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

[pjam]

Congrats Dally! It's a Classic Piece.

I don't think HT will make more.

They did the BB then this BB V2 so I think that's prolly it.

 

[Dally]

Indeed. No need to make another version of the BB suit, they nailed it with this one.

I noticed his ankles are a little loose, but that's not too big of a problem for me since I always use stands. Also the cowl is easy to take off, I'm very grateful for that because I was thinking that might be a pain. I am having trouble switching hands though (which is quite terrifying to even attempt), the peg keeps coming out with the hand. I'm going to use hot water when I try again on Sunday.

 

[pjam]

Yeah, they won't make another version. I was talking about a another run of these. They are going for 250 + now.



There are solutions to both those probs in here somewhere. You can remove the boots, add glue to ball joints or stuff boot holes and reinsert boots for a better fit. Mine are fine actually. Just be careful with the hand pegs.

 

[Dally]

I didn't even check to see if the boots were removable, I'll have to try that then. I'm pretty terrified to attempt replacing the hands again even with the hot water. When I removed his hand I could see a gap in the peg and it almost looked like it was separating in two.

How many have been produced of this figure?

Waiting patiently for the Tumbler....

 

[Dally]

Yeah, I got a big urge to get the Tumbler once I had this in hand. Unfortunately for me and fortunately for my wallet I have absolutely nowhere to display the tumbler. Hell I don't even have anywhere to store the box with the Tumbler in it right now.

Congrats Dally!!! I'm glad the hunt for HT Batman OC is over for you. The pics looked awesome. I'm still waiting to see if I can get mine from HK.

HT doesn't release numbers.

 

[CristiMAN]

Cant find this one anywhere...

HT doesn't release numbers.

It's a shame they don't come with certificates like, showing the limited number of 21 out of 5,000.

I noticed looking up the first Batman it came with a certificate.

 

[Cap'n Cook]

So did Supes v1 and Clark v1.

Well, not publishing an edition size let's them do these second and third production runs they do nowadays. One nice thing about Hot Toys, they seem to work to make sure people get their figures rather than limit them and make them to hard to secure.

Agreed 100%. I know it's important for some people to have a limited edition piece...but it's important for more people to actually obtain it.

If you're in it for the edition size, go and collect pottery or something.

Absoltly right but nevertheless it would be interesting how many people are freak enough to pay 150+ for a plastic doll featuring a guy in a latex outfit...

Here's Dozogovi's BB figure i borrowed. I made for him a custom Takara cape made to fit the BB figure with holes for the neck pins.

Posing the figure now includes posing the cape. Its like the cape is an additional appendage. Pretty interesting that I can keep Batman pretty much standing, but pose the cape in a different way and he can look totally different.
