Unmasked Batman (possibley a variant or chase)
Batman:
You know, looking at those pics, I think it might not be a chase/variant figure after all. I think its gonna be one of those "Bruce Wayne To Batman" figures.
As far as I know, there has always been one from all the different lines from the Keaton movie toy line, right up to the latest animated "The Batman".
If you look at the neck of the Batman in the pic above, looks like its a ball-jointed neck - possibly a head-swap instead of the old oversized mask/cowl over the Bruce head. At least this gives it more articulation.
Speaking of articulation, think they've added some new cuts to the figures as well, mid bicep as well as mid thigh cuts/joints.
The thing I don't like about this is the plastic/rubber cape! I'd prefer a cloth cape.....
And look at Bruce - he's missing a shoulder pad/armor on his left shoulder! Removable parts?
The only 6-inch figure I got from Begins was the "Collector's Edition". If they come up with something like that, I'll be getting one.
I'll be waiting to see what HOT TOYS/TAKARA will be coming up with!
