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

[Darren Carnall]

I love this figure, and I do plan on getting it.... but seeing it next to the Takara just confirms what I've though all along that the head is too big/tall... doesn't matter I'll still get it, will just give me incentive to tinker and stuff, lmao

Fantastic pics man! Thanks! Man being a HUGE fan of the Takara and all after seeing these pics ........................... well lets just say I never thought i'd see the day when there'd be something better than it.

No comparision. HT rules all!

I'm really interested in obtaining an exact version of the suited Bergholtz Bale figure that was posted a few pages back.I know the Saturday Toys suit is available but what's the easiest way of getting a painted Bale head for a good price and the least hassle?

I'd check with either Josh (Darkartist81) or Les (Les Walker) both IMO are the finest artists on this board. I'm sure both have alot on their plates right now though so I would inquire right away. As for the head I believe it was a one time commission.

Yup. No doubt. Andy B's headsculpt is THEY best Bale out there today, even better than the amazing Yulli's!

I missed out too.

Looking at both painted sculpts I think I like my HT one a little better. Of course having the HT one in hand and being able to look at it from all angles definitely helps. Seeing more pics of Andy's work could change my mind easily. Either way two fantastic Bale representations!

Question for those in the know... is the nose on the cowl that long and pointy on film. Looks a little odd, not a deal breaker, but odd.

I was watching Begins recently paying attention to that after making a similar observation of the figure. From a pure profile, the figure seems a smidge too long, but from some 3/4 views, it looks perfect. As you say, not a deal breaker, and it's so little off that it's a mute point from most views.

It's a great sculpt. But since HT is including a great looking and well painted Bale head, I might as well just use that.

It's acurate. Bale has a big snout.

 

[mosaicsquare]

don't you mean the cowl has a big snout?

 

[EVILFACE]

Yea, but it is because the actor has a big snout.

 

[plasmid303]

You sure it's accurate? Like, 100% sure?

 

[Spliff]

Nose is only slightly too long. not as bad as the first release, but you can tell when you look at the on-hand pics with the proto on the box.

I don't know what settings it was on the digital camera, but I just clicked away

This is what you get when you take photos at night in a poorly lit room! Some shadowy looking output! Sheesh. I really need to take some pictures during the day!

I am beginning to appreciate the Bale sculpt more and more each day.

Shaun, those suits still easy to get in Singapore or are they all sold out?

So I swapped capes with Takara's version. There were casualties, though, in the form of the little triangles that held his original cape on. I didn't realize they were all one big piece glued onto the suit until the triangle popped right off the base. I'm not willing to superglue it and risk any of it getting on the suit, so they'll have to stay off. Whatever, they inhibited the movement anyway and I never liked the way they looked. I'd rather have a majestic cape than two triangles.

Also, I put HT Bruce's head on Takara's body in the spelunking outfit, and it looks wonderful. I also have a comparison pic of HT Bats with DCD's Joker because it was requested of me yesterday, and I didn't see it until now. Sorry about the delay.
