This is.. honestly disappointing, with all the delays I thought the paint job would match the proto.

I have the Mafex's Armored TDKR Batman pre-ordered at HLJ and I got this email from them late last night-

"Medicom Toy has informed us of changes to the following pe-release products:

(MEDMAFEX-142)MAFEX The Joker (Batman: Hush Ver.):
This product was originally pictured including a gun and flag weapon. This will not be included. The knife accessory is still included.

(MEDMAFEX-146)MAFEX Armored Batman (The Dark Knight Returns):
This product was originally pictured including a gun. This will not be included. The remaining accessories are still included.

We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause. If you have any questions or concerns, please contact us at HLJ Customer Support. Thank you for your understanding and have a nice day."

Very interesting! I wonder if DC is cracking down on their figures being released with guns? Or is this a Mafex thing?

It's DC, which makes NO sense. The above is a mass market figure that is LOADED with guns. Meanwhile these expensive adult collector figures are hamstrung. Mezco said very literally that DC asked them not to show their Constantine figure with cigarettes or a gun but he is coming with them. It's DC doing dumb DC things. The Joker's gun is a FLAG gun!!! A literal GAG! It's annoying more for Joker since he comes with just a knife now and that's it.

Welcome to 2021 where everything is offensive and scary. :slap
 
So who's the snowflake that infiltrated DC to have those accessories removed?
 
Can't wait for this guy to show up in my HLJ Private Warehouse!

EDIT: He did last night!
 
This guy (The Critical Drinker) does pretty entertaining movie reviews. Here is one on the current state of the comics industry of which all these figures are based. Even makes reference to Wolverine having his cigar edited. 7 minutes...

The Revoltech Wolverine figure was originally listed as coming with a cigar but Marvel made them remove it kind of similar to this. I hope that they're just putting this out there for the preorder but will actually include it like Mezco is doing. My buddy told me that Prime1 is doing a Batman statue similar to the McFarlane figure I posted before and that they blurred the guns as directed by Warner but they're going to actually include them in the package.
