After waiting decades for movie-accurate Batman Returns figures, Todd finally gave us some.

Now NECA Is giving us more.

What do you all think? Are going to buy a whole new set of Burton figures, this time from NECA?

I don't know. The stuff I got from Todd is only a few months old. They have their flaws and the NECA stuff looks OK, I don't know if it will be better by leaps and bounds. I imagine the cloth goods are going to limit the articulation pretty significantly. I'm undecided on these.

 
I doubt I'll get these, but they look decent. The corset on Catwoman is a bit bulky, but otherwise it's a nice figure. Batman's cowl also looks a little too big for his face.
 
Mentioned over in the NECA thread, but I kinda dig them. I probably do like the McFarlane figures a bit more overall, but they're a bit lacking in some areas, like Catwoman's claws, and no shredded mask for her. I think it'll ultimately depend on how they look in person- I'm not the biggest fan of the retro cloth figures, but that's mostly because a lot of them end up still kinda having that "doll" look. But these, being a bit more elaborate and costume-y (and, in Penguin's case, more unique proportions), they may end up looking pretty good in person.

I agree Catwoman's corset is a bit bulky, but it's been over 30 years, I can't expect her not to gain a little weight, and you won't find me body-shaming!

Depending on how they turn out, I wouldn't mind a couple other Batman retro cloth figures. I'd mentioned Ledger Joker as something I think would be an easy sell. I don't expect them to go beyond any figures they put out before- Ledger Joker, Bale Batman, Affleck Batman, Arkham Knight Batman, etc., but I'll consider each as they come.
