Managed to get my grubby mitts on a press pack for the Batman TV show, including bios for the actors, plot summaries for each episode along with that episode's cast and whatnot - so some interesting reading material for when I get a few hours (it's about an inch thick!)
The Alfred Pennyworth has an "exclusive" sticker on the bottom but I can't what it's exclusive to. Sorry if this has been posted before but this is my first time back in a long while.
Coming back from Heroes Con (always a great time) in North Carolina grabbed this Mexican Batman figure-- I was really impressed with the paint job on this.

I finally sprang for the 19" NECA Batman Figure, A week later I purchased the 17" Robin Figure.
They BOTH look much better in person than in ANY photos that I have seen of them.
They are a AWESOME set !!
P.S.
The only complaint is that they need stands, which they DO NOT come with,
So I painted my own stands and custom printed Batman & Robin stickers for them.

The Neca Figures are underappreciated-- for the money I think they're a better value than the Hot Toys. Certainly have more impact with their size. Don't let the ridiculous waist hinge keep you from the Batman, even though it's not needed it's also not that noticeable in person.
Andy, I respect your opinion very, very much. But I have to disagree with your opinion of the Hot Toys figures. Having seen the NECA Batman figure and it's GLARING flaw of the man-boobs/chest articulation point, I had to pass on it, despite the price being way more affordable than the Hot Toys. I just don't feel that I would 've been happy with the NECA, so I bought the HT. Knowing that they will be centerpieces in my showcase, and not played with, I couldn't see spending that money for something I wasn't 100% happy with.....but that's just me. To each, his own, right?

Yep, to each their own. I own both and enjoy the NECA more overall.
