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

As someone who has helped to "build" an '89 suit replica and strove to get it to a level of accuracy seen in the film, that texture on the Hot Toys is crazy. Once you have obsessed over any of these costumes, you go a little nuts when someone gets a major detail wrong!

And the fact that there’s absolutely no reason to go to the trouble of texturing the mold to make it like that when there’s no screengrab or promo shot that makes it look remotely that rough. Major head scratcher.

The real question is, why do we think they decided to change the texture?

Was it to add visual interest by creating more texture? Was it to hide sloppy modifications they made in order to bulk up the original mold? Were there issues with the original mold since they last produced the figure?

Could’ve had a real good release.

It’s just night and day with the proto.

Even the cape is completely different.

Hope they won’t mess with Returns 2.0
