Blizzardfury Posted February 16, 2007 Share Posted February 16, 2007 Is Batman's mask going to be removable? From the pictures, it doesn't look like it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Energy-Man Posted February 16, 2007 Share Posted February 16, 2007 im assuming that his mask is removable with a bruce wayne face underneath. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drgnrbrn316 Posted February 16, 2007 Share Posted February 16, 2007 Yeah, I think most of the masked figures in the DC line work about the same as the J Jonah Jameson mask for Chameleon in the Marvel line. You get one face on top and another underneath. Personally, I preferred the old style that gave the figure a layered look, but to each their own.

neolego Posted February 16, 2007 Share Posted February 16, 2007 Actually, I prefer the new way, for a few reason. First, on the nose issue above, no Minimate has a nose. Seriously, I like the fact that now Batman shares a more stylized look like all the rest of the Minis. Secondly, and more important, is the fact that is looks TONS better. Honestly, he looks like a bad a. I agree that the layered look is nice for accuracy since he is technically wearing a mask. However, I would make the argument that the C3 minimates looked just dang goofy. The oversized mask cover his mouth a lot of times and it just looked out of place. Here you get a classic, butt kicking face for Batman that looks more comic accurate than anything before it. Lastly, the potential for "under the mask" faces. No longer are we limited to Angry/Mean face Bruce. We have the potential to have a very angry Batman but a very suave Bruce with just the addition of hair. And, on top of that, we'll get multiple Bruce Faces that came be custom fodder for any number of other people. This are only my thoughts. In fact, we haven't even confirmed that there is a face under the mask. In that case I would probably change my tune a little. However, I do believe that the Print on mask is must better and cooler if for the only reason because it's more comic accurate. neo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Energy-Man Posted February 16, 2007 Share Posted February 16, 2007 anyone have pictures??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neolego Posted February 16, 2007 Share Posted February 16, 2007 Sure, here is what I'm talking about. First, these are 2 Batman Figures from the C3 line: Now, these are the new "Printed On Masks" from the DC Series 1: Again, I just think the new Batman looks more like Batman and the C3 figures look more like George Clooney trying to be Batman. But, that's my opinion . neo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reideen1313 Posted February 16, 2007 Share Posted February 16, 2007 Again, I just think the new Batman looks more like Batman and the C3 figures look more like George Clooney trying to be Batman. But, that's my opinion . neo Agreed. The new 'mates are more comic accurate where the C3 stuff was more of a generic/animated look. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drgnrbrn316 Posted February 16, 2007 Share Posted February 16, 2007 Personally, I think the new look just makes them look like they have fat heads. While looking at him from the front, it isn't noticeable, but look at it from an angle and his head looks a good 1/8" wider than the average minimate head. If they could have made it a little more indented like the face plate of Iron Man's helmet, I'd have liked it better. In fact, that would have been the best way to go, as you keep the layered look so the mask doesn't look painted on, plus you get the ability to have alternate faces. But one argument for the old style mask: cutting errors. Remember how Silver Centurion's helmet didn't cover up his head? If the same type error ever hits the painted on face masks, then ol' Brucie's going to have a double chin. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Graham Posted February 16, 2007 Share Posted February 16, 2007 According to these pictures it at least looks like Battle-damaged Batman and Deathstroke get a face underneath. Interestingly, Booster Gold and Blue Beetle seem to have the old-style removable mask because of the clear goggles. Personally, I like both styles, I'll have to wait until I get them until I decide which I prefer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cobra Racer Posted February 16, 2007 Share Posted February 16, 2007 Being newer to the scene, I don't know, but has any MM ever been made with a removable mask, but nothing underneath? I have not run across any in my collection. I would not imagine that they would do that to us. It is cool to think thought that with these new DC MM, we may just get the two faces of Batman. Nobody wants to see Batman smile, he is not supposed to be cute for goodness sakes. But at the same time, we don't necessarily want to see Bruce frowning. There are going to be lots of new DC girls for him to mack on, so he cannot always be frowning. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ivan Posted February 16, 2007 Share Posted February 16, 2007 Being newer to the scene, I don't know, but has any MM ever been made with a removable mask, but nothing underneath? Sauron was faceless. That's true to the character though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TBT! Posted February 16, 2007 Share Posted February 16, 2007 Being newer to the scene, I don't know, but has any MM ever been made with a removable mask, but nothing underneath? I have not run across any in my collection. I would not imagine that they would do that to us. All the Batmen from the C3 line had faces underneath, even those with full masks like stealth and battle armour. Also Batgirl from the miniflyers. Cut faced thing from marvel wave 8 had a full face even though he came with a full mask. One of the benefits of having my collection displayed over my desk is quick reference. EDIT: Oh and DOH.... all the ironmen EDIT2: and the JJJ/Chamelion variant EDIT3: so the answer to the actual question is no LOL, that'll teach me to not read the smallprint EDIT4: actually the Cylons dont have faces under the masks does that count?

Wadalf Posted February 18, 2007 Share Posted February 18, 2007 It would kinda suck if you took off Batmans mask and his face was gone... Just imagine.. Bruce Wayne: WHERE DID I PUT MY FACE!!! Alfred: Sir if your head wasnt screwed on youd lose it.. correction , if your face wasnt screwed on youd lose it. Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha! *Bruce kicks Alfred in the gut* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MINI_MYTE Posted February 18, 2007 Share Posted February 18, 2007 If Batman and Batgirl have the full head cover masks,why doesn't Wlidcat have this? Honestly, it doesn't matter to me. I just wish they'd stick with one style. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blizzardfury Posted February 20, 2007 Author Share Posted February 20, 2007 Thanks everyone. For the masks, I prefer the new ones for Batman but in my opinion Batgirl would have looked better with an old mask. Deathstroke looks cool, though.

Alpheon Posted February 20, 2007 Share Posted February 20, 2007 Let's not forget Harley Quinn. That looks like a mask to me--what about you guys? I assumed she'd have a generic red head underneath. If indeed that is a mask. If it isn't, it's a new head sculpt, which to me is as bad as giving a minimate a nose. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
