DARTHTODD Posted July 11, 2006 Share Posted July 11, 2006 Hi, I'm looking at getting the 1/6 Batman Begins Takara CG figure. It's pretty hard to get these in the US for a decent price. Just wondering if anyone here on the forums that lives in Japan is able/willing to sell me one? Don't know if they're common in Japan or not, thought I'd ask. Any help would be appreciatted, thx.

BoBe-Patt Posted July 12, 2006 Share Posted July 12, 2006 I saw a bunch of these at AX. Not sure if they were Medicom's or CG. I don't even know if medicom even made any batman figures. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roy's Blues Posted July 13, 2006 Share Posted July 13, 2006 I would appreciate that. I'm a big fan of Batman Begins, and this is the only bit of merch I have seen that impressed me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It gives you so much more than what hot toys or medicom are offering. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DARTHTODD Posted July 13, 2006 Author Share Posted July 13, 2006 (edited) Big Bad Toy Store is selling them methinks. 415573[/snapback] Thx for the idea but BBTS along with every other US seller is sold out on their preorders. That's why I was hoping someone on this forum who lives in Japan could get one. I'd pay all the costs of course plus a finder's fee to that person.

ShadowerV2 Posted July 13, 2006 Share Posted July 13, 2006 I think the way things are going your better off just heading to ebay. Safer too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GobotFool Posted July 18, 2006 Share Posted July 18, 2006 (edited) Alright. My Takara Batman arrived, sorry not selling it at this time. But I am going to give a very fast review. The likeness to Christian Bale is a pretty good one and the paint job on the head doesn't suffer from a pasty conplection like many 1/6th headsculpt figures do. (well the head really isn't painted, it's molded in color, while the skin tone is good, because it's not painted it does look a little plasticky. The costume is made compleatly of rubber. It does not appear removable. Those who live in dry environments are going to want to be careful about the rubber drying and cracking. I don't sit around and study batman suits and have every detail memorized but as far as I can see the detail on the suit is pretty good. Sadly the articulation is effected because the suit is molded in one piece and the joints are not very strong on the body so the rubber material restricts it and often pulls the limbs back into a more neutral position. It's a good figure, but I'd wait for the hot toy's batman to come out and read a few reviews on that one before deciding what batman to get.
