Knight Models have done a Batman game

[obsidian3d]

I've only read a few issues on teen titans, but technically isn't Tim still the third? He just calls himself Red Robin instead.

I *think* DC retconned it with the New 52 Teen Titans tpb to make him only Red Robin and never a Robin.

Christ, too expensive I'm afraid. I love the figures, and I love Batman, but screw those prices!

Yup correct and totally bollocks!!!! They even edited the trade after the floppy to remove Tim's reference to being Robin the boy wonder. Does the current clown in charge of the reboot actually know anything about Tim's importance to the events after death in the family and a lonely place of  dying story lines.

Any rant off and I've ordered some of the new dc clicxies so will just download the rules now. Shame knight felt the need to have to milk the licence so hard.

The price is high because the quality is great. Other ministures are selled in the same price with a common or lesser quality.
The game will use 3 to 12 miniatures, is optional.
Here we are expecting for bane and crew!!!!

Batman has been out for quite some time (I have two).  Size wize, he isn't too far off my normal minis.  While he towers over Hasselfree stuff, he looks very in place with some of the larger lines out there.

Anyhow, as I think Batman: Arkham City is arguably one of the best XBOX games ever (and certainly the best SuperHero Xbox game), I'm a huge fan of the look and the line.

I'll be getting them all, damn the price.

The minis are in the expected range, given the cost of their early release Batman figure. Which is to say they are by no means cheap, as unfortunately you have to pay VAT and p&p (negligeble perhaps if you are in Spain but prolly not if you are anywhere else) on top of the already fairly high listed price. Obviously you can get by with even fewer minis than you can in, say, Infinity or WARMACHINE but they are still priced more @ collector level than @ gamer level.

Totally disagree. Knight miniatures quality is great but why should it be accepted that three 30mm miniatures should be over £42! Infinity miniatures are of very high quality and as such command a high price. But over 50% AT LEAST less than these look like being.

Appreciated thst licences add a premium but sorry, too high.

While I do love me some Batman, I agree that the price is discouraging, even for small groups, since I tend to buy a couple of teams for any game I start playing.

But you never know -- sooner or later I'll probably see them somewhere at a price I can afford, and if that happens I'm not averse to snapping 'em up.

[Major_Gilbear]

Unfortunately as much as I like these, £40+ for four 30mm figures (joker gang) just doesn't work for me.

Their webstore shows €29,74... Which is still expensive.

I think that these are far too prohibitive in money-terms for me, especially given the number of very decent and affordable alternatives out there.

The StarWars figures I have from KM are also impossibly delicate and gaming-unfriendly (not to mention the number and nature of the bits they all come in). I can see these Batman ones being the same sadly. 

As for cost comparisons with Infinity figures... Well, many equivalent Infinity figures are still "only" 70% of the price, and I can attest that their quality is overall slightly higher IMO the KM figs I've received.

Put 'em in your shopping cart, it then adds the VAT - €6,25 for a Total of €35,99 - so the Boxed Set is ACTUALLY £28.85 and not £40+ LoL! €41,99 (£33.65 including basic shipping).

Still pricey though.

I'm with Commander Vyper on this. We're used to paying a lot for quality (and that's not always true anyway, some cheap figures are great quality), but these prices are insane for gaming.

[Commander Vyper]

Ok so my currency convertor was a little out but you you know what I mean. I'll create a joker inmate gang using modern figures I have to hand with a clown face PJ, grab a heroclix Mr Jo.Ker and use my heroclix, crossover and other supes with the rules if they are digestable of course.

And there's me avoiding the infinity pull cause I thought they were a little pricey!

Yep. But look on the bright side: with the 21% VAT applicable to inter-EU-shopping and a fairly expensive European p&p (which does include VAT as well of course), the rest of the world may well get to pay less for the minis than you Brits or us Finns

As a bit of an aside, Wayland Games announced in their latest newsletter that they are bringing the KM Batman figs to Brittain, at a bit less dear price per mini than the manufacturer.

ETA: oh and this I seem to have forgotten to ask:

Have you been able to compare the Bats to the Eden stuff from Taban? I was looking at them again earlier today (a bit before I wrote the original of this message) and started thinking that some of the Jokers in particular might fit in as fillers into the Joker's crew. The word is that they are plenty big but I'm not sure what that means really -- I only have a couple of the beasties (Lycals or whatevertheyarecalled) and I'm not at all sure how big they are supposed to be compared to the humans.
