I finally got my figure today. Ten minutes into trying to move the legs according to the instructions, one of the legs broke. Now it's longer than the other and flops down whenever I try to raise it. This whole experience has been a nightmare - from the ludicrously long preorder time, to the incorrect information and lack of communication about "failed" payment, to getting the figure in hand and experiencing its atrocious quality. I'm returning my figure and then saving my money for the inevitable Mafex attempt at Batman 1989.

Is the figure that bad?
I'm sure reviews will be out in a week or 2. And if you want a high end version of bat keaton I'm sure mafex will make an awesome one. I'm settling for mcfarlanes version as a stand in then waiting for a mafex or sh figurarts version.

What a mess....3 years for a horrible figure that might disintegrate unless it has white powder on it but you can wipe it off with water lol...smh...gotta hand it to "MESSco" for making the figure go down in history as the most infamous figure for having the longest production time with the most disappointing results!
Mezco has issued guidance in preventing damage to their One:12 Collective 89 Michael Keaton Batman figure in regards to powder coating and armiture and articulation. See the statement below.

Not sure if I will ever purchase anything from mezco again. This whole pre order process, ect. has been a miserable experience!
Their products are frequently great, but ordering direct from them is not ideal. Whenever possible, it's best to order from BBTS or EE. If it's a Mezco exclusive, in that case, people are going to have to ask themselves how badly they want it, because the delays and cs situation don't seem like anything that will ever get better.

If they would ship faster I'd be able to answer that question. I'm hoping it's like my MAFEX Harley Quinn where you can move both individually.

As for the eyes......they're movable so really shouldn't be an issue. If mine isn't what I wanted....I'll hold onto it for a year or so and most likely make my money back.
