NECA - Classic Batman '66 TV Show Figures

This pic is of the box art next to the Mattel box art...almost exactly the same.

I'll post the rest tonight but I have a little bad news. Upon closer inspection (inspecting with an LED pen light) I have some slight paint defects on the nose of the cowl.

Now it looks at me everytime I look at it...I'm sending back for an exchange.

I'm bumping this photo, because it's so full of WIN.

Yeah, it looks great. I'm really impressed with how it turned out. Good pose too.

The only thing I don't really like are the messy painted nostrils these seem to have. From the samples I've seen, the paint is poorly applied. I hate how one nostril is bigger than the other.

I also think I prefer the original face sculpt. The final one looks too cartoony.

I LOVE the rest of it though. The blue cape, the paint apps on the body, the accessories and the belt, it's really well done. I think I'm definitely picking this guy up.

Can't wait for the '89 Keaton Batman.

Sorry for the crappy iPhone pics but enjoy.

Emarae has a short review on Youtube. I really think NECA did well on sculpting the likeness

The UK stock of this great NECA 1/4 scale Batman is due to reach shops and online retailers from Monday. I hope that the 89 Batman isn't too far behind it, as this one looks great.

I received my batman I bought from eBay yesterday. The left leg joint was broken and bat logo paint work on his chest not good. Fix the color of bat logo not big issue but fix the broken leg joint is. Just for your information to check before you buy.

Same happened to me. I didn't see the leg untill later that day. I had to take it back to Suncoast and exchange it. So it's all good now

What's the current best price on this out there?

WOW, NECA Westman looks great there, kdoty1! He actually shines despite having the high-end Baleman at the back!

I may sound like a broken record but it's just that torso joint that gave the figure away and kept it from being perfect.

You still have a Suncoast? Jealous!

I don't think the waist joint is a bad thing in this case. Not sure there was a way to hide it.

They should have just eliminated it...it's virtually useless.

I was bored so I did a quick photoshop to remove the ab articulation. I'm sure someone else could do a much better job in hiding it but I just wanted to see what it would look like.

 

[Lee in MI]

That's what we should have gotten.

 

[Sephiroth1089]

Maybe customizers can try using putty to hide the ab articulation since it seems like it doesn't really add any real articulation.

$89.99-99.99

PERFECT! Nicely done, Sephiroth!

NECA should have just done it the way they make their 1/4 Predators. Still a great figure though.

Just opened mine, it's amazing. Really amazes me that we get this quality for a good price!!! Almost looks as good and lifelike as a ht figure.
Bring on 89 bats NECA!!!
