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

[xXJ0kerXx1]

thank you matrix69 for the tips on how to cut open the suit to remove the body. finally took some time to do the body swap and it turns out the mando body works just fine! I will say, one thing that i probably forgot to do was pad out the stomach area since the body is a little skinny, but it isn't noticeable. Also forgot to pad out his crotch area. Sitting on a shelf, I probably won't be bothered with it.

I realized what hot toys did that messed up the articulation so bad and it isn't because of the body not being ratcheted (though that would've been nice). The body itself is sturdier than I expected. Articulation is limited due to how hot toys used the fat suit. His fat suit is too thick on his arms for the elbow to be able to bend properly so its essentially a single jointed figure but that isn't enough support to bend/move the rubber suit.

Just gotta get a Jaxon cape and i'll be pretty dang content! Hot toy's capes are always crap.

@xXJ0kerXx1 I have two custom capes from Bill Chaki on FB and they’re awesome. He has some ready to go for $45 if you wanted to go that route.

Well worth the $45. Such a great value. I bought one for my 89 and Returns Bats and they’re awesome.

my mind can rest at ease knowing he can lift and raise his hands up. The cape is really great, especially for the price. drapes really nice.

Gimme that Joker announcement to match and SDCC is a success already.

Edit: Did HT see the IA polls and think "We've already got one we can re-issue!"

Straight reissue? Same but new larger size? Reworked and also new larger size? A deeper dive into the Burton movies with more Jokers or finally Catwoman and Penguin???

Sideshow is also advertising a 1989 Batcave diorama. If HT actually ever puts Su j a thing up for preorder... Damn. Take my money.

Exciting stuff, hoping this isn't a one and done the way HT treat DC and more of them thinking they need people to have an available batman before they do more of the older villians. At least Catwoman

This is Hot Toys. This is 99% a reissue with a "new paint job" and with less accessories. Couple that with a new base or diorama and call it a day.

Who wants Catwoman and Penguin anyways when you can reissue the same figure for more $$$.

Jesus. Just when I thought I was out. They pull me back in

Probably a reissue on a slightly taller body and improved paint apps but having never had the original I'll take it.

A Pfeiffer Catwoman figure will likely remain a dream sadly.

Also this, labelled as 89

 

[Nine Inch Nails]

that diorama won’t happen. Remember that diorama from mando?

 

[Garlador]

I’ve been waiting for this…

I would love to see 89 reissue and 89 computer set. I’m reserving my excitement for a po announcement. Can’t wait to see pics though.
