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

[Voorhees27]

I can't believe I just wasted 2 mins of my life reading the last 2 pages, the cape is too thick????????????????

The 2 Bats and Joker ARE THEY 1/6 figures of 2008......................pfffffft cape is too thick.......................

 

[EVILFACE]

Does this figure receive Evil's stamp of approval? I'd hope Joker doesn't.

Once in hand, I'll let you know

 

[MaulFan]

Or get Captain Faramir to make you one

(man, got to use that joke in two threads )

Ok, I keep hearing whispers and I'm curious, not trying to stir things up, but did something go wrong with his offering of Boromir cloaks or something, to hear of Cap F in bad light around here is the most perplexing thing I've read on this board ever, last thing I'd ever expect.

Well, almost everything with the exception of the belt which isn't screen accurate.

I have said it before and I will say it again.. "its a bloody figure for christ sake" Movie accurate this... and movie accurate that,BLAH BLAH BLAH.......Fair dinkum nothings ever right for some is it................

I'm glad I'm not as detail oriented as some collectors He really looks good and too me is close enough to no notice anything weird, so he'll be a worthy addition.

Well said galactiboy......................

I guess you missed this whole business? It's sad really.

Well I would not buy anything from him.

Yeah, an expensive figure at that, not Mattel's 6 inchers. Doesn't seem to make sense that they will strive to make the whole suit as screen accurate as possible at all aspects but leave the belt out of it. And a very glaring mistake at that. But that's just me and my 2 cents opinion. Make no mistake, I still think that it's a good piece of work and I look forward to receiving mine.

What was the problem with the belt again?

 

[noisetrigger]

As per MINIATURE-ART request, here are some pics showing off the neck articulation.

Nothing like Takara's no doubt but no more and no less than what Bale can do in the actual suit either.

 

[Voorhees27]

My God is that sculpt just amazing!

The batarangs shouldn't be showing on the left side of the belt. It should be one of those compartment boxes. The new suit's belt has it correct thou, based on the latest pictures. This isn't a big issue, but it's little stuff like this that differentiates between a good figure and an excellent one.

Actually, I don't think there is a specific spot where the batarangs, compartments etc should be on his belt. I think Batman's utility belt is "modular" or customizable.

If you paid close attention in "Batman Begins", all the batarangs were placed on a holder which is then "clipped" onto the belt.

All the figures I've seen so far have the holster/clip for the grappling gun at the back of the belt. However, if you watch "The Dark Knight" during the scene where he jumps off the multi storey car park and lands on the van, his grappling gun is just dangling on his belt, like how a lightsaber hangs off a Jedi's belt in the Star Wars movies.

So I think, customizable belt in movie, but hard to translate to 1/6th

very true... and actually if you pay attention at the end of batman begins he places a holster for the batnaranges on the left side... when hes gearing up to fight in the narrows.

These photos made me break down and order from studiosunny. Damn you sir, and double damn you from my girlfriend and the wrath I will receive when she finds out!
Oh who am I kidding

Now I look at my original HT BB and I say "Why can't you be like your younger brother?"
