I cancelled mine. Realized I didn't like this movie enough to buy a half-assed version of the character.

He always looked fine with the coat on.

For some reason, in-person pics are always better than the protos with HT.

Pants are still WAY too tight! Gotta get some sag in those bad boys.

I'll reserve judgement until I get this figure in hand. There were so many complaints about DX12 before people got it in hand. Admittedly I was one of them, and I have learned my lesson. Even if some mods need to be made I'm ok with that actually. I mean, really for the money that we pay they should come perfect but I had a lot of fun modding the DX12. I don't see so far though any reason to mod this figure. The body may look small but Tom Hardy wasn't that big either. A lot of it was trick of the light and catching him at certain angles. The clothes, well, if they don't fix it it's not a deal breaker but that would be a little disappointing since it's such a small detail.

The funny thing was, the first time I saw Hardy in the trailers, I thought he actually looked more lean instead of bulky (in other words, he came across as more of an agile fighter than a hulking type). So when I compared it to the figure, I thought the figure looked fairly accurate and I was pretty happy with what Hot Toys did. It was only more recently under great scrutiny and from fans pointing out little details that I felt convinced that he doesn't look right. I'll admit that I don't find the clothes and body-type to be a deal-breaker. The clothes, while not obviously inaccurate, certainly matches some of the way that the harsh lighting reflected his clothes in the film, specifically during the sewer fight.

It's mostly obvious during the segment where Bane and Batman are around the lower bridge as Batman throws the smoke pellets at Bane's face. The way the harsh light reflects Bane's outfit very much resembles the colors on the Hot Toys figure (and I honestly wouldn't be surprised if they based his colors on those shots). It's the same way with how companies have constantly painted the Aliens from ALIENS with a blue palette, despite the fact that the actual suits themselves were actually colored a bony brown. While obviously not perfect, the fact that the outfit most certainly represents Bane's look in a specific yet plausible way prevents it from being a huge issue for me.

One again....I dont want Hardy. I want BANE. It doesnt matter what he looked like in reality, I want a figure of exactly how he appeared in the movie.

he looks like bane in the move to me. yes, the body could be a bit beefier in the traps, but with the coat on it it doesn't matter.

if you want him to just look pretty on the shelf without a coat, you could get a bigger body for him, but i don't think he needs it.

he looks great in the newest pic. I still wish he had double jointed arms similiar to DX10 so we could do the most well know pose of holding the vest.

Then again its a double edged sword i won't display him without the jacket and therefore don't care about the joints, but others who are going to pose without the jacket might care.

think i may put a PO in for him after all just simply to display with DX12.

I believe someone tried it out with a truetype body that has the same articulation on the elbows and he/she definitely pulled off the now-iconic boss pose with it.

Really? i haven't really followed this thread since back when the fig was announced. Its definitely one of the only poses i want to do

Hot Toys fanboy.

You know what's funny about this forum? If you say you like a figure as it is, you're a fanboy. If you say a figure benefits from a modification, you're ruining the hobby.

I can go both ways depending on the figure/character, so I'm damned from both sides.

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

And if you give an objective opinion about a figure that isn't positive, you get bashed too.

It goes both ways

Yeah, that's what I'm saying.

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

Haha, it does read that way.
Me, I don't mod, except building scratch figures for the extra heads (if that counts).
Bane, as is, I like it. Already designing the Bats unit to be two tiers now, to accommodate this, The Cat and Joker 2.0.
Hopefully all three will be out by March !

Oh, the coat sleeves look 1/8" too long, canceling my pre-order.

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

The only things I can say about this release being "inaccurate" is the piping on the mask, the coat not being the proper length and the straps on the chest being misaligned
