I think the pic mostly speaks for itself. I&#8217;m buying that. <\/p>\n<p>When it first was announed today, I went through three stages :<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>1st Thought: OMG! THIS IS TOTALLY AWESOME!?!<\/li>\n<li>2nd Thought: Y&#8217;know I dig it, but I kinda hope the cowl fits better on the final version.<\/li>\n<li>3rd Thought: We finally get this close to a proper 1:12 Scale Batman&#8230; and it&#8217;s frikkin&#8217; purple?!<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The third thought there does not in anyway take away from the figure. I stand by my &#8220;this is totally awesome&#8221; comment. My Keaton love is well known around these parts. I have bought him in various colors from Kenner already. I love what NECA is doing with the NES figures (I didn&#8217;t buy the horror guys, cause I don&#8217;t care about horror guys, but I loveo Robocop and the Preadtor). I have a love hate relationship with the old Batman NES game. Heck, I&#8217;ve had that 8-bit ditty stuck in my head all day since this was announced. I&#8217;m so in.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m in for two, in fact, because while NECA seems to be strangely able to dip down into 7&#8243; with their wonderful Batman figure (I already have his quarter-scale big brother), they appear to only be able to do so in purple. Multiple comments from NECA on Twitter indicate that we&#8217;ll need to be cutting out some black pleather capes and stocking up on black paint if we&#8217;d like to see this figure in traditional colors. I imagine there is a very narrow legality that allows them to even do this purple guy. <\/p>\n<p>I plan on buying two, one to keep in purple glory and one to try and repaint into traditional colors. Awesome!<\/p>\n<p><center><a href=\"newsimages\/2014\/neca\/purbatsboxLG.jpg\" target=\"_Blank\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"newsimages\/2014\/neca\/purbatsboxTN.jpg\"><\/a><\/center><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.itsalltrue.net\/?p=28832\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"newsimages\/2014\/neca\/purbats01t.png\"><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":13,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"ngg_post_thumbnail":0,"_themeisle_gutenberg_block_has_review":false,"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_is_tweetstorm":false,"jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_options":[]},"categories":[47],"tags":[70,128,2014],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/pObc6-7v2","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack-related-posts":[{"id":29651,"url":"http:\/\/www.itsalltrue.net\/?p=29651","url_meta":{"origin":28832,"position":0},"title":"Batman Breaks The Internet: NECA&#8217;s 7&#8243; 1989 Batman (Back in Black)","date":"November 20, 2014","format":false,"excerpt":"","rel":"","context":"In &quot;DCClassics.Com&quot;","img":{"alt_text":"","src":"","width":0,"height":0},"classes":[]},{"id":31717,"url":"http:\/\/www.itsalltrue.net\/?p=31717","url_meta":{"origin":28832,"position":1},"title":"NECA Batman  25th Anniversary Blu-Ray Batman Review","date":"August 24, 2015","format":false,"excerpt":"","rel":"","context":"In &quot;DCClassics.Com&quot;","img":{"alt_text":"","src":"","width":0,"height":0},"classes":[]},{"id":32270,"url":"http:\/\/www.itsalltrue.net\/?p=32270","url_meta":{"origin":28832,"position":2},"title":"NECA Superman  7&#8243; Christopher Reeve Review","date":"November 16, 2015","format":false,"excerpt":"","rel":"","context":"In &quot;DCClassics.Com&quot;","img":{"alt_text":"","src":"","width":0,"height":0},"classes":[]},{"id":32151,"url":"http:\/\/www.itsalltrue.net\/?p=32151","url_meta":{"origin":28832,"position":3},"title":"NECA Classic  TV Series 7&#8243; Adam West Batman Review","date":"October 29, 2015","format":false,"excerpt":"","rel":"","context":"In &quot;DCClassics.Com&quot;","img":{"alt_text":"","src":"","width":0,"height":0},"classes":[]},{"id":28195,"url":"http:\/\/www.itsalltrue.net\/?p=28195","url_meta":{"origin":28832,"position":4},"title":"DC Comics Multiverse 4&#8243; 1989 Batman Review","date":"June 9, 2014","format":false,"excerpt":"","rel":"","context":"In &quot;DCClassics.Com&quot;","img":{"alt_text":"","src":"","width":0,"height":0},"classes":[]},{"id":24147,"url":"http:\/\/www.itsalltrue.net\/?p=24147","url_meta":{"origin":28832,"position":5},"title":"SDCC Armchair Coverage: NECA Preview Night","date":"July 18, 2013","format":false,"excerpt":"","rel":"","context":"In &quot;Event Coverage&quot;","img":{"alt_text":"","src":"","width":0,"height":0},"classes":[]}],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.itsalltrue.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/28832"}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.itsalltrue.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.itsalltrue.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.itsalltrue.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/13"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.itsalltrue.net\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=28832"}],"version-history":[{"count":4,"href":"http:\/\/www.itsalltrue.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/28832\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":28836,"href":"http:\/\/www.itsalltrue.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/28832\/revisions\/28836"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.itsalltrue.net\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=28832"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.itsalltrue.net\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=28832"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.itsalltrue.net\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=28832"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
