Amazing!! Your custom is the best 1989 batman custom I ever seen. It’s easy to ignore the part can‘t see but you didn’t 👍 every parts of your custom is perfect and the matt finish on the body is spot on. Look so sick! Nice job!! I think you could make 1992 batman as well using the flash Berry’s variant body and some kitbashing. I love too see more your custom 👍👍😀
Thank you for the comments, much appreciated! I still want to add a pleather cape to these to complete the look. As far as the '92 Batman using the Flash from Barry II, I've seen others do it but the body is too thin IMO and throws it off. I'm sure at some point McFarlane will release a wave from the Batman Returns movie. Thanks for watching!
@@erickshobbiesncustoms Appreciate the assist brotha, I been keeping an eye on this vid since you dropped it. Finally got around to grabbing one of those 89 sets from amazon and now its time to put the pedal to the metal... Now the challenge is finding the mezco heads for a good price, on ebay guys want $60 per head LOL.
@@eva7323 You're better off buying the whole thing for around $120-140. Even if the Mezco figure sucks you have 4 heads to play with, plus the accessories and a stand. Eventually McFarlane is gonna release a solo 89 Batman figure that you can use the other heads on. Good luck with your custom!
I definitely believe we are getting a wave for the 89 movie, Todd would be dumb not to do so, especially if we get the Nicholson Joker. However don't expect a change with the headsculpt, just a rubber cape instead. Thanks for watching!
It’s very nice to see everyone now do this I started to make this custom with my Dad 9 months ago We never knew it would be one of the most views and custom on our channel
The mezco definitely proved to be the go-to for making the McFarlane 89 Batman reach its potential. I can't say I saw your video or someone sharing your video but definitely saw this custom pop up a few times on my timelines which made the decision to find the mezco worth it. Thanks for watching!
@@erickshobbiesncustoms yes , your welcome my dad has help so many people do this On instagram as well we are so proud to see others make what we stated 💪🔥it’s definitely awesome to see yet sadly some have not giving the credit to other creators but that’s life man
I used the same Bobby pin trick on my figuarts 89 Batman! for my 3 jokers black suit I used rit dye synthetic jet black to dye the figure and for the first few months after it was super black but once it started to fade as figure dying does it turned kinda bronze but still almost black so having dyed the figure first I went ahead and painted the figure with actual black paint and the only part I swapped was the head for the black hush head!
How long did the dye last? I've contemplated it a few times but wasn't 100% sure about the duration since most videos I've seen about the process they never give a follow up about the dye wearing off. I guess it depends on the plastic it's applied to. Thanks for watching!
@@erickshobbiesncustoms about a year before I noticed it wasn't as black but it was still pretty black after 2 years I only recently painted the whole thing just to make sure it didn't fade any more if but it didn't change much if at all in the past year, dying it actually worked out perfectly because you don't have to paint the joints and worry about paint rub anywhere really!
The criticism is warranted IMO considering if you look at some other movie figures in the Multiverse line the sculpts look almost spot on to the actors. The Kilmer and Clooney headsculpts were on the money even with the articulated necks. Also, just because the figure came with a vehicle it shouldn't be a compromise. Its not the worst thing ever, but, even if it was, it shouldn't be an excuse. Thanks for watching!
Hey thanks for watching! I haven't tried fitting the Mezco hands on the McFarlane but I don't think they will fit or look good since the Mezco is a true 1:12 scale while McFarlane's are 7"+.
how did you saw down the neck, im fixing to start one of these and im looking to see how to do it, im probably gonna glue mine on though just any tips would be helpful
Hey thanks for watching! Which figure are you specifically talking about? Before I released this video I did a work in progress where i explain how I modded them.

Do you have a link to the magnet you used? Currently prepping for the same project and seeing all kinds of results for the connector, even screws lol
I got mine at a local craft store. They're 10mm wide x 3mm thick. Hope that helps finding ones for your custom. Thanks for watching!

Anybody know if the Mezco hands are interchangeable with the Mcfarlane wrist pegs?
Very nice work!
Thanks! Much appreciated.
Very nice custom the repaint was smooth as well
Thanks!
Hopefully, McFarlane revisits this Batman figure and gives us one that’s more accurate.

People make it seem that the McFarlane headsculpt is the worst thing ever. For a figure that comes with the Batmobile, it’s pretty darn good.

Likeness is the most important thing to some people. And McFarlane just ain't it for likeness. That's just a fact.
Love the video. Working on doing the same with a McFarlane body and Mezco head. Can you tell me if the Mezco hands fit the 89 McFarlane body? Thanks!

Maybe it’s the diaper?
