This figure is significantly larger than the Hot Toys Batman. The sculpting of the cowl, boots and gloves, as well as the utility belt, and the jumpsuit, cape and shorts are all very well done. Can’t figure out its origin. Anyone on here make this figure or know who did? Whoever it is has a pretty deft hand at making 1966 Batman costumes. It appears to be entirely homemade, but quite professional in results.

Sorry, I didn’t really take time to pull up his shorts or stage it well.

That is the Ashton Drake Galleries Batman, it's closer to 1:5th scale, so between the Hot Toys and NECA Adam figures.

I didn't collect these when they came out as I had seen what the production version of their Batman looked like, but that being said, a friend recently gifted me the Cesar figure from this line which is actually way nicer in person than in the marketing images.

Ahhhh! I DO recall seeing something about those! Thanks, Ben. I think they also did some Munsters figures. Totally forgot about it.

The Joker figure is VERY nice, indeed.
