If that is a deal breaker, find a new hobby.

speak for yourself, you nit pick almost everything.

So both the Batpod and Tumbler are up for preorder so what about the TDK figure?

It's not. I already expressed that I'd still buy the figure. I'm picking nits at this point, which is nothing new on a figure forum.

I updated my previous cowl comparison post with another comp image:

From that pic, I much prefer the Hot Toys version. The Medicom looks feminine with its narrow rounded appearance.

Done.

From left to right:

TDK movie ------ BB movie ------ HT TDK ------ Medicom TDK

and here's another one:
Left to right, TDK movie, HT TDK, BB movie

ATM there aren't many shots of the HT TDK figure, so I had to make do with the angle, but it should still give you the same idea.

What I'm trying to put across is that the Hot Toys TDK cowl is closer to the look of the BB cowl than the movie TDK appearance, which would then make it inaccurate.

That's fine. I'm just saying that the HT cowl is inaccurate. There will be those who like the HT TDK sculpt because it's closer to the BB cowl, mainly because they dislike the suit & cowl from TDK. The Medicom (from what we see thus far) is more accurate.

I'm one that likes the Begins cowl way better.

Now if HT would just give us both of these.

 

[Bat Eater]

the hot toys batman reminds me of prototype pics of DC direct TDK batman

I'm one that likes the Begins cowl way better.

Now if HT would just give us both of these.

Anyone know a good suit for a Wayne figure? With a HT TT body and a suit, we have an instant Bruce Wayne figure, with an alternate head no less!

Awesome

Yeah, it really stated there is unfinished prototype. Not like other, for example batpod and bat mobile, there don't have such a paragraph there. I think they use too much of time working on the bat mobile and bat pod. They are still amending the Batman Dark Knight to a better one. I hope so....really hope so.

Because myself really don't like the less of accuracy, since the the Dark Knight suit looks more slimmer and the cowl should be total difference from the begins' version.

I've had my eye on the new Saturday Toys Men's Suit Set. Should be available in a couple weeks or so...

the new cowl looks way more menacing... I dunno how to feel about the new HT batsuit... I have the orginal paid for and all.. but this i dunno..

I'm with you on this one Venny. The top part of the suit, IMO, is just spectacular in the detail but under the belt there is just no detail at all when compared to the Medicom suit.

Very cool!

I wonder now if we can look forward to a Bruce Wayne figure with a playboy head where he smirks playfully.

I did a search, but I cannot find it. Where can I see pics of the Medicom TDK Batman?

Trust me. Once HT's final TDK prod pics hit, the detail on the Medi will pale in comparison to the HT (the upper half already does). Face it, Medi's just don't have the level of detail that HT does.
