1/6 Hot Toys - BvS: Dawn of Justice - Batman

[Rainpaulo]

Hope my last flex is taken in Sept...it had been pushed so many times.

I think they sell more than what we'd like to disbelieve!

I'm sure they're still selling a fair few, but wouldn't they sell much more with a slightly lower price? I know there's plenty of people who'd pay slightly over the odds to get a figure sooner, but I doubt there's many who'd pay twice as much for that benefit.

May not be accurate, but I wish they made the head so it could turn and look up and down. I need it to do some brooding Bat poses.

 

[EVILFACE]

Damn I have to get both of these now after this shot







I like this blogger's use of angles and lighting, never seen his shots before but he does nice work

It's fitting that the Best Movie Batman is getting the Best Movie Batman Figure.

HOLY CRAP!!!! This thing looks awesome. My wallet hates me....

I used to be one of those people, couldn't wait an extra 1-2 months for Sideshow to get it, but HT figures were around $150 back then, now its almost twice that. Can't afford to do it no more.

This turned out amazing, He's gonna make my Returns Bats pee his bat pants...

 

[jedijim3002]

Wow! Yes! Looks great. Now the long wait starving for hundreds of in hand pics till I finally get mine from SSC.

I've done it for a while now, as it's always been cheaper than buying through UK retailers + you get the figure several months earlier. I haven't, and won't, pay more than UK retailers charge because those prices are already inflated due to import costs and, more recently, the pound being so weak.

 

[Captain Clown]

Wow... This thing has exceeded all of my expectations. Beautiful figure.

And who else did not expect him to come close to being able to do this?View attachment 286128

Dang it, now I need to get this.

I would've liked if HT had made him a bit bulkier though.

I heard of RainMan somewhere but not familiar with them. There specialized in custom figure right?

Yeah he makes some of the more obscure but big fan and cult favorites, like Jack Torrence from The Shining, the Butcher from Gangs of New York, and Dracula from Coppola's adaptation. I love his Exorcist run he did, but talk about expensive. His runs are really limited, and often cost $2000+. Folks re-selling them are still struggling to sell them from a couple of years ago. Lol.

This, yeah it totally makes sense for us in the uk to buy from eBay sellers it used to be always cheaper than getting them
From the uk & I never used sideshow because how bumped we get in import and custom taxes, but after brexit the pound has taken a serious beating & pushed the cost up even more.
I don't blame the hong sellers tho-if they were making these figures on my Backdoor, id be selling them on eBay & making a easy profit.
But recently their profit margin has become grossly excessive, I mean there's making a profit & then there's just greed.
I think they'll notice soon enough that the numbers that "need" these figures mere weeks in advance, paying in excess of £100 more than can be bought a month at most later will be far less than they were before.
Il be getting mine from Hong Kong this week but no way would I pay £300- 400 for 1 single figure.
I paid £400 for my tumbler back in the day!

Keaton's figure came out awhile back, actually.

 

[Tourist]

This figure is terrific, absolutely superb!

 

[SilverStar17]

The girth of the upper body on this figure looks fine to me. If anything, perhaps the shoulder caps aren't as round/pronounced as they seemed to be in the film, but in the side by side picture with the Supes figure, it definitely has more girth than the Supes figure and the Supes figure is already pretty muscular. As long as that's the case and as long as the two figures are scaled correctly (which they appear to be), then I think it's a success.

Take off the nostalgia glasses.

 

[Lord joffre]

Anyone else think it's a little funny that Batman comes with a sniper, while Deadshot comes with Batman's Rebreather and handcuffs? Lol still excited for this figure though, looks great IMO.

it probably not going to be perfect, but it sure does look badass.

On another note, AND I DON'T MEAN THIS AS A HIT ON THE NEWER MEMBERS OF THIS COMMUNITY, I noticed that most of those who have nitpicks on this figure are relatively new, like 2015-2016 members. This is honest curiosity on my end -- are you guys long-time collectors/forum lurkers who just joined in later, or have you just jumped in to the hobby? I was thinking that maybe being new to the hobby, you got in when Hot Toys (even other companies) have gone so good they raise the bar too high release after release that it made some of us harder to please? I started collecting high-end 1/6 5 years ago, been here 4 years now, and back then this Batman, given all the nitpicks already thrown in here and there in the previous pages -- this is a Hot Toys Batman so good none of us might have imagined we'd eventually get because most of us were happy and ecstatic over the latest Bale Batman and Ledger Joker (that have since gone through several remakes).

I'm a new collector, and I often hold my tongue because people are irrational about their comments. They want more articulation, then they want a buffer batman. There are limitations and right now nobody does it better than HT. It is tiring reading the nitpicks because most are not justified or just so minor it's an effort just to get through reading all of the responses.
