- Yes I decided to get the new 1989 Batman from Hot Toys. I got to curious, but unfortunetley I will have to send it back. I also have some thoughts on this figure now that I have it in person.
I've had the DX09 since it's release and it's literally sitting behind me and my detolf. I'm an '80s kid and this movie is my childhood. I was really thinking about picking up the 2.0 at the very beginning of its release due to the cathedral diorama. After the 30 or 40 videos that I've seen on this guy, I decided that I only need one Keaton Batman from 1989 Batman. I just hope we get a returns Batman 2.0. I missed out on that guy
Besides the face plates it's alot better than the DX09. The body texture I remember in the movie. Batman Returns had the smooth body armor
Hot toys always struggles with capes for some reason. All their Batman figures are all the same. Other than the cape and the overly textured suit, it’s a great figure.
I have both the DX09 and the 2.0. In my humble opinion the new figure looks way better. The DX09 looks outdated even with the better face plates. To me the better figure is the 2.0.
@@GambitRodriguez-sl2hz That’s great! The good thing of this two versions now is that there are more options to choose the one you like the most for your collection. As for me I do prefer the DX09, but I also think the new one is a good choice minus the cape it comes with. Even though I had to return mines I would still like to get my hands on it again and still have both versions, but this time I’ll get the deluxe with the diorama and buy a custom cape for it. Hopefully my waitlist converts for it.
I really like this figure thought I totally agree the quality of the prototype was better, but I'm a bit angry with Hot Toys, but that's not new. Because it is not the first time that their final product is deceptive and also because of their lousy quality control. We pay a lot to get those figures and they don't seem to respect that.
I had it preordered until I watched a few reviews and cancelled it. Hot toys is just like Neca...they've lost their touch.
You have a link to that Batmobile wallpaper?
@@patientmental875 I don’t have the original link, I got it a while back, but I found one similar you can test.

I pre-ordered mine and it looks like the Batman from the movie that’s what I’m looking for
QUIERO TENERLO.🤩
A beautiful and well made figure. That unfortunately, looks nothing like Michael Keaton and has a fugly texture that is not even close to accurate. When I look at the insane accuracy of other Hot Toys figures I can't understand what the happened to this one.
The dx09 1.0 is superior in every way, the cowl, the likeness, the suit, this was just a huge letdown as a new supposedly revised 2.0 and it’s just honestly a downgrade. There is nothing superior here that’s better than the dx09.
That’s too bad my friend it came damaged.. outa curiosity it doesn’t come with replacement spikes for the gauntlet?
@@markenos9087 Unfortunately it didn’t. It only has parts to swap in and out of the figure like face plates and fists, but no replacement parts. I now joined the waitlist with Sideshow for the Deluxe version, hopefully it will convert.
Have you tried contacting Hot Toys or have the store you bought from contact HT to see if they can send you a replacement gauntlet?
@@vspectra When I contacted seller they just sent me a shipping label to return it, maybe they didn’t have a replacement. I added myself to the waitlist on Sideshow for the Deluxe version now and try my luck with them. We’ll see if it converts.
@@BatmanCollectorDad Hope it converts for you!
Personally I think this is better than the DX09. I agree the faceplates are better on the DX09 no argument there but the cape is way better than the umbrella of a cape on the DX09. The texture on the suit was on the rubber suit worn in the film. It’s sad that you basically “rented” this from Sideshow and are returning it so somebody on the waitlist will get your used manhandled figure. The missing gauntlet pieces you can find loose parted out from Toy Anxiety or Monkey Depot. I know you shouldn’t have to but I’ve had to do that many times before with figures from Hot Toys because dealing with Sideshow’s customer service for replacements is like pulling teeth when my time is worth more and I can get the parts I need faster.
@@decadentdaveThere are a few scenes in the movie where you can see the suit very clearly and it doesn’t have the texture at the level of this figure. But like I said on the video, that wasn’t an issue for me since it wasn’t that noticeable even if it wasn’t accurate, but in my opinion the DX09 suit looks better. Also I never said I got this from Sideshow, I got it somewhere else. Now since the seller didn’t have another one I joined the waitlist for a Deluxe version with Sideshow so I guess now Im attempting to buy it from them. Not sure what you meant by “manhandled” but that figure came as is and I just had it out for the video and then packaged it back to send it to the seller and I don’t think I am handling it roughly on the video either.
@@BatmanCollectorDad not sure why you are returning the figure to the seller and getting on the waitlist with Sideshow if you really don’t like this figure but whatever. You can easily pick up a loose gauntlet piece. Should you have to? No, but as Batman says, “It’s not a perfect world.”
@@decadentdave I never said I didn’t like the figure. Do I feel it’s inferior to DX09 or to the prototype we saw last year? Yes, but I did say it was still a good figure to have and it’s one I don’t mind having in my collection since Michael Keaton is my favorite Batman.
@@BatmanCollectorDad you already have the figure, why return it open box to the seller who then has to sell it as “used” and get on the waitlist to try to get another just seems ridiculous. Bite the bullet and buy the part and avoid all the time, hassle and inconvenience it will cause both you and the seller.
@@decadentdave It’s interesting that you are very stuck on me returning it for some reason. Don’t really understand why, but it is what I wanted to do and it’s no hassle to me in any way. The figure arrived broken and I returned it simple as that. I see you would do it in a way that makes more sense to you which is to search online for a piece that may or may not be available and spend money on. That to me makes no sense unless it’s for a figure I’ve had for a while, not for one I just got new, but you and I are different individuals so it makes sense we wont do the same thing. I joined the waitlist because it’s what I wanted to do, if it converts cool , if it never converts then I’ll move on. Im in no rush for it cause I have the DX09 anyway. There are other collectibles Im more focused on right now.
