Hot Toys MMS 692 + 693 BATMAN (1989) 1/6 scale Batman 2.0

[Wor-Gar]

I'm still not liking the cape. Looks post-wing crash though for those that decide to go battle-damaged.

Yeah it's better than the original it came with years ago but after seeing this I'm kinda glad I picked up the Jaxon Xu drape cape now. Wasn't sure if I'd actually use it or not but I'm thinking I will.

Yeah this cape just looks all kinds of wrong. And I'd even take the original DX09 cape over it, as bad as that was.

It's amazing how Hot Toys are still so terrible at making capes. InArt seem to have nailed that from the get go judging from the prototypes.

 

[Garlador]

This is the first time I’ve actually seen the cape and gone “looks off”. Maybe it’s just the lighting. I’m usually easy to please, perhaps.

 

[Captain Clown]

Yeah, the material looks wrong. It’s like they’ve completely given up on trying to make good capes out of any accurate materials and found a heavier, more “leathery” material and have been phoning it in since.

 

[Mr. Awesome]

Is that not the same material they used for Batfleck's cape or am I imagining stuffs?

Either way, I'm almost positive I've seen that style material used on some cape in the past but I can't place it specifically.

I think Tactical Batfleck and Kilmer use it.

Jaxon cape to the rescue! I stopped trusting HT with their cape-making abilites...

I don't have an issue with the cape honestly, but I guess I see why others would. I'll wait to get it in hand before deciding to go the custom route.

It's not a terrible cape they gave it, truth be told. Especially compared to the trash bag the gave us with the original release.

It's just not anywhere near accurate. It stands out because of how accurate this figure tries to be, yet fails on the damn cape. Which throws the whole damn figure off, for some.

It's Batman. Get the cape right based on the version of Bats we're discussing at any moment in time or be eff'ed.

The cape means a lot, imo.

 

[TheBatman]

The cape is one of the biggest points for a Batman figure...get it right..

Yup. I understand that it's not accurate, at least from an outer materials standpoint. But, for me, it still doesn't look bad. I think it looks fine on the figure and and appears to drape well instead of flaring out. That's more or less what I mean by not having an issue with the cape.

Mine will be drapped back over the shoulders as that is the iconic and unique 1989 look so the material should not be too much of an issue.

Feel like that will definitely be possible with this cape. Should look nice in that way.

Also for anyone looking for the Jaxon Xu capes. Both the drape cape and the wired cape is available (with roughly a 4-6 month lead time in my experience) on OSK.

$15 deposit. $75 total. The wired may be a bit more, not sure as I didn't get that one.

What's the material that the scout trooper boots are made from? That's a really thin rubbery material that could look perfect as a drape cape.

Same here.

This looks like good Bat-cape material…
