Hot Toys Batman Returns Bruce Wayne

There is somethings slightly off about the Keaton head. I can't quite place it. His skin looks to porous, for one. He kind of looks freckly in the headshot above, but that may be the lighting.
It looks like Keaton...but it's not 100% nailed like a lot of Hot Toys. The Batman components are dead on.

Aw men! Why they had to do this?!Comment

Wish I could just get the Batman, because that Keaton is off the charts exaggerated.Comment

When I saw they were doing a BR figure, I was wondering if they would tackle the ripped cowl from the end of the movie---and they did! And I'll agree that, while this DOES look like Keaton, there IS something just a little off about it, but I can't quite put my finger on what it is. Maybe it's his expression; I don't recall ever seeing him look so angry in the movie. Also, in looking at the bottom interchangable jaw pieces, I don't think they captured the likeness as well with this one as they did with the initial BATMAN offering. I've looked at MIB41's up close and personal and it looks dead-up like Keaton's jawline and lips...sigpic Oh then, what's this? Big flashy lighty thing, that's what brought me here! Big flashy lighty things have got me written all over them. Not actually. But give me time. And a crayon.Comment

^Agreed. I have the 89 Batman too, and this BR version isn't quite as convincing. I also think you're right with what's off...it's his furrowed eyebrows. His face looks a bit too broad too. Keaton is a small man, with small features.

That's a great idea for a set. But I think what is throwing me on the look is the harsh application of red on the lips (both Batman and Bruce Wayne). It's so red it looks like he has lipstick on and that throws off his appearance. As a matter of fact the whole paint app looks odd. He looks like he's wearing blush on his face and there's too much color above his eyes. I think if they did a color correction on the paint apps, that would reveal the better sculpt that lies beneath. Way crunchy on the price though. I can see a vast market opening up just for the heads and cowls in this set.Last edited by MIB41; May 6, '15, 5:49 AM.Comment

Indeed, the sculpt is slightly off.
And HT goes overboard on the "skin" these days. The pores and spots are too much on a lot of their figures..

I think they were too generous with the hair. Keaton's had bad lettuce for as long as I remember.

It could be that Keaton "approved" the likeness right out of himself. It's been known to happen.

The lips and jaw is Keaton. Nothing above the nose is even remotely close.Comment

looks better than keaton. lolComment

I think they made the shape of his head a bit too square and wide. Keaton's is more "egg shaped" and slimmer.
I have the same problem with HT Han Solo..
