1/6 Hot Toys Dark Knight Rises Batman

[dominishin]

Could be the best figure this year.

Ridiculously hot torso!

 

[Ven]

SOLD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! just when i wanted to get out of HT too...

 

[batfan08]

It's times like these when actions speak louder than words...

 

[jye4ever]

Once the independent firm "void and thrustmaster" give their final inspection and approval, it's so bought.

Now I can go ahead and pose the hell out of my rubber DX

 

[bloodgear]

Finally. It's about time.

 

[irok84]

I think I just came...

Yup. I did. Better go change.

 

[dominishin]

Guess we can actually pose Batman now.

The belt is fantastic. No lame single sculpt.

*Still goes with standing there like a mofo pose*

SDCC secret figure announced:

 

[wofford29]

Not sure I get the fan fare for this one. Shoulder pads are still way too big and any other changes probably wouldn't be noted unless you set them side by side and studied them.

 

[SixthScaleEdward]

I hope it's shipping in 2-3 weeks
im happy i waited for this and not pay secondary market prices for DX02

Not noticeable? That's nuts. It looks like they redid everything about the figure from the ground up.

I can already see that there are about 10 changes without looking at my DX02.

1. Mesh suit under padded sculpts
2. The line detail on the pants padding
3. Lower bicep armor
4. Chest is even thinner
5. Bat symbol smaller
6. Ab armor more accurate
7. Gauntlets thinner
8. Accurate mask-less neck-piece
9. More realistic belt, looks like it's hinged like the real thing

Okay fine, 9.

 

[Karnis]

Yeah, they are pretty big compared to the real suit. But as noted above there are some good improvements. But the most important improvements they have to make...the cape & cowl...will be the deciding factor for me to buy it or not.

 

[dominishin]

I think it's the shape... it isn't as contoured as the real thing.

The cape is always going to be ass. I've given up on that completely. Already have some custom capes anyways. I don't know what possesses them to make such poopy capes.

 

[wofford29]

Never said they aren't improvements. I think they definitely improved it. What I don't believe is that they improved it enough to make a noticeable enough difference to differentiate the two on a shelf unless they are side by side.

 

[Karnis]

Agreed, they need to hug the shoulder area better....but the end result is they still look too big.

And if you promo the fig as the most accurate representation, you gotta get those details right.

The suit is at near perfection... they change it at this point and it'll become inaccurate... well, the only thing that could be fixed I guess is the shoulder pads.

 

[wofford29]

I don't think they need to change it. I don't think it's neccessary.

Well unless they've fixed the meltdown and unless you missed the original.

 

[jye4ever]

Cape still looks like ass, fail.

 

[dominishin]

Fine. But I need this!

 

[SixthScaleEdward]

Feels good to be a newbie Batman fan,
i can look at the new fig and just be amazed
