MAFEX Batman Thread and Review
 

Ever since I knew this was coming I was lusting after this guy. Finally got him in today, 3 of him actually so if any of you want to trade for him hit me up as I can ship within 24 hours with tracking. Anyway, it cost me $360HK which is about $45 USD. It's definitely not cheap but its about the same as 2 ML figs and tbh this is much better.

Packaging: 9.0/10
Again the packaging on the inner container is too tight (like Spidey's) and when I opened it all the parts spilled out, I almost lost the grapple gun.

Accessories: 9.0 /10
He comes with 5 hands. 2 of the standard open hands, 2 fists and 1 for grasping the guns. The only thing he lacks is a batarang, I'm not sure the pics do the guns justice the level of detail on even the accessories is top notch. And YES a cloth cape!! I was never a fan of cloth capes for figures. But this one works, the only gripe is that it's a bit on the thin side so imo it could tear easily.

Paint: 9.5/10
All I can say is wow. There are certain poses when it looks like its actually from the movie, kinda like a mini hot toys figure. The only thing for me is the eyes are staring up a bit too much for my tastes which means my Batman has to be constantly have his head slightly tilted forward to look straight. The flesh tone is sick imo.

Sculpt: 9.5/10
Wow this is perfect in almost every way, size and scale all fit right into any 6 inch DCU and ML line up. It dwarfs the Movie Master Batman I have from Batman Begins. Too bad I sold my DKR MM Batman awhile ago in anticipation of this. But this figure is awesome. Even the detail on the utility belt is crazy. It shares the same weird ball joint hips on sliders as the Mafex Spidey but it's hidden cuz of his armor.

Articulation: 9.5/10
The articulation is great but 1 minor point. Cuz of his shoulder pads when you move his shoulders back past a certain point the ball joints will come out from the main body, it's range of motion is less than Spidey cuz of the sculpted pads. Nonetheless this is a bad ass figure in every way.

Scale: 10/10
Wow, can't believe we finally got a perfectly scaled movie Batman!

WOW....it does fit in pretty well with the comic figures scale-wise. My only issue is the direction of the eyes! Otherwise I might end up getting this and Spidey later this year, the sliding hips further reinforce my theory that this is Medicom's answer to SH Figuarts.

I think you'll love this figure. This is my fav figure of all the stuff that i've gotten recently.

Looks pretty damn good, and yes, it's like a grown up version of Mattel style 6 inchers. Interested to see what they do beyond Spidey and Batman, not looking for figs of them at the moment.
