Re: Hot Toys – MMS 293 & 294 Batman Returns: Batman and Bruce Wayne (Keaton) Set
I honestly don't get the disappointment in the Batman figure, I think he looks outstanding in most shots.
The Wayne sculpt is a let down, I agree, but luckily I was never interested in him anyway. Is the disappointment in him flowing over to the Batman figure?
honestly, it's the bright blue eyes that are standing out for me, it could very well just be the lighting and likely not as noticeable on display, but why he has such piercing blue eyes, I do not know...
That's also what's making everything else look more like Kilmer than Keaton to me
I can get over the soft vinyl suit as I likely just wouldn't pose him in any way that makes the suit look off, was expecting a better cape but I can deal with that too
Going to have to see more bloggers pics to form a solid opinion on it, but from what I've seen here, it IS pretty disappointing. It does look like Hot Toys did not give this figure the attention it deserves, despite having so much time to do so.
And think of it this way, if this figure flops because they dropped the ball, they're going to assume the rest of the BR line isn't worth pursuing, when in reality they should have LEAD this line with the VILLAINS. and rounded it off with Batman.
Penguin or Catwoman should have definitely come first (with hopefully more attention and care given to them)
