Sideshow Sixth Scale Batman

[Chris]

I wish Gentle Giant would do 12" jumbo Super Powers figures like their vintage Star Wars line.

That is a great idea. This Sideshow figure is beautiful but if I buy one more version of Batman I'm going to be locked up in Arkham Asylum.

I ordered it the minute I got the email! I think it is Great.

I think it looks great and might get it if I didn't already have the DC Direct 13" Justice Batman based on Alex Ross' designs and the Hot Toys Keaton version of Batman, but one drawback for me is that it's almost as much as the Hot Toys version of Adam West coming out.

With the short ear head he reminds me of Dark Knight Returns Batman,If they were gonna do a blue/grey Batman he should have the yellow and black symbol other than that he's pretty neat.

When I look at this figure I certainly appreciate and respect the craftsmanship, but it looks like it's demographic is for people who play the video games. That's the vibe or influence I get from it's design. While its not something I would add to my collection, I can appreciate the effort being made here to break into that market since the games are so popular. It's my initial guess this kind of look may very well trickle into what we see for Affleck as Batman in the next film. If the movies are going to finally break from the black rubber, I think the only industry research that points to a successful alternate look would be the video game designs.

If so, I don't think it'll look anything like that Batman suit. I can't imagine that after over two decades of indirectly devaluing the stretchy gray outfit as potential definitive "movie" Batman gear, PLUS Superman FINALLY following suit (npi) in the style choices for Supes' outfit in MOS, that Hollywood DC/WB will make anything that looks too off the track from Supes' outfit for Bats in MOS2. Just guessing.

Ditto. This company is going to break me. lol

Up until recently, I've somehow managed to avoid entering into the realm of Sideshow Collectables/Hot Toys/$200 per figure club.

I knew that if I ever started that I'd be dooooomed.

I now have 4 figures on pre-order:

Batman & Robin 1966
Snake Plissken
Batman Sixth Scale

[The Bat]

I like the body and costume...but HATE the head sculpt. And at $200.00 it's an easy pass.
