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

Mags wins for best Batman photos and posing

All your Batman shots have been incredibly impressive. Second to NONE!

Why thank you King! I'll have to try another pose some day...

Also imo, second to vodoun, MalFan and now Rorywan.

Beautiful.

Are those custom dioramas? They fit inside the detolf perfectly!

Beautiful.

Don't be silly man, the sheer creativity in your pics is fantastic, I don't have the patience a lot of time to actually even move the figure!

 

[vodoun]

Had to give it that premium look yesterday. Yellow should draw your eyes to the figure.

You can't watch a Warner Brothers movie without your Warner Brothers ball cap!

Wow! I remember that too!

 

[DiFabio]

Great idea vodoun. They should have made that symbol and sculpted it like they did with the actual logo. Like an engraving.

I'm sure the Batman Returns stand will be a variation of the logo they're using, except white.

DSLR freaks terrorizes. Wait till they get a load of me!

Can US retailers start shipping this already!?!?!?!

Sideshow is apparently backordered on Bats for a bit, and it sounds like they're not expected until March....so...uhmmm...no. CSC is expecting their Batman figures in March, and I'm guessing none of the others can get theirs before that, either.

I still say the base should have no logo at all. The DX Batman stands have a museum display quality and the small, metal name plate adds a touch of class, logos seem contrasting on them, they work on basic stands like Sideshow and HT MMS but not these.

Still not a sound from BBTS about this... When ?????

Thats why it's optional and not permanent.

That base looks great. Definitely directs the attention to where it belongs.

 

[Rorywan]

So have we all decided? Is this the best 1/6th scale figure of all time?
I think it probably is.

 

[galactiboy]

These were my first Batman figures of any kind, though based on comics, I viewed them like Adam West show figures because of the colors. I didn't have this Batman though.

I had that set of 4 as a kid... in fact I still do somewhere. Not much play value, but I seemed to have a fair amount of 3" or so figures like that from Alf, Domino's Noid, Looney Toons, etc.

So have we all decided? Is this the best 1/6th scale figure of all time?
I think it probably is.

I still think Sparrow is the better overall figure... even though Batman is supremely cooler and I'd get rid of Jack way before I'd even consider parting with Batman.

Agreed, taking nostalgia and feelings for character and movie out of it, Jack is a more impressive showing of figure making from HT, I don't think I could ever call a Batman figure better than a costumed one, they're just so simple, the capes are usually the only major challenge. Unless they ever did a TDK suit Batman built like the real costume but still in proper scale, that would be very impressive.

 

[Remy]

Yup, although I'm a huge Bats fan (have the tattoos to prove that), Having both, still think Sparrow is the best stock figure.

Sparrow's intricate detail is just still mindblowing...from the belt, guns, the steering wheel base, likeness, accessories, outfit, etc...its one of the most detailed figured I've seen.
This figure is great and very close right behind it, but Sparrow still takes the cake.

 

[Rorywan]

Hmmm... I love Sparrow and I agree the detailing is astonishing.
It doesn't look 'real' like 89 Bats though?, I guess they are too different in their own genres to compare properly.
Taking complexity out of it, I would give the prize to Batman, if we are talking costume, detail and overall package then yeah Sparrow.
It's win win for us collectors though. Hard to believe this is the same company that released the DX05 last year..

I will say this, the sculpt work on the cowl and face plates deserve a lot of praise. With Bale Bat figures, it seems like HT takes a close enough approach, but this figure shows a strong attention to detail and some amazing work on effects like making it look like the cowl is over a full head beneath. I am really blown away by how they gae the face plates that rough texture like Keaton, you can see it particularly in the Batwing sequence.

Yes agreed, and the actual paint app on the skin is some of the best I have ever seen, it actually photographs like real skin. Amazing.
