Action Cape Batman
Batman Begins, Series 1: Mattel, 2005 SKU# H1386
ACTION CAPE BATMAN IS THE BEST BATMAN ACTION FIGURES EVER MADE.
That’s quite a statement considering that there have been around 500 or so Batman action figures in all different sizes made by MEGO, Toy Biz, Kenner, Hasbro, DC Direct and Mattel over the last 25 years.
Still this large scale Batman figure is very hard to beat. Detail and Articulation and lots of it set this Cape and Cowl above all the others. While its does not have the 67 POA of the large Spider-man this figure by Toy Biz it does have just the right amount of articulation to make it look great in just about any pose. It does not have an ugly look that over articulation can sometimes bring.
SPECS:
14 ¼” Tall, 24 Points Of Articulation (Head, Shoulders, Biceps, Elbows, Wrists, Waist, Hips, Thighs, Knees, Shin, Ankle, Cape). The figure has an Action Feature spreads the Cloth Cape open. The figure comes with one Batarang.
PROS:
It’s got awesome play value. Ball Joints at the head, shoulders and hips bring a new level to articulation in a Batman figure this size. The Action Cape feature is cool with a spring-loaded rod that spreads the cape open just behind the shoulders. The ends of the rod rotate so you can pose the cape swept up or back. The edges of the cape have tubing sewn into it that keeps the cape arched open.
CONS:
It’s hard to imagine anything wrong with a figure this good. If I had any gripe (and I don’t) it would be taking out the Action Cape feature and just having a good normal cape with maybe wires sewn in it for posing purposes.
OVERALL:
The figure has really good playability and is a really good value. Because this is the “normal looking” Batman it will probably be more sought after than the others. This is a must have not only for the Batman figure collectors, but figure collectors in general. The carrying case for the accessories is cool and the folding Batarang is a nice touch.
The last large scale Batman figure Mattel produced (available in 3 variants, Dark Gray, Blue/Gray and Black) was basically nothing more than a double sized Zipline Batman with the same limited articulation that figure had despite being twice the size. Mattel has outdone themselves with this figure.
