I didn't like the Nolan Bat suits, Batfleck looked ok but I wasn't in love with his look, and I hated Battinson's suit. This is still my fav Batsuit so I'm ok with it even without the signature yellow utility belt.

I'm glad I was able to catch 89 Batman and the Batmobile for regular retail (19.99 and 59.99) on Amazon seeing how things have already gotten. I was still half asleep when I did my usual rounds on the internet and saw someone post the preorder links on Instagram. I immediately ordered and just went back to sleep for a little. Holy crap I lucked out because within that hour they had both sold out.

Not addressing you in particular but I keep seeing this: with people calling merch for Michael Keaton's "The Flash" Batman as '89 Batman, what are you going to do when an actual '89 Batman figure drops? It's going to get real confusing for people, especially with Flash wearing that modified Batsuit...

"1989 Batman is back up for order!"
"I only saw the Flash Batman up."
"Yes"
"Wait, Flash Batman or Batman Flash?"
"1989 Flash?"
"No, that's Returns Flash, and he isn't up, only '89 Batman in Flash costume"
"Michael Keaton wears the Flash suit?"

Don't really care. It's simple shorthand and so far it seems like we all understand the context because that has not yet happened. Maybe everyone will say " Classic 89" if they do make a "fresh off Mr. Mom" Batman but so far for me at least it's not an issue.

Personally though I'll be waiting for this one.

Kinda want that Wonder Woman just for the bare head that can be used with customs

ShabbyBlue · 03-20-2023, 10:26 AM

That Wonder Woman looks nice, but I'm sad that it's probably the only other character from the film McFarlane plans to do. I really want a Mary Marvel!

EvilMonkeyPope · 03-20-2023, 10:57 AM

Why did they make a removable tiara if they weren’t going to engineer it to slot under the hair of her new head? Way to Mattel that up, Todd! She never throws it like a boomerang in this movie, so it’s another WW84 toy that’s not Cheetah.

Surprised it didn't get a figure line. But I guess after how the Black Adam wave pegwarmed and that these characters are all getting rebooted anyway Todd isn't bothering beyond something that was probably already in the works ie another DCEU Wonder Woman. Especially since this looks to just be the same old giantess figure from before with a new head.

They "designed" it to be worn on the outside of her hair though! Because that looks amazing! (sarcasm is thick here)

Yeah superheroes already wear their underwear on the outside, so why not? They are fashion rebels.

Now they go around totally nude. With New 52 DC dropped all pretenses. No more briefs on Bats, Supes or any of the others!

They understand how to roll with the times, catering to their OnlyFans. Easy $$$.

Now I see why none of the pictures ran on the front page featured Princess Diana wearing the tiara that comes in the package. That tiara looks bad when on. We finally get a Wonder Woman, but no tiara, at least, no tiara that doesn't look like head-gear.

CosmicCreature · 03-20-2023, 03:58 PM

Cool I like the Upgrade despite tiara not looking to fit. Must have been an afterthought to put in. I think ill be trimming it down see if i can get to just fit on the forehead . with beveled edges to slightly fit under the hair.
Shows Mcfarlane does listen to the fans sometimes .At least 2 major things people were complaining about this are fixed (Face sculpt and the legs).

hasbroherofan · 03-20-2023, 04:00 PM

Happy I got to get an 89 Batmobile but I might wait to see some reviews before I pull the trigger on the plane.

Don’t really care about Affleck as Batman, but I might have bought that if it had the blue and gray coloring. From the movie. I’m guessing this is another concept art situation.

ThorOdinson123 · 03-20-2023, 04:53 PM

Official Mcfarlane announcement for that Wonder Woman

User897 · 03-20-2023, 05:01 PM

Nice thighs, ugly elbows, lol. If it was the 70's-80's, I'd expect a tiara situation like that. But the figure would be only 4"!! And, uh, that is not a good likeness to Ms. Gadot. Like at ALL.

Moose1 · 03-20-2023, 07:57 PM

The elbows look soooooo bad. And the hands looks like...crap.

Agreed. But I think by now, no one expects any of McFarlane's figures based on a real person to look like that person. This Wonder Woman may not look like Gadot, but at least she's not ugly and actually look like a woman.
