The problem we face is that Hot Toys has exclusive rights to TDKR, so no one else can release a Bane 1/6 until HT's license expires.

I am forced to pre-order this mediocre release because of that monopoly, and will again resort to customizing/modding to get the ultimatr Bane look.

How are they forcing you? If you don't like it, don't buy it. Wait till another version or somone else puts one out.

Just saw the movie yesterday, want this figure for sure but it's not nearly as big as he was in the film, hope he gets redone or nodded before release

Maybe the term "forcing" was a bit strong.. I should've used leaves me with no choice, as that's what the situation presents. :wave

If you ain't happy, pass on it. That is what I do.

I want a Hulk figure, but if HT one doesn't have any more articulation that they are showing, I'll pass.
 
Re: Hot Toys – MMS183 - The Dark Knight Rises: Bane Collectible Figure

Too late though :slap I'll definitely pass on Catwoman though, as I can't afford the accompanying Batpod.

Now a Ra's Al Ghul would be awesome :clap

Selina Kyle looks nice, but I like the SS Catwoman better.

A HT Ra's I would get.

As I mentioned before I enjoyed Tom Hardy's performance TOO much not to order this. Do I hope the corrections get made? Of course. Is it going to change my mind? Likely not- purchased.
 
Re: Hot Toys – MMS183 - The Dark Knight Rises: Bane Collectible Figure

That's what I'm wondering. It's more than just improving small things at this point, they need to completely redo most of the figure. The only thing that should be left alone is the headsculpt - other than that, Hot Toys needs to go back to the drawing board & hope they've listened to all the complaints.

:exactly: :goodpost:

The reason the gauntlet is detachable is probably because the shirt goes under the gauntlet, the best way to do that is to detach put on shirt and then attach.

so what about the closed fists ? he never took the gauntlet off, hot toys rushed this fig so much gutted,

It simply a design choice made by HT to make the gauntlet one piece from his forearm to his hand with no seams. Not to mention it looks more realistic. Not sure I'd call that rushing.

How would you do it if you have to include different hands?

While I do agree with you, they could have sculpted the part of the gauntlet onto the fist, and then given us a second gauntlet that functioned more like a cuff to place over the bottom of the forearm. It would have been a bit noticeable that the full gauntlet was made from two different materials and was two pieces, but it would have served the purpose.

Yes I can see that. But making it molded is still a compromise in a different direction. Then you'd have people complaining that his glove should've been one piece and the molded plastic looks fake because it doesn't match the cuff. Point is you can't please everyone and the gauntlet is the last thing I would notice to say this figure was "rushed".

He only has it off during the prologue plane scene. He has it on the rest of the film after that. And the pane outfit is just his normal outfit except he's just wearing a black shirt instead of any vest or coat. Another simple outfit they could inlcude in THIS release by just adding another shirt. Come to think of it, I think ALL of his outfits have the same pants. He just changes his tops :lol
 
Re: Hot Toys – MMS183 - The Dark Knight Rises: Bane Collectible Figure

DX Bane will come with all of his outfits, and a walk-in closet diorama. :lecture
 
Re: Hot Toys – MMS183 - The Dark Knight Rises: Bane Collectible Figure

just canceled this due to how insulting this attempt is to me. i have no doubt there will be a DX.
 
Re: Hot Toys – MMS183 - The Dark Knight Rises: Bane Collectible Figure

Looking at the other TDKR Bane collectibles out there, Bane also has small-biceps proportions in this statue:

Is it possible that our eyes are being cheated, and Bane has enhanced biceps/triceps within the movie? Or we just expect him to be bulkier because his character is being derived from a very hulky comic book character?

:slap I pre-ordered Bane, but I do hope they increase his bicep/tricep size/width! :tap
 
Re: Hot Toys – MMS183 - The Dark Knight Rises: Bane Collectible Figure

Ok, nevermind.. I saw another angle from movie screencaps:

The HT figure is indeed movie accurate, and I now wait for my pre-order with peace of mind. :clap
I don't mind if the colors of the clothing are slightly different.
