![]() Robin also sports a cloth cape and costume, which is made of a more solid fabric so it doesn’t look like thermal underwear. In some ways she’s even superior to Batman, but we’ll get to that. The Carrie Kelley Robin may be small, but her figure packs a punch. If anything, the base is cool to use more for the sweet comic art and lettering work than anything. The fabric costume is surprisingly durable too, so I don’t think there would be much risk of wearing it out or overextending it around the joints.ĭespite coming with a base and posing arm, Batman stands up on his own pretty well. The different joints move easily enough while still holding in place, so you don’t have arms or legs just flopping around. Regardless, once you get them on there, you can get some pretty cool poses and action shots. ![]() That, and the interchangeable mouths were almost too easy to remove, so I found myself accidentally knocking part of Batman’s face off when fighting with the hands on more than one occasion. Especially the hands with the three molded Batarangs in between each finger, since there isn’t a good way to grab those for stability. Even with twisting and applying different amounts of pressure, it still took me upwards of ten minutes to get them changed out. The socket in each hand is so snug, though, that it’s extremely difficult to get a new set of hands-on there. They’re attached to a rotatable ball joint in the wrist that, to be fair, is sturdy and has a good range of motion. The blue areas of the costume are made from durable rubber or hard plastic, and there’s some nice wear to the cork in particular that really evokes Miller and Janson’s art.Īs cool as some of the accessories are– and they are pretty cool– the hands were a nightmare to swap out. I’m a yellow-oval guy, so seeing that symbol on Batman’s chest is always a welcome sight, even if it’s a tad big here. While the texture of the fabric costume isn’t what I was expecting– the gray bodysuit is a pretty wide weave– the colors are nice with that rich blue of the cape, cowl, trunks, boots, and gloves. Per the Beast Kingdom site, he stands 20 centimeters in height and has 20 points of articulation, and he’s outfitted with a real cloth costume and cape, the latter of which has a bendable wire along the edges for posing. His main head also has a light-up feature where the eyes will glow, though I wasn’t able to track down enough batteries to test this myself. The titular Dark Knight comes with a number of accessories, including five pairs of swappable hands, three individual Batarangs, two alternate mouths for the main head, and a “battle damaged” head that also has two additional mouths.
