Hot Toys 1/6th scale BATMAN (Original Suit) Photo thread

[MaulFan]

The Bergholtz bale HS is the best I've ever seen. So glad I got one...

Me too, and judging by images of the Bale head on the suit, should be easy to pull out the neck piece on this figure and put Andy's head with the older style adapter on it and have a badass figure

Speaking of the adapater, those with this figure, are there 2 neck pieces, one for Batman and one for Bruce or do you just mount your head of choice onto the same neck post?

Wow, this is the first image I've seen of this figure where the head doesn't just look great, but the Bale likeness comes through, it completely looks like bale wearing a mask, not just a great Batman head.

That was my favorite shot, as well. Incredibly life-like. Looks like a promo pic!

It's just one neck post for both heads. And yes, Andy B. Bruce Wayne is the best bar none.

They all look life-like to me, but when I saw that one image it was like "holy Balesculpt Batman!" Really though, the lighting and everything in that shot does a great job of showing that they did a great job executing a likeness in an incomplete portrait. With just eyes and a mouth basically, they made that head look like Bale, that's skill.

Thanks for the comments guys, appreciate it!

After taking the 2nd round of pictures, I begin to like this figure more and more. Hot Toys really nailed it in all the right places!!!

Can't wait to receive my Joker fig & the TDK Suit Bats.
I seriously hope they will give us all the other characters like Two-Face, Commissioner Gordon

Hot Toys ROCKS!

Great, great pics. Awesome variety of positions and situations. Nice use of the new stand for the kicking pose, too.

They've really set the bar high with this one -- very eager to see the TDK suit.

Amazing pictures

But I have to agree, Andy's sculpt is still the best, but this is a close second.

I don't know if this has already been asked, so please bear with me.

how is the rubber suit attached to the forearms? is it just pushed under the forearm armour like the Takara version or is it glued down?
I only ask because on the Takara batman when I bend the arms, the rubber gets pulled out from under the forearm armour and I can see the body and it kind of spoils the look a bit.
thank you.

Hi there all, Here are some comparisson pics of V1 BB and V2 Batman...

The V2 absolutely leaves the V1 in the dust.... I have also added some pics of my V1 BB with the Bale head from the V2 BB...note that I have left the original Black neck on nthe V1 BB and simply added the head to the black neck instead of having to swap the skin neck with the black ETC,,....it simply IMO looks more like the skin suit continues up the neck line.....

Hope you enjoy.....

Hello,

I just got my first 1/6th scale figure (this Batman) and I was wondering how I was supposed to change the head and hands, do I just pull them off or something?

Thanks in advance,

Hey Patrick, nice to see a fellow Benelux'er here

To change the heads, you can indeed just pull them off. The cowl and Bale head both connect to a ball jointed neck and can easily be switched..

Oh, and if you've got pictures, we want 'em!

Is it normal that when I pull the hand or head of the whole neck or the balljoint in the hand comes off?

 

[Johnny Utah]

That happened to me too...best thing to do is put the joint with hand connected into a cup of boiling water,pop the joint out,put that in the arm,and put the new hand on that.

HT Batman's neck is too long, I think.

Will I have to do that each time I want to swap?

And how would I do something like that for the neck?
Dont think boiling rubber is to good?

 

[Johnny Utah]

The neck should come off easily,pop on and off.I have my Bat on top of my tv and Bruce Wayne in a tux on my dvd stand.

Yeah, HT hand joints can be tricky sometimes; but the neck shouldn't be too much of a problem. I don't think boiling the head will be necessary, mate. Just give it a good pull
