![]() In the current and classic DC continuity, Batman had a kind of pieced together costume at first, including purple gloves. The standard edition of this figure comes in black and grey, which is also a departure. Also, and I know this is nitpicking, but I would have loved to have seen the yellow oval behind the Bat-symbol. Overall, everything works just fine, and looks great, but the “tech” look that Mezco has given the suit is a little put-offish at first if you’re a long time fan. All of this gives Ascending Knight a unique look, while still holding onto the iconic “Batman” form-factor. ![]() The detailing on the bodysuit itself has a sort of rough look to it too, and doesn’t look as featureless as it typically does. The “ears” on the cowl are longer than you might be used to, and the fins on the gauntlets are shorter. As such, there are elements here that aren’t seen typically. And that means it’s supposed to be Bruce’s first run an a fully functional Bat-suit. The costume on this version of Batmen is meant to be “early”. Not that there aren’t things I’d have done differently mind you, but the Ascendant Knight is an absolutely phenomenal addition to the One:12 Collective. It’s not over-done, it’s not lacking in any way as a Batman fan, I’ll say it’s almost perfect. I’m a pretty big Batman fan, and the look of the modern Bat that Mezco has going clicked for me. But of course, there will be one, and it doesn’t seem like it’ll be the Batman Beyond figure that’s also on the way.īefore receiving this figure, I was looking much more forward to Sovereign. After that… well actually the third hasn’t been named yet. They’re not mincing words with what they want to do here either.Īscending Knight is the first (rookie Batman), which will be followed by Sovereign Knight (current Batman). The first of its kind in the action figure realm as far as I can remember. Mezco is calling this trilogy a trilogy for a good reason – it is one. They’re just the next one in the line.īut this is different. If you have a series of Batman figures for example, no one thinks of the successive ones as sequels. But toys? That train of thought isn’t really a part of that industry. ![]() Books, movies, video games, sure all of those are fitting forms of media to receive sequels. The Ascending Knight has arrived.Īs far as action figures go, the idea of a trilogy of them is pretty unique. I'll still more than likely get it to support the line and make sure they get to Ivy.Batman begins his journey to being the hero that the DC Universe deserves in this first of three figures from Mezco Toyz. I also personally am not a fan of the finish - I'd have preferred more color, like with Nightmare's Ex base. The flower part of the Ex base is neat, but I don't know what the center is supposed to be. The eyes aren't quite as Asian as they should be either. ![]() Female portraits are also very hard to get right, plus the hair (mostly the ponytail) looks a bit too clumpy and unnatural. Soul Calibur VI 6 Talim Collectible Figurine 3.5' Bandai Namco BRAND NEW SEALED. Yeah - the selection of pics of her face and how the hair obscures much of her face are probably parts of what make me a bit skeptical. Talim 3.5' Collectible Figurine from Soul Calibur 6 and Bandai Namco GamesItem is brand new and sealed in original packaging.Free Shipping. It would actually make me consider going with the regular base with this one. Just not sure what the base is supposed to be. I can understand they wanted something to go flush with the angled supporting foot. Some of the pictures on the site are either too far or have weird lighting to see face detail very well, and/or the angle causes the face to be obscured. Fans who pre-order the game from Best Buy will receive the Talim mini-figurine as a bonus: Talim 3. I wouldn't mind getting a better look/more angles/pictures of the face though.
