Finally save enough for this 1/4. Any mate recently purchase direct from EB? Just checking out.. Am from Asia, so it would be easier to get directly from them. I know a few of you will recommend timcent from ebay, at a higher price.

Thanks mate! I will try my luck from EB. Their customer response is quite bad. Took a month or more to reply to my email query.

Fresh out of the box:
Post clips and belt mods:
Trying to do something new. : )
Surprises:
- Cape has a velvet feel. Nice cape!
- Didn't know the stand pole is metal.
- The magnets were too strong that they detached from the clips.
I had to use paper glue to replace the magnets on the clips.
Overall, awesome display piece!

the spikes on my gauntlet have a slight bend and the belt has a gap on the right side which gives it a weird angle... I hope EB CS responds to this. It's an amazing figure, just a little bummed that mine came with defects.

I believe someone posted before that dipping the gauntlet spikes
in warm water while trying to reshape them would help fix that.
As for the belt, i think a replacement would be good.

that really works? right now im just putting heavy books on the spikes to see if it flattens out
the belt is a different story though

Arrived yesterday. ^ ^
Well, what can i say?
I'd start by saying that once i opened the box, I had the impression of a real, miniaturized Christian Bale trapped in a black box, ready to get up... never had such an impact before.
The likeness is in fact totally stunning, helped also by the paint, but i will cover that later.
Question; is it worth 400 dollars?
No, for me no figure worth so much and this is not an exception since, essentially, it's a toy.
But i feel that the real question should be; does it look like a toy?
And well, in this case not, once he's displayed it doesn't look like a toy at all and blends in smoothly with Sideshow's PF, giving the same sense of "big piece" and heaviness.
But it is not, and have it in your hands, ignoring the quality, gives almost (i said almost) the same feeling of handling a big NECA's toy, especially because of a lightness that's beyond suspicion just looking at him.
Maybe it's my last 1/4 figure, in spite of what I believed, figure of this size just don't give me the right feeling when handling them.
In addition, quality control is basically missing. Fortunately nothing visible and annoying, but there are some low points. Little issues on small items and accessories (which go unnoticed, however), the base itself, not good looking and very light, mounted upside down that i had to fix, the neck when displayed with Bale's head is more on the right then on the left between the shoulders, but again that's noticeable only when you remove the masked heads (which includes, in fact, the neck).
In addition, posing him it's harder than I thought, especially when it comes to legs and feet.
As for the proportions, almost perfect. Certainly better than any 1/6 because of the size ... except for the ... uh ... ass, which is really huge and disproportionate, fortunately invisible with cape on. lol
Materials? Eh ... plastic for accessories and belt (which may look like metal, but it is bad at touch), rubber for the body and i don't know what material they used for the heads, heads that, however, have a real quality to them and are as solid as they should.
The rubber body, that's something that i expected to be completely different from the pictures, more "solid", while it is just rubber, extremely smooth and thin. Not a big deal, i just thought different.
The belt is a disgusting mess, because it's positioned way too high. I thought that I would be satisfied anyway with it, since i've never had such a bad impression from pictures, but in reality i had to immediatly fix it. Also because of the hips, it was horrible. Luckily it settles in a flash with a cotton thread, and it changes completely.
The accessories settles on using magnets. Functional, practical and beautiful to see.
The price, as I said, in my opinion is really exaggerated considered the product into its components, weight and quality of materials ...
Well, now that i've done with putting **** on him, let's come to some merits, that includes likeness, paint, proportions and the "apparent quality" that he have once it is exposed and futzed.
The likeness on the masked heads gets a 10 on 10. Perfection and in all three mouths.
"Easy with masked characters" you said?
Well, apparently not as easy since Hot Toys has made almost 10 (and one in 1/4) Batman from the Nolan's movies and no one is comparable at all, in terms of likeness, with this one. A 100% representation of Bale as Batman.
You'll have the "black panther" in your house.
To the Wayne's head, I was amazed to have it in hands, but i was expecting that. Beacause i've always liked this head, always seen Bale on it. It may not be perfect, but for me, as for many owners I've read opinions on, the best Bale head on the market:
https://pic1.actoys.net/attachment/thumb/Mo...d63b00105d7.jpg
Bale's portrait is also greatly helped by the paint. Honestly, paint on this it's on levels that have never, never seen before. The picture i've posted cant really show in any way the microscopic perfection of the paint on this head, highlights some defect or loss of realism would probably require a microscope.
Seriously, skin's paint gets a 10 + + +, absolute perfection. He's alive. He stares at you. He thinks.
Never seen anything like it, can not ask for more. The hairline, the veins under the skin, the hairs of the beard, those eyes ... perfection really, Sideshow statues with this level of paint would probably cost more than 1000 dollars.
As for the cape, i simply like it.
So, let's recap:
Likeness: 10 for masks, 8 Wayne.
Paint: 10 +
Accessories: Quantity 9; Quality: 7, if casted in metal and free of any little issues 10.
Base: 6
Materials: 7, it's all too light for my taste, heads apart.
Joints: 6
Quality Control: 6 i'm lucky that issues on mine are definitely not annoying.
Total value (all considered and analyzed in detail, including unfortunately the price): 7.5
Value on display: 9.5, looks like a heavy, professional maquette from Nolan's personal collection. The magic ends just when you touch it.
What's the real problem of the figure then? Well, for me the only real problem with this figure comes only from a missing "placebo effect", an awareness of the fact that it's just a figure. If this were a heavy statue, but perfectly identical, would be a 10 to me.
Just a few and quick photos taken with iPhone, to add a more professional look to this review:
Unfortunately i'm not a good photographer and lighting / camera doesn't help, looks a bit deformed but of curse in reality it's identical to this one:
https://i286.photobucket.com/albums/ll97/rorywan/1-31.jpg
His pose is just provisional, and as you can see I decided to display him without the cape's "tabs" (i really don't know how to call those things in english), which are faithful to the movie, but in addition of being uncomfortable to put in, I simply don't like how they've been done. Looks better in this way to me.
Difference in color between the head, body and cape in reality are not that visible. Or rather, the head that i liked more is the less shiny of the bunch and perfectly blends with the body. The others are shinier, but it's something hard to see.
Anyway, this thing looks GREAT once displayed.

In addition, it's more difficult to posing than I thought, especially with regard to the legs and feet.

I agree with everything, except with the unmasked Bale sculpt.
My friends say it looks like him, but I don't see Bale.
Maybe it's just that I'm too familiar with how Bale looks like in the movies.
DX12's Bale is much much better.

You'd think in hand the sculpt would look better. Nope. It's a joke imo.

I hated the Wayne head when the official pics came out, but Maglor's pics made it look really good. Of course, it could have to do with the fact that the inaccurate parts were cloaked in shadow. Lighting makes one hell of a difference. When I do get this guy, though. I doubt that the BW head will see the light outside of the box but once (when I take everything out to look at it). I will have no use for it because of those amazing cowls.

Nice!Is that the stock cape? How did you get it wrapped around him like that?
Interesting to read this because for me (and bare in mind I dont own this Enterbay figure) when I look at say yours and Rory's pictures of both figures it's the DX12 that looks more impressive to me
(I do own the DX12 btw)
Always seems to be something stopping me from pressing the buy button on this Enterbay figure
