Custom Returns Batman

MattSimasArt · May 2, 2023

I missed out on the Returns Batman from years ago and he is pretty pricey now, so I decided to make my own to fill the void in my collection until Hot Toys (hopefully) re-releases the Returns figure.

Made using pieces from a kit by One12Customs, a head sculpt I found on Etsy, bodysuit from EBay, TBLeague body, and hands from the Batman Forever Robin.
Paint all by me.
It is not 100% accurate but it’s good enough for now. I’m just happy to have a Keaton in the collection, as he is my favourite Batman.

I may paint the cape to give it a leathery texture, eventually.

looks good mate

likeness to keatons not too strong

but if the head sculpt is not too expensive to experiment with you could try a hot toys keaton face plate to increase your accuracy

Eh, can’t say I agree. The likeness isn’t perfect, but it’s fine for what it is. Don’t want to futz with it much more. I see enough in it to pass. Needs a more detailed paint job, I guess, but don’t really want to sink more money into this. I’m content with how it came out. He’s got the Keaton lips, which is the most distinctive part. I may just need to make them a bit darker.

Looks more like Keaton than that awful Beast Kingdom figure does.

sure as long as you're happy with it ,that's all that really matters

its a nice enough sculpt ,looks like it could pass as a panther suit kilmer head as well at a pinch
