Batman

1989 Edition

Summary

Hmm…Significance lies in the long-awaited release of the Batman - 1989 Edition, marking a culmination of three years of anticipation, delays, and community discussions.

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.
  • Head articulation allows for side-to-side movement on one of the head sculpts, a clever design nod to the character.

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.
  • Issues with the cape design, including gaps and difficulty achieving a natural drape, can affect overall display quality.

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.
