Unless you got the enterbay batman
Then you don't have the misfortune of looking at this thing and squinting while telling yourself it's great

It's way better than the Enterbay and it's rubber fat suit. Value, sculpt, everything. It's a better action figure through and through. Enterbay has got some nice cowl heads though.
I love Neca, have about 13 1/4 scale figures from them. But to say that this one is better then EB is just ridiculous. To each their own for the price Neca's Bats is bad ass but not better than EB

Can the enterbay look up, tilting his body and extend his arm to fire his grapple gun?
No it cannot.
Can the enterbay bend it's elbows all the way with his head tilted down with his clenched fists?
No it cannot.
Can the enterbay bend crouch or bend it's legs or arms in the hips or knees?
No it cannot.
The NECA Batman is a heavier and more durable action figure. It's a got a nice sculpt, better proportions a better cape and a lot more value for what you pay. You can get him to do everything he did in the film for $70-$99 bucks (or in this case, $44).
The Enterbay Batman has three lovely cowl headsculpts (that are superior), those cool magnetic cape clips and much nicer paint applications (apart from things like the gauntlets) and that's about it. It looks nice just standing there but even then, it's got a clunky, boxy shape, ugly boxy gauntlets that aren't glossy and a one piece suit whose articulated body is useless. It cost a whopping $450.
Griff came in here and was nice enough to share a nice deal for people interested in this figure. Creasy comes in to contradict it by implying that the Enterbay is a better deal for whatever ridiculous price it's going for now and that the NECA is garbage. It's not. For the value and what you get (and what you can do), it's a much better action figure. The Enterbay Batman might be a better museum doll though, but I doubt it lasts as long as the NECA one over time. We'll see.
Dean Knight covered this extensively. NECA is definitely a poor man's collectible in comparison to things like Hot Toys, Enterbay, etc. But in this case, that poor man's collectible kicks the high end's ass, even with it's ugly mold lines on the side of the head and toy looking finish on some parts of the belt and body.

Wow too much to read ...who said the Beca was garbage ... I said the EB is a better figure ... I don't do crazy poses so I don't mind ... Like I said I have many Neca figure but you can't compare the EB they both have Pros and Cons.
Like I said many .

You can compare the NECA and Enterbay, I just did! 
Many people have. You didn't say it was garbage, never said you did, but Creasy definitely thinks it isn't worth getting right? He thinks it's crap. Do you agree with what he said that, anyone that owns the NECA Begins has to squint while looking at it to convince themselves it's great. Of course you don't think that.
I made it clear that as far as value and being an action figure goes, the NECA Batman is superior to the Enterbay one. I'm recalling so many things about the Enterbay one when I think about it now too. Out of the box, that things belt is an absolute mess. I remember the mods people kept telling each other to do to get to look good. Jerry rigging the belt with some cheap string or ties. Filling the crotch with padding. Getting the magnets lost inside the suit when trying to get the cape to look good. Spraying the gauntlets. Not posing the elbows too often so they didn't get lose. So many things.
I mocked the hell out of NECA and this figure when they initially showed this off at SDCC or Toy Fair or whatever. You know, back when it at that ugly one piece rubber torso and the cut joint at the neck. The final product though? It turned out wonderful, it's one of their best figures like their Preds and Jim Henson Ninja Turtles.
No way, neither of them are good and NECA's is ugly. The Enterbay kills the NECA with all of it's weapons and accessories alone. The only nice thing about the 1/4 NECA Joker is that they scaled it down to 7" for fans of that scale.

I had the EB and sold it. It was pretty nice but I remember posing it and certain parts of the rubber actually turned white at the crease that was bent.
I have the Neca now and love it. Both are great but prefer the Neca

Seriously guys? Back to this again?
Both are good in their own ways. DiFabio, I completely get what you are saying and you are 100% right.
As I've always said, like what you want to like. To some, they may enjoy the NECA more and think it's better for different reasons. They are not wrong, nor are they right. It's just what they like more and that's 100% okay!
One is also $100 and the other is crazy expensive, but comparisons can still definitely be made. IMO, to see what NECA can do at this price point makes Enterbay look bad when it comes to the value and what you are getting for the money.
Creasy obviously doesn't like this NECA figure, which is fine, but saying you have to squint at it and tell yourself it's great is absurd. I mean if you truly think that, whatever, but don't state it like it's fact either.
I am a HUGE fan of NECA's 1/4 figures, especially since I don't have the budget to buy Hot Toys or Enterbay. I love what NECA is doing and I only hope they continue to improve and pump out awesome figures!

Ppl can crap on Neca all they want but Neca is my favorite toy company next to figuarts and mezco. Like you I can't afford spending 250 or more per figure. Neca actually gives a damn unlike Hot Toys unless it's marvel or and new movie. But if it's older movies forget about it. They are the only company that is giving Batman Returns love. Not stopping at just one character and calling it a day. Thier TMNT 1990 figures make Prime 1s a joke if you consider price and accuracy.
