kendo and batcave

Photobucket

recently received one of these. its not out in stores yet, so cool that. i wasnt going to buy this set, so it worked out fine. the joker mini fig looks a lil more mature then the older one, and the batman fig is different then the older one, by just a smidge, the utility belt is different. and the emblem on the chest has yellow around it.

Bruce Wayne is a much better figure then ever before, bane's head has a more boxy feel. the poison ivy figure is completely new. it uses the same hawaiian girl hairpiece as the collectible minifig.

also received an early stocking stuffer. its an add on to the ninjago series, but i wont be playing the game. it does come with cards, and weapons, and say it is a "kendo" version of cole. if anyone has tried kendo, they'd know that the shinai (sword) is wielded with both hands on the hilt, which minifigs cannot do. so instead, they can hold their weapons in a nito-ryu style, one weapon in each hand, a dual wield. The bogu (armor) is very similar to that of the samurai collectible minifigs. the helmet is a completely new piece, and the face shield does not open up. it is a complete one piece like a knight's helmet with openings for the face, and is in two colors too!

I like the packaging....it reminds me of those toys at the Japanese supermarkets that are put together in a snap fashion, and comes with a little bit of candy.
