That looks excellent! Was similar to what I had planned, but I thought it was a tad skinny to be in line with Hot Toys. Is it in scale with Hot Toys? Do you have MoS Superman to pose with him? Would love to see some pics of them together.

Sorry, I don't have a Superman.
I have HT Iron man figures only and he is little shorter than that.

Love this! I just finished reading TDKR so seeing a great armoured suit like this really makes me happy. Unless the HT is much better-engineered, something like this would honestly be enough for me to display proudly.

Yeah HT is high-end collectible and Mattel is toys for kids
I'm not a big fan of DC characters so I don't have plan to buy HT Batman but it looks great!

Looks great...I'm going to have to see this figure at a store and maybe try and copy what you've done.

Great job! I am planning on going a similar route but with the Jakks 20". What components do you use for the LED eyes?
