1/6 Hot Toys - The Flash - Batman and Batcycle Collectible Set

[The Buffinator]

I can only deduce that in the movie Barry uses the Speed Force and changes the past such that Austin Powers' Fat Bastard is now Batman lol. Even if you strip away all of the strap-on armor that's still one chunky Caped Crusader. Maybe there's an in-movie explanation that justifies this look but regardless it's not one that I want on my shelf. Hopefully the bike can be purchased separately - I'll throw my Tactical Suit Batman on it and call it a day.

LOL - I was actually thinking the same thing - that’s fat bastard under the cowl

 

[Chopper Face]

Everything about this is dreadful. Even if it's not even Battfleck in the suit, those open-mouthed expressions are completely unnatural looking.

Who wants to own underbite-man?

Don't worry, Bats, one day you'll get a decent blue and grey suit. But not this day.

Don't think I'm getting anything from this movie unless they take the opportunity to re-release the Returns suit.

 

[Entropy]

This could have a 100% Affleck face plate and it would still be a hideously ugly design/figure.

 

[Johnny Utah]

Anyone think they'll do an Affleck Bruce Wayne from this?

 

[LiamNeesons112]

I can’t stop laughing at how short and stumpy looking the body is. Maybe it’s Bat-Mite.

 

[RulerOfAsgard]

Yikes! This is probably the first Batfleck figure I won't get. He looks like the tubby tuba player in the school band on halloween! Strange, it feels like hot toys raises the bar with the Keaton release and then sh*ts on Batfleck

 

[fatmarco]

I think there might be some merit in accusations that they don't have Afflecks license. Look at the two right sculpts, they're the same teeth sculpt but the new one has had its cleft chin removed / erased for seemingly no reason:

(^final version for reference)

Now why would you not reuse an already made sculpt, but instead sculpt a brand new set of face plates that remove an actors most iconic facial feature?

 

[nm.ct]

It will be funny when the movie comes out and we realizes this Batman is Keaton all along and Hot Toys actually spoiled the movie

(I hope not cause that would be dumb)

 

[hbhf]

Looks meh and I was hoping the cape and cowl would be more blue like in the trailers. Oh well, I'll stick with Keaton.

 

[amusedjester]

What is going on with this thing? Batman in BVS was the scariest version I've ever seen him in movies. This one just makes me afraid he'll come after my donuts. To be fair, the first BVS photos from Hot Toys was also wide and fugly but the suit design was already not one I favor and that face is just NOT Afleck. I wonder what is going on with the undersuit, though. If you were to remove the armor, will there be a complete suit underneath, with the symbol?

 

[Dellyboy]

HahHa that ain't Affleck! Looks more like the cosplayer Saadleup

 

[BigBoss9293]

Yeah it looks like they lost the license for his likeness - either way, still a purchase for me. I ordered custom cowls for my BVS and Knightmare Bats. I will do the same for this one - at least a custom mouth plate.

No mention of Ben Affleck in the specs description. After seeing McFarlane’s generic headsculpt, I think it’s safe to say that Hot Toys and other toy companies were not granted the likeness rights for him.

All previous figures make mention of his likeness, even Batman figures without a Bruce Wayne head.

The movie-accurate collectible figure is specially crafted based on the image of Ben Affleck as Batman in Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice.

Gotta wonder if this throws a giant wrench into that InArt Batman Hopefully not if it's a China license

 

[ironwez20]

Man that’s an ugly suit

This makes me that little bit more happy with my Justice League figure and its pretty damn good Affleck likeness and Wayne sculpt. I know the outfit isn't as popular as BvS and even HT's execution of it could have been better but if I had been waiting for this new figure to represent Batfleck, man what a let-down.

Batman Sixth Scale Figure by Hot Toys

 

[Johnny Utah]

They should really update this ASAP. I haven't seen this kind of universal venom for a HT figure in a while.

 

[franpincho]

What the actual **** man.
