    Eternal - 1/6 Gentleman of Crime (Batman Returns Penguin)

    Thanks for the advice. Doing so allowed me to remove most of the specks (~85%), including the long lines. Most of them came out pretty quickly. I'm satisfied with that for now, and I'm sure the rest would come out more if I continued wiping/rubbing.

    DAF TOYS 1/6 TDK Joker Gang Mask Set

    Got my set a few weeks ago, and recently found some time to put some hair on them. Overall, I think the set of masks are pretty cool. I do have a few accuracy concerns, which are frustrating, as it doesn't seem like it would've cost more to do it right - they were just dumb mistakes that...

    Eternal - 1/6 Gentleman of Crime (Batman Returns Penguin)

    Mine came yesterday. While the figure for the most part looks quite excellent, the headsculpt has a serious issue. There are little black specks and lines all over the top of his ostensibly bald dome. I'm not sure, but it looks to me like little pieces of the hair or fuzz that fell on the...

    Eternal - 1/6 Gentleman of Crime (Batman Returns Penguin)

    Any idea where one could find an equivalent body?

    Wait, so these pictures are with worked-on - but still original - hair?

    1/6 Hot Toys - The Flash - Batman (Modern Suit) Collectible Figure

    I'm considering getting this to make a "Batman 3" display, with a Robin Williams Riddler and Billy Dee Williams Two-Face. A Marlon Wayans Robin would probably be harder to put together. It's probably hoping too much that one of the earlier Keaton faceplates would fit in this guy's head. I...

    Eternal - 1/6 Gentleman of Crime (Batman Returns Penguin)

    I don't think many of us have actually seen the figure in our own hands yet to determine. But I'm not sure "pretty good" or "revolt" are going to be accurate.

    Eternal - 1/6 Gentleman of Crime (Batman Returns Penguin)

    I'm pretty sure it was 2013. I remember I had recently started a new job that year, and reading the news on the computer in my new office. Feeling a sense of relief that my collection might finally one day be "complete," as expensive custom figures had been the only way to go if I wanted a...

    Eternal - 1/6 Gentleman of Crime (Batman Returns Penguin)

    How much was this at 1/6 Kit? I got an invoice and it's confusing and doesn't make sense - want to make sure the math adds up.

    Eternal - 1/6 Gentleman of Crime (Batman Returns Penguin)

    I agree with Wor-gar, it's not all bad. The video shows the onesie is actually much better than the pics display. I like the weathering. The hair sucks, but hair is also quite difficult, so I can't expect much better for the price. The headsculpt is puzzling - it seems to lack the jowls of...

    Mars Toys 1/6 Batman & Robin - Mr. Freeze

    Especially for birds that have been touted (by Hot Toys) as being in that bush for more than 10 years now.

    DAF TOYS 1/6 TDK Joker Gang Mask Set

    I was just wondering about this one. I pre-ordered a few sets from Toyswonderland. Though now I'm seeing there's a lot of shade being thrown at them on another thread, so now I'm wondering if I should be worried...

    WB 100 - 1/6th scale Batman Collectible Figure [Hot Toys Exclusive]

    What an awful idea. It's almost like Hot Toys wanted to justify why they've decided to let DC and Batman licenses languish for nearly a decade. Release a terrible figure that almost no one wants, get terrible sales, and then say "See? DC/Batman figures don't sell very well, so it's good that...

    Eternal - 1/6 Gentleman of Crime (Batman Returns Penguin)

    I've already got two 1/6 rocket penguins for my custom Returns Penguin, so I'm happy to add two more to help make an armory. I might even be willing to pay for a few extra, if any Freaks don't want theirs and would like to offload them. (My Bank Robber Joker has a crew of bank robbing clowns...

    Eternal - 1/6 Gentleman of Crime (Batman Returns Penguin)

    The penguins should have their straps/chestplates painted a silvery color, not brown. Also the rocket launcher mechanism could stand to be more detailed/accurate. Very happy this is coming out, will definitely pre-order. I've got a custom DeVito Penguin, but he's on a fairly normal body, so...

    The Batman - Part II (October 3rd, 2025)

    Many "Batman" stories don't focus on Batman - it's almost just as much a shorthand for the setting ("The World of Batman"). For instance, the celebrated"Batman: Year One" is more of a James Gordon story than a story about the character of Batman. Nevertheless, it seems like you're judging a...

    The Batman - Part II (October 3rd, 2025)

    He's also almost nothing like "Darth Vader." Which makes sense, because the Bruce Wayne/Batman from the movie is not Darth Vader, just as he's not the comic book character. To expect otherwise, and to be disappointed by such, is irrational and not a particularly fair judgement. It's a movie...

    The Batman - Part II (October 3rd, 2025)

    Obviously the earlier drafts will be different from the final version. But in this case, I don't believe the changes you saw - between whatever draft you read and the final product - were a result of someone else (like Burton) changing Hamm's script without his involvement. If memory serves, I...

    Star Trek: Picard

    This is a frequent fan misconception. Kirk's original Enterprise was never the flagship. I'm not sure there's reason to believe any of the immediate followups were flagships, either - I think the Enterprise-D might have been the first (other than possibly NX-01, of course).

    The Dark Knight Rises - 1/6th scale Batman Armory with Bruce Wayne Collectible Set

    Having thought about this product over the past few days, I'm leaning less and less towards making a purchase on release. I like the Armory. I've been waiting for it for more than a decade. But the statue is a real buzzkill. 600 dollars is a lot of money, and the value-for-money just isn't...
