Oh crap have we started the take over already!?!?

 

[EVILFACE]

Not yet. There is no African American Ripcord figure from SS. . . .yet!!

This looks quite accurate. Looks like the Takara gauntlets.

I quite like it to be honest.

It's good to practice every now and then... You never know when SS will piss us off with another trooper variant.

It looks like the Takara cape as well. Beautiful figure.

Those gauntlets look deadly accurate, I barely even noticed the HT version was inaccurate in its finish / contrast to the rest of the suit until i saw the above pic. Looks brilliant

doesnt it look a bit too shiny for some reason?

 

[Jesse_nz]

is it me or does it look like the cowl has been chopped up a little bit around the sides??

I think it's just that he's put the fabric of the cape over the cowl rather than underneath it - I think it was like that in some of the Batman Begins scenes and/or promo shots.

Not a huge fan of the shiny gauntlets - they might be more screen accurate but I prefer the more uniform finish of the figure.

No he did cut the rubber around the cowl.

 

[Wor-Gar]

This is still the best Batman figure ever!

I'm lucky to have grabbed one for myself when they first came out.

I like the detail on the DX TDK suit, but I'm just not a real fan of that particular design for Batman.

I like to emphasize the "Dark" in The Dark Knight, not so much the "Knight" part.

How do you keep the suit shiny black? I have the figure in a Deltof in the media room. It isn't exposed to natural light or temperature variances but it looks dried out

it was a bit dusty, but I use lint roller to roll all the dust off, and the rubber suit looks shinny again
