Hot Toys – MMS183 The Dark Knight Rises Bane Figure

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

Looking at those pictures, I'm not even sure his arms are in the sleeves. I think the guy who made the video either switched out with really thin arms, took the muscle covers off, or may have even just removed the arms entirely and put hands on empty forearms so he had full range of motion.

There is just no way that these arms ...

... are in these sleeves ...

Looks completely different here, for instance ...

And you can see that the forearms are completely different here ...

SnakeDoc

I noticed the same thing. Im pretty sure they used wire for full rang of motion in those shots.

ACI huh? Ill have to take a look into that. Thanks
What do you mean by too big? Like just too buff in general?

Yes too buff especially his chest area. I doubt Bane's armor can fit. It's made well but I've yet to find a good use for it.

Hmm, I think I wanna get it just to try and make it work. Worst case scenario, Ill just use it for something else or sell it. Oh one more thing...how's the skin? Does it have good detail? Like as far as freckling and whatnot?

His shoulder looks like it is non-existent in that picture -- like the sleeve has fully collapsed. Looks completely different here, for instance ...

Loving the last pic.

And NOBODY sees this?!?!

I thought he looked like a deranged chipmunk but that's even better.

The poor guy looks like he's having a heart attack, or choking on shrimp.


HNNNNNNNNNNNGGGGGGGGGGGG

I imagined that in Bane-voice.
"Herllpp, Im choking on shrimpaahh!"

Detail is pretty good. Not too "veiny". Skin tone looks like it will have no problem matching with hot toys heads (caucasian vers). But like I said I've yet to use it. I gave up on my Thor project with the ACI body , which is smaller , and wouldn't fit his armor.

Thanks for the help bro. We'll have to compare notes when the figure is released next year.

You bet! I think that's why I'm not so down on this fig. I can't wait to try out and see what would work and see if we can do better. I know it's not what most would want in a sub $200 figure but it is what it is.

Exactly right. The reason he can do the much _____ed about "like a boss" pose is that he doesn't have the muscle body arms on there.

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

Is it easy to take arms on and off? Because that'd be a cool pose in the jacket. Of course I'd bulk up the sleeves to make it look like he had arms, but that's THE pose I'd want him.

Im not happy with what they're giving us, but I honestly dont feel like and dont want to wait and see if HT does another. I know with a little TLC and customizing I can get this guy perfect.

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

Depends, do you want to take the whole arm off or just the forearm?

Some arms are easier to take off than others. It was a _____ trying to swap out the T2 T-800 arm for the alternate endo arm. The Tech Noir Arnold however popped off easily. These are the forearms mind you.

If you wanted to pop out Bane's arms for better articulation I'm sure you could. I just don't think you could take off the upper arm that's connected to the shoulder joint. That might be risky.

That T2 Arnie alternate forearm pissed me off so much I just ended up selling it.

If I can get him to do the "BOSS" pose, Im doin this...

I got tons of hands in my parts bin, Ill figure something out. But thats plan B, so lets hope Plan A works.

.........but, if I do decide to get the Camo Tumbler, Ill definitely be pulling off that pose.

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

That's the pose I think I'll go with regardless.

Definitely. Ever since I saw the behind the scenes photos last year thats all I could thing of was "Gotta pose the figure like that!"

And then HT doesn't even include it.
