Hey fellas! Just a shout to say look out for this figure. I just picked one up and it is stunning. It is the high end of the action figures released for the new movie but worth the price in my opinion. Nice presentation box that opens up like the SIDESHOW figures do and has lots of little accessory pieces too along with poseable hands as well which can be swapped for fists too. A nice piece in my book. Like to hear what you all have to say if you see it or buy it. I also saw on ebay the new Medicom Batman figure. As ever a beauty from a very good company.

Just got my Deluxe figure Marty! Yes, he doth rule! ;D However, I think they made a mistake making the body a tad too big in scale. I am going to move the head and all the gear to a 12" Dragon body and it will be on some serious ROCKIN' street then baby!  Plus, it will save me $200+ on a Medicom figure! (which is still pulling at me very hard...) Still, I recommend this figure to everyone. |

Here's a review with some pics if anyone wants to check him out.It's not as favourable a review as you guys give him but you can get a good look at the figure and accessories. www.mwctoys.com/REVIEW_061305a.htm |

Yeah I think maybe the head is a little too small but hey it's only an action figure albeit an expensive one. The guy who did the review went into far more depth than me obviously but like I say in my book it is overall a nice figure. The Medicom is a really cool figure too.

Thanks for postin that review FB, although most of what he said I could see with my own eyes. The large hands for example caught my eye while scrolling down. The review does have a lot of great pictures to see. The headsculpt is pretty nice and would probably look better on a 12" sideshow body for scale accuracy. One could mold the armour and cast it in Latex and with the "Shrink factor of the curing latex, the armour would come down in scale slightly to better suit the smaller head. Hmmmmm whats on my mind??

Hey, even though I like the figure a lot, I agree with most of what the reviewer says.
Will said it best when he said you can see for yourself any flaws in the figure being apparent. However, having this particular figure in hand is a bit different. Ideas come to mind.. I've already repainted the face and eyes and am setting about doing my body shift-over. He will be fine.
Plus, I have been thinking on his cape for days now. Before I even had it. I think he will work out just fine.
It'd be nice to see the various versions made from this guy. All the materials are there....

Very cool review from Mike....but the big thing is this....
When and where is the Medicom Version available? That looks great....
To be honest despite its size...I kind of like the body from the DC direct figure.......it is a new blank canvas......yeeha!

The Medicom figure is of course most widely available in Japan. However look at ebay as they are on there pretty regular. Big comic or speciality shops tend to have them too and also comic/toy collector fairs or cons. Keep an eye open mate. They are so cool.
