Did anyone notice that the figure is just a repaint of the Hush line Batman. I still like it because of the black outfit.

Yeah, the entire Unmasked line is DC making a bit more money from reused molds. All of the bodies are from previous releases, with new head sculpts. I'm not crazy about the Hush Batman's sculpt, but I like that they've painted it in the color scheme of the late '90s Batman costume.

I've got my comic guy holding a Bruce Wayne and Clark Kent for me. Clark is the only one with an original sculpt. Bruce is Hush Batman. Joker is Alfred's Body and a Joker head. J'onn is the figure that came out several years ago (but has been very hard to find so this is actually a good thing to be re-released). Batgirl is a repaint of the one from the two pack with Joker.
After looking at them in the package they do look pretty cool. I've wanted a 6" scale Bruce Wayne for a while anyways, and I really wanted a Batman with the oval bat symbol, so this is a great thing for me to pick up.
The one thing I wish they had done with the Clark Kent is to put ball joints in the arms so that you can pose him pulling open his shirt instead of just standing there with the Superman symbol showing. It would be cool to see someone retool a figure to be able to do that.

I thought about that, too. DC Direct figures usually have pretty lousy articulation, though, and it doesn't seem like they want to change. They had the Superman line a few years ago that had very good arituclation, but we've rearely seen anything on that level since. It's really too bad. I'm not getting the Clark Kent figure mainly for that reason.

I'm not sure which figures I'll end up getting from this line. I do like the Batman and Clark Kent, and it'd be pretty cool to try and make a factory diorama for the origin of The Joker. If the J'onn Jonz figure works well as a regular Martian Manhunter I may get him too. Some of these would almost be worth getting two, to do a head-swap and give them formal attire (Bruce Wayne in a suit, etc.).
