well i've spent hour and a half reading back but i'm not readin 800 pages, so help me out...

1. can Keaton hold any decent action poses? about all i've seen is of the "put up your dukes" variety.

2. is the suit the type of rubber that in the past has leaked, cracked, or split?

3. can his head turn left to right, and if so, does his bat emblem move with it?

thanks!

Suit does restrict movement
different materila than DX02
limited head movement, emblem moves

Check out my threads, I'd posed this piece a lot, The cowl can turn slightly left and right, more than you'd think is possible but because of the spiked parts of the cowl, it doesn't look right. The emblem moves with the turning of the cowl because it's one piece. No linkage on the rubber, at least on mine, I've had mine for two months now and is still in tact as the day I opened it.

1. It's as constricted in movement as the actual Keaton costume, so very limited in poses. Can't even do a running pose. All you can do is what's already been posted here and in other forums (fora).

2. I've had mine for a few days, no leaks yet, hopefully none.

3. The bat emblem moves with the head as you turn it, it's one piece with the neck and shoulder, but even that turn is extremely limited. You only get a sense that he's turning by using the PERS to make him look in either direction besides the front.

SO basically "no". He won't be able to sit down in his $600 car.

I think HT will thrown in a Batman to "sit" in the car. Like they gave an extra Ripley for the Power Loader. I think they will have to.

This figure will sit in the car, the legs can be bent to form a 90 degree angle with the torso. Will it hold on it's own for standing display or poses, no, the rubber resists, but the tight space inside the car will hold him in position.

The problem is, left long term, it will cause stress to the suit and either tear it or at least stretch so when you stand him up, it looks a little odd.

Not so fast Jocal, you can achieve a running pose with the help of the stand and some patience. It doesn't look the best, but it is possible.

W/O the stand

I second that! remember when I posted this, still don't know how they're going to fit him in the Batmobile.

To Maulfan you listen. You've all seen the Sarah Connor elbows, haven't you?


I still don't agree this current Batman will 'fit' in the car correctly. His head doesn't look like he'll be looking forward in the right way.

 

[MaulFan]

I understand the lack of wow if he can't fit in, but realistically, who's going to hide this figure away in the car, or waste money on a second to sit inside it and never be seen.

I think the Tumbler is a bit much at 1/6, but at least the Burton Batmobile looks good with the figure nearby.

 

[Geil]

I actually don't like the look of the Batmobile with the canopy open so won't bother fitting batman in.

I don't doubt people getting multiples, only one specifically for sitting in the car, it's $200 on a figure you'll never see and probably forget is even in the car.

 

[Wor-Gar]

Sean -- you're talking to people who obsess about Joker's suspenders.

 

[Cocoboloboy]

What?! You mean nobody's buying a third Bats to cut in half to fit in his car like me?...light weights.

I'm Ready For You Big Boy

 

[highlander1]

I plan on one safely put in car so it's never ever ever messed with and probaly just use head on diff body if original doesnt fit.. I will defnitley have one if can get just for the car and for a back up ,just in case......but thats just my plan to each thier own world.....

 

[rdc2]
