Still a dope figure and even better with the slight discount frrom BBTS. Probably a nice figure to have as a stand alone or as part of a multi-scale Batman collection, opera mouth and all! Speaking of didn't he sing as part of a JT episode ?? ? Am I blue, am I blue ?

I just wish they'd go back and release their DCEU movie line figures, but that's probably not gonna happen at this point.
To me looks like the face of the SHF Ninja Batman. However I agree 100% that a more angry or agressive expression would be muc better. They could have just used the swapable faces instead of sculpting 3 heads

As for the cost, I see a lot of those same people who are complaining about the price turn around and spend around that same money for something like a 6" One:12 collectible figure, so I would say there is def a market for higher costing action figures.
As for being a different scale, every scale had to start with something, and when companies started moving from 4" to 6" I am sure many people said similar things like why the different scale? Larger scales allow more detail to be incorporated into the product.
I'm not suggesting these line are going to be for everyone, but I can see why companies might be trying to tap into something new.
I understand your point, but the scale thing is improtant o me. I could possibly overlook this if they chose a more classic look for Batman. To me the One 12 from Mezco are worth much more since msot of them have a ton of accessories and can easily be put in the display. I would enver trade the new PX Sovereign Knight for this one.
Their intention might have been good but the execuution, not so much. But like you said, not for everyone.

So, I have no idea what DC Collectibles is thinking and really neither do they.

This isn't what I would call a regular action figure line to begin with where they would likely churn one out on a regular basis, but I would say the question of whether they do more or not will strictly hinge on how well each one sells. If this one sells well I'm sure they will do another, an so on. If not this could versy well be a one and done thing. Since they haven't announced any additional figures at this time its not like there is something to cancel.
I dunno about that nose thing, which does make sense for Batman but it looks weird, however, I think fully masked head is far superior and only adds to uniqueness of thefigure.
Beautiful figure, but I'm not sure where it would fit in at. It's too big for my 6inch figures and too short for my Play Arts Kai.
This is so close to perfection. I just wish it was shorter.
