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

Try rubbing it with a eraser.

I'd test the eraser trick on a hidden portion of the figure first. The rubber surface gradually disintegrates if you apply enough force and it may cause a bigger blemish.

Just got an email from BBTS that they just cancelled my preoder for the Original version batman and that they were not going to get their shipment from their suppliers.

HT's website, last I checked (maybe a week or so ago?) still has this listed as "in stock", so it can't be that impossible to get, even if it means going through eBay.

Same here.

That sucks. He is a great figure. I got mine from a board member here, so you guys may also consider keeping an eye on the "sale" threads. The way the economy is going, I may end up having to sell mine at some point

calvarenga and Agent23, when did you preorder the original suit version from BBTS? I ask because I ordered as soon as it was first available for preorder, and it has been paid for and sitting in my Pile of Loot for months. I haven't received any order cancellation emails, and as of tonight, it is still in my POL. I hope it stays there until I'm ready to ship (I'm waiting for Two-Face to arrive in stock).

It was a few weeks ago, so you should be good to go if you put yours in from the get-go.

How do you work that out...

"that they were not going to get their shipment from their suppliers"

Whether the order was in first from a few weeks ago..., if they don't get the shipment, no fulfillment from the supplier.

 

[Dally]

Yeah, from what I understand they will not be getting any in.

I know it is not the Hot Toy's one, but the Medicom version has now released. Maybe some people will pick that one up, I'm interested in seeing what people think of it.

 

[vodoun]

It looks a bit meh. The cowl neck part looks like somebody took scissors to it. Square edges rather than the official round look, and the body looks Takara like. With saggy moobs!

 

[Dally]

Looks like they put the armor in plates over a body suit instead of just a full rubber suit.

 

[Cap'n Cook]

Boredom:

 

[El Roranous]

I would never take that Medicom batman over the Hot Toys one. Medicom= never again.

 

[Dally]

Is that a custom cape, or the one that comes with him, Snake?

 

[Cap'n Cook]

That's the standard issue cape.

 

[Dally]

Great. It hangs very nicely, awesome pic btw. I'm getting a custom Takara cape so I guess I can just save that for the TDK costume when I get it.

 

[Cap'n Cook]

Definitely. The Takara cape works best for TDK ver in my opnion, as it is in need of slimming down, whereas the BB ver looks great as is.

 

[Dally]

He arrived! I absolutely love him. Everything about this figure is awesome and I haven't found a single gripe with him. From most pics the cape looks kinda firm and thick, but in hand it is very loose and hangs extremely well. On the neck of my Bat's cowl there are two little spots where it looks like a little gloss was smudged, but you can only see it when you shine a light on it so its no big deal. Besides that he is perfect. Unfortunately I had to go away for the weekend, so my time with him was cut short but I look forward to messing around with him some more on Sunday.
