NECA: 1/4 Batman 1989 Michael Keaton figure

[Maglor]

For my 89 I purchased his "final" cape which has a very nice texture close to the movies (89/returns).

Pics or it didn't happen.

There's holes for the bars to go into, just like Hot Toys. The way NECA did it they're almost invisible.

If you're having trouble finding the holes, line the inside of the cape up with where Batman's hands are, they should be right there.

Wow! That looks really nice, Maglor.

I'd like to see jye's cape too but I guess he's refusing to post pics. ​

Cape was much improved by steaming. I'll probably do it one more time to get the remaining wrinkles out.

Great portait shot Maglor. Other than the doll dots it looks superb.

I steamed my cape twice and unfurled it on a flat surface to flatten it out. It's pretty much perfect and I'm really impressed with how it hangs and drapes. The over the shoulder look is particular is very impressive. I was thinking about getting Tony's for a good bit, but I dunno. It would feel a little weird paying more for the cape than I did my actual figures. Besides, I bought two custom capes for my DX 09 and never used em after I tried them out. They are still in their bags, stuck together, probably permanently.

Nice shots Maglor!

Just curious, how are you guys steaming the cape? I'd like to do it but have no idea on how to go about it.

Thanks Coco. You got this figure yet?

Thanks.

Nope. I was waiting to get him during that sale but he sold out before I got there.

Just paid Tony a few days ago, will arrive in 2-3 weeks.

I love posting pics, will do once I have them.

I'm excited to have my Neca look more bad *** and to finally....FINALLY have a good cape for my 1/6 89.

Same thing happened to me.

Oh snap, Maglor's about to hook a brother up.

Excuses, excuses.

He's such a good guy.

The cape looks wonderful there Maglor.

I was all set on getting Tony's cape as well but if I can get my cape to look like that then I will be happy.

I'm hoping to get him next week.​

 

[jye4ever]

That's the daisy dukes of capes.

 

[jye4ever]

Well, my BBTS replacement arrived today.

He's standing straight. WIN.

The joint under the right gauntlet popped off due to my brute force.

I'll glue it later.

Now comes the wait for Tony's cape.

Here are a few pics of my repainted figure with the stock cape and Tony's custom cape. The stock cape is steamed and futzed and Tony's was basically just thrown on. You can see how Tony's cape just takes the figure to the next level. If you like your NECA Keaton batman, but want to love him, do yourself a favor and get Tony's cape!!! Sorry for the quality/configuration of the pics. Just took quick pics with my ipad so you guys could compare.

That cape looks awesome

 

[j97e1]

Where do you get this cape?

 

[TheObsoleteMan]

That custom cape makes it a whole new figure. With the stock cape it looks like something you'd pick up in the Wal-Mart toy aisle.
