Just pure 90's Edge. I love it.
If you grew up in the 90's you met energy Blue and Red Superman... as well as
Azrael Batman. He was almost a
clunky parody of the type of characters McFarlane and Liefeld used to draw! Be that as a it may, Azrael Batman is an interesting part of Batman mythos, so I love having this figure!
Well, it
probably wasn't easy, but they brought Jean Paul Valley's Batman into plastic life. He is not overly detailed, but a lot of interesting sculpting was done on the upper part of his body, mainly on the gauntlets and cybernetics. The upper part of his cape is made of a soft-rubber material BUT the wing-parts are made out of a hard plastic. I love the
metallic colors on the upper part of his body. It's hard to explain, but as clunky as he looks... it's also kinda
endearing.
Articulation is about what you'd expect, but for whatever reason he has double-jointed knees. I don't know why they did him like this, but it helps pose him.... and you need the extra mobility, because the hard-plastic wings
will get in the way. He is slightly taller than the Bucky Cap mold.
This is as far as he can raise his arms due to the cowl. Pretty decent, if you ask me.
I owned a few of Knightfall's and Azrael Batman's comics, so I like the guy out of nostalgia alone. That aside, I've been needing a 90's Batman to stand alongside my 90's energy Superman. I might've done the gold parts a bit less dull, but he is a
good representation of Jean Paul's Batman.
