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

This looks great.

If another company does a "better one", I'll replace it. But if no one does, this is perfect.

Looks more Keaton than dx09 to me.

That's a particularly flattering photo. The suit texture is definitely overdone but less glaring when lighting doesn't over-emphasis it.

Are there any pics of the back of the cowl where the DX9 had that huge ass cover for the eyes? It was really badly done.

Still keeping my order, but my dx09 looks better than this. Something is off, and I think it’s the mouth plates. Symbol seems smaller.

I think they fixed that since the 1st Returns figure.

The deluxe on TBA was 2600 HKD earlier. He bumped it up to 2900. This is why I don't like resellers. Prices can drastically change within the hour.

Plus it's like $175 in shipping. Better off finding this one locally if possible.

Yea, I’m always against timecent and other sellers who do this. But people continue to be impatient or needing it for their channels and support **** like this.

Or the price drops after you place your order is something that can also happen. Timing-wise one has no idea when its going to be its cheapest.

I remember seeing the listing for deluxe Mando. And within minutes, just as I was going to order...

Boom!

It shot up $80 more.

I messaged him and he was like,

"The market changed"

Anyway, my plate is full at the moment, and this figure wasn't high priority on my list. I wanted to wait and see the price before I made a decision.

Can’t wait for Regan’s review from MC Adventures ..chances are he probably went to pick him up today

Imagine being this stupid to pay for something only to be "first".

Those people deserve to be bankrupt.

This new sculpt without question is more accurate to the movie than the DX09. I'd like to see some more softly lit shots of the suit though. Harsh light definitely brings out the texture. These images are also huge in comparison to the scale of the figure in hand so its adding magnification to the texture that will be much less prominent in hand

 

[Evil_Deadite]

I should have sold my Returns Batman last weekend... I would've had the funds sitting in my PP now.
And now I'm doubting whether to pull the trigger, while the price is increasing.

Waiting to see if they release the returns figure with the torn lower half of the cowl, with Keaton head. Won't list Returns my two-pack until I know for certain.

The suit texture does look overdone but I have a feeling it won't be a big issue on the shelf. These super high res macro shots always exaggerate things.

 

[Rotfish]

I wanted to see a side-by-side with the new release and some old photos of my DX09. Obviously the lighting/camerawork is much better in the blogger photos, but what do we think?

I didn't have a problem with the DX09 when I had it, but after your comparison, I can't stop fixating on how poorly fitted the mouth plates are.

I prefer the cowl texture on the new one, but the body texture of the old. The clincher is the new one's realism and less-exaggerated lips.

Hmn, never opened my BR one and sold it so don't remember.

 

[Rotfish]

Speaking of the cowl texture, I love how the surface of the new one actually looks uneven. Check out the clavicle area or the side of the head. Even without the rough texture on top, the planes of the head and neck aren't perfectly flat or streamlined. It's got a slightly lumpy, handmade look to it. And the texture is not uniform in fineness and intensity all across the cowl, it varies depending on the area.

I have both 89 and returns I’ll upload a pic of the back of the heads to do the seam comparison later.

This pic is all you need. The new masked sculpt is practically perfect, almost too perfect. Look at the right eye on the left pic covered in shadow, amazing.
