Rovanic Studios expands Batman portfolio

[Lou Szabo]

Rovanic Studios has built the entire Dark Knight Returns figure line in various stages of battle, including Joker and Superman

But here are some newer figures they’ve built for customers

They have a more slender body style as well.

Size comparison with McFarlane

These are great looking figures overall. I'm guessing they're not licensed based on what you said about custom builds for individual customers?

[Lou Szabo]

My guess is they are not licensed. He’s not cheap either, but if you have the dough and a reference he’ll make it. As far as quality, I’ll let you know when it arrives.

Are the head sculpts being scanned in from existing figures? They look virtually identical to me.

[Lou Szabo]

No idea. I don’t even know what country he’s from….

[Ben Bentley]

Looking forward to seeing yours when it arrives, Lou! If they read half as good in person as they seem to photograph I’m sure you’re going to be thrilled.

[Lou Szabo]

I added a Wayne head as shown above. I would like a 66 Batman Chest piece but he won’t do it. That might be a fun variant. Two week delay for the extra head.

His latest

[BiffPow]

Just me, but none of these figures hold any appeal to me. The blue and gray that says “Night Lord” looks like he’s constipated and pushing hard to “evacuate.” The black and gray one that says “Long live the Bat” looks like he finished successfully, but doesn’t relish the “after-smell.”

The best of the lot is Bruce Wayne, but he looks like he is suppressing a belch after eating bologna and crackers and washing it down with a Coke.

I just don’t see a “wealthy playboy” under that mask, and, if Batman really looked like that, everyone would be able to immediately recognize the disfigured, grotesque face on a bloated, musclebound Bruce Wayne as Batman.

Picture him at 60 years old. Your descriptions fit many of us LOL
