Hot Toys 1/6th scale BATMAN (Original Suit) Photo thread

[MaulFan]

Agreed but tbh I think he looks just as intimidating in the TDK suit as he did in the OC from Begins. Especially in the interogation scene when he's beating up the Joker. I think it has to do with the eyes: the whites seem EXTRA bright while everything else is black. So they pop and look kinda spooky.

Facially yes, I meant like the whole thing. One thing I love about Begins is all of the shots of him perched like a Gargoyle, between the cape size and the way he wrapped himself in it, the whole costume just had this animal quality to it, like was it a man or what. The TDK costume, while intimidating, is clearly a man, but a very lethal one.

Your all nutz the DX 02 will blow the OC Batman out of the water... An I dont even have OC Batman but I want him though...

You have to understand, many people are referring to the quality of the suit not the figure. DX might be a superior figure, but it's the appearance of the Begins suit vs the TDK suit that many are referring to and that feeling won't change.

We won't be able to say for certain which one is better until the figure comes out. That is still SEVERAL months away.

That said, I really didn't like the Robo-Batman suit from the Dark Knight, but I'm still gonna get the DX.

Anemal! I love it as well.

Indeed.

I love the overall sleekness to the suit.

I don't like the gloves of the Begins suit. Except the underside.

Don't like the logo but it suits it well for the shape. It certainly wouldn't look right with the current logo on there.

I prefer the logo thats on TDK chest.

Love the way the light hits the Begins chest, so smooth and daunting overall. So aggressively mean.

Love the gloves of TDK suit.

Love the pants of TDK suit.

However... I don't think the neck is too long to be honest.

The neck seems too long on the figure mainly because it's more upright, and where Bale was often in crouched positions, particularly shots where you'd see the neck, it's not what we're used to seeing. Looking at some promo shots, the figure matches up pretty well.

The figure, for it's time, is still a phenomenon imho. It could really benefit from the details and quality HT have superceded themselves with of late, but as it is, it's pretty dead on

 

[MaulFan]

I don't think there's really anything you can enhance on the figure that's a matter of HT's quality growth, I think made today you'd pretty much get the same thing, the only things really open for tweaking would be things like the size of the cape which is a matter of do or don't, but they've been capable for a long time.

If I ever get this figure, I'm putting the Takara head on it.

You'll have to cut a hole into the bottom of the Takara head to fit it onto the HT neck adapter.

Oh yeah, for sure, i mean if they had never made the original though, and released this now. Better cape material, more realistic looking eye/makeup area, and better paint app on the mouth/skin area with their new texture

............ oh wait ......... Edward .......... nevermind.

After the last picture, I agree. The neck isn't too long.

That would ruin it

Isn't there a plug though?

 

[MaulFan]

Takara uses a small, cone-shaped connector on it's neck to attach the head, HT uses a ball that's about double as wide overall as the Takara connector, you'll have to cut out some of the opening on the Takara head to get it to fit on.

Another thing you might run into is that the Takara head might sit too high on the HT neck and the shoulder piece of the cowl from the Takara may be flopping around between the head and body, it might not be a good fit, or it could even go the other way and not be enough room between the head and body for the other piece of the Takara cowl and then you'll have to trim something else or figure a way to extend the HT neck.

It is not a simple swap.

Hmmm. I just really don't like the HT mouth area And the cowl/neck looks kind of odd, but I really love the suit.

 

[EVILFACE]

............ oh wait ......... Edward .......... nevermind.

No joke. The Takara head looks like Mattel compared to HT's.

 

[villainsfan42]

That would ruin it

no kidding? it's called sarcasm. the quality of the takara batman head and the quality of the medi joker head are both cheap looking ???? compared to the realistic looking hot toys heads...did i really have to explain that to you?

You can try it if you want, just know it's probably going to take you some work, it's not just a matter of popping one head on instead of the other.

Does anyone think there "might" be a DX Original costume bats? I really hope there is, that would be cool with pers and the interchangable mouth pieces. But if i had the original i wouldn't be saying this since I missed out on it lolz
