Hot Toys – MMS183 The Dark Knight Rises Bane Figure

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

The manip went a bit over-the-top.

Maybe, but it feels more like the Bane I saw on screen.

I wonder if he has any scars on his back or neck?

The manip made the neck wider than his head.

Actually no. It's the perspective. You can't see the left side of the neck in my photo manipulation, but you can see the line of his neck on the left side runs straight up along his jaw i.e. it's not wider.

Just saw the film for the third time, his neck is absolutely massive. And I really hope they include the scar down his back.

I guess the neck just looks to much like an "A" to me in your manip.

Like a Fonzy "AAAAAAAA" or just a regular "A"?

Hardy does have a pretty thick neck

He does look like a peanus.

The protection around the head totally has holes in it.

Can we also get an alternate HS with his evil tears of love?

I like how his mask looks like Darth Vader's, and his voice sounds like Darth Vader's, and how he kills someone like Darth Vader. Where did Nolan get his inspiration for this character?

Megatron from Bay's Transformers movies.

Spoiler

For the whole movie you are meant to see him as the evil mastermind, but at the end he just seems like a henchmen that Talia took advantage of.

I think he really believed in the mission of the LOS, but the character's power did feel deflated. I think if the true identity of Miranda was a real surprise (wasn't for me) that revelation would have distracted from all that. I mean, I think that was the intent.

As I said before, I need to see it again with full knowledge of where it's going. Maybe he was both a hired "gun" as well as a hired mastermind...

Deflated indeed. Good post.

I think the figure looks good, but that his costume was a bit lousy in the movie.
It's NOT a crticism of the figure, nor of the movie. I just thought his costume could have been cooler.
With the jacket on, he looked like the kind of guy you see selling old golf clubs out the back of his car boot on a sunday...

Natural look of his actual trap muscles:

In these scenes he is rolling his shoulder-blades forward which pushes up the upper trap area:

Those pictures you've been posting of Tom are outdated in terms of his body size during TDKR shooting. And I see you posted a picture of him from the Warriors movie, not TDKR.

Dedicated guy, ain't he?
"I’m at 190[lbs]. Bat-fans want me to be over 220lbs. 400lbs. I’m like dude! Batman is like Superman, Spider-Man — he belongs to so many people. So many people love him. He belongs to them, and when you step into that kind of character, you are going to fail. And be judged. I’m human, and I do read things. I read the comments, and I cry. I can’t cry for everybody. I just give them a job, and be the best that I can be. Just trust me. I trust Nolan."

Whoa,, that's a lot of exercise!

And yet HT made him look small. That's direspectful in so many ways.

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

He looks like he lost most of the weight he gained recently

Looks like his cycle is over and the water weight went away as well as most his gains

Tom Hardy was my ideal replacement after Bale in the role of Batman.

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

Tom Hardy dirty bulked. He's got plenty of fat to go along with the muscle so it makes him look a bit bloated around the mid section.

Regardless, HT just wants your money. They're not going to develop a new body just to add traps to it.

Joker ought to go over there with a big pile of money and burn them in front of HT HQ.
