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

[Lejuan]

Are there any mods people have done to this figure? I hate to admit it but it's not that impressive straight outta the box. It's like the suit is way to big for the figure. Please don't hate me ha ha

the ___k? I've tried the can of compressed air (not on this figure) and either I'm somehow using it wrong or its no ___king better than a dustwipe or a breeze from my lips

Nice work MacGyver! These are handy too, they have the added benefit of a little brush on the end:

Lint roller.

If thats not gonna drag all the moisture out of the rubber figures I guess I'll use that. I'd already been using it on the normal clothed figures.

I'm thinking of getting a custom cape for mine because they look so much better in photos. Do you guys think this will make the figure less valuable?

If it's a keeper, absolutely as it makes a huge huge difference in appearance. If you're unsure and want to sell the figure down the line, may not be a good idea as you have to break the cape tabs. Most buyers want their figure mint.

Try the cheap version... sellotape... wrap around your finger, wipe it a few times over your clothes to take the extreme stickiness out of it. Dab. Rinse and repeat.

I had to stare at that one a while to see what you did there.

Is it just me or does Christian remind you of Charles Manson in that picture?

I said "lint brush"

 

[a-dev]

I said "lent brush"

Well I had bought the can of air and wanted to try it out. I then used the lint brush. I don't really fancy that either though. It was pulling black off the figure - figure wasn't noticeably affected but still.

Wow Dev, Ski just got religious on your ass:

In the Christian tradition, Lent is the period of the liturgical year from Ash Wednesday to Easter. The traditional purpose of Lent is the preparation of the believer — through prayer, repentance, almsgiving and self-denial — for the annual commemoration during Holy Week of the Death and Resurrection of Jesus, which recalls the events linked to the Passion of Christ and culminates in Easter, the celebration of the Resurrection of Jesus Christ.

You didn't try the sellotape trick?
