Hot Toys MMS 692 + 693 BATMAN (1989) 1/6 scale Batman 2.0

[Gipetto0812]

Have HT ever sold a standalone diorama (i.e. one not packaged with a figure)?

They'll probably bundle it with a way better 89 Keaton to make chumps of all of us buying this one.

I believe the Lizard diorama for NWH/ASM is being sold separately

Do you guys think theres a chance hot toys resculpts this thing? Or are the majority happy with the way it came out?

Hard to say. On the one hand I'd say no chance since there was nothing I'd call an uproar over this sculpt which might lead to such a response. On the other hand the most recent Tom Holland Spiderman sculpt received unanimous praise when first shown but they updated it anyway.

If I see a low stock warning on sideshow, I will pre-order. If not, I’ll wait for reviews to tell me if the body and poseability is a significant upgrade.

All these HT re-releases lmfao at everyone selling their originals for outrageous prices

I am actually quite impressed with the headsculpt tbh. Some promo pics look like movie stills for me.

So, if they want to improve it. Sure. But for me, they don't have to.

For those who have the first release of this figure, how is it holding up all these years later ? I was afraid to buy it because of all the rubber material. I don't really mind if it limits the articulations, but I don't want a decaying figure. Have there been cases where this figure deteriorate like some leather jackets of other figures ?
Thanks

Had it for a decade, no deterioration of the suit. Can’t hold the same poses he could when he was new, though.

I got mine last year (but previous owner had kt for years) and hes holding up fine. Haven't touched the PERS since they're fragile but other than that still looks great. Can't hold a pose though and his elbow is broken but that's not from deterioration

 

[mattjack]

Thank you all for your answers.

Sorry but what do you mean by PERS ? (sorry I'm french, I don't know what it's refering to)

 

[vito81]

PERS is the system to move the eyes in parallel.

PERS stands for Parallel Eyeball Rolling System. It's name and acronym for the old system HT previously used for moveable eyes. They've done away with that particular system now and instead have each eye being able to move independently of one another.

 

[mattjack]

Ok thanks. Yeah I heard it's fragile.

Salut Matt, moi aussi en France,
Bought mine in 2013 and another in 2015 and both are in mint condition as day 1.
I think it really depends where you’re located.
A humid climate doesn’t help to preserve figures.

Tiens salut compatriote !
Yeah I heard about the climate. But how humide is too humid ? I never know. So I'm always afraid of rubber/leather material. I try to avoid it if I can. But I don't want to miss some amazing figures either.

Mine is still in great condition ( kept inside case and museum pose however)…
The only impact I’ve had is those sharp guards break on the forearm ( seems to be an issue with the Batman returns figure too)

Yes I saw a DX09 on Ebay where the seller explain in the description that one of the sharp spike is missing.

And I don't understand why they did 2 Batman Keaton and no Catwoman...
I have a Tweeterhead Pfeiffer Catwoman statue (she looks small on the photo because her base is huge and she is far behind Joker, but it is a 1/6 statue) & a Hot Toys Joker. Now I need a Batman...
Hopefully I will get the re-release.

I saw that Eternal toys is doing a Penguin 1/6 figure.
I don't know this company so I don't know if it's a good thing. But...better than nothing.
