The Knightfall and Detective Comics #1000 figures, and lastly the Digital Collection Batman and the new Reborn (Dick Grayson) Batman.
RATING:
What are Baby Huey's scores for the figure?
PAINT JOB 4.5/5 - The paint on the figure is decent. The lines on the mask are very well done.
FIGURE SCULPT 5/5 - The figure looks great, looks how I would want an Adam West Batman figure to look.
POSING 3/5 - The joints are super tight on this guy and trying to get a small move for posing for pictures is a little bit of a pain.
ACCESSORIES: 3/5 - Some rope for the Bat-A-Rang would have been nice or even a Adam West Head would been perfect.
DURABILITY 5/5 - The plastic on the figure is nice and the bendy wire in the cap is also good, I don't feel like anything is going to break or snap.
OVERALL SCORE 4.1/5 - This Batman is a must-have for any Batman fan
RETAIL COST: $22.99
