Medicom - The Dark Knight Batman and Kubricks

2008 July 25th | Category: Toys

Here are the official photos (finally) for Medicom’s The Dark Knight Batman and Kubricks which I first saw and mentioned about after visiting the Medicom Toy Exhibition 2008 approx. 2 months ago.

For those who remember, cameras were forbidden at the exhibition therefore, instead, I had to describe what I saw. Well, here are the official product photos from Medicom. Judge for yourselves if this is more accurate than Hot Toys attempt.

And bear in mind, Medicom’s prototypes always look waaaaaay better than their final production products. What I saw at the exhibition (a prototype) seems to be identical to the figure in the product shots below. With the release date being March 2009, no doubt the figure shots below is probably the same prototype I saw.

Hot Toys - The Dark Knight Batman UPDATED!
Interestingly, Hot Toys have updated their Dark Knight Batman with a new headscult more closely resembling that of the new Dark Knight suit’s new cowl - namely a narrower mouth opening area. The prototype figure I saw at the International Tokyo Toy Show 2008 had a different headsculpt which was literally identical to their original suit Batman’s cowl. So yeah, it’s good to see Hot Toys making theirs more accurate.
