Reviews
Pros
- Exceptional head sculpt with four interchangeable portraits, including one with posable eyes, enhancing realism.
- Features two capes: one with integrated posing wire for dynamic displays and one that drapes freely.
- Comes with an extensive array of accessories, including multiple batarangs, a gauntlet, a speargun, and a time bomb, significantly enhancing display options.
- High-quality paint applications and detailing that accurately reflect the iconic 1989 Batman aesthetic.
- Innovative seamless body design with hidden articulation, offering a more natural appearance and poseability.
- Magnetic connector for the head facilitates easier swapping and keeps the cape in place.
Cons
- White powder residue on the body upon unboxing can detract from the aesthetic and requires cleaning.
- Cape attachment mechanism can be frustrating; it may require significant effort to attach properly and achieve a secure fit.
- Head does not snap into the body as tightly as desired, leading to potential disconnection during posing.
- Some accessories, like the speargun with wire, lack a secure attachment method, raising concerns during play.
- Articulation can feel stiff and tight initially, posing a risk of damage if not handled carefully.
Original Announcement and Product Info
Product Description
“I want you to do me a favor. I want you to tell all your friends about me.”
Based on Tim Burton’s Academy Award winning film “Batman”, the Caped Crusader joins the One:12 Collective.
The One:12 Collective Batman – 1989 Edition features an all-new seamless body designed with an internal skeleton armature that is durable yet highly posable. Included are three cowled head portraits – one with movable eyes, achieving a new level of realism for the One:12 Collective.
Batman is outfitted in his iconic Batsuit from the film which features advanced body armor – strong enough to deflect bullets and break fists. A magnet in his collar allows him to switch between two leather-like capes – one with an integrated posing wire and one that drapes freely. The bat insignia sits front and center as a reminder to those that cross his path.
The dark vigilante comes prepared to protect Gotham City with a vast array of film accessories, as well as some unused designs, including: a gauntlet that attaches to his forearm and rotates open, a speargun that attaches to his utility belt via a magnet, multiple batarangs, and a time bomb.
After witnessing the senseless murder of his parents at the hands of a criminal, Bruce Wayne becomes Batman to rid Gotham City of crime and corruption.
