Gone now.

I have a TDK Batman coming but I keep wondering if I should get this one too. Is it worth owning both?

if i had to choose from either the dark knight version or the original version i would say the original by far

I must have got lucky because I just ordered the original version from Toys2 a few days ago, it should be here tommorrow! I have TDK version that will be headed here in a few weeks too! Can't wait!! Go for it bro, having both versions can't hurt & besides if you don't like one you could always sell it.

I finally put my Batman on display. It's so hard finding the right pose for this figure... What with the costume being so limiting and all. I can't seem to replicate any pose from the movie... But I'm quite happy with the pose that he's in right now. Will post some pics on Saturday....

 

[Cajunsith]

Great pic bro!! Is your Batman from the first run or the second run?

Cheers! I'm really not sure how to tell but I wonder if there's a difference? I'm sure someone on here knows.

I havent been on for a while. Anyways i got my batman and joker couple months ago and its time for me to post

[uscmhicks]

why is it I see no second wave of this figure on ebay ?.
Has the second wave sold out too ?.
I could buy from toys 2 but I'm talking like £135.00 to get it here.


Why I didn't pre order this is beyond me.

Damn takara batman making me change my mind !

How hard is his hands to change on this compared to The Dark Knight?... or is it just the same type of pegs?...

Same pegs, SOMEWHAT easier. At least on the Begins suit, you can get at most of the ball part for brip where because of the glove style on TDK, you only get the peg.

The right hand peg on mine seems somewhat fragile , so I've not tried to swap that hand as it doesn't seem that willing to be removed! ( I see a replacement peg in my future ).

I really like that pose too, it totally says superhero! Mine will be the from the 2nd run, i don't think it will be any different from yours. Bats should get here on Thursday & man i can't wait!! The detail from the pics are just breath-taking, he looks so real. I think he'll look great next to Iron man when he comes out.

I agree with the pose, but that figure looks like a soft Batman fan-boy in his home-made costume at Comic-Con!

True, plus the gauntlets on TDK are way more fragile, so harder to get a safe grip in the first place.

 

[uscmhicks]

quick question guys.
It probably mentions this a million times in this thread but was there any major differences in wave 1 and 2 ?.
I missed all the info since I wasn't going to buy this guy until I pulled my takara apart.
Sorry for being an uber noober ( word of the day ).

Attention those storing Batman figures...

Bothersome new issue for me - I have 2 Original Suit Batmans - one to go in the Tumbler and one to display loose. Anyway I moved house and until just now only had one of them taken back out of the box.

Beware the piece of sharp-edged plastic that you find wrapped around the neck when you first open your figure - remove it completely from the box and dispose of it. I left that attached to the wall of the figure tray and have now found it has made indentations in the rubber on Batman's chest - not too noticeable but lucky that this is the figure I intend to put in the batmobile.

Furthermore be sure to put your Bruce wayne head back in its appropriate tray - I had mine on a true-type neck and couldn't be bothered removing it from the neck in order to put it back in the tray - so instead I just kept the head loose between batman's legs. Whatever compression it experienced caused the tip of Bruce's nose to flatten and the skin texturing to wear off! The tip of his nose is now flat and shiny! Thankfully I have another.

I'll see if I can post pictures later - I only have my phone camera so it might not be entirely clear.
