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

[MarkKing]

I get some of the hate but I still enjoy the figure.

What does enjoyment mean? Wondering...

For me, it's seeing the actor likeness in my figure posed in a shelf.

Having characters together than make sense.

Keaton was my 2nd fav Bats as an actor, but has my favorite suit.

I love Adam West as Bruce Wayne because he did it so long and you see Bruce as the everyday man who happens to be rich with his platonic chum Dick Grayson...who he adopted as a teen and gave him tights and green undies to wear

What's weird is that I moved the eyes to look off center and I could suddenly see keaton haha. I think the biggest thing that stands out as off is how bulky the body is. His chest look like a bodybuilder

I do see the Keaton likeness though. The mouth plates were definitely better on the DX09 but when I look over the shelf I still see plenty of Keaton in that cowl. I'm not seeing the texture from six feet away so it doesn't bother me a great deal.

Obviously it should have been better and I hope a better version comes along in the future. I'm still happy with this figure for however many years that takes.

I'm tempted to cut the belt and just use something to hold it together in the back. It sits too high and is too tight to move down

Took some gentle handling, but I got mine lowered enough to my liking.

That's good to know. I'll give it another go and see what happens

Yeah I got mine moved down pretty easily, it’s pretty sturdy.
This figs getting a lot of criticism, mostly not backed up by photos.
Knowing this is a small batch release I think there’s a lot of chat from people that never even got it.

There are some justifiable criticisms. I did a pretty extensive review. And I fully understand expecting the best and most movie-accurate likenesses at the high-end cost of these things.

... Yet I glance at mine on my shelf and it just makes me smile. It hits for me where it needs to.

Has anyone tried taking the wires out of the cape?

Some pages back, someone did. Said it helps with the drape. YMMV.

I took all but the two front ones out. Not really necessary though.

Did you rip the seam at the bottom or the top of the cape?

 

[vspectra]

I see a really good Keaton every time I look at mine. It literally doesn't look anything like those first in-hand facebook photos with the phone camera warping

 

[Cocoboloboy]

Beautiful photography, @vspectra. Perfect lighting. I have to know what you’re shooting with.

Thanks! I'm using an iphone 12 and adjusted its camera exposure settings ranging from -0.3 to -1.0. Display case is apextime chaos ultra where you can adjust which lights get lit up and dimness to your liking.

Also the new Tony Mei drape cape arrived. Tony and his wife did a really great job on this one.

Know some had asked about the new head and connector on the DX09 body and saw these shots on Ebay.

I think it really comes out with angles. When shot front-on, it isn't quite as strong. I really like it overall, though

 

[Chopper Face]

Luckily, my 89 Batman display is a top-shelfer so I’ll have that ideal angle built into my viewing experience.

Just gotta wait another 40 or so days for that slow boat to make its way to me.

Dang, I thought you already had this guy weeks ago. Huh.

Damn! I figured you took these with a camera! Looks great.

I missed out on TonyMeis cape . Debated too long. Hopefully he gets more fabric, his looks wonderful!
