MMFTCNEWS- Batman Wave 4

[DC_Guy]

Not a fan of the "Neal Adams" Batman. More often than not, Adams' Batman was shown black with blue highlights, not sky blue as here. The Batman '66 figure actually has the color scheme the Neal Adams one should have, and I may end up doing a customization, especially if the "Neal Adams" head ever becomes available separately. For now, an extremely regretful pass.

R'as Al Ghul looks good, though, and I'll probably pick up the Scarecrow eventually. Already got the bagged Commissioner Gordon, so I'm set there, I think.

Easy pass on the variants for me but those other figures look pretty nice from what we can see. I'll wait to see more pics before ordering but overall I think the new Batman head sculpt looks nice.

On Batman Wave 4...

I'm kind of bummed that Ras Al Ghul is not wearing a green suit. But the bulkiness of the clothes might help with the scale of the head.

Finally, Commissioner Gordon. My eyes could be failing me, but that coat is more gray than green, isn't it? Clothes are different from the baggy pre-release too. Just gotta swap out those glasses...

I have the Scarecrow already, which is a great figure. I do not see any differences between this and the Kresge card version, so I might fill this slot with a second Batman. Maybe...

Batman. Hmm. A lot of shiny going on here. I think the glossy head is kind of throwing it off for me. The shorts are shiny too. I'd like to see more pictures. I like the cape. I wonder how it fits, because the hole looks small and I do not see a '66 style clasp. Is it not removable?

I hope this is a shift to more realistic looking figure, while not going NECA realistic.

The 1966 Batman variants look nice, but with space gone before I even started buying these, they are a pass much like the EE exclusives were.

Besides the new noggin, he's got the better glove hands and sculpted boots, and a much longer cape (hopefully wired!) than the the JLA Batman. So quite a bit that's new, and all very welcome.

The Scarecrow we've already seen, but the other two look excellent as well. Looking forward to this set!

I'm hoping down the line we get a similar Superman upgrade...

FINALLY! We have a winner! Batman looks GOOD! No GIANT head...I'm Buying him!

Another fun read top to bottom. I always keep my calendar free of meetings at work every Friday morning just for this. Thanks!

Appreciate knowing that Jason.

(*Customized in the sense they took the existing JLA Batman and gave him a new head, and hands.)

A new head is a pretty big deal, i kind of agree the JLA Batman was mainly minor tweaks but I think once you make a mold, it's beyond that.

Dang, newsletter has only been up 30 mins and already the thread has been started. Oh wait....

Well "Customized*" Neal Adams Batman looks nice, "Variant" Commissioner Gordon is ok, Ra's...I'll wait until I can actually see a pic from Scott Beatty's website which shows everything in scale ( or not). The clothing he has on does make him a
little too "buff", but that is just probably the layers of clothing and not necessarily the figure itself.

Scarecrow, I like my custom better.
