Can we use the belt from 1.0? I knew it looked off, but not that off.

I'm actually inclined to agree with you on the eye cutouts of the DX09. They do seem more accurate.Well see, as to what I was referring to, I have virtually seen no discussion on that.
(Before other people’s panties get in a twist, the smiley react is not directed at Mr. Awesome, just in general. I also found it cute lol)

On the same page 10 posts above your query.
It was probs just me, I only asked if you’d dig it up cause you enjoy correcting others, but that’s besides the point really. The fact of the matter is that while all these custom face plates do improve the stock figure, the cowl itself is still inaccurate in certain ways. Even Unreal didn’t get it.
Looking forward to seeing a custom piece that really nails it.
All I’m saying.

Good to know. Thank you!It's my understanding that you'll need the neck adapter from this 2.0 version for the new cowl to work with the DX09

I got the extra mms693 body with a cape (no head or neck adapter) for cheap, but the main jest was the actual cape, however once I got the body in person, I realized it still had the same ball joint at the bottom, and it was a matter of swapping them out. Now I'm just posing the hell out of the new body and taking pictures before it becomes stiff again. Funny thing is that the pegs of the hands of my batman body already broke, and I spent a good 30 minutes trying to swap them out.
Everything’s interchangeable, even managed to fit him inside the Batmobile again, but with my hand recovering from surgery I had to fight my way a bit, it wouldn't sit flush with a cape and his head stuck out for like an inch above the canopy with boots and cape in.

He has got those lips perfect…..Keaton staring straight back at meAnother photo of Jaxon's updated faceplate:
Got my figure this weekend from BBTS.
I do wish the suit was smoother, but it looks okay and better in hand than videos. The stock cape is very good, but I did order the new Tony Mei 2024 cape and debating trying Jaxon’s cape too.
Overall I really like the figure. For me this old Kenner was my favorite figure growing up and I wasn’t collecting HT when DX09 was released. So it has a huge nostalgia feel that I love!
Gargoyle base is outstanding! Hope HT keeps up doing these larger dios, but they NEED to include the basic stand too.

They really should include the standard base with the DLX but they're clearly just never gonna do that. Weird decision to cheap out like that.
Jaxon faceplate on the right vs stock on the left.
Night and day IMO.
But don’t know why but still prefer DX09. It sweats more 89 Keaton to my eyes where the new one still gets Returns vibes IMO.

Agreed. DX09 still registers more ‘89. It’s the cowl brow and the eyes.

None of them are quite perfect, and each has something positive about them, but I have to agree that somehow DX09 still has the strongest likeness to Keaton. Still waiting to see more from that Unreal sculpt.

Jaxon plate is better than stock, and I don't hate the stock. The thing about DX09, especially in your comparison, he just looks more angry. And he spent a lot of time in the film looking that way. Definitely in a lot of the promotional stills.
