They are about the same. But the Returns 2 pack is more valuable obviously.

Ahh gotcha. Yeah I went with the single figure since I hated the Keaton likeness on the Bruce Wayne head.

 

[Cocoboloboy]

I think the 89 symbol is still the best to date…

Same here.

Koob said the Returns is praised for it’s cowl and “correct” symbol meaning most think the 89 has an inferior cowl design and incorrect symbol. I was curious what he meant by that.

 

[Rondesmo]

IMO 89 is superior on all aspects:
Cowl, suit, emblem…
Always thought that returns is too sleek and looks like a fancy dress…

 

[shells075]

Only wish the 89 Bats had ratchet joint like Returns Bats.

 

[Evil_Deadite]

Wow, looking at all these custom capes has be itching for a replacement. Definitely going to look up Jaxon. They drape beautifully from what I've seen here, not to mention they cut down the silhouette of the figure considerable, and when you're trying to make more room in a detolf that's a big bonus!

Also, I've seen other members allude to applying some sort of cleaner or lotion to the suits. I've just been using a damp cloth all these years. What do you folks use on your 89 & 92 Batmen, or what would you recommend? Thanks!

Edit: Yeah, I realize the batsignal is waaay to small

Hope HT or innart make this guy in 1/6 again :/

I finally got my hands on one of these. I have to ask, though…….how exactly do you POSE this thing?

EDIT: answered my own question looking back in the thread. Sounds like the arms are a common problem.

The arms needed ratchet joints to hold poses with the suit being so restrictive. Thats one of the things thats better about the Return's Batman figure.

Yep. I have photos of poses '89 Batman could do when he was new ten years ago that he just can't hold anymore.

 

[DiFabio]

When Hot Toys revisits ‘89 Batman, they’ll probably give him ratchet elbows . . . and change/fix nothing else. No new head, no new cape, no new suit.

Judging by Bespin Luke, that seems to be how they roll these days.

 

[punisher1974]

Yep I remember being able to do some poses that he can't hold now. He looks good in a museum pose at least by his Batmobile.

 

[Rondesmo]

Yeah, the best option is in a museum pose IMO.
And if you’ve got the Batmobile to pair with, it’s the ultimate display.

 

[Hologram AI]

I doubt they'll reissue. The next Keaton figure will probably be his suit from The Flash.

 

[davejames]

That does look like a pretty nice evolution of his previous batsuits. Really can't wait for the HT figure.

 

[sj2106]

Yeah that does look nice. Wish they'd kept the belt yellow but other than that it's good.

Still need a reissue or new version of 89 Batman to go with Mars Toys Joker.

 

[chrisstbh]

Still cant turn his head after 30 years.

 

[davejames]

Well it wouldn't be a Keaton Batman if he could turn his head.

 

[Jay Virtual]

With the DX19 being substantially larger than the older releases, this figure desperately needs a height mod. I've seen people using this figure to mock how small Keaton was compared to Batfleck but conveniently left out the fact that HT changed their scaling around 2015 which left a lot of older figures being shorter and somewhat smaller.
