DC Superheroes S3 Bane

Bane is one of my favorite characters of all time. He's the epitome of the Batman paradox that The Dark Knight movie touched upon: the idea that Batman, by his mere existence, draws insanity to Gotham City. It's a concept I find interesting, and Bane-- super intelligent, and stronger than Batman himself-- proves the danger of Bruce Wayne's vigilantism.

Since this blog is supposed to be about toys, though, I'll go out on a limb and say that this Bane (the first DC Superheroes Select Sculpt Series figure I got) is one of my favorites of all time. The figure's feet are set too far apart, but that's the only shortcoming. The detail of this figure is incredible; the boots have tread, his every vein is visible, and the green Venom tubing is sturdy and adds to the overall look of the figure. It is definitely the one that started my love affair with DC Superheroes S3, and my only regret about getting it is that I didn't get the "running adaptation" of Osito (Bane's teddy bear-- I told you he was awesome) as an accessory.
