Hey, guess what? I just paid for my S.H. Figuarts The Dark Knight Batman! Guess what again. Go ahead, guess. Yup, pictures of Medicom’s MAFEX The Dark Knight Rises Batman just leaked. C’mon!
I have some MAFEX I prefer over S.H. Figuarts but for the most part I go with Bandai. But after Medicom recently solicited an updated Catwoman and Joker along with a brand new Bane I thought “Man, I would like an updated Batman. I have the SHF on pre-order, that’ll do since I don’t care for Bandai’s Joker.”
So of course, this happens. The timing is a bit odd, don’t you think? They’re out to get us…
For reference, here’s MAFEX Batman 1.0 and 2.0:
And the updated 3.0. Like previous updates it looks to sport an all-new sculpt while including the grapnel gun, two rifles, and three faces/heads. And then of course, lots of hands.
MAFEX Batman 3.0 will retail for about $60 and release next year some time. Solicitations haven’t officially went up so expect more pretty pictures very soon.
