Play Imaginative Super Alloy Batman – the 1/6 Batman You’ve Been Waiting For?

Hot Toys may have the 1/6 scale locked up when it comes to the Nolan-verse Dark Knight, but what about those of us looking for some comics-based Batman in this scale? Enter Play Imaginative, which is offering  just that – a 1/6 scale Batman featuring the New 52 Jim Lee design. The catch? As of now, this is an exclusive that is only available via pre-order and on the show floor of the upcoming Singapore Toy, Games & Comic Convention 2012, running the 1st and 2nd of September.

With 50 points of all the right kinds of articulation, a die-cast metal body, bat-accessories that can be gripped in fully-articulated hands and fingers, and a gargoyle base, this could be the start of something really special for Play Imaginative’s DC license (of which I’d really like more details). At 350 Singapore dollars (roughly $280 USD), this will be tempting.

The new Dark Knight comes to life in the form of the Super Alloy 1/6 Scale Collectable Figure “Batman by Jim Lee”. Based on Jim Lee’s unique vision, this Batman figure features a more armored suit comprising at least 85% die-cast metal alloy, with more than 50 points of articulation.

Featuring a detachable and posable fabric cape, grappling gun and batarang accessories, and a magnetic dragon gargoyle display base, the Super Alloy 1/6 Scale Collectable Figure “Batman by Jim Lee” is a limited edition piece for collectors.

The SPECIAL EDITION “Batman by Jim Lee” figure comes in a limited edition gloss finish and is only available through pre-order and at the Play Imaginative Booth G3 at the Singapore Toy, Games & Comic Convention from 1-2 September 2012.

It will not be available for purchase after STGCC 2012.

  1. This is one of those things I almost just need to own on principle. For now though, I’m going to wait patiently for a 1:12 version, with a proportionally scaled down price, and then jump all hell over it.
