This is a decent figure! But I do have the ultimate Keaton 89 and returns with the Hot Toys versions. Hard to beat the Keaton likeness! But I will def pick this up!
So glad I decided to see a review in hand on this figure I was just about to pick this up for 114$ not anymore tho, the legs and hip articulation is a deal breaker. Plus they make it look much bigger in the promo pics and this one is much smaller not going for it now
It almost looks like the main cowl is from Batman Returns and the additional cowl looks more like '89... from where I'm sitting anyway...... also, the cape folds over the batwing shaped spikes of the cowl.
I'm going back and forth between wanting to cancel my order. While I absolutely love One:12 Collective, other companies are putting out great stuff at a faster rate. And a lower/comparable price. For instance, I'd love to get the Turtles Mezco just announced, but NECA and Super 7 are doing such great things that I just can't justify it.
Yeah, Hot Toys carry a price tag that I just can't justify. And really, we've got enough Keaton now - with more coming - that I don't miss it. Back when those first hit there was nothing. Now we just need more Nicholson. Thanks for watching!
I honestly just got this guy.. I get the HT version is being re-released/updated but I don’t have room for anymore Hot Toys, plus I hate spending 250-300+ on figures. I got this guy for 60 bucks and while the likeness isn’t 100% it’s still close enough to tell it’s Keaton. I mean it’s way better than Todd McFarlanes unmasked heads haha. I get they’re only 20 dollar figures but hereally doesn’t care about likeness at all. Anyway, I do worry about the undersuit so I am greatly considering trimming it off the body and either getting an 8” scale wetsuit and applying the armor to that or just gluing the armor to the base underbody and letting it at that. Undersuits are always an issue with me. I have a few Mezco Batmen that have changed color over time or just started to degrade. I guess that’s the price you pay… but something about this suit I feel like could start to crack quicker. But for 60 bucks new I couldn’t say no. Keaton is *my* Batman and I don’t have any of his figures due to my area being a scalper hell hole I never got the Neca 7” and now it’s the same damn price as the 1/4 Batman… which again, I don’t have much room for right now. A little customization and I think the will be a pretty solid.. even if the default head seems to be the Returns cowl.. which, honestly, we do need a Keaton in the Returns Batsuit. Anyway, great video. Subscribed.
Now that the One:12 version is on the way (eventually... mine still hasn't shipped) this one is more just an interesting piece of merch. Joker should start hitting places any day now. Thanks for sharing the thoughts and thanks for watching!
I've been waiting for a review that looked into that underlying suit and this is it. They made a mistake on that material which seems like bad pleather, just to have that shiny leather look. That thing will crack and peel as you move the joints around and it seems thick that it would hinder articulation range. That lower face just seems so off but the pleather material is what made me cancel this.
The suit actually flexes fairly well around the joints, but I believe you're right about it deteriorating over time. The real problem with the articulation is the way the armor is glued on. Not a great choice. I don't blame you for canceling. I just have to have the Joker and a Batman to go with it. Thanks for watching!
I just got mine and I enjoy him over all. His likeness is close enough for me.. but I’m REEEEEALLY tempted to take off the suit, give him a mat coat and then cut the armor pieces off and glue them back into the body since it’s black anyway. I removed the under suit from my Mando HT figures and they just move so much better because of it. Not sure if I should or not tho lol.
I remember that magazine, I used to have it. And I hope you decided not to cancel your Mezco 89 Batman? they start charging on the 15th, so we should have it in hand in another week or two. Nice review!💯
@@NeedlessThings actually they were supposed to charge today on the 5th, but I think they might have thought the 5th was on a Monday. I'll be looking forward to your review.
The shoe was the air Jordan 7. What’s crazy to me is they even made the bottom of the shoe the same pattern as the 7. The only thing missing is the jump man.
that suit is gonna tear and flake - and that jaw opening on the cowl is way too wide - and yah the old bat suit is just overlayed on black cloth on some parts of the costume in the 1989 film and thats what they probably did- cool reference and review
It's almost 3 months since you reviewed this figure. Did you face any problem with this beast kingdom 89 batman after that? Any breakage of limbs ...etc? I'm planning to buy this. Your review on the figure is great. That's why just wanna know if there is any problem to be concerned about?
Thank you! I've only really moved it around a few times since then, but it does feel sturdy enough. While I pose it carefully, it's more due to concern about the suit than about the figure itself. To be honest, if there weren't a Joker coming (should be here Wednesday - look for a review next week) I wouldn't feel this was necessary for my collection. It's not bad by any means, but between NECA's versions and the One:12 (also here soon) I feel covered.
Had this $100 + figure in hand and ended up returning it.the face pieces didn't look anything like the Keaton,which was a Bummer for me. the figure just didn't feel right either,it was very Weird and that Cape's gotta go.fornthat scale,it should have been Better.
Good review. I did one too, go check it out. My figure was missing the right hand completely and the left arm and left elbow arrived detached and broken. I subscribed to you.
That's awful! I'm interested to learn more about Beast Kingdom. I'd describe this figure as "on the cusp of quality". They have some work to do. Thanks for watching!
Custom Nike trainer 3s were what Michael Keaton wore in Batman 89 and custom jordan 6s in Batman returns, which is amazing!
Nice! Thanks for the info!
I hope they release both at some point
On this figure looks like he has big feet!!
I collect Mego 8 inch figures so I’m thinking of buying this .
This is a decent figure! But I do have the ultimate Keaton 89 and returns with the Hot Toys versions. Hard to beat the Keaton likeness! But I will def pick this up!
I got this. It goes perfectly with my 1989 Lego batmobile since it's huge.
Wow! That must be a massive Batmobile!
That's how I'm displaying mine, in a plexi case. Joker to join him 🙂
If you collect Mego figures or Neca’s 8inch figures that have soft good clothes. Those will go with it .
So glad I decided to see a review in hand on this figure I was just about to pick this up for 114$ not anymore tho, the legs and hip articulation is a deal breaker. Plus they make it look much bigger in the promo pics and this one is much smaller not going for it now
Glad to be of assistance! Thanks for watching!
Wow you can even see the jordan 6 details on his boots. Looks like they did their homework
Beast Kingdom figures go good with Mcfarlane Villains DC Mega figs. So you could have Keaton tackle Man-Bat, Bane, Killer Croc and others.
Good call! Thanks for watching!

Nice review the cowl i shaped more like return . I dont know if you will get the Mezco 89 but i hope we got it before 2024 !!!

Same reason why I bought this, to scale with the Joker. I wanted to get the Hot Toys version when it was released, but too expensive.
Yeah, Hot Toys carry a price tag that I just can't justify. And really, we've got enough Keaton now - with more coming - that I don't miss it. Back when those first hit there was nothing.
Now we just need more Nicholson.

8" really bothers me...
I have 6" Figuarts one, 1/12 is my standard.
McFarlane is 7"... Sometimes fits.
Yeah, I definitely don't like the scale. But as long as there's a Nicholson Joker to go with it, I don't really care about anything else.
I bought this $59 black Friday sale. I wouldn't have gotten it for $120. That's the price of the 1/4 neca Batman😅
Indeed!

You're not wrong, but I have to have it to go with that Joker (whenever it gets here).
