I'm loving all these pictures you're doing with the side profile shot and a quote. You should share a gallery with all of them together!

You might want to look at the spellchecker first before you do. The Keaton Batman one has a misspelling.

And a distracting extra space or two before the comma. Sorry, English teacher here. My job to be a pedantic ****.

Yeah I fixed it...

Thanks!

Does anyone own the original Batman and the release and can confirm any differences? My original Batman has his head slightly misaligned within the cowl, which is a bit annoying and gives the optical illusion of him looking a bit cross-eyed.

First version

- pinker lips
- dark blue eyes
- slightly gloss, "wet" finish on cowl


Second batch (recent)


- twist tie wrapped in plastic over the chest in box
- lightly painted lips
- light blue eyes
- matte finish on cowl

Adding to this.


First version

- foot/boot joints that function as a swivel joint
- rigid waist and ab joints (shoddy construction)


Second batch (recent)

- ball jointed foot/boot joint with rocker and pivot capabilities
- smooth movement in the waist and abs
- batch # 966N071916





Also made some mods to mine.

- gave him thicker, broader shoulders and traps
- thickened the rib and stomach area
- shortened the thighs and legs, making them less spindly
- sanded the ball joints so they move smoother win all the range of motion that was intended

Gonna repaint the head after I prime it and make the head fit in the cowl like the 7" version by shortening the head.

Is the cowl removable? Is Keaton's head completely painted under that cowl?

Yes it is. You just dip him in hot water.

Best thing about it.

If anyone is looking for stock batman capes with rods let me know because I use custom capes.

that looks awesome mate
massive improvement ,a year ago in desperation of missing out i bought one with a broken leg off ebay .the guy had tried to repair it and totally frozen the hip joint with super glue
im now wondering if your limb shortening procedure would help fix the issues that my ham fisted repair causes ,

in short ,id love to see how you did it lol
again really great work and improvement

[DiFabio]

Did you straighten him out?

 

[jye4ever]

Yeah, by squeezing the hell out of him lol.

I decided against it because up on ebay he will go today sans custom cape awf cawrse!

But doesn't he look fine.

 

[DiFabio]

Yeah, he looks great. Nice lighting.

You selling that one and getting the V2?

 

[jye4ever]

Yup, that is my game plan fo sure.

Watch he sell out lol
