Hot Toys TDKR: 1/4th scale Batman [QS001] - Full Reveal & Specs

[Tyranus7]

I don't think they will either. I've heard people complain about the eyes and the cowl. Even heard one guy say the figure was too flat chested. But almost half of the figure? What else is wrong with it?

Where to begin with:

- The cowl is so off, that it needs to be completely rebuild..

- Shoulder pads, they are too big and in the vertical direction.

- Arms too long, or too skinny, or boths.. They are wrong in proportion and they always looks like C3PO's arms, just like the DX12.

- Undersuit, looks like a pijama on the arms.

- Bonus: Wayne's chin too big.

Despite its issues, I PO'd this figure just so I could have a companion piece to my EB Batman. Much as I wanted EB to come up with 1/4 TDK suit, I thought it was risky to just hope and wait for something that we're not even sure would happen. with Bill neither confirming nor denying anything whenever asked if EB would make one. I thought, if that happens and would turn out better than HT's (which is almost certain, at least as far as the cowled sculpt is concerned), I could easily sell this (at least here in our country where EB is almost always just shrugged at and people buy whatever HT comes up with), and I'm willing to make it a tad lower just so I could fund the new one. On the other hand, IF that doesn't happen, I might feel sorry for not getting this while it's still at PO price.

And like some of our fellow boardies, I plan to display this figure with the backpack and sonar head, probably in case of HT ignoring our calls for revisions from the protos we've seen.

At the same time?.. Not really movie accurate

Completely rebuild the cowl? Maybe it just needs to be refined. You know, fine tuned. It's not all that far off. Although, I do acknowledge it needs some degree of work.

The shoulder pads don't seem too big or in the wrong direction IMO. I'm just basing it on pictures of the actual suit.

I haven't seen a DX12 in person so I can't speak on behalf of the arms being too long, skinny, or a combination of the two.

The undersuit looks like it has a little bit of give for poseability. If the shirt was too tight at the arms, wouldn't that restrict and limit how it posed?

I don't see the chin being too big..

All in all I hope you get your changes. I just want an accurate cowl

Wow lucky someone here had a broken PERS and had the ***** to try and scratch off the paint to determine if it was a decal or actual paint.
so case closed. I can't believe I was so wrong!



Yep it was more about proving me wrong CeeemOr not Gipetto.




Someone needs to take a leap of faith and resort to extraordinary methods like they did with the PERS to prove this once and for all.

So Giepetto you do have the EB Batman?

Plan foiled!
Actually i proved myself wrong!Gipetto,didn't you just recently buy the EB Batman and already you want to sell it?What happened?Did you get lucky and get one of those F'd up Batmans that everyone talks about?As for the 1/4 scale HT Bats,i'm really tempted to pick this one up to compliment my EB one but something tells me that Bill will be making an announcement this summer in regards to the Dark Knight line so i think i might just wait until then.Unless Hot Toys makes a 200% accurate TDKR Batman i think i'll wait.

no actually mine is next to perfect. But I bought it about 2 weeks before I got my taxes done and got stung with having to pay back a lot so I'm trying to off load it so it can help with paying them. I've been trying to get in contact with BBTS to return it even offered to pay the shipping back but I have yet to hear a reply from them and it's been over a week. I've got 30 days to return it I think which makes me wonder of they're trying to be slick and wait out the 30 days then be like "oh well it's past 30days sorry." usually they reply to me within a few hours or at most a day later so idk what the deal is

If I were forced to keep only one figure.. I would choose the 1/4 Enterbay Batman...

(or the Tumbler)

That gif is win.

Dude who's the blonde in your sig?!

It's not my favorite piece so it's not hard to let go of. Don't get that confused with me not thinking it's a fantastic piece though. It's incredible

No if it is anything like the DX12 the cowl needs to be completely rebuilt.

I haven't seen a DX12 in person so I can't speak on behalf of the arms being too long, skinny, or a combination of the two.

I don't see the chin being too big.

I have the DX12 and I can agree with everything Tyranus said about all the problems with the DX12 including the body. However, the body does not bother me, it is the cowl that is the main big problem and yes the chin is too big because it looks like a Batman chin (too masculine, cartoony looking) from the comic books not Bale's chin.

I got on the wait list for the exclusive at SS.

We'll see, I think I'll be ok.

 

[crockett2418]

Any word on when this is coming? SSC site says May, but I haven't seen any pics, rumors, anything. Maybe they are waiting for something to freeze over first!

 

[jye4ever]

I am so happy that I cancelled.

Why'd you cancel it?

Okay, I have a DX02. Did they get the chin, cowl, and body right or wrong with that figure? Based on video reviews I don't see what you mentioned as issues on the DX12. Except for maybe the cowl. When you see it from certain angles. After a lot of thought I'm hard pressed to believe that the DX12 isn't the superior figure and won't be converted into 1/4 and look even better than it currently does.

 

[Agent23]

I don't remember.

funny. Sometimes, it's hard to keep up with everthing that we order.

 

[jye4ever]

It was a one two punch of sorts.

After receiving the EB Batman all the bad on this was to great to ignore.

That and the economy.

I said one two.

I don't have the DX02 in hand so can't be sure. However, going by the pictures and reviews I have seen, the DX02 cowl is off, it is too square, the face plates are better than the DX12 ones but the likeness to Bale is still poor and cartoony comic book looking IMO. Not really sure about the body though as far as accuracy goes.

I actually didn't mention the problems with the body Tyranus7 did. I can just say I agree with him but it isn't something I noticed until he said it. Well I did notice the shoulder pads. Check out Mag's video on what he did to fix the shoulder pad issue and other Mods he did. Those things don't bother me though.

I find it strange that you mention this after you just said you do not see anything wrong with it except the cowl. Also since when did you ever believe that the DX12 was a superior figure because I thought u were always disappointed by it and was hoping the 1/4 scale one would be better?

I kept going between the EB and this one. I decided on this one...for now. If it shows up and I don't like it, I'll send it back and then maybe get the EB one.
