NYTF '20: NECA reveals several Batman replicas

[Valor]

I have one on the way ... why not for that price?

Honestly, I've been debating making my own. One detail that I'm curious what we will see is how they handle the "eyebrows" ... the horizontal lines over the sets of vertical lines on each side. On the screen-used rang these lines are engraved. On the SD, and all that ripped him off they were raised. Now, on the early NECA pics they were raised, and in the Toyfair demo videos, they were raised. But recent shots look like maybe they corrected them?

They didn’t.

Also... this sets off my ocd.

They should NOT cross over and touch.

That photo has been available since 1989 and they did no research. Those arms shouldn't hang past the center when folded.

I just realized you titled the new Stacey Props as NECA (white background). My fault.

 

[Nightwing Returns]

Also, make note that Toy Biz actually got the details right way back in 1989 lol

To be fair to Marco they are printed in black resin. So they are more dense and all resin. Definitely not airy like what you're talking about. I have a couple grappling guns made from 3D printed resin (by Valor ) and they are fantastic. Solid and hardly any cleanup.

ok, MEA CULPA. Thanks for the info!
Makes sense coming from Marco.

Valor - I agree, at that price, why not. By 'on the way' do you mean you found a place to order online?

NM - just read they are exclusive at Walmart until March, after which they will be more widely available, such as on Amazon.

Sorry for the out of subject but am I the only one to find the 1st Stacey batarang more accurate ( softer and rounder) than the new one more sharp ( too sharp?).

I thought the same thing. But we really don't know how soft the edges on the original are. We just have old photos and screenshots. But, also, it might just be the photo looking extra sharp because of the glossiness. Here's another shot. I would say it's in between the original Stacey and a very sharp edged one.

You are not. I feel the same way. While his new version is still beautiful I prefer the 1st version. like that it’s sculpted rather then 3D printed. I also like the imperfections. That’s how those props were made and looked for the film. You honestly can’t go wrong with either version. You will 100% be getting the most accurate rang on the market as far as I am concerned.

The Stacey Props one is tempting. I still think the NECA one looks fine for what it is. It is first and foremost a toy and it is 1/10th the cost.

yeah exactly.
Even I fully understand his decision to go for the 3D print option for a easier/quicker/cheaper manufacturing rather than sculpting each batarang, for the owner, the first one is maybe more desirable from a collector's point of view.

It's a bit deceiving in the photos, but the milled in grooves on the fin areas are also all the same width. Just a rounded milling bit run in that grill pattern into the objects flat surface.

Here is a blueprint I made a long time ago when deep in the 89' gadget research madness.

The hot toys 1:6 batarang gets pretty close!

George Evans prop master demonstrating how it folds and opens-

I also love the original sketch design-

And the batarang next to the other gadgets for scale-

 

[Rondesmo]

Much more closer from the Stacey V1 than the V2 IMO.

 

[Nightwing Returns]

Just rattle can the new one with a couple coats and you'll get the softer appearance lol

Checking out his Instagram I like what I see of the new one.

 

[Rondesmo]

The V2 is great indeed.

 

[Smylex]

Absolutely !! V2 is coming to my collection. Anything 89 Batman is always welcomed. Just call me a fan.

I have wanted this "bang" flag gun for so long. I don't think the barrel cycles but the hammer function did, and I don't know how that would've still worked the way it did.
