From the "it's about time" department, comes one of the latest from the Batman Unlimited line by Mattel: Batman from Frank Miller's The Dark Knight Returns.
I'm pretty sure that we've had figurines and a few statues in the past, but never an actual decently articulated figure of Miller's Batman before.
My biggest concern was how well they'd capture the overall look of Frank Miller's heavily stylized Batman. Ultimately I think that Mattel did an excellent job.
The extra-stocky Dark Knight has all of the articulation and play value that we've come to expect from a 7-inch Mattel figure, plus he's built and painted nicely as well.
I'd genuinely love to see more figures from The Dark Knight Returns, perhaps Robin or maybe a one armed Oliver Queen, though what I'd really like is a two-pack with Superman and Batman in his battle suit. That would be cool, but even if all we get is this one Batman figure, then I'm happy as well because it's pretty great.
