Little T-rex arms.

Alright! Bane will join the collection next week! It's a great figure to start the new year.

Not recently, but I had one back around April for Bane.

It's what Hardy should have been.

Yeah the 2.0 is closer to the actual hardy physique than 1.0 but it’s definitely exaggerated and idealised, and I don’t mind that tbh

I do, the whole point of these is to be accurate to what you visually see on screen. If I were y'all I'd keep the coat on at all times

The coat looks goofy to me because his body is huge, makes him way too bulky. Coatless is the way to go.

You’d need the brown sweater underneath the combat vest too then, for even more screen accuracy.

What we saw on screen was shot creatively to give the illusion that hardy was bigger than he actually was, for example with camera angles looking up at him as opposed to straight on or from above - so arguably making him idealised IS screen accurate

Gee was it? Never heard anyone say this before... You clearly see how tall he is at the end of the movie. At best you could make the case he's the same height as Batman but he's slightly shorter even with the lifts. He's absolutely not as jacked at this figure, especially in the chest. Justin's collection shows the comparison at the end of his video, this figure looks stupidly oversized.

Just watch the BTS docs on TDKR or just watch the film and observe the angles he is shot from - yes, at the end fight sequence his actual relative size vs Batman is easier to see, but that doesn’t negate the fact that they shot him from low angles through most of the film to make him appear bigger

He was being sarcastic, since it's talked about so much.

While I normally want really strong accuracy in my figures, I like this one in particular being a little over exaggerated to fit what the vision of the character was supposed to be, while also keeping Hardy's likeness very well in tact.

 

[jedibear]

He's here....just a quick one out of the box...

He's worth every bit of praise and then some. Just wow.

 

[PorkChop]

Looks awesome. Mine has been stuck in the post system since 20th. Hoping it is just the usual Christmas slow down but starting to panic a bit….

 

[Agentofchaos]

anyone know of a place where this is available still at retail?

 

[jedibear]

Hawkwarz has it online, getting pricy already.

It it friggin' awesome.....

"No time for fear, Doctor....that comes later!"

I'm realizing the more I look at release pictures, and see people hyper analyze figures, the less I care to explore them when they arrive. Wind is completely taken out of the sails.

This figure though, I didn't follow at ALL because I didn't originally plan to get it. And yet, when release photos dropped I had to grab it. And I'm extremely excited to set it up when I ship my pile of loot.
