Metal Gear Solid isn't the only series getting some action figure love from Square Enix. The Rocksteady Batman games are also marching in the Play Arts Kai toy line parade.
To celebrate the recent release of Arkham City, Batman and Joker figures made their debut. Next in the set comes a battle armor Batman and Harley Quinn -- you can check out their action poses in the gallery below. The battle armor Batman reminds me of those goofy action figure-exclusive costumes that manufacturers concocted to sell more merch, a sentiment share by Jonathan Tubbs of Tomopop. Then there's Harley, looking positively slutty. Her original skin-tight spandex suit from The Animated Series was a lot sexier, I think.
But never mind that! There's one more character rounding out the lot -- Scarface! Scarface has always been one of my favorite Batman villains. The manifestation of a psycho ventriloquist's id inside a puppet modeled after Al Capone? Brilliant!
The regular Batman and Joker go for $59.99 each, and I assume the next figures will run similarly (Scarface comes bundled with Harley) once they're released in May. That may sound like a lot of cheddar, but Scarface is worth it.

Anyways,that Batman is pretty kickass,and I want that Scarface so I can put it next to my Geno statue.
Maybe because of kyponite in space, or something like that.
This remind me, i have a Batman with a mechanic suit with lazors (or harpoons), and the batman with water camo.
How large is Scarface? Not expecting anything of the sort but a full sized replica would be interesting.
There are more photos on Tomopop. One shows Scarface cradled in Harley's arm.
PERFECT!
Nah, cameos don't count, if you mean his display in the museum. I meant having him as an actual villain, and actually doing stuff.
But then again, that was probably me getting my hopes high after seeing the Mad Hatter.
I'd like to see if Rocksteady ever coded up a skin of that, just so see how she looked in it, in their game. But I don't think it'd be sexier. Aside from the face paint (I'm not into clowns, okay?) her AA outfit is much sexier then her AC outfit I thought (I guess I am into nurses, however!)
I really hope when (and I do think its a matter of time) they do the third game they bring in the Ventriloquist and actually do Scareface rather then make him an easter egg like they'd done in the last two games. I would think that Rocksteady could do wonders with a fight where the guy and his doll are two separate people, yet in a way the same.
