Summary
This figure is a highly detailed 1:12 scale representation of Batman from Frank Miller's "The Dark Knight Returns," notable for its bulky, imposing body sculpt that captures the character's aged and gritty appearance. It features a flexible fabric costume with a weighted cape incorporating vinyl strips for realistic movement, multiple interchangeable hands and heads, and accessories including a pistol, grappling hook, and an articulated display stand with cape posing clips. Despite minor issues with elbow articulation and the cape clips, it stands out in the 6-inch collector figure market for its blend of premium tailoring, articulation, and faithful comic-inspired design.
