He looks great. If only I ordered him.

I'm fairly confident that there will be a second run. Seems to be a way they found successful to make more revenue.

I am most satisfied with how this looks to have turned out.

The subtle blush of his cheeks, and even the hands have natural colouration. Tailoring and materials also looks fab.

If this is the result of Mars Toys taking their/his time, delay away- although I’m pretty tired of waiting for Gus Fring (scheduled to release Q3 2022!!)

Bold of Mars to slap huge BATMAN text on the packaging as well, but I guess it’s too late for WB to come after the figure now.

 

[JacktheRipper]

Well, it doesn't read as Batman outright.

It's odd to have any Batman stuff on the box since it's a Bruce Wayne figure. I'm sure they could have called it Mr. Wayne and been fine.

Production paint work looks really great! Congrats to those who stuck it out!

 

[DiFabio]

Wow, that looks surprisingly good. Is it just me or does he somehow look even better with his glasses?

Didn’t order it, but between this Keaton and their Romero Joker, I’d say taking their time is a very good thing. Great sign of things to come for the Mob Nicholson Joker.

Not getting this but this makes me very excited for the Alfred. The tailoring is spot on!

 

[Rondesmo]

I would say it’s not 100% perfect in the sculpt but it really gets Keaton vibes. Still 10 times better than the 1st HT attempt on Bruce Wayne.
You’re right DiFabio, the sculpt works better with the glasses IMO.
It was a day 1 preorder for me and I’m really happy how it turned.
Love the box and the stand.
It will looks awesome next to the DX09!

I second the 1st HT attempt remark.
It hasn't held up over the years.

paint could be better, but i'll get it sent off to the prototype painter to get it touched up so should be no issues

pleasantly surprised by the tailoring the most, even if its inaccurate to a degree

if there's a pet peeve i have with 1/6 3rd party companies, its providing glass frames without the lenses

I might be in the minority, but I actually prefer them without the lenses. At that scale, the plastic used for lenses is always too thick, and obscures the eyes.

Very happy to see this come out so promising.

I didn't PO this, but I hope this means Jack is coming soon.

yeah no i can see that. im just looking at like different takes of companies attempting it. six lane and yan toys had the whole plastic glasses (though they were very oversized on their end, the lenses and the frame itself could be a lot smaller)

its probably very doable but i get it obscuring the eyes, it can sort of hide imperfections but the only real alternative is maybe going through like full metal jon and having the glasses down with real glass but that's gonna be a very pricey venture

Who is the prototype painter?
