Hot Toys – MMS183 The Dark Knight Rises Bane Figure

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

Well Ive had the figure for 24 hours now and I really only have one problem with him, he's too small. Not so much the build, but his height. Next to Batman DX12 he's a solid inch shorter (batmans base is taller).

I know its accurate to the movie, Hardy is shorter than Bale, and they kind of faked his height in the movie by using a lot of underneath angles of him, having him stand on boxes at times like the Dagget and sewer scenes, but part of me wishes they didnt try to be TOO realistic with him, and make him appear a little more like he does in the movie, so make him maybe an inch taller.

But yeah I know this is a 1/6 scale 12" figure so I get it, its just when I look at him on my shelf and see BANE as the same size a the Joker, it just doesnt sit right with me.

Decided to switch my figure out with the jacket but like a lot of people here I'm gonna have to do something about the skinny pants.

Really like that display! Very cool cases. Maybe I'll do something like that when I finally get a man cave assembled.

That sucks buddy , i hope you sraighten it out

I just canceled with sideshow and ordered with bbts, I checked this morning and sideshow still has'nt even charged me yet, however bbts has already and is now paid and in the warehouse. The other benifit is the bbts will pack it well in another box as sideshow ships it in the shipper box an alway tends to get beat-up.

The other thing is I don't like the way ss is working there orders lately, no kinda order to it, they used to ship out the door in 24, now its when or if they feel like it. There website says its in-stock yet they also state it will ship in 1-2 weeks after order is placed

Its just seems to much like the dx12 bull **** they pulled with alot of people, big turnoff. We wait 6 months to a year for these figures to release, then for a company to jerk people around and leave them in limbo after placing orders don't inspire me to do business with them.

I'll only use them for the occassional exclusive going forward.

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

Got mine yesterday. Nice figure but man, those pants are a huge...wtf. Bane wore skinny pants? Since when? Good job HT! Way to **** up an otherwise great figure.

In other news I told my friend I had a 12 inch Bane and he blushed...

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

I got him!!
But i think my Sideshow orders are cursed because my last 4 or 5 orders had defects.
This time i noticed that the non gloved arm looks really strange like if someone cut something off from the wrist.

Would be nice if you guys could check yours please.

I wish CornerstoreComics would get their stuff in sooner. I just don't get how AlterEgo gets theirs before CSC when they're next door neighbors to SSC. I totally regret pre ordering Joker and Mark VII through CSC.

I think its Sideshow to be honest. They want people to have a delay with their orders from other vendors. CSC never had that before and then all of a sudden they are slower. I declare shenanigans on Sideshow.

I agree. I bet if it were up to CSC, they would jump in their delivery van and drive down to SSC and pick up all the HT figures they have on order. I can't believe that CSC barely got their City Hunter Predator from SSC and Metal Gear Snake is still listed as a pre order. They must really hate CSC.

It's not only CSC, Toy Anxiety has expressed their frustration as well. Sideshow has begun limiting the amount of products their retail partners can order from them and I suspect it is because Sideshow themselves have been losing business to their retail partners and understandably so. They tried to counter with free domestic shipping but when they have already inflated retail prices usually 20% or more above their retail partners it does nothing for customer incentive. So, they are cutting orders to try to bring business back to Sideshow but their new policies have done nothing but drive people away with NRD's and charging credit cards weeks before shipping out the actual product, in most cases, before it has even arrived in their warehouse.
