yeah, the detailing in the first pic is WAAAAY sharper.... unfortunate that such a noticeable downgrade seems to be more common now

The body though swole hardy, is a big improvement. I swapped a HT Dutch body back in the day for his sleeveless look. This is a nice upgrade for sure. Totally new figure outside of the broken bat cowl it seems. Also from the videos the scars are impressively sculpted and the articulation in the neck and arms seem pretty flexible.

There is a "greasy " look to the seamless part of the body that looks odd. Very off putting. The portrait, looks changed a bit from the proto.
Bloggers not selling this. Here's hoping some actual in-hand shots will save the day here.

Oh no doubt. I just think this is more how Bane should have looked in TDKR rather than how Hardy actually looked in the movie. Try as Nolan did to make him appear big and imposing, at the end of the day he never quite measured up. I have an old custom of Bane using either a Hot Toys Dutch or Chris Redfield body (can't recall which) that probably better approximates Hardy's size in the film than does this release. While the 100% seamless look here is a definite upgrade, it doesn't move the needle enough to buy a 3rd version of a character who (for me) no longer has much of a "wow" factor.

to be fair, there was never any 'wow' factor to this portrayal of bane

The production sculpt looks better the proto.

Hopped onto the waitlist. 
Probably no way it’ll convert though.

my ass, but considering they have been saying they plan to have it shown and up for PO by the end of the year, I'd personally call it an educated guesstimate
I'm gonna try to snag a head down the road to put on my bash Bane on the larger M34 body.

Looks good...but with the Catwoman announced by Inart I might just wait for their version.. curious how it scales next to InArt's Joker..

Good idea thinking ahead. Hopefully they do a premium edition with rooted hair.
