Is that the same "long-ears" mask from the tiger stripe? I hate that look.

The previous Yellow one was already playing fast and loose with the enormous claws and ears but you could sort of fudge it because of some of the artwork at that time (the whole body was too skinny no matter what.) But the Brown costume looks absolutely atrocious here, he NEVER had claws or ears that long in the brown costume. It looks completely wrong.

Know it would be alot ot ask but, I would love more heads. This would definitely make me feel better that I never got the Batman Expressions version after seeing it in hand a few times. Hoping the QC bug misses this Batman figure. Fingers crossed also for a more old school Animated Series version.

Expected re-use of Wolverine. Hope better QC for the more original color version.

Dealbreaker. I question their decision to go with the long ears on the original figure. If it's just a straight repaint, no thanks.

How many animated Batman’s can one have? Never enough!

Ive seen the long ears on the brown costume here and there. Like this iconic John Byrne image.

Why'd you have to go and show us that? I had the comic. Shit.

[Thor Laserpunch]

John Byrne drew it is not a good argument for its existence. Fugly af!!

[deecee4]

You guys are just being way too picky lol.

I meant that you sold me on it.

[Booster Gold]

I am so glad I skipped the original version of Wolverine, this is the costume I wanted. Are we sure this is a straight repaint? The claws look more bent. Animated Batman? There's no way I wont buy this.

[305Batman]

Reminds me that I need to play the lottery!

[graphyt]

I can't decide if that Batman looks really good or not. Between the DC collectibles, McFarlane, and Mondo I just dont think I can trust pictures of that design. But I want to believe. And it looks closer to the later than the two former.

Also Wolverine claws look different so that length issue might be resolved. Still not sure on rolling the the dice on more Mafex Xmen

[Comedian]

I need more pics of Batman, but for some reason I’m quite excited for him.

[JerpJerp]

Oh myyyyyyyyyyyyyyy!!!! Bravo. I'm so happy to see Mafex is getting a serious boost. They are so on point!!!! KEEP IT COMINGGGGG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!! SOLD SOLD SOLD!

REMINDER: Please for the love of GOD check your QUALITY CONTROL TWICE! Please. These are too good to get anything but a perfect treatment.

[OriginalFire]

The Batman looks good, but don't know if I need him.

Yeah those are new claws, and I think they look pretty badass.
I'm hoping Mafex takes another shot at the yellow costume, only this time they paint the stripes black instead of blue, and they include hands with the new claws

[Madridista]

What a waste. Straight pass for me. They could have continued with the Jim Lee X-Men line by releasing a X-Men hero or villain. For DC, why not a Wonder Women, John Constantine, Darkseid or any other DC character besides another Batman.

[Barnatoys]

I always prefered the first seasons design for the Animated Batman.
And especially for the villains, never liked them on New Adventure.

So I don't think I'll take this one.

Batman sells. More people will buy a one off of Batman over a second tier character. Mcfarlane proves this with every release. It sucks, but Batman is a guaranteed sell.

Agreed. But I still like this one. Had it been BTAS, I’d be jumping up and down. That was my Batman.

Claws are different, shoulder pads are gone, and 2/3 heads are different too. Hope the yellow matches so you can swap between them all.

Man I wish this was "Batman: The Animated Series" Batman - not "The New Batman Adventures".

But I assume that's the most obvious repaint coming up, right?
