Outstanding! Beautiful work. There's a lot of custom parts in there, love it. I'm particularly impressed by the whip pose photo.

Sharing my work in progress. I replaced the cape and applied some weathering effects on the shin guards and gauntlets. I am planning to make some battle damage effects on the rubber suit but I'm a little worried about meesing it up.

Thanks to Hastings liquidation sale, I was able to pick this guy up for 40% off retail. Which came out to $137.99 plus tax.
I had been watching to see if it sold at the 20-30 % price drops and it didn't so I scooped it up once they went to 40%. I wasn't willing to wait until they dropped to 50% as I didn't think it would stick around that long.
Even with the stock cape and articulation shortcomings, he's still an awesome figure.

That is an awesome price! Of course his articulation is somewhat limited in certain areas, but the quality of the sculpt, paint, and accessories are really terrific. Enjoy!

Yep I really like the figure and wish I could find a good deal on one.

I really wish they would make the Joker to go with this.

Yes please. I would like a good 1/6th Joker, but Ledger ones are too expensive now, I don't want a Leto, Romero is a bit too campy to match my BvS Batman, and that would leave an Arkham Joker. Which I still believe is the way to save the Leto Joker.
Horrifically missed opportunity

I just checked if this guy's still available on Sideshow, and yes it is -- with free shipping for those in the US.
It was also just now when I revisited the prototype pics that I realized that the proto had a 1-piece suit like DX09 1989 Keaton Batman. The trunks was sculpted and painted on but is actually part of the suit. Good thing HT decided to made it a separate piece, with both thighs moving freely. Gave more articulation and less bunching up on the rubber suit

Does anyone have both this and the BvS Batman? Hoping someone could measure the shoulder width of both figures.

I wish they had made the cape more like it is in this picture. The way it comes over the shoulder, and the way it drapes (tracing the form of the shoulder) here is a very nice effect. The production version has a bit too much bulk to it.

I think because of how the cowl was glued on the final product. In the proto it looks like the cowl neck can move like how the bvs batman cowl moves.
Below you see that the bottom of the cowl sits way higher on the final, then it does on the picture above.

Agreed. Its due to the change from the prototype to production. That's why I probably need that Tony Mei cape to get the truer look.
Is it possible to remove the legs from the body? Is it a regular ball in socket joint, or is it fixed in place? I wanted to tighten them up since there's not enough resistance in the forward backward motion.
Since no one responded... could someone tell me if the rubber torso of the suit extends to his underoos? I had seen this pic and I believe I can get into the joint housing to tighten it if I got the underoos off.
