No the head is unable to turn. The cowl is actually a solid plastic material which fits on to the neck post, In that respect it's lucky that it has the rolling eyes and  interchangeable mouth pieces to allow some variety to the head.

Keaton couldn't even turn his head while wearing the dang suit.

That was my point.

Got the Batman figure as well--really, really cool.  There is a Batmobile to scale with this figure---$700.0----out of reach, indeed!

Cute (as opposed to the usual slutty when it's not Bruce Timm or someone who GETS it) Harley. Not sure I even have room any more, tho!

Michael Roberts>>  Does anyone with the Bowen Black Queen statue know how she scales with the SA Marvel Girl and 90's Jean Grey statues? I'm on the fence with her. I already have the Sideshow AH! Black Queen, but I might get the Bowen one if she fits in with the other Jeans.

Michael, I have the Bowen Marvel Girl and Black Queen statues.  They are of the same scale and look pretty good next to each other.  I'd like to get an original X-Men Marvel Girl, Phoenix, and Dark Phoenix statue to go with them.  I don't have them on display at the moment to get a picture of them.  It seems that I posted a picture of them together in this thread but have no idea how long ago that has been
+ + + + + +  + + + + + + + + + + + + + + +

I have the Original Marvel Girl pre-ordered, so all I would need are a Bowen Phoenix and Dark Phoenix. I'm hoping they re-do them, because I don't like the previous sculpts (which the X-Factor MG reused.) Plus they are horribly expensive on the secondary market.

And that is why I don't have the Phoenix statues.  I have Dark Phoenix in the smaller scale and the two Phoenix busts.  And you're right about the secondary market.  A vast majority of my collection came from grabbing great deals on eBay.  Not any longer!  The prices have seemingly gone through the roof!

Nice to see "suggestive" instead of "over the top".

Roger Stern used to describe a kind of subliminal element of PLAYBOY's Playmate pictorials as "Oh, are you taking pictures?" There was a conceit to the pictures that the ladies were just going about their daily business, but happened to be in various states of undress. (FRIENDS even made a joke about this, when Ross got a "party joke" published in the magazine, and Monica and Rachel, flipping thru the pages, commented "Remember when you'd go out to the barn, take of your shirt, and straddle a bale of hay?")

It was, perhaps, a silly contrivance, but it played to the "innocence" of the "Girl Next Door" image. A long lost innocence, there and in comics.

Speaking to your wish for a Futura Batmobile, JB, perhaps one day Hot Toys will do an offical 1/6 scale Adam West Batman.

Perhaps -- but I wouldn't want one. The car has a special connection for me, not the show.

I was just thinking if they did that, they might then do the '66 Batmobile.
