Mezco teases One:12 First Appearance 1939 Batman!

[PeterRR]

I like the Iron Man but i wish they can cover legs with fabric to hide joints. They look like marvel legends. I just got the green arrow my favorite so far

One thing I can't figure with these, and I have the same problem with Sideshow's DC offerings, is why some are comic-accurate (DKR, and this Bronze Age Iron Man), but others are Mezco-created, like Captain America? It's not that the designs aren't cool, but when they pull elements from different versions (like Cap) it's neither fish or fowl in a way, and when you get in that price range, I myself want straight iconic.

Agree 100%!
I was disappointed with Captain America, as well as their Captain Marvel with the gold rather than yellow elements, and tunic flap. If these were all straight Silver or Bronze Age representations, I'd buy every one. I had the same approach with Sideshow's 1:6 Marvel and DC figures, so I've saved a bunch of money.

It's not a first appearance Batman.

Aside from the mask, it's some really wonky looking Batman with crazy patterns on his jumpsuit. Total pass.

Hopefully they do a FA style Batman as one of the variants.

Capt. Marvel is the only one I've considered, but I admit I love the tunic flap look and usually the gold trim.

This Batman looks great; from the neck up. The rest...

^I love it...in fact it might be my favorite Batman figure ever.

[warlock664]

That's cool. I'd be excited if it were a true first appearance figure from the comics. I just can't get over the weird pattern on the batsuit and the raised bat emblem.

Honestly, they look great in person. Keep in mind these are only 6". The suit patterns look much more extreme in enlarged photos. The effect is much more subtle in hand. On my BvS Batman, it's there, but not as noticeable like it is on a larger figure.

[Earth 2 Chris]

^See that's my problem. Just give us the comic accurate version. It looks great, but to me it's like paying $80 for Lightning Luge Batman from the old Kenner series. But that's me.

^I get what you're saying, but there are already several 100% comic accurate versions out there.

I think of this as a representation of what the 1939 costume would look like translated to film.
I think we can both agree if we got this suit in a Batman movie we'd probably faint! LOL

Not in this format, tho. I like some of the noodling with the design, but the lack of trunks bugs me.

This is half assed cosplay Batman.

If you saw some dude at a con with an outfit like that you'd think to yourself, "Why did he go through all the effort to get such a nice mask and cape and then make such a terrible costume with combat boots."

This figure sucks lol.

[enyawd72]

^No, I'd think damn, that guy took a 1939 design and made it freaking awesome...but that's cool if you think it sucks.

I think Bruce Timm's Batman design sucks. (I realize I'm very much in the minority there) It's all subjective.
