Get him away from all the Premium Format Figures A-SAP, he looks like Bat-Mite!

Geez, I haven't checked into this forum for a couple days and it's exploded... Can't wait to receive this figure in the next couple of days. Selling HT Batman soon! Watch the commerce forum!

That sounds rather funny, considering Hot Toys is now considered the new level that all 1/6 figure companies are measured by.

Go Takara Batman go... oh yeah.

That's because HT Batman came pretty much at the peak of their lesser figures. HT has set a bar, but their best stuff has only come over the last year, 2 years. If you compare their early Rambos to the current ones, you can see leaps and bounds of improvement in the sculpts, and I think the sculpt is the primary point where people aren't fans of the HT Bats, and from pictures I've seen, I'd aggree. Even though I have this figure coming, I am curious to see what HT does with Batman this time around, if they even go for the license, because a Bale head and Batman head with their skin texturing and all would be quite something.

I agree wholeheartedly. One only has to look a few years back at their George Lucas figure. One word comes to mind... nasty!

The Takara Batman would have to be the first for me in not going with the Hot Toys version. Although I have the lowsy Medicom version I WILL get the Takara as soon as I can.

Its just odd for someone like me that has almost everything HT in my collection to pick the Takara. Its because its stunning!

The only reason I bought this is because of the sculpt. The HT Bats was good, but unfortunately, I just couldn't see Bale in the sculpt for the life of me.

Nice review P!tu.My 7 year old finds you halarious BTW.He especially gets a kick out of,when you say Cracka-lackin and the word that he's only allowed to repeat as biscuit-eaters.

This Batman looks like BB idealized, which is good, the figure seems more slender and not bulky like some of the film images made it look.

Almost 700 posts about a reissue of a figure... Man, clearly we are an obsessed bunch. hehe

Yep. If I had to complain about anything it would be that it needed a bit more bulk to make him look more true to the film.

Truth hurts doesn't it Mr. King Obsesso?! hehe

 

[MaulFan]

In a way, I'm glad it's not true to film as far as the bulk. The figure is the better looking representation to me. Most of the time, I wish a figure looked more like the movie, but in this case, I wish the movie looked more like the figure.
