Though it would be nice to have the elbow pads attached, I do not have the nerve to do any sort of mods on these figures.

Wow! That's an S ton of work for a guy who said he's going to wait to mod his DX12. :rofl

Can't wait to see the reveal!

Shortened neck.
Thickened ankles.
Removed glove buckles.
Cut elbow pads off gauntlets and glued to the suit.
Put on custom cape.
Sanded all three face-plates so they sit deeper into the face.




...I think that's it so far...

I think my list will be similar except I'll be using the Medicom cowl and probably eventually CREG's custom version which he's developing now

Just be a little rougher with them then you think? First look at the plastic clips, make sure they are turned in the right direction (one of mine needed twisting around) The little plastic "step" slots in, lower part first, then push it forward and finally press down. They shouldn't be sticking up in the air they should be pretty flush with the body. Hope that helps its hard to describe in words, but basically put more strength into it than you think, once you are sure you are inserting the correct edge.

Thanks for the info. I'll give it a try when I get home from work today.

Recently got two. First off, this is a huge upgrade to the dx02. In.every.way.possbile. Head sculpt, suit, over all construction. Sure he's missing two things from making this the ultimate sixth scale batman figure, but what you get here is an amazing piece. So happy with the purchase, and sad at the same time. It pretty much makes the dx02 obsolete. Especially with the rubber deteriorating, asymmetrical cowl sculpt...I don't know what to do with the two I own.

Update on the dx02 abs...I don't have the DCD batch, but the abs have become rock solid now. WEIRD. Rubber around the crotch area show stretch marks...which is odd considering the neutral pose I had him in. Just...a damn shame.

Anyway, whoever is on the fence about this release, don't fret and don't let any negative opinions affect your decision. GET IT.

So what are those plates glued to the cloth suit on the DX12 made of? titanium? solid steel? seems to me they are rubber or vinyl.

Got the dx12. Love it. I think adjusting the eyes a certain way, the smirk face looks dead on like bale. This is taken with iPhone and I didn't take much time to pose View attachment 53817. What u guys think? The only thing I think is the chest plate maybe too flat. Then again I'm used to my mms71 lol

Re: HOT TOYS : MMS DX 12 - The Dark Knight Rises - BATMAN / BRUCE WAYNE Full Specs &

One more thing, the bale sculpt neck hole is too small for the mms71. What should I do. Is it easy to grind down the post on the mms71. Anyone try it?

there is a small rubber thing in the socket of the of the neck peg piece, if you take some pliers and pull it out im pretty sure it will fit
but it wont fit on the batman body any more

Re: HOT TOYS : MMS DX 12 - The Dark Knight Rises - BATMAN / BRUCE WAYNE Full Specs &

Alright thanks man. Think I could put the rubber piece back in if I want to or will it break?

One trick to help the cape lay flat, and appear to fall more naturally, is to kind of tuck the sides behind his elbow pads.

im not sure... if you do it realy carefully its possible, maybe try heating it up with a hair dryer? but i think it will rip

For those having trouble getting the cape to lay flat.


The part of the clip indicated by the arrow below needs to be pushed under the suit. Until you do that it will be a constant problem. Once you get it under the suit you literally never need to think about it again. It will lay flat until the day you remove the cape.

Here is what you should see once the clip is in place:

I think my list will be similar except I'll be using the Medicom cowl and probably eventually CREG's custom version which he's developing now

I highly recommend the glove and gauntlet mods.

One last stupid question... lol

How exactly do I remove the neck?

The only Hot Toys I own are the Bank Robber Joker/DX01...

Obviously the head and necks on those were one piece...

So I'm not sure how to remove this Headless neck on my DX12. lol

Just pull really hard? Or is there a method????

Anybody?????????????

Again, I'm sorry for asking seemingly stupid questions... I'm just being extra careful/gentle with the figure.

A quick breakdown of the neck mod for anyone curious:

1. Carefully split the post in two at the seams.

2. Remove the bottom rubber grommet, don't be too rough, as it is glued in place.

3. Snap the neck post back together. There are four posts that snap together, so you don't even need to glue it.

The difference is subtle, and you may not even think its necessary, but I personally think it makes a difference, and fixes the only issue I had with this guy.

Thanks for posting this! might give it a try when i go home for thanksgiving

Now that I have him in-hand, I have to admit they are too thick. He has the same Advanced True Type "thunder thighs" that Spiderman does.

I'm thinking that if you could find a way to pull down the pants you should be able to take off the thigh adapters.

shouldn't be too difficult. unstitch the seam at the waist. take off the leggings, take off the thigh enhancers, then restitch it back togetther

Shortened neck.
Thickened ankles.
Removed glove buckles.
Cut elbow pads off gauntlets and glued to the suit.
Put on custom cape.
Sanded all three face-plates so they sit deeper into the face.

...I think that's it so far...

eager to see the ankle mod and how you did it!

also, will most likely sand off the back of mouth plates too. did you sand down the circular plug at all?

Gauntlet mod:

that gauntlet mod looks tempting.

Re: HOT TOYS : MMS DX 12 - The Dark Knight Rises - BATMAN / BRUCE WAYNE Full Specs &

looking at it again i dont think it will

Re: HOT TOYS : MMS DX 12 - The Dark Knight Rises - BATMAN / BRUCE WAYNE Full Specs &

I'm sorry if this is a stupid question...

But how the hell to I open the Belts/put one on him? lol

Yeah I had the same problem.
Both seem to be a solid belt with no way to open it.
I finally got one opened and it looked like I nearly broke the strap.
Just be careful.

Re: HOT TOYS : MMS DX 12 - The Dark Knight Rises - BATMAN / BRUCE WAYNE Full Specs &

The belt works exactly the same way as every other Hot Toys Batman belt. It's just more seamless looking.
