Some Youtubers already made comparison between this rereleases and the Original ones and they're definitely new scuplts.
Does this mean they are done with the other movie style stuff ? If so Im kinda disappointed as I was really hoping for them to expand that line with more Batmobile batbikes etc

It would have been better to update the version released by Kenner, making the real clothes used in the film and a better head for Batman, or, what I really wanted, for them to release a normal 4-inch version of this film, like they did with Keaton's Batman and Bane. It would have been really cool to have all the Batmans from the movies in the same size.Note: The choice of Bane as the only villain in this 85th anniversary Batman collection was terrible. Besides the fact that there was already a Bane released by Mattel at the time of the film in 4-inch size, they could have made the Penguin from Return, the Joker from '89, the Scarecrow from Begins, etc. Or even release more characters.Note 2:I made a simulation in photoshop of how Batman's head could have been made.
I know, it looks that someone literally squished Batman's head to much. Worst part is I don't think the original figure looked that bad. And once again, the accesories.
Also, the OG figures came with a lot of accesories this new releases lack of.

I really respect Spin Masters for this, they mostly have the "kids" part of the dc license, but this proves they are really trying to do something for old school collectors, because I really can't see this appealing to new kids generation. It's really interesting how they tried to stay true to the original toy and packaging designs with some adjustments.
Riddler from that movie line was among my first action figures, and for that time his figure had great amount of detail and quality about it, which amazed me and even my parents and grandparents, especially when you live in post soviet space, so I might be a bit biased towards the line due to nostalgia. Price are also incredibly competitive, You get whole line for 56 dollars which is pretty great value and if line goes on sale this gonna be practically a steal.

I hadn't thought of that. Sadly that makes good sense. Which means my dreams of a first appearance noghtwing in that line are doomed
Are they even using the same molds?
