For anyone who likes toys but doesn't follow Greg's shit:
The figure is Microman Batman, specifically the one from
http://www.microforever.com/2004Batman&Batgirl.htmModern Microman figures, especially the transparent plastic ones, had integrity issues. The Catwoman I got from the same year came with a busted shoulder new in her box, so the comment about 'inferior plastic' is laughable at best.
The articulation of a Microman is one to strive for, but it must be kept in mind the limitations of the materials, or else we end up with expensive figures that shatter upon even simple reposing.
Just because Greg is a shitter, do not let him discourage you from enjoying your toys.
