Its not. Its basic mcfarlane articulation (which means mid), diaper, and a few extra pieces (standard load out). But hey, these companies know all they have to do is slap some name like "Platinum", "Quantum", "Ultra", "Mega" etc on it and maybe toss in a few hands more than what they normally do, and eloi will show up, money in hand. Cant really be mad with the company, they see an opportunity and they go for it.

Was it not some very short lived (if well drawn) dark fantasy thing by Dreamwave comics, that died alongside Transformers and other comics when Pat Lee ran the company into the ground? I always thought the main character was a ripoff of Guts from Berserk, he looked so similar, and half of the second volume was about fighting some big amalgam of corpses that was also straight out of Berserk...
Battle Chasers was by Joe Madureira at Wildstorm. It was very short lived at first and very slow to deliver new issues, but the art and certain character designs were interesting. I recently played a roleplaying game on Steam based on it and had fun. So I definitely remember it. I probably still have some of the original issues somewhere.

Anyway, the news was about Nighthawk or whoever... who is this guy, he looks like those chinese knockoff figures that merge different characters... in this case, repainting Hawkman into silver and black and giving him Captain America's shield...

Yes, I'm sorry you two even mentioned this as a possibility. Battlechasers figures would be amazing and now I'm thinking about how much I want them.

I'd pay that for a Wetworks fig. Or a Wildcat. Battlechasers, Darksiders, Even Supreme or Prophet.
If this was 25-35 price range...it would be a for sure grab (because he's a brotha) but yeah...not jumping that high. I WILL be going to track down some SH trades though!!
