HOT TOYS - DX15 - Batman Returns KEATON BATMAN

[franpincho]

Now announce the Batwing and make this the perfect weekend HT! And officially make me a single man!

I know Jokes and bats explained how to get that lining out, but as it turns out, I'm the less skilled person in the world when it comes to mod ANYTHING, hence my dislike to expensive mods here and there. It's just jealousy.

I might have been an *** regarding those (including yours) but i didn't really mean to be a complete **** about it. Would you care to explain how to do it as if you were taking to a 4 year old?

no worries. PM me later to remind me and I will try outline it for you.

 

[The Chev]

So they even have the DX stand ready. I'm guessing this is pretty close to going up for PO.

 

[Spanbauer]

It's a DX definitely... PERS panel it's the same as DX09.

I've never been much a fan of the Returns suit - always preferring the '89 suit - but I gotta say it works EXTREMELY well in figure form. If they throw in the glider wings and a Keaton headsculpt so this figure really stands out next to the '89 DX, I'm in.

I know that whenever the Penguin takes control of my car I get pissed off--I can only imagine how Batman feels.

Keaton really did make the best faces--more than any other actor since, he managed to make the cowl work for him rather than be swallowed up by it. His work with his eyes alone was impressive.

I don't care what anyone says. To this day Keaton's performance as Batman is still the best. He alone managed to give the impression that there is a damaged, hurting person under that mask rather than a mere rich dilettante. His speech to Catwoman at the end of Returns, where he tells her that they're both damaged, "cracked, right down the middle" is the best Batman moment ever committed to film.

Damn, the more I see of this figure, the more I'm in. Somehow the armored chest works better for me than it ever did in real life.

Nicely put.

Yep - Keaton rules, anybody sane knows that.

(don't tell the Nolancompoops that, they'll implode.)

The awesomeness of this figure suddenly made me forget that HT made us wait too long. I can't wait to have one on my shelf, given a price I can afford. I might have this next to the Batmobile, moving DX09 on to another shelf.

Sigh. Of all the years I decided to skip SDCC.

This looks like Keaton from the scene where he was looking at Selina who's babbling after he saved her from the circus clown.

Is he wearing Jordan VIs?

Yes

Yeah, I've always preferred the '89 look myself. I like the rough look and bulk of it more.

But man, this streamlined look is just so sharp and cool looking. They translated the film look of the suit and made it better looking.

 

[VintijDroidGutzz]

That close up really does look like an 'on set' photo.

 

[Spanbauer]

Exactly. It's one of those cases where the figure version looks better than the film version. I'm looking at you, Classic Predator...

 

[Jokes & Bats]

Great little section of what I'm guessing was promotion for Robocop.
Keaton talks about wearing the suit.

And suddenly Gary Oldman is there!

I'm happy with the DX09. I prefer the 89 suit and I may be in the minority here but I think they captured Keaton better with the 09 (I mean it's hard to improve on perfection!).

Not to take away from the DX15 though as this looks great and hot toys have done an amazing job

They look equal in terms of quality, imo. I don't see any improvements on the likeness, which is fine since the 89 looks great. Some people might prefer the new costume, but that's has nothing to do with the quality.

 

[starduster]

Not really, in the movie it was yellow.

Nope, it was gold

I can't stop looking at the pics....

"Things Change"

 

[kanine]

This is so awesome, I so hope they will do a Pfeiffer Catwoman to go with this!
