YOU WANNA GET NUTS? LET’S GET NUTS! After Harvey Dent’s crusade against Gotham and Batman, the Caped Crusader has disappeared without a trace. In his place, ordinary citizens have taken to the streets to root out crime. As innocents get hurt, the question on everyone’s mind is the same: Where is Batman? Sam Hamm, screenwriter of the 1989 Batman movie, and Joe Quinones reunite for another tale in Gotham!
Based on Tim Burton’s Academy Award winning film Batman, the Caped Crusader joins the One:12 Collective.
The One:12 Collective Batman – 1989 Edition features an all-new seamless body designed with an internal skeleton armature that is durable yet highly posable. Included are three cowled head portraits – one with movable eyes, achieving a new level of realism for the One:12 Collective.
There’s a lot to like about this figure and a lot to be frustrated by too.
Check it out and then get your own!
