You don't remember P., do you?
I wouldn't really include him. His customs were/are generally just futzing, tucking in pockets and whatnot. Pretty minimalistic stuff compared to in here.

I love this figure (it's my favorite HT fig) but seeing as Keaton Bats is gonna be the next Cinemaquette, it looks like my OC Bats is about to go to the for sale section :/
Yep, intothevoid is right. If you're not interested in the scale or the fact that it's a Cinemaquette then I'd wait and see what Hot Toys has to offer with their Keaton Batman.
Plus, what would you rather have. A Hot Toys OC Batman and Hot Toys Keaton Batman or one Cinemaquette Keaton?
I must admit, i'm a pretty damn smart collector. Why I EVER sold this is beyond me.
The stock fig does look great out the box. But the mods do improve it's look...resetting the cape holds and replacing the stock HTs cape to achieve the look of the picture posted that he was commenting about.
A stock figure will not get him that look...period.
So don't go giving him the impression that his stock original Bats will look just like that

Very nice Magnuz.
I still look at photos of this figure and think man i'd love to have that...even though I do.
Very hesitant to mod it though. Just because of the price and resale aspect. I'd love him to have a custom Cape and (probably) adam's cowl sculpt.
I have both Original Costumes HT have done, the plan is, do those mods mentioned above to the 1st version, if that's good, sell the 2nd version mint
Damn...this guy looks great!!!! My only problem is that I have the Takara Batman and the head is getting re-painted by betomatali plus I'm getting a custom cape also. I have a chance to get the HT's. What to do...what to do...
I'll tell you what I'm gonna do: Keep my bulked up Takara and get Adam's Takara specific Begins head.
Nope. With the exception of the head (simply because it's too small), I like my modified Takara.
The OC is an amazing figure, but with Adam's head, the Takara will be a great alternative. And a heck of a lot cheaper.
You might be thinking of Magnuz who Platty mistook for Maglor.
I finally broke down and bought one so that I don't always have to use nail files and exacto blades.
But I haven't done anything with it yet, so i'm definitely not the guy you want to send it to!
In here, intended or not, all the customising says to people who have the stock figure - 'what you have isn't good enough, if I were you I'd get that replaced'. And any compliments of the Hot Toys stock sculpts and clothing comes across as patronising kinda like 'well its good....for what it is *pats yulli Joker on the head*'.
I think we need a sub-forum specifically for the purposes of discussing how customs are discussed too much.
Seriously, all the pissing and moaning about the word "custom"...I only know people still mention customs every once in a while because, every time that word comes up, a whole bunch of people start complaining about it and before you know it, you've got a dozen posts complaining about it being mentioned in one guy's post. The complaining about the discussion of customs is now ten times the problem that the actual discussion of customs is.
Some of you should do some reading about the Streisand effect.
