Due to the way the license is set up, NECA wasn't allowed to make a straight 7" figure of Michael Keaton's Batman portrayal from 1989. The only way they could do it is to paint it in the old NES video game colors. I decided to change it and repaint the entire thing to look like the movie. This involved taking apart the entire figure, including removing the head from inside the cowl (yes there's a full Michael Keaton face under there). All the pieces were prepped, and then painted. I even put detailing in the face, including the black makeup around the eyes. For the cape, I dediced to do something extra. I took some black rayon material, and used a movie accurate cape pattern to make it. I then made a second cape, and added some wires running through the top for Batman to hold in his hands outstretched to mimic when he first appears in the movie. And now this custom Batman 1989 action figure is ready to take down the criminals of Gotham City!
This custom is also currently for sale on eBay. You can find the link in the "Toys on EBay" section of these forums. Thanks for looking! |

Fantastic work John! Though I wonder what this suit would look like in the comic blacks and grays or even... the Adam West Batman colors!
Edit: Just did a really crappy photoshop for fun... Not bad! Second Edit: Looks like someone did an even better photoshop, haha

made this custom bomb to go with my '66 Batman figure to recreate my favorite scene from the movie and TV show. It's just a Ping Pong ball with some sculpty for the cap, a twisty-tie for the fuse and a Blast Effect from an older Star Wars figure.
