Re: Keaton Batman

From Shawn,



The legs are articulated pretty much the standard way and nicely done, the waist has nice articulation to it and the rubber used for the chest armor has room between the center of it and the body so it goes with the waist when you bend it, and the arms have good articulation, but the rang of that is limited because of the points on the wings of the cowl, they get in the way and you also don't want to post it in a way to risk ripping the cape. I'd say overall, from the shoulders down, it's a very "action" figure, but from the shoulders up it's much more a high end collectible meant to just look fantastic, which it does. The only other thing to note, the hands/gauntlets are rubber cast and put on the handless arms of the figure body in place, you can't rotate them like other 1/6 figures, but they're in fists anyway so there's not much else you'd really want to do with them anyhow. Being a Keaton Batman, I think the articulation very nicely conveys Keaton's physical stature and performance in the film, so it's a great figure of that version.

Thanks, that answers most of my questions. I'm going to ask Shawn if the rubber will deteriorate or crack any over time.
It's a great deal, is there any time frame limit on when to order? The next couple of months are going to be rough.
Now where to find the money for one.

Based on how many are done and how many are left to do and all, I'd guess he'll be done with the 17 on the list by the end of November. I don't know if the Freaks Special will go away once demand dwindles or stops for any lengthy period. If you email him and tell him your situation, you might be able to work something out.

I sent him just that email an hour ago. Hope it works out. If not I may have to eat ramen noddles for Thanksgiving dinner. :lol

Tell you what though, if you're staring accross at Shawn's Batman while you eat, that'll be the sweetest meal you'll enjoy this year :)
 
Re: Keaton Batman

Awesome news, you won't regret the purchase, you might regret getting mixed up with the rest of us though, we're a wacky bunch ;)
 
Re: Keaton Batman

Shawn got back to me, he said there's no set time frame for the SF Board rate and that he probably won't be able to get to me until January anyways so I'm good.
He also said I'm #25 on the list!
That's a **** load of work! :eek:
 
Re: Keaton Batman

Number 25??? Apparently people are signing up but not being vocal about it around here because you and Irish are the only people I've seen confirm being on the list after 17, that leaves 6 others.
 
Re: Keaton Batman

I ordered an updated version from him right after he sent me the pics of the new sculpt so count me as one on the list.

There are more lurkers than members. I wouldn't put it past them to hit Shawn up for this fantastic discount, claiming to be a Freak. There's no other reason for them not to post their want here. I don't know if Shawn is bothered by it or not. He may be happy to have his spare time, until Christmas and into the New Year, taken up.

Gruff Old Bear is right. Shawn is a machine. He may even be Father Christmas. I am expecting a present to arrive sometime next week. :rock. Got to get in before the Christmas rush.

Piping up: I'm lucky 21!

Welcome to the Jungle, you're gonna dieeeeeeeeeeee....

No but seriously, it's worth your money and following this thread, great figure, the only way I can imagine anyone not enjoying this figures is if their love for the film/representation isn't very strong and the purchase was a bit impulsive, but if you like Keaton Batman and you thought this purchase through, you're going to be rewarded.
 
Re: Keaton Batman

I got #22. Once Batman arrives, I'll turn my attention to hunting down a Joker. I wish I got in on the v2 Joker a while back, but I didn't because I thought it would be silly to have a Joker without a Batman. In retrospect, I should've gotten the v2 Joker anyway because it's awesome. Now that I'm getting a Batman, I feel extra silly. :monkey4
