Would love to hear from fellow collectors who have had all of the following list in there collection at some point and the highs and lows of the figures and how you would rate them. Myself I only have 2 of the figures but would like to know who rates the best.
Here is the list
Hot Toy Batman

DX02 The dark knight
DX09 Michael Keaton Batman
DX12 The Dark Knight Rises
MMS13 Batman Begins ( numbered to 1100) ??
MMS67 The Dark Knight ( original costume)
MMS71 The Dark Knight ( The dark knight costume)
MMS155 Batman Begins toy fair exclusive 2011

Apologies in advance if this topic has been risen 100 times
so far I have the DX02 and DX12, both are great figures and I personally like the DX02 body but love the Christian Bale head sculpt in DX12.
 
DX09 Keaton Batman also gets my vote. Testament to its greatness is the lack of mods the DC guys have done to it, really only replacing the cape. Whereas DX12 got modded and customised like a ****er****er. It therefore cannot be a better figure. Even the 1:4 version is seeing numerous changes and alterations by people not happy with its accuracy.
 
DX09 was my first Hot Toys figure. Also got the V1 TonyMeis cape for it. Makes it perfect!
 
Personally my favorite by far is the HTs 1/4 TDKR figure. It's a work of art. I was not even a fan of this scale going in, but it was pretty mind blowing to me when I first opened it and it changed my mind about 1/4. To me it looks like Bale in the suit. It's very life-like. Just hope someday HTs makes a 1/4 Begins.

But for 1/6 which is what I mainly collect DX12 and Keaton Batman. I have all the Batman HTs and I like these the most as far as likeness and design.
 
I couldn't agree more with 1/4. I never had an interest in them and I regret it because I never pre ordered one from hot toys nor enter bay. And now I seen one in person few weeks back and I'm kicking myself because it is truly unbelievable.
Would like to know the compassion from the mms13 which is pretty rare, and how collectors compare it to the newer figures
 
My two personal favorites are DX09 and DX12. I had to make a few modifications to the D12 to get it just how I wanted it, but now it's one of my favorites. I thought the Keaton Batman looked just about perfect, right out of the box.

I've owned all of them with the exception of the Keaton.

MMS13 is great from the neck down.
MMS67 has monkey arms, but is a nice piece if posed properly.
MMS155 is great from the neck up.The bodysuit is el cheapo compared to MMS 67.
MMS71 is pretty inaccurate, but looks good hunched over the Batpod if you have the patience to get it into position
QS is so impressive, I never get tired of looking at it.
DX02 is great from the neck down, but watch out for leaky abs.
DX12 is the best of the bunch as far as the DK armor is concerned.

Medicom TDK is worth considering, and the price looks to have dropped lately.

Agreed- 1/4 just does it all for me.
DX09 second and DX12.....easy to pick for me
 
I've owned them all except for the QS 1/4. This is my rank.

- DX 09 Batman '89 (best)
- MMS 218 West Batman
- MMS 67 OC Batman
- DX 12 Batman
- DX 02 Batman
- MMS 71 TDK Batman
- MMS 13 Begins Batman
- MMS 155 Toy Fairs Begins (worst)
