BATMAN 89 or BATMAN 92?

[SilverStar17]

If I had to only get one, I'd go with the '89 mostly just because it's the original design. I like the bat logo and the cowl of the BR suit better, but I like the pattern of the muscle suit on the '89 one better. I only have the BR at the moment because the '89 one is a bit pricey.

On a shelf with the DX12 and Adam West Bats, I will say that the BR figure by far has the most shelf presence.

I'm glad I was able to get both, I agree with you on the cowl and suit for both versions.

I do not have the 1966 Batman but I have no problem believing that Batman 92 has more shelf presence than the DX12.
I have close to 20 Hot Toys figures (after selling a few), the DX12 is the only one I truly hated out of the box; derpy head and weak body.
After a lot of heavy modifications he is now one of my absolute favorites and finally has the shelf presence he deserves.

I just received the DX09.
The only word that comes to mind is GLORIOUS!
A real beauty.

I also find the cape to be highly futzable out of the box, I will not buy a custom cape for this one.
Maybe for the 92 Batman, we'll see when I get it.

Old picture i found in the personal archive simulating some movement, nothing too stressful.

Excellent pose, Vortex! Really lifelike.

As far as custom capes go they definitely have their pros and at the very least are easier to futz. I stripped the lining from my 89 Bats to allow it to drape more naturally and am happy with it but have a custom cape for the 92.

Cool pics.
I agree about the capes, I can work with the 89 cape but I ordered a custom cape for the 92 figure, it's just too much of a pain to pose properly.
