DC Icons is winding down, slow fading out as we wait for DC Essentials to kick off next year. Part of these (most likely) final waves are re-releases of Rebirth Batman and Superman which originally dropped in the 7 pack earlier in the year. Last month we got Rebirth Damian and Jon Kent, the Super Sons, so getting fans their dads in single packs was a good move. Batman gets beefed up this go around, much taller and bulkier than the first DC Icons Batman was. He stands toe to toe with S.H. Figuarts style Batmen, putting him closer to a “small 6 inch” scale. All in all it’s a sharp piece, and can easily slide into a Bat-shelf without looking out of place. Let’s take a closer look after the break courtesy of Entertainment Earth!

Overall Thoughts
A nice piece head to toe. Icons overall have some issues, but these later figures were addressing things. They got taller, so that’s a plus. Articulation is there, but still limited in actual range. The long legs with weak knees can make straight up stances a pain, but it’s doable with some effort. Upper body joints are tight, so torso rotation and shoulder movement need pressure and care. If your main goal is to give him a power stance on a shelf though, he’s great. Sharp sculpt and well applied paint. The cape is one of the best molded ones in a while, it rests on his shoulders and wraps down well. Gets that resting look while still allowing arm movement. He does pair perfectly with the Icons Rebirth Damian Wayne Robin, and they are now chilling on the shelf together here. Bottom line, Batfans won’t be disappointed, but frugal collectors should wait for Essentials next year.

DC Icons Rebirth Batman Photo Review - The Toyark - News






I love everything about this photo shoot.
This photo shoot is a work of fucking art. Tony, you have raised the stakes. Nice job,

Joe, you're always great, but the heat is on now! You better come up with something special for your next photo shoot just in case.
I'm somewhere between in awe and speechless. I joke a lot, but this is just plain amazing. Wish I had enough time and talent to even come near this level. And that goes for both Tony and Joe.
Wow. Just wow.
The snowfall stuff was my first time, just trying it out. And it was a MESS. Looked like Tony Montana's weekend retreat in here for 2 days. Just ran full clean up today.
I will do it again, and some other similar style stuff for other weather, but it wont be an every day thing, every shoot thing. Takes a ton of time to do, and edit, and clean up. So have to save it for special occasions. Or just produce 3 shots a week lol.
I think that Batman and Robin fire escape shot is gonna be our Christmas cards this year too hehe.
Great shots! Still hate that Batman belt though, looks like it'd stab him in the stomach every time he bends at the waist haha
No accessories with him?
damn, tony. this is your best photos ever. love the snow scenes, perfection. i really like this batman, it even looks better than the other 3 batmans. the only thing i dont like is the belt, looks too minimal. good head sculpt. i even like the boots, looks like motorcycle boots. Tony inspires me to get a good camera instead of using my REALLY horrible phone camera lol
What did you use for the snow? The shots are amazing.
hey tony, what camera do you use? im thinking about buying a Canon.
A shame that more work went into these photos than DCC put into the toy.
^^^ thanks for the info
probably the best toy shoot I've ever seen.
you guys are amazing. It's why I keep coming back. thanks for all the hard work.
Damn, that snowy thumbnail pic is outrageous. Incredible job, man.
Outstanding photo shoot! The sculpt looks like he's doing Christian Bale's weird "I can't breathe in this mask" duckface, so that's kind of an accessory.
I just realized that your right forearm is actually a left forearm.
Would it be possible to just take it off and turn it around?
Damn. Forgot about those.
