Hot Toys – MMS183 The Dark Knight Rises Bane Figure

Re: Hot Toys – MMS183 - The Dark Knight Rises: Bane Collectible Figure

Really bummed on how ugly that under sweatshirt looks. I was really hoping it would look good because that's how I was planning on displaying him.

Actually, I think that'll end up looking fine. It looks lousy in that one picture ... but it isn't even on right. Put one arm under the wristguard (as it should be), and that will improve it A LOT. Slight 'futzing' should work well enough ... or even soak it to weigh it down a bit. I don't think there will be any problem with it.

Bigger issue is the size of Hardy's traps and neck. This figure looks great with the coat on, and will probably look fine with the sweater on ... but the vest-only version just doesn't look quite bulky enough. I assume a shirtless version would be even worse. Shame. Sculpt is great, and it would be great to have that kind of versatility. Arms actually look pretty close to me ... but the traps, neck and chest need more bulk.

Spoiler tag that ____.

Chill. It was action figures.

Besides if I go back and spoiler tag it for you it's still in your quote box. ____.

Yeah. People are really getting hung up on the sweater aren't they. I think it can be fixed.

Man, I guess I've lost my touch tonight. My posts used to ooze bubbly sarcasm that members could pick up on.


I have failed.

No, maybe I have. Didn't pick up on it.

He really does look awesome with the coat on. Might do the Harvey Dent photo pose.

Was thinking of picking up a 1/6 headset and posing him like he is in the football arena.

Wait for the DX!

Given how bare bones on accessories this is ... it really should come with a 1/6 headset.

Too late I did. I was going to wait too. I figure I could get this figure just in case the new one didn't get any better. If it does, then, like most folks on this forum, sell what I have to get the new one. I just couldn't not get it then not like the 2.0 version and then be mad at myself for skipping out.

I'm weak. I admit it.

Still wishing there was some way to get him in the boss pose. Someone will figure it out.

Remove the forearms and bend the elbows closer to his chest. You risk breaking the body doing that (removing the arms is apparently difficult) and then you need to find away for the forearms/hands to stay clutching his jacket and not being pulled straight down by gravity. I might try that too.

Njits, it's ironic of you to post a GIF of Harvey Dent when telling me to wait for the DX.

If you modify your figure so that it can only do one pose (and requires assembly or extreme manipulation to change it again), then you might as well just get a statue, not an action figure.

Have to agree with haytil, can't see doing that mod just for the one pose...even if he does do it constantly throughout the film

I got it.

It's not my fault he can be surly at times. I wasn't sure which Difabio I was getting.

I thought people settled on that there won't be a DX Bane, or have I missed something?

I'd bet money that there won't be a DX Bane.
