3.0 out of 5 stars Very nice....but I expected more., January 2, 2009

By	Nophil - See all my reviews

Durability:4.0 out of 5 stars Fun:3.0 out of 5 stars Educational:1.0 out of 5 stars 

Ok - the title of my review may put some people off but allow me to explain. I really like this figure....it is my first 1/6th scale collectible and I was very excited to purchase it and have someone from the US bring it for me. Here is what I like about it:

1. It looks very cool.

2. The details are quite authentic, including the likeness to Christian Bale. My wife disagrees but I think otherwise.

3. The figure appears to be quite durable and I don't think I will be damaging it in anyway anytime soon.

4. The cape is pose-able (has wires running on the sides).

5. A certificate of authenticity is included, which I felt was a nice touch. Can be framed, its on a nice parchment type thick paper.

Here are the bad points:

1. I don't like the velvety cape! Some other nice, thick material would have suited this caped crusader better.....Batman in velvet? Is he going to the Annual Gotham Ball or something?

2. I was under the impression that this figure was made by Hot Toys. Please note that I am not discrediting the shipper in anyway since there is no place where they claim that on the product page. The real issue is that DC Direct is now shipping the Hot Toys version, but were earlier on shipping their own version (the one I got!). I am not really sure what the articulation differences are, but the HT version comes with an extra head (Bruce Wayne without the Bat mask), 3 pairs of hands (I may be wrong!) and an activated mine. I have read raving reviews of the HT figure so I am not sure what exactly I may be missing in this one (except for the items mentioned above).

3. The figure may be heavily articulated (HT or otherwise) but the Batsuit's nature prevents the possibility of any real poses. Bend an arm here, flex the knees a bit....and that's about it.

4. There is a "pneumatic wrangler" included....call me ignorant but for the life of me I cannot recall how and when Batman used it. There is no documentation included with the figure to explain what goes where. I guess we are all supposed to use our own heads for that.

5. The "grappling launcher" looks very nice, but the only pair of hands that are NOT closed fists cannot "hold" the gun....I tried many times to close the fingers around the gun shaft but the fingers are not very articulate. The only other pair of hands are closed fists.

So overall, not bad. Just some points to take home:

1. This figure NOT made by Hot Toys, so only the one head (Batman mask on) and only one pair of extra hands (closed fists) plus no mine.

2. Velvet cape - not very nice.

3. Not very articulate.

As for the shipment: I received the package without any damage and on time. 100 points for all that.

5.0 out of 5 stars Outstanding figure. Incredible detail., August 23, 2008

By	Joseph M. Vottis "Raptor" (Schenectady, New York United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Durability:3.0 out of 5 stars Fun:3.0 out of 5 stars Educational:3.0 out of 5 stars 

I have collected probably hundreds of high end 1/6 scale figures. There are lots of great companies selling these (expensive) adult collector scale figures based on many themes (military, science fiction, etc). This batman figure has to be one of the best. I rarely buy two of anything since I don't do the buy/sell gig, but I bought two just for my own collection. Of course, these are not toys at all. So play value should not be a factor. Don't buy your kid a hundred dollar figure unless he plans on starting a collection. If he's going to whack it around like one legged GI Joe, you may want to consider more durable toys that are meant for true play.

But as a fine a accurate replica, this is first rate. A very nice surprise. You won't confuse this with a toy! A great adult collectible for your desk.

2.0 out of 5 stars Pretty Bad Toy for the Price, March 24, 2009

By	E. Moreira - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Fun:2.0 out of 5 stars Educational:1.0 out of 5 stars 

If this figure was less expensive, it would have been slightly more tolerable. But with the price tag, I expected much much more. The figure can barely move, none of the accessiories fit any of his hands and worst of all it's so delicate that it broke the day I got it. I bought it and will keep it simply because it goes with my 1:6 Joker figure (which I bought first) but If I were to have bought this figure before The Joker, I probably would not have bought The Joker at all, due to my bad experiences with this figure.
