Arkham City's Two Newest Citizens: The Joker and Robin

Posted 8/19/11 5:00 pm ET by Lemonjuice McGee in Mattel, News, Toys

Mattel's Batman: Legacy line of action figures has been very well received by both collectors and the general buying public. with figures such as Catman and Batmite in the lineup, there's a little something for everybody. One of the highlights thus far has been the Arkham City two-pack featuring Batman and Two-Face in their looks from the upcoming video game. Of course, one of the complaints has also been that they are too tall to fit in scale with the rest of the fan's Bat-Collections. Mattel is remedying this, by making sure those two aren't alone. the second round of two-packs were premiered at SDCC, but here are our first good looks at both Robin and the Joker figures from their upcoming set.
