Whoo hoo according to action-HQ they shipped my order out today...and I should recieve it within 7-10 days. This kind of makes up for the bad news about Hush being delayed until June 23. (Well, not really. But I'm glad my order finally shipped) PJ

Hi guys I just wanted to add a comment. I collect the Microman figures of which the Micro Batman is designed from. There have been reports of The Microman figures having bad ankles that break. The joints are very tight on the Microman figures, so I can only assume they will be similar on the Batman figures. Please be careful removeing them from the package and moving the ankles for the first time as that seems to be the time that the ankles are breaking. I have yet to recieve my batman figures, but the Microman figures are wonderful so Batman will be a great addition to the collection

How are the joints on him PJ?Are they nice and tight or a bit loose? Most joints are tight. although the lower half of the double elbow is loose. My biggest complaint is his cape is hard plastic and kind of forces his head to pop off when you go to move hin neck. I think I'll be making him a cloth cape in the near future. Other than that he's pretty cool. Also his accessories are a bit big (better fit of the 6" Mattel line) Oh yeah...His grapple gun doesn't work either.( I remember someone posting they wanted the figure because they thought it was a working grapple) It's not, it comes in 3 pieces... the gun, a 3" rubber cable, and a hook. All in all I'm pretty happy with him...It's a start until Mattel gives us a super-posable Batman. PJ

thanks for all the info guys... i'm going to pick one up as soon as possibe... as far as the cape goes, do you think a super powers batman cape would look ok on it? of course, it'd need to be dyed/painted to match... just a thought...

I find the cape from the Wal-Mart exclusive World of Batman Bruce Wayne figure will work nice. It's the same cowl as the Keaton Bruce Wayne mask but in blue. Just peel the cloth cape off of the plastic cowl...and it looks like it'll work well. PJ Here's a start I have to find a way to work it around his shoulders better.

That’s awesome PJ. I have a cloth cape from mission masters batman and am thinking of using it. I haven’t opened Bats yet, but I did pick up Auto Master Ryan from micro man action series (which has the same artic that bats does) and also Marc from BOTP's. I did notice that the ankles get loose after moving them around a bit, I mean you gotta get the right pose after all. The arms do come off at the elbo and upper bicep area, or maybe its just the bicep area and at the shoulders and pelvic areas (these are ball joints). So far everything has stayed nice and tight and I am happy with them. The hands will probably get loose before the other joints do, I love the extra hands! The range of motion on these things is phenomenal. These new figures have definelty ruined me in the 3.75" scale figures. These action series figures would be awesome to pit bats against. I have been a SW fan for a lotta years, and I hope Hasbro will get onboard and add more articulation to there figures. the SA clone trooper has awesome range of movement aswell, with out all the clunky joints. By far the most articulated SW 3.75" figure out there. enjoy.

dude, PJ : that cape looks AWESOME!!! sooo much better than the stock cape...
it'd be cool to see a repainted version (specifically i'm thinking a black and yellow keaton batman)... maybe add some shin armor and ribbing on the gloves... it'd make an excellent custom...

So that's the problem. They sure didn't seem to mind charging me for the figure back in March. They charged me back on March 11th also. Keep checking the status of your order on their website. Because after I e-mailed them and was told they were trying to get more for pre-orders I was told they would contact me. But a week later I had just happened to check the status of my order and saw it had shipped. (I never got a shipping conformation e-mail) It said I should expect it in 7-10 days...well, I recieved my order the next day. So you might want to keep checking with them. PJ

No he's to big. There are PVC & Key ring figures that came out a few years ago that are in a better scale. PJ

I love this figure, I just really wish it came with a cloth cape. The cape he has now really limits alot of his possible poses.
