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

[EVILFACE]

Save your pennies cause I don't see a DX happening, we would have seen it by now.

Next movie rolls around will have a new suit to milk.

 

[galactiboy]

I've already owned 2 OC suits... don't need to track down a 3rd

And honestly; the 2nd release kicked all kinds of *** so I don't feel the need to upgrade. Just glad I was able to get him for retail

I don't think HT could get away with another Begins suit Batman right now, there's no significant room for improvement over this one. At least with the TDK suit figure, they vastly improved on the v1, which was also noticably flawed from day one, so it was deemed acceptable. Maybe in a few years they could release the Begins suit again with new tricks they learn, much like Begins suit 2005 vs 2008.

I think the only reason they did the new OC suit was because it was in TDK.

Once again, wookster said last summer Hot Toys wont be revisiting it.
Funny that this keeps on coming up on and on, the figure is over a year old.

I guess that means Hot Toys can never change their mind, for fear of contradicting one of Wookster's previous statements.

The reason it keeps coming up is because the demand is there.

It's only because it's the ones that don't have it that keep bringing it up.

 

[EVILFACE]

Snooze ya looze!!!!

 

[MaulFan]

It was a less produced figure too, no DCD batch, and I'm not sure they didn't produce less of it anyway just to keep from competing with the TDK suit figure or thinking not many people would want it with the new suit being the primary one of the film. I think part of why they did it was a bit of ego, I'm sure they probably caught the ammount of favor and hype for the Takara, the Begins costume reappeared in TDK, and so, they decide to make another one to be the best figure of the Begins costume and get the cash from it, win win.

I've got it, and I'd like to see a DX. Or maybe even a reissue of the original just for those who missed it the first time round, like Takara did.

Of course, that would annoy those who buy figures as an investment, but maybe they'd be better off buying rare Barbie dollies anyway.

Since this one is so hard to get these days does anyone know which begins suit is the next best thing?? Tamara? Medicom?

 

[galactiboy]

I think Takara would be the next best option... still a very good figure.

 

[MaulFan]

Yup, that's why I had bought Takara, before this figure, it seemed the best of all the Begins Batman figures out there.

 

[vodoun]

Is that still even available now? I bought the re-issue back in August 08.

Neither. Buy a DX Batman, allow it to fulfill your need for a good 1/6 Batman figure, and convince yourself that you don't need a BB suit figure and wait for the next best one.

 

[Cap'n Cook]

I would opt for the Takara after this.

LOL. I would but I already have a OC Batman. I'm looking for a BB Batman to go with my Tumbler and maybe a TDK to go with my Batpod. I love how the Medicom TDK looks so I'm getting that one but the BB's in existence don't look half as good as the OC Batman. So I'm not sure what to do. I may just put the TDK Batman with the Tumbler and have the Batpod stand alone.

I have the DX Batman standing with my HT Superman and the HT OC Batman, TDK, and Takara Batman (First Night Out) standing side by side in a display.

You solved your own problem. No need to get yet another Batman just as an accessory to the vehicle.

 

[SanShouXMA]

Yeah but it would look so nice with it don't you think?

 

[vodoun]

No, a figure on the Pod is only good looking with photos from the likes of, neo. Not for display purposes. Just looks like a toy riding the Pod. Looks more elegant on it's own or a figure standing behind it with the Pod angled.
