i know theres a thread for the classic versions of dc heros ,so please delete or merge this if necessary
got the batman the other day ,its fantastic for the money 19 inches tall great likeness to the character ,capes not too good ,but i found out after i cut it off ,that if you unpick the stitching it lies much better lol ,its got such a lot of presence for a" cheap toy ",ive repainted mine and repositioned the head to sit slightly lower and hopefully a little more naturally and ordered some cape fabric and i got to say im liking it a lot more
heres the pictures,nothing earth shattering im afraid but i think it improves it a bit ,and he certainly doesn't look out of place with the neca figures i have
before
after
as for the head mod ,i just warmed the head and pulled it off ,and cut out the inner ring that holds it on ,and pushed it on the neck post just enough to hold it on,i might build up the neck post to better hold it but probably wont as its about right for what im going to do with it right now ,stand him up a leave him there and look at it often lol ,gives a fair bit of movement and expression lol ,so with out further ado i present the many moods and expressions of 25 quid batman lol
like i said not earth shattering but boy he looks great for the money and has real shelf presence ,.again i think of it as a real cheap clean large "garage kit "that looks okay as is but can be worked to suit your own needs for the character, when i think how much ive paid in the past for "garage kits " £60 to £120 ,many were misshapen lumps of resin that had more air bubbles than a bar of aero ,and all the work i could do wouldnt have produced a figure as good as this one for 25 quid
