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

I prefer acid trips myself.

I just acquired a Dark Knight Batman from a smoker for $2.
The suit needs to be cleaned. How would you guys go about cleaning the rubber suit without ruining it?
Would anyone know of a place to get replacement parts (gauntlets, hand pegs, hands and batarangs) from?

Thanks in advance

$2? If he gave so little a ___k as to what it might be worth why'd he bother charging you anything at all? If true.

Yes, it really was $2.
The accessories are all missing and he’s missing a hand and the gauntlets aren’t in good shape. The rest is great shape. I was hoping there was a way to get replacement parts.

Thanks for the cleaning tips.

The reason it was only $2 was because I had bought his Sideshow ANH Luke and Leia and this was thrown in as an extra because I guess he realized he effed up the figure by losing those parts.

So after some research I find that it came with 3 sets of hands, AND a Christian Bale head? Now I want the Bale head.

No one has answered yet. Does Hot Toys offer replacement parts?

^^^^ Your best bet is either asking here or hunting on ebay for the parts you want .

Yeah, but it's a _____ to try and get them.

If by some chance they have parts they aren't going to send them to you without a receipt and proof that there is damage to the parts/figures. In this case (getting a figure for $2 from a friend, without any documentation of the transaction) you won't see anything.

It's hard enough when customers actually have a problem such as damage because of how stingy Hot Toys is. Don't expect any success if you contact them to provide you with the missing parts. It has to be broken and photographed with a receipt and sometimes that isn't even enough.

I emailed them. I’ll see what they say. I’m more than willing to pay for them. I wouldn’t expect them to hand them out for free unless the item was shipped broken or with damaged goods.

I did find the pieces I need on ebay. Holy Cr@p are they expensive.
Just one set of hands goes for $30 and the gauntlets are also $30.
This $2 Dark Knight is going to end up costing $102.

Is there still a market for the original Batman Begins HT figure. I think it was MMS 13. I have one I was thinking of getting rid of.

Yep. I've seen it go for $300 sometimes $400!

It's really strange. You'd think with all the other superior Batman figures out there it's value would drop, but nope, it's anything but cheap.

You're still around 3-400 bucks ahead on the cost of a whole MIB figure
