Legends Exist Regardless of the Time
Through generations, there has always been a force of justice that agents of crime, chaos and evil have contended with. Every incarnation of Batman that existed throughout time stood as a beacon of hope and a reflection of the age it is a part of. Utilizing and innovating the technology available, Batman is ever vigilant even in lawless times. These figures provide a chance to see the concept of the vigilante we know now envisioned through intriguing epochs of time.
'A Batman will always exist, as the Dark Knight is Timeless.'
This totally new Batman steam powered tech suit is designed by a Japanese artist Hitoshi Kondo. I really like the heavy black armor look with the bronze hi-lighting the edges. The engraving on the armor, the gears and cogs, and the transparent chest plate etc., all these detailing and sculpting on the suit are awesome!
The Batman mask design (more of a helmet) is unique with the mechanical sight on the left eye. The steam pipe (?) on both shoulders going all the way back to the pulley (?) mechanism on the cape. Its seems the pipe and pulley are connected, but they are not.
The wings / cape are made out of 5 layers, which can articulated individually. The articulation of this figure overall is ok. The bulky armor limited some of the articulation. The weight issue is also a concern on this figure. Fortunately, the wings can act as a 3rd leg for the figure to help it stands.
The grappling gun is the only weapon it has. It is more like a crossbow. It comes with a standard base which assembling is require. But the plastic stand is pretty much useless on this figure.
This figure has a fantasy x mechanical design look which I really like. The detailing, sculpting, and painting are excellent. But the price point is pretty steep, running about USD180 - USD200. Other than that, I really recommended this figure for Batman fans!!
