1/6 Hot Toys Batman & Batmobile - Batman Begins

[Berry The Music Man]

Disappointed about the faceplate connection but the price more than makes up for that .
Can't wait to see it on the figure !

It was pretty ambitious for the price being asked and I'm not sure what Jaxon's team is compared to say Mars. I too would like to know why a magnet couldn't have been installed and why the paint wasn't sealed on the faces or whatever the reason is for having to handle them gently. I can only guess the funds didn't allocate these things or perhaps that budget went to more important aspects.

What is the issue with paint on the face?

What is the issue with paint on the face?

That's all we know right now.

 

[franpincho]

I mean. $70 vs $300. They both look great to me, and IMO, neither of them warrant a $300 price tag.


Some people really need to get their heads (pun intended) out of their asses.

 

[vspectra]

Is there a sealant / clear coat recommended to put on it? I don’t know anything about painting

I think people are overreacting/misreading that Instagram message.

Don’t think Jaxon means you need blutack for the faceplate to stick to the cowl hole. I think it’s form fitting, probably plugs in like a Lego. What he’s warning everyone about is USING YOUR HANDS/FINGERS to dislodge the faceplate out of the cowl. By using your hands or a tool, you risk scratching the face. If you roll a piece of blutack, stick it to say his lips, you’ll be able to pull the plate out easier without worrying about scratching. It’s literally in the sentence. “Use blutack to stick on mouth plate when exchange”, when exchanging NOT when in use.

Hot Toys used to have a similar disclaimer back in the day,

[Vortex]

Thanks for the clarification! That makes a lot more sense than using blue tac to stick on the face plate.

 

[Raleig.h]

Gotta keep in mind Jaxon is probably using a translator so words may be skewed. We wont really know until we have it in hand.

 

[ScoobyDoo]

Usually takes 2 weeks to get something from Kit, so now I have something to look forward to!

 

[vspectra]

Looks like Jaxon cowl sold out at OSK

Looks like Jaxon cowl sold out at OSK

That explains the few ISO posts I have been seeing on social media. I was thinking to myself on why not go to Kit.

 

[Vortex]

Dang I was thinking about getting a couple more wanted to see one in hand first though.

 

[Nine Inch Nails]

Hopefully we get some in hand pics soon. My fear is that Jaxon's is undersized and it will look like that pin head guy from Beetlejuice.
