With San Diego Comic Con in full swing we're getting previews of some amazing upcoming pieces. Including McFarlane Toys' first life-size piece.
The Batman '89 1:1 scale cowl...
Enjoy!
if hasbro can mass produce wearable star wars and marvel helmets, no reason this shouldn't be wearable too
That will make it a Nay for me.
There is literally no way to make these wearable if they are affordable hard plastic. And besides, if you’re a grown man then why would you want to wear this? I used to wear my Batman costume when I was a kid but I’m now 35, why would I want to use it to wear??
It’s called contracts. WB have contacts with other companies to make wearable Batman cowls. That’s the reason
@@XTR02 Seriously. Does this guy even understand how a helmet is different from a form-fitting batman cowl?
It's a Yay for me and I'll grab the whole line.
I got the PureArts 89 cowl a while back, which is great, but pricey for sure. If I didn't have that, this would still probably be a nay for me because of the inaccuracies, but still cool to see it made and have a more affordable price point.
The 66 Cowl is coming, it is teased on the 7 inch 66 Batman figure box.
cool
When you said yay and listed out all of your reasons, those are the exact reasons for me!
I’m wondering if they’re going to do both begins and the dark Knight cowl
I hope so they would be cool
If it is wearable, I can’t wait to see the Kilmer Sonar cowl
For the price? It’s a big Yay! … I hope the Forever cowl is next
I have pre-ordered already. I fall in the, I love the nostalgia but don't want to spend the high dollars for some added texture. I'm great with it at the price point.
Would you consider this for your custom collectibles series? I’m wondering if a bit of a matte finish along with maybe adding the battle damage from the bell tower scene could really make this POP! And at that low price, the stress level of ruining it is off the table.
It’s a yay for me, I grabbed it for 99 at GameStop. At that price I could display with a VHS and NES box with decent lighting or…try my own Chris’ Custom Collectibles!! Watch out Geeks and Geekheads
I kinda get the appeal of this 1989 cowl as a display piece but if it’s non wearable then what’s the point? The cosplay market is incredibly lucrative for a brand like DC so this feels like a missed opportunity.
I feel like it costuming is a difference license that companies like Rubies already has
NECA should make one, they already did a wearable '89 utility belt plus the batarang and grapnel gun
This one I had to get.
I had the original WB cowl back in college and sold it when I needed some cash. Always missed it.
Although non-wearable, this will bring it back into my life. Will pick and choose beyond this one.
Agree mate,would have liked the 66 Cowl first..this one will look awsome displayed on top of the Jazzinc Batmobile..I was thinking if sculpting a mouth piece and eyes into it!.Do ya know if Popcultcha is going to stock it?
I was born in 1988. I first got into Batman because of the Animated Series, since I was automatically a fan of anything and every animated series on FOX in the early 90’s. I watched Batman Returns shortly after it became available on VHS then soon after, my mom rented Batman 89 for me. Since I was a kid, I always liked the Batman Returns soon a lot more than the 89 suit. I like that the cowl is a better fit, smoother texture and it has a more menacing look. Therefore, I’m not bothered at all by the smooth texture in this cowl. The primary thing that bugs me is the emblem, the one thing you’d think they’d get right. I preordered it and I’m super excited for the cowl. But but, that emblem bro.
Australian yah nah ❤
Yay ofcourse , I was 13 when 89 Batman came out , so many great memories. My fav Batman symbol. Batman 89 has a special look to it. So glad I got one of these . $129.99 CND
1976
I just hope that with the Kilmer cowls they do both the “Panther” suit and the Sonar suit because I’m disappointed that with the wave of “Forever” figures they only did Kilmer’s sonar suit. It’s not a bad suit by any means, but it pales in comparison to the first suit he wears in that movie. So to have both options of that sleek black cowl with the gold emblem and the silver sheen of the sonar suit would be great and *cough* would put more money in Mcfarlane Toys’ pockets. *cough* *cough*
I'm convinced. I have ordered mine
I'll only pick up two cowls, this one and "Returns" cowl although I'm interested to see if there's much difference between the two as you mentioned this one seems more like Returns in terms of style and texture. Might also pick up the Pattinson cowl as well
Mcfarlane is making this, will it arrive broken in box or break when you take it out
I think some of the details that are lost is due to it being made from plastic. Still great.
