DC fans have received an exciting early preview of what is coming next to the growing 1/9 scale line from FondJoy. A newly surfaced leak showcases an unpainted prototype sculpt of the upcoming FondJoy 1/9 BVS Batman figure, offering a preview of the Dark Knight’s updated standard suit appearance from Zack Snyder’s Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice.

The leaked image from the FondJoy Global group on Facebook reveals a detailed resin prototype that highlights the sculpt work, articulation scheme, and signature gear before paint application.

Prototype Details and Articulation Features

The leaked prototype image gives fans an in-depth look at how FondJoy is approaching Ben Affleck’s bulky, comic-accurate silhouette. Rendered in clean grey/white unpainted plastic. The post mentioned that this is the original prototype, and the sculpt is being reworked to make the figure is being bulked up more, specifically in the upper arm area.

Key takeaway features observed from the unpainted test sculpt include:

• Weaponry & Gear: Batman is sculpted holding his oversized rifle high in his right hand. The utility belt features individual pouches, a realistic buckle, and dedicated holster space.
• Muscular proportions: The figure mirrors the short-eared cowl and broad physique characteristic of the BVS suit.
• Articulation Setup: The prototype displays double-jointed elbows and knees, ball-jointed shoulders, a multi-segmented torso cut for waist crunch and swivel, and flexible ankle joints to support dynamic superhero landing poses.
• Cape Attachment: Broad shoulders and soft neck contours indicate the figure will accommodate a fabric cape for tailored posability.

Expanding the FondJoy DC 1/9 Scale Universe

FondJoy has steadily made a name for itself among DC figure collectors by delivering high-quality, highly articulated 1/9 scale (roughly 7.5 to 8-inch) figures at competitive price points.

This upcoming release adds to FondJoy’s growing roster of Batman v Superman releases, which already includes the Armored Batman, Knightmare Desert Batman, and the 1/9 Superman figure. By bringing the flagship standard batsuit into the lineup, fans will finally be able to complete their core Trinity displays alongside previous releases like Cyborg, Batman from The Flash (2023), and their recently announced DC Studios Superman.

Release Expectations and What’s Next

While FondJoy has not yet officially announced pricing, pre-order dates, or final accessory lists for this version, early unpainted prototype leaks typically signal that an official announcement with painted promotional photos is only a few weeks away. Standard FondJoy 1/9 scale single releases generally ship with interchangeable hands, alternate cowl portraits, weapon accessories, and a custom display stand.
