Summary
Captures the Batman V Superman film's Batfleck with impressive sculpting and paint at a smaller 1/12 scale, including two distinct head sculpts and detailed accessories like multiple batarang sets and a versatile grappling gun. The figure offers a highly poseable body and a dynamic display base that enhances action poses despite minor issues with belt fit and a slightly misaligned face sculpt. Its combination of film accuracy, extensive accessories, and compact scale makes it a standout within the line for collectors seeking a detailed Batman figure without the larger footprint or price of other sixth-scale options.
Pros
- Two interchangeable head sculpts with excellent likeness to Ben Affleck, including detailed teeth on the open-mouth portrait
- Highly detailed sculpting on belt, hands, boots, and cuffs with integrated batarangs on one hand
- Impressive paint application with clean eyes, subtle lip color, and weathered metallic accents
- Wide neck and shoulder articulation despite the cowl and suit, enabling dynamic posing
- Extensive accessory set including multiple hands, three batarangs, a grappling gun with three interchangeable tips and rope, a grenade, and a bat brand
- Adjustable leather-like cape that drapes naturally and can be posed in various ways
- Complex display stand with clear base, rods, and wire structure for cape manipulation and dynamic aerial poses
- Good overall fit and texture on the stretchy body suit with a sculpted rubber chest emblem
- Hands and head swap easily without risk of damage
- Reasonable price point around $75 with strong accessory value
Cons
- Standard portrait head sculpt has a slight misalignment of the nose and chin
- Belt rides too high in the back and is difficult to adjust lower on the waist
- Ankle articulation could benefit from more rocker movement
- Suit fabric can bag somewhat at shoulders and crotch in certain poses
- Packaging uses sticky clear tape on accessories, which may not be ideal for collectors
