailers or spy photos, the merchandise tie-ins for new DC films have given us absurd amounts of information. We recently learned quite a bit about about Suicide Squad’s synopsis from the statues that will go on sale soon, and now these BvS figs answer some questions we had as well. ‘
Hot Toys now gives us some sweet rundowns of what you can expect from these figures, including some things people were upset about before. Remember that gun from the latest trailer? Yeah, it’s a bomb launcher.
Then there’s the grappling gun.

I’m fine with all that, but strangely there is no explanation of the sniper rifle we saw in early images.
"The movie-accurate collectible figure is specially crafted based on the image of Ben Affleck as Batman from the film. It features a newly developed masked head sculpt with 3 interchangeable eye pieces and lower faces, newly developed body which can naturally portray Batman’s muscular body, meticulously tailored Batsuit, detailed Batman gadgets, and a specially designed Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice themed figure stand.A special edition will be available for selected markets which includes an additional sniper rifle as bonus accessory.Customers in selected markets pre-order both Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice 1/6th scale Batman and Superman collectible figures at same time will receive an additional Batman Tech Cowl as bonus accessory."
I’m guessing that rifle will be a clever throwback to the rifle Batman dealt with in Dark Knight Returns – just like most of the aesthetic in the film.
I mean, just look at the costume.
Though the Superman fig doesn’t have as many gadgets, it isn’t any less detailed.
"The movie-accurate collectible is specially crafted based on the image of Henry Cavill as Superman in the movie, featuring a newly developed head sculpt, movie-accurate body proportion, newly tailored Superman costume with embossed pattern, the iconic red cape made with new material, and a specially designed Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice themed figure stand.A special edition will be available for selected markets which includes an additional LED light-up Kryptonite as bonus accessory.Customers in selected markets pre-order both Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice 1/6th scale Batman and Superman collectible figures at same time will receive an additional Batman Tech Cowl as bonus accessory."
