NECA 7" Video Game Tribute 1989 Keaton Batman revealed!!!!!

[Sephiroth1089]

If this flies of the shelf I'm sure NECA can convince whoever that they should make Kenner versions.

Finished up mock packaging. Tried to give it a 1990 vibe. If NECA is unable to make a regular movie suited Batman, I would just make a line like this and have it include "Crime Attack Batman". Just say it's a "special black armor" like Kenner would do for the variant descriptions. They wouldn't have to worry about putting a regular movie figure in clamshells if they just used boxes.

Not sure how legit or reliable this guy is from his FB profile he works at NECA but this is what he said about a normal colored 7 inch 89 Batman

Great work as ever Fabs.

Thanks man, I appreciate it.

This would be fairly easy to transform this into the movie version. Some acrylic paint and black dye. Its tempting for me just to give it a go.

That's what I plan to do. Im buying 2. One to keep as is and the other to paint.

 

[GasparZizou]

I wouldn't mind repainting this one myself, if I had the 1st clue on how to paint eyes or skin realistically.

 

[DiFabio]

I'm just going to wait until NECA makes a regular version themselves. It's only a matter of time.

 

[GasparZizou]

Me too, if they don't release it, there's Mezco.

I have my doubts with that one.

Dark Knight Returns and Dredd? Sure, they're comic versions that they can expertly translate in figure form. '89 Batman though? It's a real film character. I just can't picture the suit, cowl, boots, gauntlets, gloves, etc. in 1/12 form. We have yet to see them adapt a film figure, the closest we've gotten are the weird Breaking Bad figures of Walt and Jesse which are stylized themselves.

I'm sure Mezco's '89 Batman is right around the corner after the Dredd reveal, so I guess we'll see.

 

[GasparZizou]

Well, shouldn't be that different from NECA's, I always thought NECA and Mezco were similar quality-wise, their Hellboy line is similar to NECA's Preds in terms of how accurate the sculpts are and the amount of articulation in my eyes, plus they went through a similar Horror movie figure phase.

So I kind of expect Mezco's 89 Batman to be similar to Neca's just an inch shorter but better quality since it's part of the One 12 collective.

One 12 collective, such a cool, classy name for a line.

Couple of quick pics for you guys-





Full review up really soon... But just gotta say- I love the figure itself. I am a fan of the video game tribute stuff, so even as-is I am happy. But envisioning what it will look like repainted has me REALLY excited! The sculpt and articulation are so nice... Once he is all black, this will be one of the best Keaton Batman figures around.

Thanks for the pics. Look forward to your review. Just hope he doesn't have the wonky eyes like the 1/4 scaled one.

His eyes aren't painted at all actually (to capture the "shadowed" look better I think). They are sculpted in there, but are unpainted.
