If they had done an ‘89 armory with Keaton in his tux, I might have pulled the trigger, but I’ve already got the TDKR armory on PO, and if I wanted TDK, I’d just get HT’s for a fraction of the price.
JazzInc will most likely make one and at a fraction of the JND’s cost.
The ‘89 armory/suit vault is something I heavily covet, but if JND unveiled one for $1,800, I’d have to pass.
See, I think the silicone tech would be neat on a Batman cowl. If they implemented it on a 1989 Keaton, or Returns Keaton, or Begins Bale or Affleck BvS, that would be kinda cool. Have the head tilt, side to side, etc. Doing it on these plain clothes characters like Joker and Bruce is pointless though. They talk about how dynamic, action oriented statues inspired them and yet, you got two dudes in boring three piece suits. Oh yeah, the scene where Bruce quits and is ready to go to a press conference and tell the world he’s Batman! Let’s make an ACTION figure of that!
And before someone chimes in about Joker, nobody displays their Joker dynamically. It’s always head tilted down, eyes looking up, museum pose. The dude in the video mentions how “action figures only have a hand up and a head turn”, yet that’s exactly what they show Joker do in their solicitation pics. How about Batman clobbering Joker in the face, sending his head flying? Oh yeah, their Batman is a statue, How about Joker hung upside down from Batman’s grapple, cackling with glee? Oh yeah, Batman is a statue. How about the Joker on one knee, firing his rocket launcher? Oh yeah, he doesn’t come with one, just the same old knife, playing cards and grenade rig to hold at his side.
JND is off their rocker, and I think they know it.
