Freaked Out
I think shape wise, OSK is definitely the better one.
But yeah, it lacks bulkiness at the end and that makes it like a cheap piece of cloth, super thin.
I will hold off from upgrading til there's a new cape available.

Thanks!Awesome pics RogueRunner!
Debating on this mod with the “empty” seamless cowl. Might acquire a second headsculpt to transplant the eye system and mod the faceplate.
It will certainly all fit, but the black plastic under the faceplate chin will need to be removed (it’s glued but can be done) and then figure out a system to have it sit flush and hold. With this done, the faceplate will sit lower and push a little further out than it is in the pics below.
The pics below show the faceplate inside, but will look more natural and flush if I remove the black chin plate. Next step would be mounting the neck:

I tried this with mine but unfortunately the inside of the cowl is not shaped well for eyes to be transplanted and would need dremeling, which would be extremely difficult to do ‘blind’.
Best of luck!

I’m not saying it’s not possible, but would be extremely difficult unfortunately!
I got up to the point I had the eyes in place but they sit way too deep and the effort to try and get them in place was not worth what I felt would be an inferior result.

Yeah I hear ya. I think I’ll just stick to pictures of the back of the head for it lol. With the right angles and lighting, it can look seamless (better contouring that InArt in this department):

Found an image of Batman on Insta and honestly once slightly modified and you get a better collar and cape this figure is pretty great.
Finally picked this guy up and couldn’t be happier. Had the inart but had to sell it unfortunately, and honestly I think I’m just as happy with this figure as I would be with that. It’s difficult to capture and photos definitely don’t do it justice. My opinion has completely changed about the cowled sculpt, it looks great from most angles. I think with a little TLC the proportions of this are better than the inart. Mine has been heavily weathered and chest piece has been basically repainted, and has the OT neck collar as well. Will pick up the topo drifter set for the unmasked sculpt.
Now I’m on the lookout for the deluxe stair base if anyone has an extra laying around

That looks great! I feel the same way. I just got my InArt in yesterday. It’s very good, but there are some things I don’t like. I planned on keeping both HT and InArt, but I’m happy with HT.
InArt definitely did better with the torso fabric, and “armor” there. But other than that each come up just a little short on perfect.
I think HT would have been perfect out of the box if the cape was a bit better, and the head sculpt was scaled down maybe 5%.
Enjoying my batman figure! I did have one issue where the horizontal strap between the wrist armour and upper arm has come loose.
Don't suppose anyone has any suggestions how to fix it? For now I've lived with it because I got it cheap £200 (it was the set with the fancy diorama stand)
It isn't too noticeable when posed.

I believe it’s just a stitch, so should be fairly easy with a sewing kit.

Yeah, these photos are gorgeous!
I take it I would first need to remove the suit off the body and then stitch it? I just might give it a go
Anyone's got an extra pair of boots for sale?
Picked up a deluxe base for this guy.
Really love this figure honestly photos do not do it justice.
It has become the figure I stare at most lol
