And here he is... Again, I was MIGHTY impressed with this figure. All the parts were very well made. Takara's all new male body seems to be as highly poseable as their females. And that SUIT! They went all the way and crafted the entire thing out of a rubbery material, like the real suit. No cloth parts at all except the cape. Check him out.... Points: 1)Beautiful sculpt on everything, from the smallest batarang to the detailing in the suit and the belt. Outstanding. 2) Excellent choice of handsculpts; ALTHOUGH it is a little difficult to switch them out. Every time I did so, the hand would detach from the wrist joint, and I had to use pliers to remove the joint from the forearem. 3)Great looking headsculpts. The resemblence to Bale is, IMO, there. Not perfect, but it's good. And it's just fine work. 4)AWESOME harness. That is an incredible piece of miniature work. A little involved to put on, but worth it once it's on. 5)Although the joints in the figure are tight, and will hold poses in the all rubber suit, they won't hold extremes. The raised fist was as high as I could get that arm to stay on it's own. This could be a major drawback for some, but I'm okay with it. Overall? It's a righteous figure, well worth the price I paid for it, and holds an honored place next to my monitor.... where he's sneaking up on Catwoman....

Alright Roy! Thanks for the pics. Looks like I may have to get me one of these. Darn. You just spoiled my track record for not buying anything from Begins!

I only hope my Hot Toys version is anywhere as nice as I hope it could be, whenever it comes in that is.
Thanks for this post Roy. Very cool!

Sure thing, Les! When is the HT version supposed to be released? Soon I hope; they shouldn't keep you waiting too long! And I'm betting you'll be pretty happy with their figure; HT ain't no slouch when it comes to producing highly detailed and articulated fig's!

What an excellent Review and set of Photos,how the hell am i supposed to resist buying this figure now?It really is quite exceptional to my way of thinking!The Bale Head does indeed look a lot better in your shots than the promo ones. Thanks so much Roy,i'm giving you a Karma point for making the effort to share it all in such detail with us.
