With Gordan on the horizon, I am hopeful.

Me too.. Regarding Gordon, I hope there'll be a version of him with his iconic long coat.

Taking a second look.. The placement and shape of the vest's plates seem to be pretty close. They could still be tweaked, the gaps between are to large, or the plates themselves are too small. Most importantly the middle armor piece needs to be up higher on the vest. It's way too low ATM. Other than that the color needs a drastic change, unless it's the photos lighting.

I hope we get display pics soon. To see what the color of them are.

1. They're not both green

After googling some pics, Bane seems to have an olive drab green vest, similar to the figure, to my eyes. Film version looks a bit more worn and a bit more washed out because of it.

I'm referring to the colour of armour plates actually

Huh? The armor is green on the figure?

Or what are you saying?

2. Then how come I can tell in this pic, yet can't see it in the figure? IMO You can make out what the shape of the body is behind the vest, and it ain't right.

Traps look good to me.

1) The pics where his traps are sticking waaaaay up are because of shoulder-blade position. Nobodies traps are that big. I can tilt my shoulder-blades forward and create the same effect.

You can see he has normal traps in a relaxed state:

2) I will be using the jacket, so you won't see the traps anyway.

I cannot believe people are still crying about exposed joints. So we want ripping, deteriorating, cannot pose for ____ rubber for you guys to complain about that too again?

this is exactly what Im thinking, people just want the crappy rubber bodies that they wont be able to even MOVE because they will rip to shreds.... I know the joints are showing but I rather have a figure that has joints showing that i will be able to move and display than have a figure that wont be able to move in fear of tearing the rubber...

Maglor, I'm surprised your not as disappointed with the vest as I thought you'd be. Especially with the terrible size/placement issues.

Not wowed but not completely disappointed....the sculpt looks great and with the coat on, the figure has some presence...that being said, I won't PO it and hope to snag one once it hits the streets...hopefully with some tweaks. I also agree, there most likely will be one more MMS release for Bane, but I don't see him getting the DX treatment.

I get a similar vibe from those comparison pics. Although at 1:6 scale, the plate positions aren't that big of a deal to me and I'm guessing lighting is playing a big role in those colors too.

I just don't see why all the hate for this one. A little boring? Maybe. But so is Fury and Gordon for that matter.

Yeah, like I said. I'm disappointed that HT couldn't have nailed this, for the most part, simple release. I do understand that it's 1/6 but the issues here are mostly placement/color issues which should be easy to fix.

I'm hoping the in-hand display images give us a better idea of how it will really look. (as always.)


The figure is awesome, and I was blown away at my first glance. I mean, look at this pic. It's pretty damn cool with the jacket on etc..

What is off about the color?

Is it that the plates are too dark? I really think that's about lighting.

Actually, some of us here are criticizing the choice of colour and the discrepancies between the figure and the real deal, especially in the vest area. And where are his tats??

I guess I just don't get it.

I need pics with circles and arrows.

Re: Hot Toys – MMS183 - The Dark Knight Rises: Bane Collectible Figure

Yea I don't get the hate either. sure it's lacking accessories but most HT figures these days are if they aren't DX. I mean look at the Avengers figures. next to nothing with all of those too

I've loved the way Bane looks in the film ever since we first started seeing pics of him.

this pic not only look like Hardy as bane to me but also looks like the moment in the trailer where Bane catches Batman's fist. Awesome!

Yeah, the plates almost look like an extremely dark blue and in some, almost black.

It could very well be the lighting. Hoping we get in hand pics soon to tell though.

The spaces in-between the actual armor pieces are to large, along with the placement on the main piece, it either too low or too small.

Tom Hardy's tattoos are covered up for his character.

Ye guys are sooooo hard to please....it's everything it can or needs to be...maybe the rubber body might he made it sweeter however.

Yeah, I say lighting.


In the pic on the right he is outside with almost every inch of the armor reflecting the sun:

With the pic on the left, he is mostly in shadow. However, the upper right plate (his left) is reflecting light and it looks almost exactly the same as the real pic.

The spaces in-between the actual armor pieces are to large, along with the placement on the main piece, it either too low or too small.

Hmm yeah, I can see that. But it doesn't bother me like Batman's armor leaving almost no spaces between them.


I think this thing looks great.

Again, the only issues I'm having are:

1) The coat looks too vinyl/pleather.
2) The ankles don't articulate. This is very very huge, and people should be talking about that more than anything. It destroys articulation/posing, and almost strictly relegated Bane to a 'waiting for the bus pose'. Not cool.

Re: Hot Toys – MMS183 - The Dark Knight Rises: Bane Collectible Figure

I have no clue how ANY of you could look at this....

And think that HT is anywhere near accurate. The color of the whole vest is off, the pad plates color is completely wrong and the placement is wrong, the belt is wrong....how are some of you not seeing this? Plus not to mention the pants color, shape, design, padding placement are completely wrong as well. Besides the sculpt and jacket, the whole figure just looks cheap.

....and it has NOTHING to do with lighting. That vest is just crap.

Re: Hot Toys – MMS183 - The Dark Knight Rises: Bane Collectible Figure

The belts also need to be light olive green. Not brown.
