If these go well, I'm hoping to finish off "TDK Trilogy" Play Arts gives us:
BEGINS Batman (w/ Demon Bat alternate head sculpt)
Crane
Ra's
Two Face (w/ Dent sculpt)
And really pushing it: a Gordon and Blake
Re: HOT TOYS : MMS DX 12 - The Dark Knight Rises - BATMAN / BRUCE WAYNE Full Specs &
WOW ...
Now THERE'S a Batman !!!
That puts the Hot Toys sculpts to shame. They did great on the BEGINS, just could never iron the kinks out with the Bale sculpt and the look in TDK / RISES suit / cowl.
Both face sculpts on this one are still fantastic, and extremely accurate to Ledger's Joker.
In fact I prefer this sculpt to the first DX version.
Bank Robber and DX 2 are the best Joker sculpts I've ever seen based on Ledger's likeness.
The DC Direct one had great likeness too, but the hair...
Dude is a shrewd business man. Takes his likeness seriously, too it seems. I know Toy Biz didn't get it for their 89 toys.
I don't know how much Kenner had to pay, but Hot Toys and Kenner are the only ones to have featured his likeness.
And we know Hot Toys had to pay through the nose, but...
Nicholson made a brilliant demand with the B89 production team and studio. He knew the studio needed him to provide big name credibility to the project. So, he worked out a big contract (small by today's standards) but he negotiated in a cut of the film / franchises on screen profits. Which...
Re: Hot Toys – MMS183 - The Dark Knight Rises: Bane Collectible Figure
Disagree. It looks great on the page, but the wrestler gimmick is corny as all get out.
Nolan re-invented the character in the BEST possible way. Both in character and aesthetic.
He's a melting pot of the Mutant Leader...
Since you're such a huge Batman movie buff, like myself, have you ever seen full pictures of the housing department for the Bat suit from TDK and RISES?
Next to the suit he has all these other weapons. And one has always fascinated me, and I'm upset they never used in the movies. He has this...
Alonzo from Training Day
Travis Bickle from Taxi Driver
Maverick from Top Gun
Judge Dredd from Dredd (2012)
Swamp Thing from Return of Swamp Thing
Maximus from Gladiator
Bond (Daniel Craig) from Casino Royale
Bond (Pierce Brosnan) from Goldeneye
Similar I can buy, but I wouldn't call them exactly alike. All Batman suits have some form of similarity. It would be like saying the Forever Panther suit is the exact same as the B89 suit. To the trained eye, they aren't exactly alike.
The Sonar Suit is overly mechanical looking. The...
Re: Movie Masters "Man of Steel" Figure
I hope this isn't how the final MM Zod will look like ... I REALLY prefer his suit in the DC Direct statue. Everything else about this Superman figure is absolutely fantastic. Hopefully they use the better grade plastic from TDK stuff and not the even...
