Hot Toys DX09 - BATMAN - Batman (Michael Keaton) - Specs & Pics

[Uncanny Web-Slinger]

I have a sneaking suspicion that the ears aren't going to be a problem getting him into the car because he won't be able to bend at the waste to sit in the car in the first place

Huh! Very true, at least from articulation impressions

Keaton's Batman inspired the animated series, and the creation of some of the most iconic music of the franchise. I don't think that anyone can truly call themselves a Batman fan without owning this figure.

bats head looks rather stiff. i didnt c one pic w/ his head turned 2 the side. he's always looking straight ahead. although his eyes can look in diff directions.

Have u seen the movie?

 

[Dead-Man]

what if his legs can't pose like the dx02 can he still be put into the batmobile without force?

I wonder if the final boots will be able to bend at the ankle.


Also, do these have the Nike symbol on them? (I hope not.)

Your wallet may cry, but think of it as an investment. If a time came where you had to sell your collection, these will do nothing but appreciate in value over time.

Personally, I feel that's a dangerous way to look at it. You won't be able to get much for the figure in five years when the PERS has broken, the rubber suit has rotted away and Hot Toys has just released their third and vastly-superior version of the Keaton Bats. I would not buy a Hot Toys figure under the assumption that you'll be able to profit from it in the future.

Anyone heard from onesixthbruce about these? Wondering what pricing they will be and whether it's worth going with them rather than a US retailer and worrying about customs and all that

Waiman said pre-orders will be up soon. As for price he hasn't said anything but from what he's said before that will come when he is contacted by hot toys.

I thought they fixed the PERS system? The rubber suit will rotted away?

 

[Megacolor]

Now that we all done about price being jacked up...LETS PARTY!!!

The durability of PERS?

I thought they fixed the PERS system?

I've actually been meaning to ask about that. The only DX I have is DX01 Joker, and the PERS freakin' broke. Can anyone confirm whether this has or has not been an issue on the more recent DX figures? Thanks!

Even if the PERS does not break or the rubber does not rot. We should not think of HT as an investment. Sure some of their first Movie Masterpiece figures have increased in after market value (AVP preds). But, many others have decreased due to higher production quantities and/or improved reissues.

Thanks for that - I may yet cancel my order with AE if OSB has a competitive price on these guys
