Man looking through all these pics, MWC review, that youtube vid and wow! this thing is pure awesomeness in 1/6 form!

aaaaand! DiFab ia back??? I've missed seeing that awesome avatar and sig 'round here

anyone know how you calculate your number of reward points to $$? I may be able to get this and joker without selling a kidney

Each 100 points equals $5.00US. Or 5%.

I am thrilled with how it looks- just iconic all around. Do NOT care for the Dx box- the yellow makes you think 1966 Biff! Pow! Batman, at least I think of it...
Same thing with the bright yellow logo on the base. HT needs to watch the movie ..very dark, brooding, gothic in feel. The movie poster had dark gold in the logo...not bright yellow.
I'm nitpicking but keeps me from rating "perfect score" for the whole figure. Great figure in any case!

Im not a fan of the base either. It would be different if they had the colors inverted (the correct way)...

What all yellow with a Black symbol?

Well of course it would look better with the correct colour scheme.

Great looking figure for sure, definitely one of my favorites but the base and PERS head plate does leave me scratching my head.

I could see if this was their first DX figure, but come on. They could have made the PERS accessible through the neck and come up with a better base.

I won't let those two things sour an other wise perfect figure but I do wish Hot Toys had a QnA so I could ask them why. So far, the accessible PERS has been quite industrious and clever and their bases, fancy and elaborate. Why not here? As a graphic designer, the base is kind of insulting. Especially with the inverted logo.

 

[Cap'n Cook]

Agreed man. This is a knockout figure but those elements are a head scratcher indeed.

 

[Wake]

THis figure is AMAZING. I've already got a space carved out for it.

Yes, inverted and about 90% smaller.

The cape is separate, so if someone wants to make a custom cape, then can.

Earlier today, they had them listed as instock, they changed that to pre-order later, so I don't know what's going on with them.

Ye i am not sure either. I did buy one from them a couple of hours ago when the listing for ready to ship was still up. Just hope he has one in stock to send me now

I don't know why they couldn't have the PERS accessible through the mouthpiece. Have the layer with the magnet removable with a utensil, (maybe have a little plastic tab that inserts into a slot in the HS, with a slot at the top for the utensil to slide in and pry it open (like the battery covers on remotes) Then have the utensil go into the opening and control the PERS.

As far as the base goes, just paint the whole thing black(spray paint), then paint the indented portion yellow.

Man you guys are so last decade.

Wireless PERS with a remote.

I would made his eyes go round and round

Better yet, cut something black to fit over the top of the stand, avoiding having to alter the stand itself at all.

I like that idea.

The antenna could be internal and fit right inside the pointy ears.

 

[Spanbauer]

The logo itself looks slightly raised. They could have painted it black, with a different finish than the base itself, and it'd have still shown up and been very classy.

I am already thinking of a good diorama display for my BATMAN.
