Hot Toys TDKR: 1/4th scale Batman [QS001] - Full Reveal & Specs

[DiFabio]

Oh man, that was great. What an awesome goody. That had to have been what, 2004, 2003?

I've always said that the Begins suit was very similar to the Forever Sonar suit, that pretty much cements that for me now having seen him in it. Very cool.

Supposedly there's a test with Cillian Murphy as Batman and Bruce Wayne as well. Probably in the same suit.

Nothing to do with the figure, but it's still pretty cool Christian Bale's audition for Batman Begins wearing the batman forever costume with Amy Adams (Lois Lane) I like this voice a lot more

Very, very cool. Looks like Bale was pretty hefty then...

Wow, the scales are really off. The Enterbay makes this one look like a short medicom figure.

So which one is true 1/4 scale? Is the Hot Toys too small or is the Enterbay too big?

I'd say somewhere in between the two is "true" 1/4 scale. With that being said, I think HT are pretty smart by not trying to conform to the standards set by EB; they'll sell more 1/4 scale Begins figures this way.

God, imagine how short a HT 1:4 Bane would be compared to the EB Joker and Batman.

One could say he had a...beer belly?

I think before filming started on Begins, Nolan asked Bale to bulk up as much as he could.

 

[DiFabio]

Yeah, and then he got too fat. Like ridiculously fat.

It's in the Begins documentary. The crew made fun of him.

Yep, and he got too big and had to slim down again lol

 

[batfan08]

God, imagine how short a HT 1:4 Bane would be compared to the EB Joker and Batman.

He'd fit in with most 1/6th scale figures.

 

[epitaph04]

Actually he'd probably fit in just fine in 1/4 scale since Tom Hardy is only like 5'9 or something.

 

[chubbyman]

After watching that audition clip, I kinda prefer the growl, especially the "SWEAR TO ME". The growl makes it much more intense.

Well, Devil's Bane would be in 1/6tn.

 

[batfan08]

Seriously, though; awesome review, Retaane! I'm really hoping my waitlist for this guy converts.

This is something I've wanted to see for years, ever since I first heard that Bale auditioned in the Batman Forever suit. However the video won't play, possibly as I'm using an iPad. Can anyone post the actual video by any chance?

He looks like the College humour imitator dude.

 

[The Clown Prince of Crime]

He looks like a different person in that costume. It's amazing how the design of the cowl can change the look of the actor...and the character.

It's entirely possible that Howard chans comments were said to spite PI and EB. Look at how many 1/4 EB have produced thus far? I know PI haven't released any yet, but look at how aggressive they are with their future 1/4 line.

All HT have shown so far are announcements, teasers (and I use that very loosely), one actual released product and one upcoming that took about a year to release. I think HC wants to be in a position where he wants to convince people that he and his company arent bothered by other companies and their releases, when in fact he is nervous. Mental gymnastics if there ever were.

I could be wrong, but seeing how HTs for the past few years have played catch up and made announcements only when their competition made announcements, i could be right.

Couldn't of said it better my friend!

Here are a few pics sent to me from a friend and customer I make cakes for. Will be making him a wired and non wired cape for his soon. He plans to shorten the ankle joints to make them match a little better.

The size difference here is pretty apparent.

On one hand, this will be my first 1/4 figure. So I have nothing to compare this with.


....on the other hand, I'm gonna keep wondering which company got the scale right.

I measured my EB Bats to about 19 1/2"(give or take) and he's the same size as the 1/4 scale figures from NECA so I would think that HT is the odd one out!?It really doesn' t matter to me cause its still an AWESOME figure and completes my Nolan trilogy!^_^

Yup I'm gonna have to build up his platform so you wouldn't be able to compare height, maybe it's harder to notice in person vs photo??
