1. The arms do actually go up much higher. Mine has the same issue where it feels like they stop, but apparently there seems to be an issue with excess flash in the arm joint. You can push the arm up without damaging the sculpt, but you'll see the plastic flash in his armpits. 2. Bale actually talked completly legibly in Batman Begins, but in TDK he started slurring and getting too deep and raspy.
the head and neck discount from the shoulders look terrible the cape should not be under the neck. his head never moved in the movie because of the cowl, even though it would be limited articulation I think they should've just made the head and neck the same to be movie accurate. the rest of the suit looks ok, Great review Dan!!!
Dang, harsh comments already😬 I really dig this figure! The paint on the cowl can vary, people should just pick the best one. This may be a figure that people will belly ache about passing on when it sells out. Nice review👍🏻
Another great review, Dan! Thanks for all your hard work and enthusiasm. Hmm, does this mean that a Dark Knight Batman is in the works? Or are these figures limited to what's already been produced in 1/4 scale? This also makes me hopeful for a 7-inch Deadpool based on their 1/4 scale version!
Charlie Lopshire Theres a lot of bootlegs of neca toys floating about. Id be wary of buying it off ebay, especially if its from hong kong or china. otherwise, contact neca and they will replace it. They replaced my reeves superman when his arm had snapped right out the box.
Hey Dan! I just got my S.H. Figuarts Raph in yesterday and I found a hidden point of articulation! The shell is attached to the torso via a peg that has a ball joint on both ends. I noticed that the shell moved a little, so I went to slide it down, to allow him to look up more, and the ball joint came out. It plugs right back in, no problem, but I thought you might want to know this for your review. Not sure if Don and Leo have this too. If you want to try to detach it, just to see how it works, be careful because the rubbery belt could break or become unglued when trying. I recommend putting your thumb on his crotch, with the bottom of the shell resting on the back of your thumb. Then, with your fingers on the top of his shell, pull down gently, with gradually increasing pressure. This will allow it to be removed without generating the force needed to break the belt or the hold of the glue attaching it to the shell. I was amazed when I found this. it's not mentioned anywhere on the box or in the instructions, which is probably to keep people from accidentally breaking the belt, or disrupting the glue.
Interesting. I'll check it out. I got my Raph too, but I'm waiting for Mikey before I do the review, since I did Leo and Don in one video. I want to do Raph and Mikey together.
i dont comment on these very often im a big fan but i wanted to let you know that he does have a waist cut and his shoulders do move up further but mine were stuck at first it took a little work thank for all the vedios you do bud.
This figure is ok. I think the head sculpt is a bit off. Otherwise it is pretty cool. I hope NECA releases the DeVito Penguin and Pfeiffer Catwoman as 7" figures.
It's not the window, but more the complete artwork and design...usually i like the design more...this one looks loveless...compare the box to other neca toys, like the ninja turtles....there it is all harmonizing perfectly...this one looks like a casual action figure you can buy at toy'r'us...
The body looks good, as does the face, but that neck bugs me to no end. They hurt the look by adding that articulation, which is more frustrating when you look at the 1/4 scale version and it's one piece and looks perfect. I may still get it, but it's disappointing.
Looks amazing but idk looks like batman scared out of his mind or something lol all cracked out or something the eyes but either way figure looks good gots to get it.
***** Yes it is. Phelous put it in a Steffi Love dress and made an abusive relationship between the two with Bat Hero in the submissive role a running gag.
OCT POD i feel Exactly the same. That is the Perfect batman IN MY OPINION. Just Hope to GOD its not the Justice League batman. I HATE that Cowl. The ears angle back..i want BATMAN not NITEOWL
I was surprised myself and I got it myself and it really amazing, NECA has done it again.

this figure is scary
If you think about it, that's kinda the point of Batman. You would not want to approach him. That said, that figure is unsettling in the eyes.
the way the neck floats above the caps is off putting
Dang, harsh comments already😬
I really dig this figure! The paint on the cowl can vary, people should just pick the best one. This may be a figure that people will belly ache about passing on when it sells out. Nice review👍🏻
correction... the shoulder joints are tough but the can go out 90 degrees
Looks like he's staring at you and someone across the room at the same time
What a surprise! Going hunting shortly. Hope I luck out.
Hey the arms do move all the way out it's just a little stiff so I used a hair dryer to loosen it up and you can move the arms all the way out

