Hot Toys- MMS 67 - The Dark Knight - 1/6th BATMAN (Original Costume) full spec+pics

[My Lord]

Almost missed the og picture poster made use of the Bale head in the background. He looks terrific as well.

 

[EVILFACE]

Great pix!

Is it just me or does he look short and fat in the 2nd pic?

Thickness is dead on for Bale Batman, but that neck is a good 3/16th too long.

Someone else had ordered them from abc-express ?

I have received this e-mail today:


P.S. Also the Hot Toys BATMAN 1:6 The Dark Knight JOKER 12" figure

Bet they're fixing a few things, this is good news. Thickness is perfect, between Bale and Buster Reeves, the body type is dead on.

I want more shots of the yuli sculpted bale... it looks incredible..

 

[creecher]

The giraffe neck really sticks out in that pic, don't it.

 

[mr.fan]

Takara one looks lean and I guess Japanese superhero ish but not really an accurate representation of Batman on the screen. It is still a very stylish and cool representation of Batman.

This new HT version is the most accurate I have seen so far. Yes, he looks really bulky but that's exactly how he looks like in the movie.

exactly the suit is indeed bulky in the movie and when he switches to the newer suit, we can see a clear difference in terms of bulkyness... After seeing these pics, I am simply amazed, un^^^^enbelievable...

 

[galactiboy]

Really digging how Bats has turned out... and glad I sold off my V1 last month

I know it was posted in here that there is a delay at least from ABC express but some Asian collectors already have both in hand. I doubt they'd released anything if there were things to change.....something isn't adding up.

 

[icruise]

The only mention of delays came from an ebay dealer who was using it as an excuse for why they wouldn't be shipping right away, so it might just have been BS.

Gotta agree...wouldn't it suck if you received the first batch and it didn't match up quality wise to later shipments.

 

[EVILFACE]

Maybe they are fixing the long neck!!!!

 

[The Mike]

Nah. Its already released. I expect ABC Express to be shipping late and hopefully they are the only ones.

 

[Wor-Gar]

Maybe they are fixing the long neck!!!!

Wave 2 buyers will get the fixed neck. Eager-beavers get the "trunk" neck exclusive.

 

[creecher]

Yep, they have never emailed me before about delays, and their communication isn't always the best. These may even be emails they meant to send a fortnight ago. Who knows for sure, the Wolf Predator shipments were haphazard, so this may be the same. Maybe Hot Toys is having their figures sent direct to each distributor from the factory, which may account for these irregularities. Doesn't matter they are coming soon.

I have been ordering many things from this guys..but from now on this is the last time.....both are already out in Asia.!!
The e-mail iIreceived sounds like an excuse because they dont have them in stock.

 

[noisetrigger]

I am in Asia and this is good news considering I just preordered one yesterday. As this rate I should be getting mine sometimes next week.
