Fools Paradise – I Won’t Be a Hero, Tim

IMG_6894 copy

Fools Paradise is now  taking pre-orders for their latest figure featuring a creatively quirky take on the Caped Crusader.  Rather than merely an homage to the superhero,  ‘I Won’t Be a Hero, Tim’ offers a humorous and offbeat critique on what many saw as the culprit behind the demise of the early Batman films—director Tim Burton.  The PVC + Vinyl piece features the weary hero at the mercy of the director who is busy transforming the character according to his own perhaps questionable vision with a tattoo gun.  As a fun wrinkle, the set includes an alternate Beetle-juice inspired head.  First shown in proto form at this year’s Thailand Toy Expo, the set is available for pre-order for $269  (+ $20 for global shipping) from Fools Paradise’s web shop through December 7th, 2015.

While Fools Paradise often draws on the popularity of iconic characters--most notably from Star Wars--perhaps to a fault, they often create memorable pieces that go beyond the me-too novelty of unlicensed clones.   Sure, some of the work is perhaps a bit too loose with the use of the characters, but others such as this Batman piece are quite memorable.
