Review: Rainbow Batman and Zebra Batman

Heyo, today I've got Zebra Batmen x2 and Rainbow Batman x2. By different manufacturers. Let's compare them.

Let's start from Zebra.

One is from Decool, it started to be sold separately some time ago, I've bought it for 1.8$ from Aliexpress. ID is D004 (which also means Decool has started new minifigures numeration). But it's certainly Decool considering leg joints.

The other one is from DLP9042 set, I've bought a set of 8 minifigures, so 1 minifig price was about 0.90$




Decool minifigures come in transparent packet, DLP has black warning notes on packet. Decool Zebra Batman has glow-in-the-dark head, while DLP has just white head.



Printing looks alike, but in fact it is different in details. Compare side views.


Capes are also different both in prints and, though material is quite similar.


Both have printed arms and leg sides.

So there's not much difference between these two, I think Decool one is more interesting because of glowing head, though it costs more as well.


And here are Rainbow Batmen. I would say they are completely different in terms of cowls, capes, colors and even batarangs. DLP was purchased in set DLP9042, about 0.90$ per minifigure, Decool was sold separately as KF907, but KF is not a brand, real code should be D001, because this minifigure is Decool obviously (leg joint confirms that). Price was 1.62$ 


Ironically Decool uses the cowl DLP usually uses, while DLP used "standard" Batman cowl.


I would say DLP cowl shape allowed more interesting printing decisions.


DLP colors look more vivid and bright. Cape as well.


Capes material is almost identical, though DLP one is little better.


There are printing issues, because of many colors used paint is smudged, press the image to zoom it.

Here I would pick DLP, because of better design, colors and lower price.

P.s. sorry for weird angle photos, I'll try to fix it next time.
