The bicep joint broke after minimal posing for one guy on youtube.
This is the exact same issue I had with Hasbro’s “HyperReal” Darth Vader. There’s absolutely no way to repair it either, since the body is encased with rubber.

Well, what a piece of junk. I'm still looking forward to it after 3 years, but it looks disappointing. Mezco should offer some kind of refund.

The lack of articulation is very disappointing too. What's the point of a 6 inch figure if it can't move. At least a HT figure is larger and far more realistic, so it looks good despite the lack of movement, but this Mezco version isn't that great looking to begin with, so what's the selling point. The prototype looked like it had good articulation, so that was false advertising on their part. Also, why is the suit so damn ashy?

Head doesn't look as bad in the video. Still a little big but better.

Whats the difference between the two capes? one with a wire and one without? I'm surprised at how many different headsculpts/capes we're getting with this.
Right out of the box …I like it
Already seen YouTubers saying articulation is impossible…NOVICES!
As a Phicen collector and having the Seamless Hasbro Vader ….no issues for me folks
I like the scale and detail

Just watched two youtubers break the arms right out of the box.
I think it looks really nice. A hell of a lot nicer than I was expecting. The faces are excellent. It essentially looks like a 6 inch Hot Toys figure.
But man....it seems as though it's inevitably going to break. The instructions pretty much guarantee it. That's also their out for when thousands of people try to get a return or a refund. "Sorry pal, you must not have read the instructions."
I'm very torn. I want this figure. I've wanted it for freaking YEARS. But knowing I can't move it really takes the wind out of my sails.

It’s a figure that you have to get used to how a seamless body figure works..It’s not as fragile as it looks ..I’d say for those who preordered …don’t cancel ..this is a miniature version of a HT IMO …but more flexible
Finally have a Keaton Bats 6’ that can look decent in this pose

The head sculpt looks good, albeit still appears just a touch oversized.
The powdery residue on the suit ... not sure what to make of that or how it will turn out long term. Ultimately I see this as a missed opportunity -- I've handled some ONE:12 figures and Mezco could have done something really interesting and groundbreaking had they built the suit like the film costume (and their prototype) -- it wouldn't be so far off from things they've already done.
It looks like one too many shortcuts to me, but to be fair, relative to the rest of their line I guess it looks ... fine. I don't have a bat in this belfry anyway, just a spectator.

Has anyone tried using a tiny paintbrush to remove the white dust? I always use a tiny paintbrush to brush off the dust from my TBLeague toys, both 1/12 and 1/6 scale.
Anyway, poor dude's Batman broke at the arm at 28:25. With my TBLeague toys, I always move them from the shoulder joints or the hips to avoid breaking anything, although with the current TBLeague bodies with actual metal skeleton frame and not super tight joints, it's not even necessary.

But can the legs go forward? I’ve heard placing him inside a Batmobile is practically impossible.Right out of the box …I like it

That does look really good, in my opinion. And the Hot Toys could certainly never achieve those poses.
What's the "trick" to moving the limbs on this type of figure?
And yes, is it true the legs don't go in a sitting position? No way to ever sit in the McF Batmobile?
(wait a minute...you're holding the non-wired cape in place, right? isn't that cheating?)

Live and learn…if you snap the cape groove onto the neck collar it makes everything more flush..not the best but better IMO
Who said you can’t get him into a Batmobile position..better than HT
How low can you go
Kicks much higher than I thought

Not bad actually. Your photos make it look good. I guess it just needs a better designed cape.
