The armour doesn't look great, almost looks 3D printed. In the picture it looks kinda cool. It's got Keaton's lower face right from what I recall. What's so bad about the figure?
Partial sarcasm. I don't really mind you destroyed your figure. I've seen some pretty bad figures out there. I'm more into anime than DC/Marvel (though, I do like Batman, and prefer Keaton to the others), and there are some crappy figures. You really gotta be a discerning customer with those figures, because there are so many options. Like I would have thought MacFarlane Toys was good, but their My Hero Academia line is... not great. Like they don't get the faces right. A friend once told me, if you buy a girl a teddy bear, look into its eyes. Its eyes should tell her how you feel. If the eyes look dead, it's not a good teddy bear. I think the same logic applies to figures, and plushies, and all that. If the eyes don't grab me, I pass on the figure. (That said, I am guilty of buying Pops, and they all have dead eyes.)
I've collected everything from Dollar Store trash to $450 Hot Toys. Of all scales and sizes. Keaton's Batman is super special to me. Does the figure LOOK the part? Absolutely.
That's as far as this piece of garbage gets with me. They decided to try the seemless body with a wire skeleton. And that essentially ruined whatever good this thing had going for it.
If you can find the good in it's design (from a manufacturing stand point) more power to ya, man. Truly. I was never so happy to absolutely rip this thing apart with all my anger.
It's part of the reason I stopped collecting 1/12 scale figures, truth be told. I don't think I've ever been so disgusted with a product that I wanted soooo bad and waited soooo long for. Brutal.
Keaton's Batman? You monster.

Is that the Mezco figure?
Yep, that's the one.
What we waited for. How long we waited. Then I received this.
It was almost therapeutic.
