Re: Show your Hot toys Batman Collection!

I've only repainted the mouth area and added the Hot Toys' belt. No other mods.

Re: Show your Hot toys Batman Collection!

This picture from the DX Joker thread (Crow's picture) shows that it is FAR from a rehash. The Joker on the left is the DX, the one on the right is the BR Head/V1 Costume. The DX is clearly a substantial improvement in costume material, fabric, design, coloration, and fit. The coat is better, the vest is better, the shirt is better, the tie is better, the eyes, the pants, the shoes. From all appearances, it is just better ... by a lot.

eh, i see the differences now, but i still think that is too small of changes to spend 150 bucks on another joker. at least for me. im happy with the original body, heck, i even like the first sculpt, even though its not perfectly like heath ledger like the other ones, its the only one where hes got non-runny makeup AND smilling AND looking straight foward.

I am sooo glad I did not bite earlier cause for the price and a bit for the TT I am getting and keeping the Joker and Cop

I can't speak to that -- this will be my first purple-suit version. I passed on the V1 because I couldn't justify spending $150 on a ridiculous headsculpt just to get the costume.

You rate the sticky bomb gun and backpack cape over a whole new Cop Joker figure?

seriously the dx batman is more of a rehash. it uses the same friggin suit as the v1. THE SAME ONE

Proof or GTFO.

Proof or GTFO.

Just look at the pics of the DX Batman and then look at the TDK first release..same suit...they should have re-designed it into weaved body glove with thin pieces of flexible plastic for armour plating.

Re: Show your Hot toys Batman Collection!

I've seen varying pics. Some where it looks like it's the same exact suit (figures at conventions and on display), others where it appears to be thinner and much better looking (spec pics).

Nobody can tell for sure and HT never went into detail if it was the same one or not. Could be either one.

Maybe

Maybe not

It's still not this,

Re: Show your Hot toys Batman Collection!

Looks like the same suit as the first to me.

Re: Show your Hot toys Batman Collection!

I'm pretty sure it's the same suit, they may have just gotten the proportions on the head to more closely match the body. I still expect it to be bulky as hell.

According to this photo-analysis thing by Maulfan, it looks substantially less bulky. The chest and shoulders are far smaller, the waist is somewhat smaller. Altogether better proportioned. I expect the improvement on Batman to be as substantial as that on the Joker.

Re: Show your Hot toys Batman Collection!

The figure looks the same to me. I doubt Hot Toys went throught all that trouble just to make a more slim suit.

Re: Show your Hot toys Batman Collection!

Less bulky - good, but only with over analysis to confirm this - it dosen't strike you as *less bulky*

However - bulkyness aside, it still isn't accurate enough

Re: Show your Hot toys Batman Collection!

It looks exactly like the film's version! The only thing that needs improvement is the bulkiness of the chest.

uh...yeah...

you're right, it looks absolutely nothing like the film suit...i couldn't even tell what character it was. i thought it was roger rabbit at first....

Yeah, I thought is was superman. Nothing like the movies costume.

They didn't, they made a slim body

I didn't say that - I said it wasn't accurate, there is a difference. There are elements to the chest armour and the stomach and arm armour that could benefit from improvements.

It is difficult to say definitively how it "strikes you" from only a couple of photos.
