So after getting my two BATs in, and giving them a hot dip to free up the articulation, there's a lot of stuff going around that I didn't notice with mine (both numbered 22671). They're not "made from a differnt plastic" as others claim. They feel just like my regular BATs (all eight of them). Out of the box some of the articulation was stiff, especially the shoulders and butterfly joints, and I had a little trouble getting the hips seated and the drop-gear aligned, but after the hot dip everything loosened up like butter. The hands are loose in the backpacks because of their slightly smaller pegs, which isn't necessarily concerning (unless you're turning it upside down). But what is, and my only real concern, is that using an attachment other than the hand, might stretch out the peg hole and make the hand loose when swapping it back in. As far as the tampo goes, for the most part it's a non-issue. On one of the heads they missed the mark, but unless I'm looking at it in a MACRO JPG, at 4x the scale, it's not really that bothersome.

Ha! No complaints about hasbro customer service...Got my replacement for the Crimson bat quickly....Crocmaster! Which would be great but I have one already.And I still don't have a nicely painted bat. Maybe I can flip it for something.
