My initial reaction -

Many more pics and a mini review to come.

Available stateside anywhere? East coast?

I think Coco passed out.

Why does the hat look so good there. IS THIS A TRICK COCO?

One thing I've noticed in the photos, if you see the hat from the underside of the brim, it looks good, from above, bad. The brim could be bigger, yes, but, as it is, it looks better when the top part looks smaller, and that takes a low angle view.

I remember DX 01 Cop Joker's police hat looked awful in photos. Pretty much every shot of the honor guard Joker looked ridiculous with the hat.

However, once you got it in hand it looked perfect.

I wonder if that will be the same case here?

Dont know if its been asked already, but are his arms able to pose pulling the long gun out of his pants?

Yeah. A few people have posed it that way already. I'll search for the pics.

I never thought that hat look bad, just the way people put it on the figure, some didn't really take time to put it on well.

I think in hand, this hat will look better in the sense that, you'll have the figure, you'll have the joys of it in hand, you'll be seeing it from distances. Right now, we're just dissecting it from photos with no emotional connection to the piece. Will it actually be better in person, no, I think it's got flaws and will always look flawed if you examine it enough.

Nice, thats what I hope I can do with it. I went crazy in the theater when he pulled that gun out. That was so freakin funny.

I wish I could have seen this movie on the big screen.

You will.

Man, the year 89 I was bat crazy. Movie came out exactly one month before my 12th bday. Seen it every day the first week, and once a week after that,until it was gone . Even seen it at our drive-in a few times. So much fun.

Then getting the VHS for a present. Just that black box and yellow symbol was awesome. The first DVD release had that nice cover, but the blu not a fan of, but I do like the Blu book.

My mom got me to the theatre late for this movie and T2. By the time I got there he was saying "I'm Batman" on the rooftop. Get it together, mom!

Coco receiving Joker....

Maulfan seeing Batman '89 on the big screen...

 

[jye4ever]

I hated it when he pulled out the gun.

Love it now.

I'm sorry guys. I will be, in between passing out, littering this thread with pics for a while.

Please ask any questions you have about it. There are plenty of positives and a few nits too.

I was just getting out of my 1st year of college. I tracked the movies production every step of the way, and was wearing the bat caps and shirts well before anyone else. We had crappy tv reception in the dorms, so I had my mom and dad tape every little batman segment on various entertainment and news shows.

And it was an awesome summer well beyond the Batman (which even then I didn't think was the best blockbuster). Lethal Weapon 2, Last Crusade, the Abyss, Dead Poet's Society, and with Back to the Future II coming out in the fall. Of course, we also had Star Trek V and Ghostbusters II and Pink Cadillac....
