Which Batman Is The Best? 

For me definitely the neca one. The sculpt just looks the most like the movie to me and it is my favourite Batman figure that I own.

all these figures have something that really gets in the way from me really liking them a whole lot. still waiting for the perfect keaton figure

Dude, for $180 you shouldn't be afraid to basic pose the figure. Mezco dropped the ball. The SHF has the just as much accessories and you can pose it with ease. Likeness may not be there 100% but it's close enough. The cape is the only manor bummer of the SHF and putting the cape on the Mezco is a nightmare on its own. No way I would recommend the Mezco. EDIT: Also, in the long run the SHF and Neca will outlast the Mezco.

Great comparison video. Something to keep in mind when/if the Mezco body will deteriorate on me and I'll need to put together a custom body for it.

I'd like to think if Neca got another shot, probably with the Return's suit, and possibly a Bruce Wayne, they'd knock it out of the park with the sculpt and accessories with the way ther do their ultimate figures. *Edit* sorry for the typos for those who read it before I edited. Lol.

that black Sleav covers the. Elbow

the NECA got s that mat solid Black

I would love to see the Neca head on the Mezco body.

Very nice review!! If you want to knock down the gloss on the gloves and boots, simply use a matte clear coat spray. It won't take a lot of spraying to accomplish that. It will put everything back in line as far as the sheen goes. I know you're not necessarily a fan of the aerosol sprays, but if you are in a ventilated area and use a cardboard box as a backdrop, all should be good to go. I'd say that the Mezco head sculpt is the best, as is the paint on the head. His eyes are a bit too big--too wide-eyed for my taste, but you just know if I had one, I'd modify it. lol. I'm with you on the rubber on the Mezco figure. Even though I do enjoy the hobby of customizing my figures, it does suck that I would even have to after paying so much for a figure already. Mezco usually does a better job on things --Their CONAN figure is my favorite action figure of all-time!--but the movie Batman serves ups tons of problems for toy manufacturers. So many things have to work just right. The biggest disappointment with all three figures, I'd say, is the capes. I don't think that any of these capes are particularly great looking. Mezco is obviously the best of the three, but it's just too thick looking to me. Just too clunky. For the kind of money you've paid for this figure, I think Mezco should have found a better cape solution. At least the Mezco has the endoskeleton so you can get a seamless look. I understand why you're scared though rubber is not ideal. In regards to the Mezco figure: I don't know what kind of rubber it's made out of, but if it's in the latex rubber family, you might want to consider taking a paper towel sprinkled with corn starch to the rubber material of your Mezco body ever now and then. Maybe once or twice a year. Why? If it's that sort of rubber, the corn starch will absorb into the rubber, keeping it supple. You can wipe away the corn starch after you apply it, very easily with a paper towel or cloth rag. This will prevent aging and cracking of the latex rubber. That is IF it is a more latex rubber. I don't know if it is or not, but maybe you can tell? If it isn't, just leave it as is. Mezco is more pricey, and they always offer a lot of accessories, and that's part of what you pay for. Mezco often nails things with their figures, but they don't always. No company can do that. The '89 Batman as an action figure offers a lot of challenges for companies to overcome. I imagine this figure took a lot of pre-thought and engineering to give you the version you have. Is it good enough for the money? I think only time will give you that answer, Jack. Be sure to let us know!

his back fours beas a little sanding The Sleaves is little long

Great comparison. I have the Figuarts & Neca. Originally ordered the Mezco but cancelled as I'm in no way keen on the rubber over a metal skeleton body. Worried the rubber will degrade over time. Still I'm now curious how a Mezco head & cape could look on a Neca Body. Looks like they could make the perfect kit bash.

I have a NECA Frankenstein known for monsters and scary dolls, and lotta ninja turtles and DC heroes some marvel a lot of stuff by Neca toys Bruce Lee NECa Is hard To fine Mostly The Monster. Classics

why does th s leave s cover the Elbow

Sorry even with it’s fault’s I pick Mezco’s version!👌😎👉❤️🦇the other two don’t even come close to Michael Keaton likeness!

are the weapon Magnetic

i don’t like The Leather cape

try a cape swap

The NECA One is *SOOO* much better visually than the awkward 89 one McFarlane is doing. ⚡⚡ The McFarlane one does not look like Keaton, and has a weird neck. Looks like generic cosplayer
