After two years of unfounded rumors and poor marketing tactics, Mattel has finally rebooted the Dark Knight Movie Masters line with a handful of great new figures, including this Scarecrow which I came across on a total fluke at Toys R Us and at a considerably lesser cost than most of the sellers here on Amazon are advertising.

Donning a slick new suit instead of the frumpy straightjacket featured on the 2008 Scarecrow figure, this is a much better representation of how he actually appears in the Dark Knight film, albeit briefly. Great attention was paid not only to the sculpting of details such as the folds and textures of the clothes, but to the paint job as well which many toy collectors should appreciate. Unfortunately, unlike the “jail cell” Joker, the Scarecrow was not given a brand new facial sculpt for 2010, and instead re-uses the exact same head as the first one. But in all honesty, I don’t know how they could have improved on his look anyway, aside from maybe including an alternate, interchangeable Jonathan Crane head altogether. It also includes the same “crime scene evidence” mask with no other accessories. Yet despite those minor fallbacks, it overall proves to be a well made figure for one of my favorite Batman villains and definitely surpasses the 2008 Movie Masters Scarecrow in terms of authenticity.
