I just got this figure yesterday and I'm not happy with it at all. It's so loose and floppy. The arms constantly fall off. The ball joint in the torso pops out with the slightest touch. If anyone is willing to buy mine off me I'm willing to sell.

So what do u think Pj? Worth the wait lol? While I do like it quite a bit...I don't like that it pops apart in the shoulders and chest so easily. I wish they were tighter fits especially in the chest joint. |

So I was searching around for Dark Knight figures, and I came across some really awesome ones. They are made by some company called "Square-Enix". They are in scale with the movie masters figures, maybe a fraction of an inch taller, depending on the scale of the particular character. Does anybody have any of these? They blow movie masters out of the freakin' water! They are all like at least $60 though. I have no idea if that is the actual price or just some inflated price by 3rd party sellers. I don't know what their original price was or if they were ever sold for less or directly by Amazon.   I'd LOVE to own these, but there is no way I can figure out how to get any of them for less than $50-$60 a piece. What a shame. |

I have their AC Batman it looked beautiful when I saw pics from SDCC last year, but once I got it in hand I was underwhelmed with it. It really wasn't built how I thought it was.

I just ordered the Batman figure you posted pics of, PJ. I noticed Amazon lowered the price to $36.48 so I pulled the trigger. With tax, I got it for $39.44.
I can't wait to get it. I hope this same company makes other movie based figures. I'd love to get figures of Tom Hardy's Bane, Anne Hathaway's Catwoman, and Heath Ledgers Joker that are more detailed than the Movie Masters, but less expensive than those Square-Enix figures.
If same company that makes this Batman figure could get the rights to some other characters, I'd gladly pay the same price I just paid for this Batman for other movie based characters.
PJ, do you know if any other reasonably priced 6" movie based Batman figures are planned by either this company, or any other company?
Thanks!

PJ, do you know if any other reasonably priced 6" movie based Batman figures are planned by either this company, or any other company? Thanks! The square enix figs suck. They are a lot bigger than movie master figs. They are in a funky 9 inch scale. Plus their articulation isn't the best. They have a comic book look to them more than a realistic life like look. $60 is what most retailers charge for them. I saw them at midtown comics and was not impressed by them. As of right now the miracle action have released batman and the spiderman from the last movie. The next fig scheduled to be released is an Anne Hathawy catwoman. The only issue with the mafex miracle bats is the arms tend to pop out for easily when u tru to pose him. But for the price you get interchangeable hands, weapons and a flight stand. Plus a cloth cape! |

They just had a poster posed with the batman and a shadow pic of Anne Hathawy saying coming soon. The pics is in the dc classics thread maybe 2-3 pages back if u wanna c the pic. I really love this batman. If u have a mm batpod he fits great on it. |

I really love this batman. If u have a mm batpod he fits great on it. I did a quick google search and this is all I could come up with. It says 2014 down at the bottom, so it's a ways away.  I missed out on the Movie Masters Batpod back in 2008, unfortunately. I thought there was going to be a re-release of it with the Dark Knight Rises stuff, but it never happened. Any news on if that is still coming at some point, or is Mattel done with the Dark Knight for good? The prices on the secondary market are criminal, so a re-release is my only shot. |

Yep that's the pic. I know same here I missed out on the pod. I've seen pics on other forums and that fig looks amazing on it.
I was praying for a rerelease. No way am I dropping $100 on it. I'm guessing they're done with the line unless something was announced at sdcc.

Maybe we'll get lucky and either this MAFEX company or somebody else will get the rights to the Bat-Pod and/or the Tumbler....but in this economy, if they want $40 for 1 figure, it would probably be near $100 for a vehicle. |

The 60's Batmobile is going to be $59.99 too I think. If SOMEBODY could do a Bat-Pod or a Tumbler for that price in scale with figures we already have and ones that might be made in the future, I'd be tempted for sure. |
