Just received this daftoys bane set from tns.
It?s a look from the film I always wanted but could never track down the jacket. I thought it looked great but you never know what your actually going to get with these 3rd party sets and never having owned anything by daftoys I didn?t know what to expect.

I was pleasantly surprised with the packaging, I was expecting a plastic bag.

The trousers look great and plenty baggie enough unlike the hot toys ones. The colour is different but I like it and the trouser colour does vary through the film. I have made my own in the past by dying army versions but the material is very heavy and doesn?t hang naturally. These feel very thin and should look a lot more natural on. The details are very good.

The jumper and DCS vest are well made and very nice quality.

The boots seem to be a direct copy of hot toys sculpt, I think I will probably re paint these as not sure about the colour but otherwise again very good.

Gloves are sculpted plastic but are nicely painted to look like leather

The head sculpt and jacket are what I was most worried about.

The head looks to be a copy of hot toys sculpt and is a lot better than I was expecting. The mouth piece isn?t as crisp and is missing some of the ribbed detail on the pipes but over all it?s very good and with a little paint touch up on the mask will look great. The skin tone and eyes I would say are of hot toys quality

The jacket is great and far better than expected. It?s a nice thin material that should look very natural on. It?s a nice imitation leather and a great colour. The body is nicely lined but the sleeves aren?t which should help with the wrinkling in the arms and achieving the ?boss? pose. I actually own the belstaff jacket that is used in the film and I am very impressed with this 1/6 version.

You also get the broken batman mask which doesn?t fit this look but is a nice extra, again looks like a direct copy of hot toys and they have added the rain drops effect which looks great.

It also came with a silky black bag which I didn?t know what it was for but I guess it?s to recreate the hostage plane scene. I?ll try it on and see, don?t know what else it could be?

I have the hot toys version with custom boots and trousers and I?m currently using a ttm20 body with it. Tomorrow I will strip it down and build 2 banes seeing which body fits best with each outfit. I will post some pictures when the?re done.
So far though I am very impressed with the set.
 
Yes it is. It?s also not as light or shiny as in the pics. All of the pics are too bright. I didn?t get a chance to get the outfit on last night but will definitely do it tonight and post the pics.

Very happy with the set. I used the hot toys boots as they are a lot nicer colour and quality. Waiting on some gripping hands now for the boss pose. I tried it with fists and should be able to do it.

Ooohhh man, timely. I've eyeballed that set a few times as of late, it looks like the quality is better than expected. What body did you end up using? I have a spare 3A body that I'm wondering might work.
 
I used a hottoys ttm20, Arnie body. The outfit still has plenty of room and would fit an even larger body if needed. Never had anything 3a so don?t know how it compares I?m afraid. The set is very nice though and I would definitely recommend it.

I was able to find a Daftoys mercenary Bane set and i'm extremely impressed with it. Although I enjoyed Tom Hardy's portrayal of the character, I preferred the imposing physicality of the comics. So I decided to make an amalgam of the two. Using the m35 body, I added ankle extension posts (circled red) and "barbell" connectors.

I thought this would add the increased height I desired. The posts were too long and I could not tuck the trousers into the boots, so I went with a smaller size post. I used a Starbucks mixing stick to easily tuck the pants through.

I am very happy with the end result. The figure shows its height against some of my normal 1/6 sized figures. If I ever find suitable taller boots, i may go back to the taller posts to increase the height a bit more.

My HT Bane is stored away, and I was able to nab a Daftoys stock market heist set! Though I would've preferred the other set, I think this set is cool too, the quality is surprisingly good. Watching reviews, it seemed the pants in the set were bigger and baggier, which also fit a worldbox at027 body I had on standby and I finally put together a huge, imposing Bane! Though it's not accurate to the film, when I envision Bane I think of him as an even bigger and bulkier character.

I decided to try a Phicen/TBL body. I'm reluctant and a bit weary of seamless bodies, but I've read good mention of these. It has a nice hefty feel and maneuvers very well. I'm impressed and pleased.


Very nice, Zurdo! I am also impressed with the M35 body and felt it was a disservice to cover its muscular physique with the winter coat, even though i really wanted to use that accessory.
 
I have a Phicen M34
is it possible to maintain a boss pose for so time?

Yeah I'd gotten the M35 too lol, yeah with this M35 body it's awesome to see how big and bulky Bane is!

Yeah I think it's possible for some time, however my instructions that came with the body warns about leaving it posed up like that for a prolonged period of time :lecture
 
Looking for the loose Daftoys black "leather" Trialmaster jacket if anyone's selling. PM me, thanks.
