Hot Toys - Batman 1989 - Michael Keaton

[JEDSTER]

Beyond amazing honestly !!!!
And I think this figure might be better than DX02
Now on to that looooooong wait for the release day

Figure looks absolutely fantastic. Really, really well done. However, I have my doubts about this:

Newly developed Batman body with 30 points of articulation

Really? The figure looks like a brick from the knees to the ears, with the only real articulation being in the arms. Doesn't look like he can bend or turn his neck, torso, or legs at all. Which would be sadly ironic since they're releasing the Batmobile that he most likely won't be able to sit in?

This figure is the most impressive 1/6 piece I have ever seen. Period. Absolutely perfect...

So happy

Thank you Hot Toys

With this, Nicholson Joker and Reeve Superman some of my all-time most wanted figures are now finally realized

 

[mao86]

to give you time to save up?

As excited as I am about this I'm glad it's not do til March of next year. Need some breathing room for my wallet. Keaton, Nicholson and the Bat Mobile all next year...EPIC!!!!!

But he can still do...'The Bat turn!'

No rubber body?

That would explain the innacurate leg armour.

Someone always has to _____. I guess you would prefer this:

So it's accurate to the film then? Good.

When you've been around the 89 suit for as long as I have and own pieces from the original suit you tend to notice these things.

It's a beautiful figure no question and I can't wait to own it, but (and I don't want to bring anyone down) the body armour, chest and legs are not accurate, likewise the cowl to a lesser extent. Simple as that. I could pick it a part, but what would be the point. Hot Toys aren't going to change it and since everything else is spot on, why would they.

Learn to live with it - no figure is perfect and the flaws will always be pointed out

Keaton's costume in the movie didn't have 30 points of articulation! I want the same 4 points of articulation Keation had. HT's needs to change this as this is not accurate!!!

 

[TOTAL.CONTROL]

Oh sweet revenge! My house mate & I got into one of the most heated arguments ever. & it had to do with "my" toy collecting, even tho he is just as big a junkie as I am. He think that because he earns $80k+ per year & is a home owner & blah blah blah....he should be the only one of us to own such exquisite jewls. Truth be told he is just pissy over the fact I (a mear $10hr security) ownes EVERY LAST HT DC toy on the market! My house mate trashed talked this very forum saying it is a big waste of time & only loosers would post here.

BUT NOW....I will have the last laugh. I will keep this yummy new info all to myself. I will not tell him A GOD DAMN THING! After all its just a big waste of time right. MWHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH

 

[hhhaney1234]

imagine if Hot Toys read this and was like a mom when you said you didnt like somethign on your dinner plate and they just took it away and said well then don't eat! Then no one would say anything

 

[a-dev]

Hot damn! He can even do the pose with the cape splayed into the bat wings formation!??! ___k now I think I need to buy 2 of this guy.

Epic figure. ___k!

So when are we going to start an official specs thread? Wookster? Buttmunch? Hello?

 

[theghostinside]

So is the body like a newer muscle body with joints exposed, kinda like a predator body or is it a suit over a body? Im kinda confused on this.

 

[hhhaney1234]

wish i had the dough you guys to to be able to even fathem the idea of getting 2 of these or 2 of the joker! I miss have settle with having only 1 each (unless i convice family to buy me for my birthday that's in march ) but theyll say why do you need 2 of 300 dollar Action figure! Only my father will understand. But my girlfriend already offer to get me one of these guys for my birthday so maybe 2 jokers isnt so far out of my reach muhahahahaah

or do i get the batmobile instead of 2 of the same figures hmmmm.

And you missed the point all together.

I wish all the people who point out flaws would be transported back to the 70's, get stuck there, and be forced to collect Mego Superheroes.

Exactly.

 

[PJW]

I guess we both missed each others points then, since I wasn't _____ing in the first place.
