STOP POSTING/QUOTING PICTURES! IT ONLY MAKES THE WAIT MORE INTOLERABLE!

LOL just kidding guys.

Joking aside, I might have to pose him with more neutral leg. I don't want to put a lot of stress on the suit's rubber plates.

Why is that? Did u have problems with your DX12 doing that?

 

[franpincho]

I don't understand. I'm beiing charged my final flex today, just got an email stating that.
I don't know if I should feel hopeful or what.

 

[Dingobuzz269]

I'm being charged to, which was quite a surprise. I guess we'll see.

 

[BadMuthaDude]

So I guess I'm the retarded kid in the back of the class that ordered really late from BBTS

I'm right there with you.

I still have hope that my waitlist will convert though.

Lady at SS told me they were going to be pushed a week ago as the item was delayed.
I'm happy I guess?

No, I always knew that it won't do the rubber plates good so I've kept my DX12 in neutral stance after a week of having it posed stepping down its base/stand. It's been in neutral pose since then.

I read from others though -- those who posed their DX12s on their bat-pods -- that the pose gave some stress marks on the plates on the legs.

But you can still bend them a bit right but not to the point like he is stepping down on the base?

Glad I never did that then!

I guess. Anything extreme bending, like a 90-degree bend just like how riding on the pod requires might cause serious problems overtime, but not those little bends just like in a contrapposto.

Also, we're not sure yet, as QS001 rubber might be more resilient and could hold stress better. However I choose to give rubber-clad figures neutral poses just to be safe, even EB Bats whose suit I've torture-tested. It's a good thing that Batman looks bad-a-- even standing up

Ok that's a relief, one of my DX12s is in a slight walking stance.

What do you think of the way they have him displayed now? The legs look like they are in quite a dynamic pose. Also the pose at the SDCC he was sort of stepping down. So if it is anything like the DX12 it is possible that these poses will put the same sort of stress on the rubber plates right?

Do you think the legs won't be as stiff as the DX12?

Like this?

Well, we're still not sure of the QS001's rubber plating's resilience to bending/folding, but I still wouldn't pose mine this way for a long time, if not at all. See the rubber plates on either sides of the figure's knees? I can't help but be paranoid that it would result to hairline cracking right where it bends if kept that way for a long time.

Cowl looks narrow in this pic, just like the dx12. Pretty sure some folks would cancel if this pic gets around.

Hmm ok I see your point, I was going to post a pic of the SDCC pose but I just looked it then it isn't really dynamic as I first thought it was. The legs were only slightly bent at SDCC. Like you said the one good thing about Batman is that he can look in a fairly neutral stance.

I thought it looked narrow in every pic, that was one of the main cons about it.

The ones from SDCC looks very good. Miles better than these new ones from STGCC.

I think they had the lighting perfect at SDCC. That and the pose. In these pics the cowl looks similar to the proto. In hand pics are going to be huge with this guy.

 

[Frank Jaeger]

Probably because the lighting was way more forgiving at SDCC. Its amazing what it can do to a figure

[Frank Jaeger]

I cant't really see any difference in the cowls from SDCC and STGCC.

The only difference is the light, theres no way the cowl changed from proto pics to SDCC to STGCC

Sounds like you are having doubts about pre ordering this now Hydeous?

It could be my imagination but the eyes still look smaller than in the proto pics.

In hand pics are going to be huge with this guy.

Although I have pre ordered this the in hand pics will be the deciding factor to whether I buy this or not.
