The next Batman from Tamashii is the Batfleck from Justice League. Accessories and price are currently unknown, all we know is that he will be a retail release in November. Expect more pictures and details next week.

Damn, that doesn't look half-bad. Missed the Mezco BvS version, and don't like the proportions of the MAFEX version, so unless Mezco does another version for Justice League, I might have to pick this up.

[warmachine6]

i think mafex is just about cheaper, but i might move to s.h.figuarts .... also varies on accessories, Varies on Wonder Woman XD

[Tomax]

doesn't look bad, whats the size? 6"?

[Unhinged1983]

Pretty cool! Starting to really like these

Figuarts are about 6" in scale, yes.

[Ventus]

Mafex one is better.

i got my Knightmare Batman a few Days ago, and the UNMASKED
Bruce Wayne Head from Knightmare Version also fits perfectly on
Mafex normal Batman Version.

In my opinion, Bandai / S.H. Figuarts goes the wrong Direction:

- They do not add unmasked Heads to their Figures anymore
- They need almost 1 Year or more to show new Figures
- Star Wars Rey and Finn Figures have been shown already, but after this
it has become very quiet concering the Star Wars Figures

I really do not know what happened to Bandai, i bought many Figures from them, but when it comes to the release of Figures in 2017 or
accessories like unmasked Heads, iam really disappointed.

If I compare pictures of the two I think the Figuarts one is better looking. Just better proportions overall and the headsculpt of the Mafex one is kinda bad, at least compared to the Figuart.

That's fair. Meanwhile, I'm happy how much they expanded over the last couple of years while offering more stuff I want with the same good quality.

That sounds like they used to do it without exception and then stopped which isn't the case. Unmasked heads were always something which they rarely included as accessories.

What does that even mean? They cover a huge variety of franchises nowadays, if you only collect one then yeah you might have to wait a bit. That's just how it works with high-end collectibles.

You've criticized them for offering figures way after their corresponding movies are out in the past which I can understand, but I still rather wait and get the quality I want then to buy something cheaper just because it was out first. But maybe that's just me.

Well, there's a reason for that, The Last Jedi. They are surely preparing a new wave for the movie and like usual we'll see all of them within a short time and then they go up for pre-order so they are out around the time the movie hits.

The Rey they showed wears the Resistance outfit which seems to be featured in the new movie too, at least in the beginning, so they might save that one for this December.

And the Finn they had on display was just the Stormtrooper version, maybe they just didn't think it would sell well enough.

Hmmm...looks a bit brawnier and ripped than the Mafex version. And the head sculpt seems as if it has a slight comics-look stylization going on, Mafex's seems like more of a literal translation of what was seen in the movie.......unless of course, the cowl has been revised for the Justice League movie.

[VashTS]

Mafex for me. It just works better with the scale of American figure and the Knightmare is awesome.

[jwyss234]

This figure looks awesome. I have the BvS Batman figures from Mafex and Mezco and while they're good, I don't think either really captures the look of the movie. The Mafex is too skinny while the Mezco doesn't look as ripped due to the cloth costume. This new Figuarts looks like it nails the look of the movie.

Batman's cowl in JL is slimmer than the one in BvS. I think the idea they're going for is that Batman and Wonder Woman had retired but were called back into action in BvS. With Superman "gone", Batman is upgrading his gear so the suit and the Batmobile will look different in Justice League.

[Chopper Face]

I knew I'd end up buying more Batmans. Guess I'll have to get this figuarts regular suit and maybe go with Mezco for that new armoured suit unless Mafex impress me which is likely as they've been upping their game lately. That Knightmare batman is pretty great. Only thing I'd change is to include a screaming face so I could pose him going full berserker. A posable jacket would've been great too but that's just too tricky in the 1/12 scale.

[Augustus_Cole]

Never wanted a DCU Movie batman....UNTIL I SAW THIS ONE.
that thing looks on point!!

[dukefett]

Glad they're actually releasing it near the movie's release date, instead of a year and a half later.

[OriginalFire]

This one actually looks good

[Toonstrack]

Ive skipped every BVS Batman that showed up, mainly because I didnt really enjoy the film. But with Wonder Woman being so good and Whedon taking over for Justice League, I may just be interested in this. I really hope they do Cyborg, I love his design in the film.

[Augustus_Cole]

does anyone know what specific suit this is?? (which movie)

cool thnx....yeah i really think i want this one..

[Ravenxl7]

This... actually looks really good. Better than the Mafex BvS figure imo. That said, they need to darken the gray of the suit. From what we've seen so-far it's a much darker, almost black, gray.

I'm curious to see how a Mezco One:12th version would look.

[RamenRider]

The item page for Batman is up, he'll cost 6,264¥ and comes with three additional sets of hands, a grappling gun set and a Batarang. Pre-orders go up in Japan next Monday, July 3rd.

S.H.Figuarts Batman (Justice League)

[Joe Moore]

As always, thanks for the heads up. That Batman looks good too!

[opticus]

I hope he does not have that awful wired cloak like TDK

[OriginalFire]

Um, yeah, this is awesome

[VashTS]

I agree with one of the above posters. Mafex is the way to go but you probably need to get all 3 Batman figures. Knightmare is a must and completes the other 2.

Mafex is in scale with American figures and figuarts are not is a major reason.

Mafex for me, I will skip the Figuarts release.
