OK so like I said, I wasn't satisfied enough with this Black Chrome guy, so I had to order the regular version, was lucky enough to find an ebay auction for the same price charged by Sideshow, and got it yesterday. Damn putting those batteries AGAIN in the head is a pain in the ass.
So...
After much comparison between both versions... I dig the regular version better, no doubt. It's really the way to go if some hesitate between both like I did.
Though the regular version doesn't look dark enough when exposed with too much natural light in the room. With artificial light, it looks perfect, great dark grey, but in natural light depending if you go all out on the light, it looks light grey, which kinda makes it look like a cheap toy, I wish it was more dark grey with natural light. While the Black Chrome version suffers the opposite problem, it looks ass with artificial light, and beyond awesome with natural light.
Truth be told, both are fantastic figures, but each one needs its own lighting environment to look perfect.
In my case, given the configuration of my home, the regular version is better because I don't have enough natural light coming through, except in the living room but I really don't want to leave a Hot Toys figure in there... if I had more natural light, the Black Chrome would definitely be the killer version.
One thing I like better on one version over the other is that the Regular version looks heavier because of the greyish tone on the armor. You'd think it's made out of real steel or metal. Of course it's as light as the BC when you lift both, it's just the look of the painting that cheats your brain.
Both figures have the exact same sculpts, the only differences lie in the color scheme. And again, I prefer the regular because the cape is black and it offers a nice subtelty with the armor's color.
Out of all the Batman V Superman set, the armored regular version is definitely my favorite figure. I like the standard Affleck Batman a lot, it's perfect in its own rights, but he looks a bit ridiculous when you put him next to those armored figures. As for the Knightmare version, I felt it had the potential to be the greatest from the set, but the coat feels cheap, it lacks weathering, and it falls flat on the shoulders, that's my huge disappointment on that one.. But great figure nonetheless.
So, Batman Armored reg version and Deadpool are definitely the 2016 winners for me, best figures from Hot Toys this year imo.
I can't recommend the BC over the regular, I feel the regular has the upper hand by a distance, but BC is definitely a nice bonus figure, especially if you have a lot of natural light in your home.
I'm considering to sell mine (obviously for a bit less than Sideshow charged me as I unboxed it), but I will have to give it a bit more thought.
and I have to wait till Christmas morning before I can open it....... After seeing the last few pics from you guys I don't know if can wait that long!! Extremely excited for this figure!!
