Hot Toys – MMS183 The Dark Knight Rises Bane Figure

[blckbrr7]

Quick question: What are my options for achieving the "boss" pose with this guy? Do I have to pick up a TTM20 or is there a generic muscle body out there that has double jointed elbows? I'd love to avoid spending $80 on a body that I'd just need for arms....

Interested to know too...

Odin's body. Got mine for like $45.

The arm swap is what most people were doing so you can retain the original Bane torso with the scar. If you're not concerned with that and just want a body that'll work without any Frankensteining, I'd say look into the Last Stand Wolvie or Colton (same body). It has the soft torso and the double jointed arms are the closest to the TTM20 size, in terms of buffness

Cheers fellas! Much appreciated.

I'll look around

Just wanna be sure a TTM20 will do fine, right?

I heard there were issues with the pants fitting on one, but I'm not 100% sure... I was going that route too but ended up w/ the Odin look and it is perfect!

Alright! Thanks, mate!

Yea, apparently the TTM's butt is too big for the bane pants . I still have a TTM20 lying around that I was going to use for my bane, but I may use it for a 2nd BD T1 Terminator now.

What do you guys think of this - https://www.ebay.com.my/itm/CUSTOM-...0800?pt=US_Action_Figures&hash=item1e818bf070

It would be too small for Bane. It's like a TTM19.

 

[blckbrr7]

^ Thanks, mate.

So uhh.. HT Wolverine Origins body will work fine... right?

 

[dw316]

Not sure with that one. I and another member here went with Odin.

any pictures? I was thinking to do the same

I posted a few pages back. These are with the Odin body where you can achieve the "boss" pose, which I'm assuming you're going for?

They're right about the TTM20; the butt and thighs are way too big to get the pants on. The Hitfigure and Wolverine Origins bodies are essentially the same as a TTM19. They won't work for what you're trying to do because the have single jointed arms (elbows).

Doing the arm swap with a stock Bane body is the best way to go because you keep the scared torso and adding double jointed arms is what allows you to do the boss pose. If that's not an option or you're just looking for 1 body that you don't have to alter at all, I'd suggest the Wolverine Last Stand or the G.I. Joe Colton (same body). DW's looks good on the Odin body and if you can get that body on the cheap then you may want to go that route. Personally I think that the Odin arms are too skinny and the Wolvie & Colton arms are the closest you're going to find to the same girth as the arms on the Bane stock body

Thanks, mate. Caught an Odin body the other day. Was selling for $50. Should have gone for it ah!

yeah, exactly what I'm going for. I was afraid the Odin body was not bulky enough. But that looks real good. Thanks DW

 

[dw316]

PopcultKid is right about the arms being skinny compared to those other 2. The other bodies were more expensive so I'm opted for a $45 Odin body since I was planning on covering the arms anyhow with the shirt and jacket and I didn't want a tight fit on the arms and go thru the trouble of futzing around to get both layers to fit through as I did on the regular Bane arms before, so the skinnier arm does help in that department... heh Easier to dress him.

Sorry guys but can I use the body for HT Christopher Reeve Superman?
