That Mark I is SICK. The Downey likeness looks to be maybe the best yet too.

I don't recall it being a Hong Kong exclusive, but I guess it could have been. I remember buying it from a domestic seller back when it was released for -GASP!- $115!! Times have certainly changed. There was also a Superman Returns figure (MMS14) at the same time - IIRC, they had numbered COAs in them indicating a run of 1200 each.

Here's a link to an ebay listing for the MMS13:

And here's the MMS14:

I've been contemplating picking up another Begins suit Batman to pose with the Tumbler (I have the Bruce/Batman Exclusive already) but the price is more than I want to pay for an "extra" figure. Wish I'd kept the MMS13 or MMS67 when I originally owned them!

yea I think I'll sell mine to get the new one and something else..thanx for the help bro

thanx bro...i had never even seen the mms13 ...what about it being a Hong Kong exclusive..I've heard that a few times..any truth to that? I also have the choice of keeping the Sideshow exclusive Batman with pretty nice Bale likeness

Those numbers (1000-2000) are not accurate for the MMS67, it was the MMS13 that was limited (to 1200, I think). The MMS67 was produced in larger numbers (no way of telling how many) and was available more widely, and is also a much nicer/improved figure (the Bale likeness is weak, though).
As far as whether or not you should swap it for the DX12, that depends in which suit you prefer. The upcoming DX12 will be the Dark Knight/Dark Knight Rises suit, the MMS67 is the Batman Begins suit. There's no denying the DX12 is an improved figure overall, though some people prefer the Begins suit.

need some help with my MMS67 batman...is true that it's a Hong Kong exclusive and only about 1000-2000 of them were made? I saw they've spiked up to about $450-$600 on ebay...I was thinking of selling mine cause the bale likeness sucks..and if I can get at least $450, I can buy the new bale and still have enough left over for another figure..But man if he's that limited I don't know if it's worth giving up

Can't wait for mine; I ordered through Cornerstore Comics. I owned one from the first release a few years ago, but sold it - and regretted it almost immediately.