I love your Baleman voice, lol. :-)
Hey Dan....are they ever releasing a 1966 Robin figure for the 6"line?
I just bought this figure online and when I received it the arm joint wasn't molded right, one of the eyes was out of place and it had 2 left legs.
Charlie Lopshire Theres a lot of bootlegs of neca toys floating about. Id be wary of buying it off ebay, especially if its from hong kong or china. otherwise, contact neca and they will replace it. They replaced my reeves superman when his arm had snapped right out the box.
MaxSonic I bout it on the Toys R Us website.
MaxSonic Do you think they will still replace it?
its your local Halloween adult showing up everyvyear

the pic on the packege is the 1/4 18 inch batman still neca not 7 inch
i think the head is a bit too big and neck peg sit too high. if u can push it further in this might looks lots better
This figure is ok. I think the head sculpt is a bit off. Otherwise it is pretty cool. I hope NECA releases the DeVito Penguin and Pfeiffer Catwoman as 7" figures.
Hello I just brought this one today and there yellow paint around the Mouth
Me not like....Neca usually has better Quality! Even the box looks like a bootleg
The box? I like these window boxes they've been using lately. But to each their own.
Pixel Dan look at the old batman begins toy line. It's the same packaging. Nice touch
It's not the window, but more the complete artwork and design...usually i like the design more...this one looks loveless...compare the box to other neca toys, like the ninja turtles....there it is all harmonizing perfectly...this one looks like a casual action figure you can buy at toy'r'us...

I wish they'd re release this.
The neck issue is not something general in this figure. The neck of mine looks great.
So odd NECA made a figure of this version since these movies are done.
So, when a property ends, merch can't be created for it? Silly mindset lol.
lol ikr, Keaton isn't still making batman movies
Are you speaking bats is that what bats sound like
Can't say I'm crazy about the sculpt of this figure. :\
Would've preferred a 7 inch "Batman Returns" Catwoman and/or Penguin.
Nice ..
Today i went to Toys R Us and found the 6" keaton batman... he looks like he soiled himself.😂 And i got the scar face predator.
Looks amazing but idk looks like batman scared out of his mind or something lol all cracked out or something the eyes but either way figure looks good gots to get it.
True lol forgot bout that.
WHERE IS SHE?!?!?!?!?! *batvoice*
I think I will pass, the way the cape is under the cowl is just, weird. great review though!
Oof i am going to get this in 5 days....The neck.... damn i regret buying this.
Looks like Bat-hero without the dress.
*****
Yes it is. Phelous put it in a Steffi Love dress and made an abusive relationship between the two with Bat Hero in the submissive role a running gag.
The neck super long and don't connect to his body. Head big as hell to.
mario reyes The neck does look long.
The head really takes away from an otherwise awesome looking figure.
His head looks really weird and out of proportion, but otherwise he looks great.
comment because UA-cam isn't fair anymore
they need to make a 7 inch Ben Affleck figure. Damn I dont care if i have to pay more
OCT POD i feel Exactly the same. That is the Perfect batman IN MY OPINION. Just Hope to GOD its not the Justice League batman. I HATE that Cowl. The ears angle back..i want BATMAN not NITEOWL
Val Kilmer
It took me looking through at least 10 of these to find good face paint...very unlike Neca
Nicely done by NECA, but I never liked Bale as Batman.
is his leg going to fall off?...im joking everyone relaxxxxx :p
Was not a fan of this. The ones I saw in store had derpy face sculpts.
Awful head!! Looks like Batman is sniffing Scarecrow gas again....
why tf did they choose this harley? it shoulve been a movie figure not this insipid
Ill wait for a KO from china
The head is very poorly sculpted. :/
I HATE BALE BATMAN NECA should do BvS BATMAN PLEASE NECA do Ben Batman
Ben Affleck is almost objectively worse than Bale.
neck's too long
I'm paying 60 bucks for this trash
