I'm going to when I actually have something to show. Luckily, I've gotten pretty handy with a needle and thread as of late so I'm pretty sure I can pull them off

Custom leather strap
Of course they would require a bit of modding. They are a bit large, but you can trim off the edges to reduce their size a bit. The other benefit is that they give bane some height so that he is taller.
I don't think the HT ones are that bad, just wish they didn't look plastic, and had the top buckle

Those are nice, but the sculpted boot looks more in scale. And the HT boots are certainly more accurate then those.

Re: Hot Toys – MMS183 - The Dark Knight Rises: Bane Collectible Figure
Pretty much. On repeat viewings, it feels like Bane is doing a lot of things of his own accord, and while Talia certainly planned to blow up Gotham, all of the torment thrown at Bruce seemed more like a personal vendetta on Bane's part than necessarily to do with Talia's revenge.
If anything, Talia was more like the one who simply provided the means (the bomb) as well as access to Wayne Enterprises, and Bane pretty much just went through all the plan almost as if to pamper her considering how she hates Bruce for killing Ra's Al Ghul. In that regard, Bane probably respected Ra's Al Ghul as Talia's father and his savior from The Pit, and that's what fuels him to torment Bruce.
That final act of defiance on Bane's part where he decides to kill Batman on his own sure as hell shows how Bane was really mainly targeting Batman based on some twisted personal vendetta.
In that regard, the fact that Talia never planned to reveal herself shows how passive she is towards the whole thing as Bane ran the whole show. It was only when Batman came back and Bane's plan had failed that she finally stepped in to rush the whole plan of blowing up Gotham (since it was meant to go off much later if I recall). I wouldn't be surprised if the whole "torture of Bruce's soul", the revolution, and the prolonged dictatorship to torment Gotham was all Bane, since Talia seemed more inclined to just blow up the city.
Do you really believe that Talia orchestrated the plane attach? I don't.
Do you really believe that Talia mapped out the hit on the stock exchange? I don't.
Do you think it's just a ruse when Bane says: "I am the League of Shadows"? I don't.
Did he care deeply about Talia? Yes. Was Talia an evil genius, avenging her fathers death? Of course. But how do those two facts imply in any easy that Bane was 'just a henchman'?
Bane was a tactical mastermind and he believed in the ideals of the LoS. They worked together... Once and for all.

I'm sure she was meant to have been involved with everything, but one thing I noticed in the stock exchange scene is when the two guys are getting their shoes shined a woman walks by them and heads in. Back turned so we never see her face and I was thinking that might be Talia. Not sure why she would have been there, but I feel like that's what was implied by that scene.

I respectfully disagree. Her status and public appearance would clearly be put into too much of a risky situation with this. Her role was the mole/insider... the "slow knife cuts deepest" deal. The smallest chance of her on a security camera (Alfred showing Bruce) would have ruined that aspect of the plan.
Bane was autonomic 90% of the time... free to take the route he desired as long as the destination matched Talia's.

I love when Bane talks about how Bruce betrayed the LOS and then Batman says how Bane was ex-communicated by a gang of psychopaths. Bane, holding Batman by the neck, pauses for a moment and then unleashes two furious punches to his back or ribs. I think that reveals where his hatred of Bruce comes from. When he sees that Bruce took the opportunity of being in the LOS and threw it back in their faces it angers him deeply because it's something that he wanted in the worst way, but had it taken away from him. So I think knowing Bruce took something he always wanted and rejected it and practically destroyed it in the process is where his hatred comes from.

Imagine being in love with the prom queen and the prom king cheating on her and treating her like dirt... insignificant, tossed away carelessly.
Thats how Bane views Bruce's treatment of the League of Shadows. Bruce had everything Bane wanted... he was Ra's "greatest student" and was to be by Ducard's side to change the world... not Bane. Bane wanted approval, acceptance and he cannot achieve that due to the death of Ducard in Batman Begins so instead he does the next best thing... fulfilling the destiny.

Yea, I'm certaily not 100% sure if it's meant to be her or not. It just felt like the woman walking by was meant to be a person of interest and not just a random person walking by. Certainly could be wrong, though.

Wouldn't it have been nice if they spent some time on that instead of the 99% crap? Or why Bane wears what he does? Or how about how pain is associated with fear in major ways, especially since Bane symbolizes pain...if only there was a character that represents fear to make that connection......oh well at least they had two backyard wrestling fights that looked faker than a bad boob job.

The entire debate over which is more of a villain for Batman of Bane versus the Joker is irrational. They're different threats.
Joker is an agent of chaos. No real rhyme or reason "I just do...things..."
Bane is completely the opposite. He is a tactician, every move is carefully calculated with redundancies for his redundancy. He has the exact training that Batman does and therefore can think like he does "Theatricality and deception are powerful agents to the uninitiated... but we are initiated, aren't we Bruce? Member of the League of Shadows."
They're opposite and pose different threats. For those saying "pssh, Bane... whatever." Well consider this... he accomplished what Joker never did.

To me, and this is just my opinion, Nolan used this move to complete the circle. The first movie was Bruce Wayne finding himself, finding his purpose and that comprised of his journey with the League of Shadows and betraying them for Gotham.
The second movie focused mainly on Gotham and escalation (much like Gordon's speech at the end of the first film). The mob turned to the Joker, the Joker ruined the brightest symbol of hope Gotham had in Dent, and Batman because the hero the city deserved. It was more about Gotham and it's influence on it's citizens than anything else.
The third movie brought the focus back onto Bruce's journey. His exile, his dilapidated state which all leads to Bane breaking him as revenge from the events in Batman Begins. It wasn't a story for Bane and Talia (like how The Dark Knight was more for Joker, Dent and Gotham) it was for Bruce's journey coming to an end.

Well, I'm fine with the movie as is so I don't feel that there's much they should have done instead. I will say I'm surprised they didn't really explain Bane's mask. All the technical aspects of Batman's arsenal were explained to death in all three films so I would have thought there would have been an explanation for Bane's mask. I guess they thought less was more, though.

It supplies him with an anesthetic. Not to be snarky (really, just a question here) but what more did you need?
I realize that came off with an attitude, please don't think I had one, I am honestly asking what more was required. He was in constant pain due to the morphine addicted haphazard work of the prison doctor. The mask is a means "to keep the pain at bay."
