So I just unboxed my Bane...and one of the pipes on his mask was broken (bottom left, on his chin). Seriously, it feels like if I breath on these figures they'll break. There was also some fluffy crap stuck on the broken cowl, and when I took it off it left a tiny chip in the paint. It's hardly noticeable though unless you look right up close in direct light...can always touch it up with flat black paint.
On top of that, I got my second DX12 in as well, as my first one had defects, and guess what? Yep, this one has defects too. Bruce sculpt has a white dot just under his lower lip and a black dot to the left of that. Not sure if there are any other defects, I didn't check the rest of the set. Got p!$$ed off, put the Bruce head back in the box and packed everything up.
On a positive note, Bane does look pretty awesome in hand. I was much more impressed with this than the DX12. Everything looks great. For some reason though these figures seem to suffer from 'no a$$ syndrome'. When I look at them from side-on, it looks like they have no a$$! WTF? Looks really noticeable on Bane as his pants are quite tight, which doesn't really look bad from the front as you can futz them pretty good, but from the side it just looks funny lol.
I agree bane kicked *** in the movie. Only thing I didn't like about the movie was how he died lol.
Debating on the coat off or on look. I want to display him with the coat off holding the broken cowl like he just kicked Batman's *** but I love the realism without the exposed joints. Will see tomorrow I guess.
Please keep them coming!
