So this is how they let Affleck go out? In that suit?

The nose of the cowl appears to be pulling his lips upwards... in a strange attempt by Affleck to emulate Keaton.
Forget the suit, look at that damn sculpt.
He's about to lay vengeance... on a buffet!

Reading some rumblings that Affleck may have not signed off on his likeness for merchandise. Wonder if that’s true. The listing doesn’t say anything about his likeness.
I wouldn't if I were him.
It seems true unfortunately. as Difabio said there’s no mention of his likeness at all in the specs. The mcfarlane toys version looks the exact same way.

I find it odd a company known for their amazing and accurate likeness' decides to make a figure without the likeness of the actor that plays the character.
I mean, there's really no way they thought this suit would be a best seller, so having no likeness to make up for it, they're setting themselves up for failure.

Nah, plenty of completists here and DC diehards that will buy anything. The bank is on that bike set which helps distract from no likeness.

I wonder if a faceplate from another Batfleck would work with the new figure. Would be a fairly easy fix if so.
Is HT clever enough to do this for its fans? We'll find out in 2.5 years.

I mean if it’s true about Affleck not giving his likeness rights what are companies supposed to do? There’s still money to be made off a Batman figure.
I understand people would be upset over the likeness, but some may not care as much and just want another Batman variant.

Unless the size is different hasn’t the faceplate system basically been consistent? I would think it would work.
Has to be one of the worst figures HT has ever put up for pre-order. It's a terrible suit to start with though.
BvS regular suit was perfection. Knightmare and Armoured suits were cool as hell to.
The regular suit was downgraded in JL with those needless raised panels. The owl man suit was pretty forgettable and now we get this monstrosity.

True! I think the faceplates have been the same though. Who knows maybe they’ll change it up so we can’t use an old one.Yeah like all their neck adaptors work the same.

I mean the suit really isn’t on Hot Toys. That’s up to the filmmakers to decide. I understand complaints about the lack of likeness though.
