NECA Batman (1989) 8-inch Michael Keaton Batman figure

The Michael Keaton Batman releases from NECA continue with this reveal of a 1989 Batman in the 8-inch retro styled figure line. Batman includes an articulated body and tailored bat-suit complete with soft goods wired cape. Accessories include extra hands, a batarang, and a grapnel launcher.



The figure is packed into a window box and then features an outer sleeve. Batman joins the other announced figures of Penguin and Catwoman from Batman Returns, and pre-orders are live from the 14th of February 2026.



From the iconic 1989 Tim Burton film that defined Batman for a modern generation, NECA presents this clothed Batman action figure featuring the likeness of Michael Keaton. Cloaked in shadow and driven by vengeance, the Batman strikes fear into the hearts of Gotham City's criminal elite. Once terrified by bats, and psychologically damaged from the murder of his parents, the wealthy Bruce Wayne channels that fear into his alter ego of Batman, donning the cape and cowl to protect the streets of Gotham from low life criminals and eccentric villains alike. As mob bosses like Carl Grissom rule the city with unchecked power, and the madman known only as The Joker spreads chaos like wildfire, Batman is the last line of defense between Gotham and total collapse. Paying homage to vintage toy lines, this Batman figure wears tailored soft goods clothing, including a poseable cape with wire. Accessories include interchangeable hands and iconic Batman gadgets such as his Batarang and grapnel launcher. This 8-inch scale figure comes in window box packaging with slipcover.

About Me : As a child of the '70s and '80s I grew up in a golden age for action figures and in my youth bought and sold myself through collections of Star Wars, G.I. Joe (Action Force), and M.A.S.K. while also dabbling in He-Man, Transformers and Ghostbusters. Roll forward and I am now reliving that Youth with the action figures of today and am a collector and fan of the larger 6-8 inch figures from my favourite movie and TV licenses - including the ones mentioned above, but also the Marvel Cinematic Universe, Doctor Who, and the Aliens. I launched The Mephitsu Archives in 2015 with a view of creating a UK-focused site or these figures where fans can pick up the latest action figure news, read reviews and get information on where to buy their figures and what is currently on store shelves. I hope I am delivering that to you guys...
