Batman has been a tidy sum of absurd matter to Square - Enix ’s playing period Arts Kai toy line — cowboy , steampunk internet febrility pipe dream , unholy draconic Final Fantasy abomination , and yes , sometimes just plain old Batman . This former figure is a small less unpatterned and a small more joyously screwball : Samurai Batman is finally a thingonce more .
Bushido Batman is the latest 11 - inch grandiloquent figure in Square - Enix ’s “ Timeless ” collection which re - imagines Batman in various time periods . Like , you know , the H.R. Giger - inspired Samurai Age , a totally existent affair .
Obviously , this one is a call back to the old sidereal day of feudal Japan — which has been a democratic source of East - meets - West mashups in miniature recently — with Batman get some absurdly spiky samurai armour to replace his usual supersuit . As well as being a figure with enough abrupt edges to take someone ’s heart out , Bushido Bats get along with two steel ( and sheathes to put them in ) , a grappling draw , and multiple hands with which to impersonate him poke the ever - lie with crap out of hoi polloi .
Aside from the hilariously angular ness , this is a surprisingly restrained submission in Play Arts Kai ’s usually more and more - absurd alt - takes on pop culture fiber . Honestly , it work for it , straddling the right line between goofy and too over - the - top that it makes for a coolheaded looking figure .
Less nerveless is the price : turns out there ’s both a Batman tax and a Samurai taxation . Bushido Batman will be out in June in Japan , where it will be a whopping 19,800 yen … around $ 175 . Considering these are unremarkably about $ 100 , that ’s where the ridiculousness comes in .
