NECA: 1/4 Batman 1989 Michael Keaton figure

[vito81]

Is that EB Bats behind them? That's a good reference for them to take inspiration from.

This.

Great effort from NECA, but it's out of my range...

1/6 is my top for figures.

I only have 2 NECA 1/4th scale figures and all I really collect is 1/6th. Trust me, for a $90 pricetag you guys are not gonna want to pass this up.

Woah. I guess we were wrong about the batman license being split up between companies. Neca just stated they could do a Begins/TDK 1/4 Batman.

I would love to have a TDK 1/4 Batman from Neca since I probably wouldn't be able to afford the Hot Toys or Enterbay one.

I absolutely love that Randy says he "prefers the Keaton look".

That made my day.

I'd get the Keaton and west bats, if they finally do the Nolan ones. At least there's one more sculpt to choose and use if HT end up not fixing their current TDK 1/4 bat sculpt.

Well thats awesome Hoping for an Begins 1/4 for next year then....

As good as Neca are at times, i don't think anyone will top EB begins suit if they took a crack at it. Not to me anyway its currently my favourite figure in my collection. Surprised to see the 1/4 license is split between companies and not tied to HT/EB like we thought.

Not saying Neca will ever top enterbay... I just can't justify paying close to 400.00 for one Figure....

$80 > $400+
Im going with NECA.

and some figures are sold for a lot more...

If i never had the Enterbay BB figure then i would definitely take the NECA over that one only because of the iffy QC.On top of that it would only cost me $80 instead of $400!Now,being that i have this figure in flawless condition(THANK GOD)i can't see picking the NECA one over mine but thats a personal choice!Either way,i can't wait to get the 1/4 scale '89 Batman!from what i've seen it looks PERFECT!^_^

 

[Psycho]

Yeah Hopefully we start seeing some packaging boxart in July... Like they did with Iron Man...

I see big problems on the begins suit.

How can neca hide the joints on this suit ?
Enterbay and Hot Toys use a rubber costume.


Visible joints ae ruine the design.

On the West Batman we seaa the joints, on the Keaton they are hide.


Also the Joker, how can they hide the joints.

Real clothes are a good solution.

I took a closer look at the picture. I cant imagine NECA would be using another company's design as reference. I think that might be their own BB sculpt.

 

[DiFabio]

Here's what I think.



It's the Enterbay one and they bought that for their own amusement.



You'll notice there are other random toys on that table ranging from Hasbro to Mattel. I mean they have Mattel MOTU, Animated Ra's Al Ghul, decades old Jurassic Park toys, Ghost busters crap. Doesn't mean they're doing those too. They're probably there to play with and draw inspiration from, like a personal collection.

 

[DarklyDreaming]

I bet Neca gets a Returns figure done before Hot Toys

 

[Psycho]

Most likely I tweeted them a question about that but no answer...

Unfortunately this is probably going to be the case
