Sweet, thanks for the tip Karnis!
My Bats should ship from BBTS today and my Tony set should be here any day now hopefully. Can't wait!

After reading Michael Crawford's review on West-man.. I haz a bit of a sad.
The suit HT went with really is utter **** in terms of it's durability, it seems.

Sidehosw flubbed my order with Flex, etc. Wound up charging and shipping only Robin and putting Bats on a flex! Robin will be here tomorrow. Alone.

Same here, buddy. The comments from our fellow boardies regarding the suit being very delicate already got me worried, and Crawford's review was the last straw. After reading the review I contacted Tony right away. I am not one to spend extra on top of the premium we pay for these figures but West Batman is something I know I'd keep so I thought I might as well invest to make it look better and last longer.

I concur with the gents! Definitely the freshest and most creative unboxing video I've seen! Looking forward to seeing more vids from you, buddy!
There could be a logic to it, in that stiffer capes can hold a kind of pose better than the thinner, more flexible ones. But they aren't as screen accurate of course. I like what they did with Reeve Superman, but haven't been satisfied with any of the Batman capes so far, and I've had 6 different HT Batmen at this point.Yeah, HT seems to lack research when it comes to looking for better cape materials. That or they just settle for the cheapest option.
Robin has arrived. The Dynamic Duo is complete! Both figures have exceeded the expectations I had for them. Just goes to show you what Hot Toys can do when they take a little less time making Iron Man and Predator figures.

Would love feedback from those of you that have received BOTH.
I definitely ordered Batman, had to have it, a very nostalgic piece for the collection.
As campy as the 66 Batman suit was, Robin's for me was always even tougher, especially with the white pantyhoes and pointy shoes.
Hot Toys IMO nailed the source material, but I had pre-ordered Robin, and then cancelled and am now on the fence about ordering and keeping.
Really what I was wondering from folks with both is do you feel that having Robin in hand, enhances having Batman?
I don't necessarily want the Robin figure, but is it one of those things where it feels incomplete without both?
Hope my question makes sense!

People were talking about wearing gloves, but I don't think it would really matter. It's not oily skin that is making the suit have problems, it's just touching and moving it I think. And as mentioned, some of the issues are there right out of the box.
I wouldn't buy it if you don't want it. You'll just end up selling it eventually.

Your question makes perfect sense. Obviously this is a personal decision. As a huge fan of the show, I can't imagine having Batman without Robin. Unlike the modern day Dark Knight, these two characters as they appeared on the show were inexorably entwined. We are talking Abbott and Costello, Laurel and Hardy, the Lone Ranger and Tonto, Dan Rowan and **** Martin...these two are a must have together.

Not bad. Also, not THAT good.

He told me $85 for the suit and $55 for the cape, or $120 for both. I know it's worth it in the long run with the fragility of the Hot Toys suit, but after paying $200 for the figure in the first place, another hundred is a real blow to the wallet.
