Yikes! This is probably the first Batfleck figure I won't get. He looks like the tubby tuba player in the school band on halloween! Strange, it feels like hot toys raises the bar with the Keaton release and then sh*ts on Batfleck :slap

I think there might be some merit in accusations that they don't have Afflecks license. Look at the two right sculpts, they're the same teeth sculpt but the new one has had its cleft chin removed / erased for seemingly no reason:

Now why would you not reuse an already made sculpt, but instead sculpt a brand new set of face plates that remove an actors most iconic facial feature?

It will be funny when the movie comes out and we realizes this Batman is Keaton all along and Hot Toys actually spoiled the movie

(I hope not cause that would be dumb)
 
Looks meh and I was hoping the cape and cowl would be more blue like in the trailers. Oh well, I'll stick with Keaton.
 
What is going on with this thing? Batman in BVS was the scariest version I've ever seen him in movies. This one just makes me afraid he'll come after my donuts. To be fair, the first BVS photos from Hot Toys was also wide and fugly but the suit design was already not one I favor and that face is just NOT Afleck. I wonder what is going on with the undersuit, though. If you were to remove the armor, will there be a complete suit underneath, with the symbol?
 
Yeah it looks like they lost the license for his likeness - either way, still a purchase for me. I ordered custom cowls for my BVS and Knightmare Bats. I will do the same for this one - at least a custom mouth plate.
 
No mention of Ben Affleck in the specs description. After seeing McFarlane’s generic headsculpt, I think it’s safe to say that Hot Toys and other toy companies were not granted the likeness rights for him.

All previous figures make mention of his likeness, even Batman figures without a Bruce Wayne head.

The movie-accurate collectible figure is specially crafted based on the image of Ben Affleck as Batman in Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice.

Gotta wonder if this throws a giant wrench into that InArt Batman :( Hopefully not if it's a China license

This makes me that little bit more happy with my Justice League figure and its pretty damn good Affleck likeness and Wayne sculpt. I know the outfit isn't as popular as BvS and even HT's execution of it could have been better but if I had been waiting for this new figure to represent Batfleck, man what a let-down.

I genuinely feel this is the only plausible explanation here. I might be seeing it wrong too, but doesn't the lips of the closed mouth plate look a tad bit like Michael Keaton? Albeit the fact he's a tad chubby... I wonder if anyone else is seeing it too
