So a while ago, I ordered this Batman on a whim when I placed a pre-order at Entertainment Earth. When it showed up, I had received the chase variant which featured a metallic paint on the parts of the costume that are normally grey. I wasn't digging that, so I sent it back for a replacement, and fortunately this time received the normal version. I'm not really into the whole super-deformed vinyl toy thing (I do have a couple Mighty Muggs) for the most part, but this is Batman, and it's totally cute so I decided to go for it. Since this is a vinyl figure and not an action figure, there's almost no articulation at all. The head swivels back and forth a little, but that is it. It's about four inches tall, so it won't take up a lot of room on your desk or your shelf or whatever.
I kind of wish I'd ordered the Batgirl too. And the Joker...
Since Mattel is taking forever to release a Batgirl figure, I decided to go with the next cutest option, the Pop! Heroes version. I have the Batman from this line, and I was ordering something from Amazon and needed to add a few bucks for free shipping, so this is what I chose. This isn't a line I'd want to collect a lot of, but as a way to fill the Batgirl shaped hole in my collection, it's pretty cool. It's a pretty simple sculpt, and the head can rotate, providing the only articulation. There are a few spots where the paint is slopped or misapplied, so that is disappointing. It is what it is, so if you like how it looks, then that's the main thing going for it.
