I finally got one and am hyped - i got a great lookin plush inside - but are these "old style" arms on this Brain? they seem longer and more string-bean-ish than the other Brains I have |

Yeah the earliest brains had longer, more slender arms. More like a model, less like a boxer. |

i noticed that with mine too. i just figured that the person i bought it from took it apart to peek the plush, and accidently reformed the arms....or something... |

Yeah i thought the longer arms were only on the black proto as well - and the guy i bought this from told me he never took this apart and i can tell he never did - so i wonder about these arms.....i like em - a little different than what im used to but they look cool i think - ill snap a comparison pic in a sec |

it must be just me but i dont see the diffrence in the arms compared to say the tiffany or skullitor, i can say they look slightly thinner, but i think thats because theyr clear. when i put them side by side with the tohers they prettymuch look the same to me. |

hahah - i cant believe i even noticed it - its hardly a difference but i can tell - none the less i love my batbrains and am on the hunt for more - i wish they'd do an 80's series as suggested before - plush of all our favorite cartoons from back in the day would rule |

I had a Green Barbarian with one arm significantly longer then the other. You could tell because the plush inside went down to the tips of the fingers on one and only to the forearm of the other... I ended up using the arms in a custom. I just figured it was stretched during the initial de-molding. phil |

I had this same question a while back and found that they all come from the same mold. Some are stretched longer while they're pulled from the mold. You'll see longer arms with a lot of the clear figures as the vinyl is softer and more stretchy. Technically longer arms are defects. |
