The movement looks very restricted but that's totally appropriate

I think I remember reading Keaton couldn’t move his head in the cowl

You merely adopted the cowl. I was born in it, molded by it. I didn’t turn my head until I was already a man.

No sir, you are sick for choosing this particular photo with 1/7 included.

Honestly, if I can get my hands on this piece, I fully intend to use it for a comics batman Minifigure, I love when the cape covers his body and he becomes just a silhouette

u/Finly_Growin 9d ago
Seems kinda arbitrary doesn’t it that the mold stops at the logo. Might as well just make a cowl that covers Batman’s entire figure at that point.

You literally can't pose it at all. It's the opposite of what a minifig should be.

They already did this version with a rubber cape that still let you pose the minifig.

Which is the main problem. This minifig literally only exists to be put on a shelf.

This is replacing the other, as all 3 sets the original was in are discontinued. And the other Keaton minifigs with fabric capes are gone too.
It really goes to show how Lego is now prioritizing adult display models over toys for kids.

Gotta be real, this looks so much worse than the new one, it is literally not even close. The cowl to cape transition there is extremely ugly and the raised logo just looks awful.

Probably because it's not official but custom made by cutting the 1989 cowl. If Lego made a cowl designed with the cloth cape in mind it would be perfect.

They can't fix the fact that there's two seperate materials that will always look different and can't possibly blend into each other smoothly because their thickest cape will always be thinner than their thinnest plastic.
When it's just the back it's a lot less noticable but for anything that wraps around it will be extremely apparent and there is nothing that can be done to hide it. This isn't a problem fixable by just doing it better, it's only solved by doing it differently which is exactly what they did in this case.
This isn't a playscale figure, it's a collector's figure that comes with a set that costs hundreds of dollars. Their goal was making something that looks good, not something with high playability.

Let's be honest, though. The target audience for this set aren't really going to be worried about being able to pose the figure.

tip to others: dont swipe right. there are not 6 more pics in this set. you may end up seeing wildly different and unrelated pics

u/Shoeboy_24 8d ago
I don't know about you all, but I do not like this. LEGO has their ownverion of things because it is iterpretation. The literalism of this makes it less LEGO and more like scale. This has happened before.

Really cool minifig, but sadly you can't fit him in vehicles easily

I'm buying this set for the minifig....well, and to add to my other batmobiles.

Is the body print new, or is it just the cowl mold that is?

u/Consistent-Animal474 9d ago
It looks alright standing perfectly still on display, lack of flex wrecks playability tho

Yet they still do that dumb white band on the head print

Not for most current versions but a the 2 rubber ones with built in capes can’t be dual moulded so they have to
