EB's body (at least for the 1/4 Begins Batman) is indeed cheaply made. I think it was 2 years ago when I posted on the EB Batman thread that mine broke by the shoulders as I was very carefully raising the arms laterally while cleaning the suit. I had to remove the suit to see and repair the damage -- and that's how I found out that the shoulders and chest were connected by a hinge made up of thin, brittle plastic and a tiny screw that might suffice for 1/6, not 1/4 scale.
That suit material may not be for everybody, but it's surely tough! I did the "liposuction method" to make the belt fit and lose that gut, and it can withstand a good deal of stretch.
The belt, grapple gun, batarangs, and bombs from EB look very cheap as well compared to those that came with QS HT TDKR suit.
yeah HTs 1/4 TDKR is such a solid figure, very posesble, feels like a lot of care went into it. EBs didnt for me. they nailed how bale looks in the cowl ill give them that but overall just felt cheap not worth the price. felt the same with their first Jordan figure. not sure if they improved them since? great sculpt the rest felt cheap.
. Back then i was a completest for all TDK trilogy stuff, but over the years I let a few of the weaker pieces go or ones that were duplicates. The Begins Suit is my favorite batman suit of all time, I even have a 1:1 version of it, but EB just didn't do it for me. The material of the armor felt so thin to me, but i guess it held up for most people. Posing him was like nearly impossible
