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

[Maglor]

To those who are starting to feel discouraged and/or thinking twice about buying/keeping their QS001 just because of Maglor's opinions and those side-by-side comparisons of DX12 and QS001 in pictures (taken at separate occasions), know this:

Maglor, and I say this with confidence in my one year of stay on here and seeing his posts -- is a collector of high, if not highest standards. That's him, and he's well-respected in the community (add me to those who look up on him) because his high standards and perfectionism result to his coming up with modifications from simple to complicated (which he selflessly shares to all) that can bring out a figure's full potential. But with that said I have also learned to separate my opinions to his as I do with the opinions of professional toy reviewers like Michael Crawford. IN the end it's always to each his own. If I like the figure and find it outstanding as is or with slight mods, I'd keep it despite Maglor saying it looks like an oversized Mattel toy to him, or if Crawford gives it 2 stars. But then I get pleased easily.

I'm still waiting on mine, but I saw this on display and I think that in person if placed side-by-side with the DX12, the QS001 would show that it's not at all just a blown-up version of its sixth-scale counterpart.

That post means a lot to me man. Thanks.

You are so right. My opinion isn't worth more just because I'm picky, or bothered by certain things. Their are things about figures that bother other people but not me. We all see things with different eyes.

Like someone else said, if you like the pictures of this figure, you will most likely like the figure. I made the mistake of not trusting my worries based on the pictures.

From here out, I will be keeping my mouth shut when it comes to criticizing this figure. I have nothing new to say, and I've made my mind up about getting rid of him.

Again, for those of you who like the way this figure looks in pictures and think my criticisms are a little crazy: you will not regret getting it.

It really does. That's an early version though, and I'm not quite sure what the problem was there. He doesn't look fat anymore.

It looks really good there.

For certain members out there...this is the attitude to take. Say your piece, then move on. No need to constantly express something over and over again.

i'm trying to decide to buy these figure to complement my 1:1 scale hcg batman bust. how much is the value for me to purchase it? thank YOU to all.

Just got my waitlist conversion for this, should have in hand soon. Could not decide early on if I wanted so I missed the EX, but need to have this in person to see if I want it over my DX12. Anyone have a pic of this next to a Tumbler?

Congrats on the WL conversion. I will have mine today, and will try to post a pick next to my Tumblers. I don't think he will fit into my 1/6th display at all. I may have to throw in the 1/4 Endo to fight "Giant style" inside my 1/6th Batman display case.

Just buy it- it'll be a wise buy- it is THE Batman figure to own.

I resemble this remark.

I just can't seem to help myself at times.

Had mine a couple of weeks and just managed to have a little play with it and here's some size comparisons

I have both figures too and to my point of view, Hot Toys Batman has the better height and proportions. Enterbay has the same proportions as Hot Toys in head, arms and torso except for the legs. In my opinion, Enterbay Batman legs are too long. I noticed that too with the Joker. When I saw it on display the first thing that bothered me was the long legs.
So, the one who needs modding is Enterbay. I will eventually shorten the legs from the ankles and reduce the crotch to match Hot Toys. Wish me luck.

I wonder how your going to do that but good luck it will be interesting to see it. The difference in scale doesn't bother me as I display my 1/4s individually anyway.

I'd advise against modding the EB to give it shorter legs. The suit was tailored with those legs in mind. If you shorten them, it still wouldn't look right. It's similar to giving a slim TT the clothing from a regular TT....really baggy.

I don't know man, it's your call. I'd say live and let live and hope HT will make their ver of the begins suit.

I will just cut the ankles and put the boots again. I put both figures together but the Enterbay without the boots and the height was almost the same. Put the boots on front and looking in perspective, it looked very good.
I will also try the lift up the pants but that will require sanding the crotch. If it doesn't work, I will fill it up again.

Anyone still looking for one, i'm getting an extra this week from LCS here in Cal (sales tax), letting it go for $500+shipping, better rate than BBTS!

Everyone who bought from Timcent on ebay - did he mark low value gift on the customs form?

Cheers guys

Actually,the Enterbay version is accurate to scale.Their height also matches other companies 1/4 scale figures and statues.Personally,I think HT did this just to be different and deter any copycats!I think so anyway!

For what it s worth I just received the Tony Stark MMS 191 from him and he marked it as £20.00 value.

How thats possible I'll never know. These boxes aren't small. How can low value kid them on?
