[@lucianoibanez.]

Hi Matt, excellent video, I haven't been able to find this figure yet, but it's a goal to be met, I want it haha, greetings bro!!

[@MattandTheRetroRoom]

Thank you for your kind comment 😄 If you’re located in the US, then there are some online stores selling it still. I think I said on the video Big Bad Toy Store are selling them for $125.

You can always easily pop the head off an buy a custom wired Leather cape on eBay. Batgirl makes some of the best capes. I have a few for my McFarlane figures. But I wanted to get one for this figure as well. Or if you had some thick wire. You could probably wire this cape yourself. Just stuff it in the slits.

[@MattandTheRetroRoom]

Thanks for the advice. I was thinking of putting my own wire in the cape, need to see what thickness I’d need.

Bro I’ve been trying to find out if the mask was removable for DAYS now Im so glad you actually were the only reviewer who tried to lift it up and showed it moves slightly haha. I saw in the The Fwoosh site. Apparently someone WAS able to remove it with a bit of heat to adjust the way the mask sits on the eyes as theirs was sitting too low and it actually has a full on Keaton sculpt underneath. Maybe they slit it from the back to be able to do so first but I honestly dont think it’s worth to ruin the beauty of the figure over. Would be devastating to destroy the cowl in the process of curiosity

[@MattandTheRetroRoom]

Haha, no way! When I felt the top on the cowl, you could just about feel some (what I think was hair) texture underneath the cowl. But it’s a very tight fit, so I just figured that it wasn’t removable. Good shout on the heat gun option though, but like you said, I wouldn’t want to risk damaging it! If I had a spare I’d probably give it a go. Thanks for your comment, much appreciated 👍😁

I really don’t hate it. But I think it’s really down to the price. I’m becoming more and more sold in hot toys of late. They are a hefty investment, but compared to the prices of figures right now, it’s actually more economical to go hot toys.

[@MattandTheRetroRoom]

I was having the same thought not so long ago!

[@MattandTheRetroRoom]

Some of the smaller figures are getting really expensive, and the quality is just the same. Mafex for example is getting more expensive.

[@benvinciblevince4067]

@@MattandTheRetroRoom agreed! Mafex isn’t far off hot toys RRP’s

[@MattandTheRetroRoom]

The Mafex T2 T-800 is over £120. I’m assuming it’s difficult to produce, as their usual pricing is under 100.

[@benvinciblevince4067]

@@MattandTheRetroRoom that’s what I mean, another hundred and you can get a hot toys. Hot toys range from 150 - 400. But mostly on release I’d say they go for around 230. Unless you want more extras.

hOPE MEzCO'S BLOWS THIS OUTTA THE WATER

[@MattandTheRetroRoom]

It probably will, the new Hot Toys version definitely will.

[@TheBatman-1989]

News flash.. It didn't

[@thevirtuouscollector]

Hey Matt, happy new year. Did you ever bought any other 1/4 Batmen? I just got the Arkham Knight one and it's AMAZING, like wow, even better than the Hot Toys!

[@MattandTheRetroRoom]

Hey thevirtuouscollector, nice hearing from you again 😀 I have seen the Arkham Knight figure you speak of and it *does* look really nice, I have been temped. I will have to keep a look out for one 👍 Happy New Year!

[@thevirtuouscollector]

@@MattandTheRetroRoom just for that I'll be shooting a showcase vid of him in January, he's THAT good.

[@MattandTheRetroRoom]

I had a typo in that last comment 🤣 I was meant to say “does” not “doesn’t” lol apologies for that! Yeah definitely do something with it, I would be interested in see it.

[@thevirtuouscollector]

@@MattandTheRetroRoom wow that's literally the WORST place in the sentence for a typo. True story, I once tweeted to Kevin Conroy that "a dear friend sent me a batman collectible" and he replied with his condolences after I mistyped "dear" with "dead". To say I was embarrassed was an understatement!

[@MattandTheRetroRoom]

@thevirtuouscollector OH NO 😳 I’m terrible at proof reading before hitting the send button! Still very cool that the Mighty Conroy replied to you. Apologies again, I’ll make more of an effort reading back my comments in future 👍
