Bane looks really cool, but I'm passing on him. Maybe after the movie I'll change my mind.

Easy pass! Nice base!

While it is worth pointing out I think Bane's design in the movie looks incredibly stupid anyway, this figure seems to be quite accurate. I will agree though that in general it just looks rather underwhelming. He doesn't seem very buff which in turn makes him not very intimidating either. The real killer is the lack of accessories. It's missing everything he should have and instead they threw in some weathered piece of plastic for a base.

My issue will be the price tag. Something like this really shouldn't exceed $160, but knowing Hot Toys he could easily be anywhere from $180 all the way to $210, which is insane. If he was actually reasonably priced then I would say this is a pretty fair release. It is like the Hot Toys Angelica figure. They are both solid decent releases, but by now means impressive. We are used to a higher level of quality from Hot Toys these days. Both figures look like something they would have made in 2008 or maybe 2009.

I wish someone who has seen the movie already could hint at whether Bane has a much greater arsenal in the movie than the long-sleeve shirt and gauntlet that comprises HT Bane's cornucopia of accessories.

Let me get this right. People complain so much about rubber bodies cracking and breaking and we get one without and now we complain about joints being seen lolz

Looks decent

The cheaper the better. Whatever accessories (and by extension, dollar signs) Bane is missing will be more than made up for by the sheer amount of products headed our way.

Could it come with fewer accessories?

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

LOL at people _____ing about not it being able to do the "like a boss" pose and it's exposed joints.

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

Whenever I see this pose, I'm reminded of this:

I think it looks pretty much how I expected. Not bad but not exciting. I was hoping there might be some spoiler related accessories.

I have to watch the movie (in 48 hours! ) before I decide on him.
If i walk out of the theatre at 3:30am thinking Bane is the baddest MoFo ever, then I will probably pick him up

But right now I will probably rather spend my $$ on Lt Gordon.

If I do not get Bane I would still like to have the broken mask.

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

I wonder if he could pull off his "like a boss" pose? It might explain why he isn't as bulky as he should be. Perhaps they were seeking the happy medium in terms of how he'd look "suited up" and in "beatdown mode"?

Just straight off the top of my head from trailers & promos, what about the following accessories -
switch out arms with double-jointed elbows (for collar-grabbing pose)
picture of Harvey Dent
headset/microphone from stadium scene
walkie-talkie or remote detonator from stadium scene...

Any of this would elevate this figure beyond its current, almost vanilla, form.

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

Wow, very bummed about this. Hot Toys has had me excited for almost half a year on this figure, and just wow. Im completely underwhelmed at how ehhh this came out. So let me get this straight...

Hands are too big for the body, coat is the wrong shade/not aged enough, arms are far too skinny, vest and pants arent aged at all, pads on the vest are the wrong color and the whole vest itself is very toy-looking, and for some reason theres light blue on the pants.

Plus not to mention the huge mistake Hot Toys made when they took all the promo pictures without his gauntlet or the brown shirt which should show underneath the vest when he's wearing his coat.

And to top it all off the thing comes with 4 hands and a broken cowl and they're calling it "accessories". And no...the shirt and glove should not be part of those. Inaccuracies aside, this figure should only be worth $160 at the most, but we all know that they're gonna charge out the ass at $200 or more. Its like they just didnt try with this, and for some reason built it up since like February.

The headsculpt is beyond superb, but Im just left with a bad taste in my mouth. I dont really know if this is a buy for me or not. Ill have to decide after seeing pictures taken by someone else.

Im sorry whine but Im just pissed at this.
