It's sold out everywhere already? I'm glad I got mine when I did now; was sleeping on it too but then had some extra money on hand at the time so thought what the heck!

Sorry to here you missed it, but good news is that the Burton line has been really successful for NECA, specifically Batman and Catwoman. Considering we saw a re-release of Batman recently, I would say the chances of Catwoman getting the same treatment is likely though you may be waiting a couple years.

A little cape mod I did to make it wired.

Got bored this week and decided to darken up the Batfleck suit.

So who is still making custom capes for the 89 amd where can I get a 1/4 scale umbrella for the penguin?

 

[ShadowGuardian]

Made a little modification to my Batman Begins Batman that I should have made a long time ago. Heated the batarang holding hand up and split the thumb and index finger apart with a sharp knife. Now he can actually hold the Joker card and the batarang.

So to keep that thread alive. What's your top 1/4 Neca DC figure?

I can't decide, there are are so many great figures in the line.

For me might be Mayoral Penguin!

While they're not MY favorite, I do think that both releases of DeVito Penguins from batman Returns are the best 1/4 DC figures from NECA in terms of over-all look. The sculpt and build are fantastic as are the real fabric tailoring. It looks like a high-end Premium Format statue worth 4-5x its price tag.

As for my personal favorites, it would have to be Arkham Origins and Arkham Knight Batman. I'm not even a fan of the latter's design in the game but NECA did an amazing job on their video game Batmen. I've had both figures displayed next to my 1/4 scale figures from Hot Toys, Enterbay, and Sideshow and they don't look like $100 figures at all IMO even in close proximity to the high-end ones.

Now if NECA decides to make the Arkham Origins Deathstroke I'd be back here to tell you a new favorite

 

[driz14]

Out of the box favorite would be Arkham Knight Batman. Catwoman is right up there. With a little amount of mods it’s definitely Batfleck.

NECA has done a lot of excellent DC figures. While not my personal favourite, both the Penguins (especially Mayor) are objectively the best I think.

As mentioned the Arkham Knight Batman is also incredible; Catwoman is pretty solid too. I think their Arkham City Harley Quinn deserves way more love as whether you like the design or not it's a stunning figure and just as good as the AK Batman.

The Batman Begins Batman ALSO looks really great but it's flaws come out more so in the articulation build, though it's still awesome.

 

[SilentKnight]

I have to agree on that Harley should get some more love. When I first get it I loved her more in person compared to the photos I've seen. It's a great figure! Catwoman may be of their finest works. Arkham Origins and Arkham Knight Batman are superior though I found the Arkham Knight Batman neck realy short for some reason. Overall both are great figures.
Personally I like the articulation on Batman Begins figure but I realy don't like the chest piece, it cuts the suits realy bad, and I have the same problem with 1966 Batman also.

 

[ShadowGuardian]

At least the Batman Begins suit is a more tactical look so they can hide it a bit better, while you can't really do that with the 60s version unless they made the torso rubbery like Batfleck.

 

[SilentKnight]

Exactly, perfect photos! . The 7 inch Batman 1966 looks better to me. I can't understand why they didn't done the same to their 1/4 too.

... Arkham Origins and Arkham Knight Batman are superior though I found the Arkham Knight Batman neck realy short for some reason. Overall both are great figures.

Yeah. I think it's an issue that's okay and can be left alone, but BETTER and makes the figure even more amazing if modified. I'm sure others have come up with better mod techniques, but I'm quite happy with mine despite my method sacrificing the articulation point between the torso and lower neck as I had the post and the extension I made for it permanently glued to the torso. Good thing I'm a museum poser and that the suit's collar covers up all the resin glue.

Another thing -- these video game Batmen already look good without them, but if you could add some silver paint using the dry brush method on the armor, it makes the figures look terrific. Makes the tiny details on the sculpt pop. Sharing my AO and AK Batman, with both figures drybrushed with silver acrylic. AK had neck mod as mentioned along with gold repaint on the belt. This is an old pic and AO now wears a better cape using leather-like fabric I bought from a shop.

Great mod advises HeubertMichael, thank you! Realy the silver details made the details pop up! Both are amazing figures. Good you changed the AO cape. I don't like the see through original material they used, remind me the cheap ones Jakks Pacific does.

Something random realy makes me wonder how nobody mention. The cowl, on Affleck Bats, it's inaccurate. The screen used cowl have a detail making it look unique compared to comic or previous movie versions. Yet that detail is missing from the neca Bats.

Finally, do you think we will ever get Superman Returns superman? I know not many like the movie, I wouldt buy it either, but I believe Neca could make a realy nice 1/4 figure.*


Also I can imagine them making Arrow or even more the Flash from DC TV. A Flash with Barry alternate head, and why not emblem too (from diferent seasons) could be nice.

 

[ShadowGuardian]

I'm digging this pose I got for Catwoman.

 

[ShadowGuardian]

Was reorganizing the entire collection so I reposed a bunch of my figures. Especially happy with Batflecks.

Also put in some new shelves today (the ones on the ground) so the collection can continue to grow!

 

[SilentKnight]

Looking perfect! All figures, specially DCs are posed so nice and natural! I Love the Catwoman as well Batffleck but Bale Batman is nice posed as well.