Why is the logo different on his 1989 suit from the one on the movie cover for Batman 1989? And on the cowl box.
@Zapwhampow66 Oh, dang Thanks🙂
@Zapwhampow66 this is false, Bob Ringwood has stated publicly he changed the emblem on the costume.... he wanted it to look different than the classic one ( like on the 66 suit ) which he stated looking like a cartoon of an open mouth.... he added the little feet at the bottom.
Spectacular gimme 14 of em right now.
I guess yay but I'd like the option to wear it. eBay sells an 89 cowl from China For $40, I gave it a better paint job and it looks great.
Did you just purposely not mention Bale’s cowl for a reason? Mentioned every other cowl not once but twice yet totally ignored the Dark Knight cowl 🤷🏼♂️
Was probably a mistake but the dark knight trilogy is loved dearly by millions of 18 year olds that have never read or touched a comic book in their lives :)
It's $99 on the Mcfarlane store so I know shipping is nuts there so I did a comparison anyway.... something just ain't right here.... I'm from South Africa and shipping to here is crazy! So the cowl is R1800 but the shipping! The cheapest I got was R7000! So that's roughly R9000 to ship this to SA from Mcfarlane store. Crazy man! There is actually a notification on BBTS explaining why they are charging $159... shipping.
So, from BBTS, it's roughly R3000 for me, excluding shipping.
YES DIFFENTLY....... i plan to get all the cowls they release. $100 is not bad at all
Its $99.99 free shipping at GameStop.
Are they wearable?
Price not taking into account tax and shipping to get it to Aus.
Plus it’s most likely sold out anyway.
I like macaroni salad. I think it falls under the “savory” category
Got it ordered coming Oct 30th
Its great that McFarlane are doing these but this cowl lacks so much unfortunately 🤦🏻♂️
Eeeeeh, tricky one for me.
Yay
that something that keaton should’ve been wear in The FLASH
And I’d rather pick Rubie’s version than this one
You wouldn’t turn this cowl into flash
Australian, yeah ❤❤❤
Probably nay. Cool for the price but as a hard plastic it lacks a lot of the suits detailing. If it was at least pointed/curved the same I might consider it
NECA’s most similar product is it’s replica Halloween 2 mask & that thing is NOT accurate so I’m on the fence about this
It'd be a yay for me if it were made of polyurethane.
It's too dark to be 89 Batman. Looks similar but kinda has the look of Kilmers cowl.
ill wait for batman return or dark knight
That's their first 1.1 scale and it's not even accurate haha
for 99$? im sold. just dont buy from bbts that price is crazy.
Not quite accurate though. Especially its texture. The edges that go over the cape should be pointier. It may look good displayed with the NECA accessories. An affordable display piece. Or spend some extra and go with a Reevz FX instead, which is wearable and cast from the original.
Yay
Goodie or Googies?
I really like it. I just wish you’d be able to wear the damn thing
The photos aren’t really that great. Too dark.
can you wear it tho
Theres a guy in oz that makes wearable batman cowls but this will be a Nah from me.
Looks more like a Panther cowl to me.
Nay. Would rather buy a Reeves cowl.
It's total trash compared to the pure arts cowel, but it's also 1/8th the price.
& why can't it be worn?
Cuz it's plastic........................
Not screen accurate enough
Its cool but if you own McFarlane stuff or are aware of McFarlane quality & lack of detail you know its not that great & this looks like its one of those cases especially with the edges around the bottom & the ears
The fact you can’t wear it is a hugely missed opportunity.
Gonna pass!
Gay
You can’t wear it and it’s not by any means accurate so it’s nay.
Nay. just looks like a big plastic toy, which is pretty much what it is. Something wearable and presentable would have been better.
Hard pass. The detail, as you said, is lacking in an unacceptable way for $160 USD. I am particularly turned off by how rounded off the points around the neck are. This is only worth about a hundred bucks.
This thing looks terrible, I realize people don't want to spend a big money on the pure arts version but this thing ain't worth 50 bucks !
Pre-ordered mine on Amazon for $200 AU.
