Package Description
Experience the denizens of Gotham City in all their heroic or hideous glory with Movie Masters figures. These highly detailed figures give you an up-close-and-personal look at the unsettling presentation of Scarecrow and the subtleties of Batman’s suit.
Appearance
Scarecrow is a new figure. The overcoat is new, but I’m not entirely sure if the body underneath is new or not. Underneath the coat Scarecrow is wearing a button up white shirt and blue dress pants which are always hidden unless you’re looking underneath the coat. The overcoat has a lot of sculpted in details and paint wash. The light brown helps all the details stand out, and the coat helps give the body a unique shape. The head sculpt is excellent, with many different textures and paint applications. There is even some brown hair sticking out of the back of the mask, but the mask does not come off.
The proportions are good, and there are no joints sticking out. Scarecrow is a little short compared to DCUC figures though, but fits in fine with the Movie Masters line. Stylistically he does not go well with DCUC figures. The appearance of this figure is pretty straight forward and movie accurate. Overall this figure looks good and fairly realistic. It’s obvious just from looking at the figure that a lot of work went into it.
Articulation
The articulation is standard for this line. The elbows can’t bend 90 degrees, but the head has a nice range of motion. He has knee and torso articulation, but it doesn’t do him a lot of good under the overcoat. The range of motion is decent considering he would never be in hand to hand combat.
Poseability
Balance is ok on this figure. Scarecrow doesn’t really do dynamic poses, he looks silly posed like he’s trying to fight. He’s not a good figure for Batman to fight. Scarecrow will mostly just be standing on the shelf with other figures. Stylistically it will be hard for him to go with a DC collection other than the Movie Masters.
Final Judgment: 6
Scarecrow’s strength is all in his appearance. His articulation is virtually useless though because he’s not a fighter. Despite the excellent sculpt, I don’t think I can give a figure that is so disproportionate in its strengths a score of “excellent”, so Scarecrow is going to get a 6.

i heard over a fwoosh that the begins tumbler is still small but the tdk tumbler is bigger and he fits better in that one. no pics yet of him inside but as soon as i get mines from TRU ill post pics.
I didn't know they had a new tumbler. I saw what looked like a mini one for the 3 inch guys but that's it

Hey Pooda seeing as you seem to be the expert here do you think that the smaller Begins Bat would fit into the Tumbler that came out for the last movie?
i dont know? i was sitting here wondering that myself....could be possible seeing that the cape is softer than the DK bats

heres the deal! BB BATS is only smaller slightly. if u have both figs, look at them close. if u could take the armor off( i mean the whole armor, not just the pads) u can see that they would be the same size. my cam sucks so i didnt do an in depth pic
Woah thats cool. Like how its in the new Dark Knight packaging. Thumbs up!

Holy crap you weren't kidding. That sucks I really wanted a Scarecrow in a suit. Well I think it's safe to say Clark has been eating his fruits and veggies
Get a Movie Masters Joker Thug and some paint and do a headswap (and handswap) with him. Based on the pics above, it looks like it might work.
right. that will work! get a goon and do a head swap. th mail hasnt come yet.....but ill get some pics up of the size difference

Thanks for the reviews. The Batman looks way too short for my liking so now I may have to pass on it. He looks tiny next to the movie Iron Man. Scarecrow is a must get for me tho.The Kent body is quite tall, and the Movie Master figs are a bit shorter than DCUC, so my guess is that you'd get a pretty tall Scarecrow after the headswap.
the bb bats looks small, but it isnt(i heard) mine will be here today. as for kent,...yes the size is a big difference
post pics when u get bats. I`m still deciding wether to get it or not, cause it looks tiny in the comparison shots next to IM (and I consider IM tiny!!)
