Hot toys Batman Begins Toyfair exclusive Damage Report!

[DinoLast]

To be honest in most lights I can't see it. It's just when I am in the hallway and hold it to light coming from the windows of my front door.

 

[DinoLast]

I don't see what the fuss is about this headsculpt either? It's OK, but it's no Reeve

I am beginning to worry about the suit now, is there any ways to apply a spray coat or something over the suit to prevent it from peeling in the long run?

My advice is not to touch it, and put it in a dust free environment ASAP

Yeah, it's a middling sculpt for me, not a disaster for sure but not a home run either.

And yeah if you can't see the shiny bit in most lighting then probably not a huge thing to worry about. I'm more concerned about my suit and ankles

 

[Eamon]

I think asking for return because of the head shine is a bit much.

The boot definitely. I got my shipping notice on my replacement boot so i am happy.

I hope Sideshow give HT some flack for this and get them up their quality control.

 

[DinoLast]

OMG now I know what people said about the cape. I just can't clip it in. I have big fingers, plus my hand is shaking in fear of tearing the rubber

Thanks for the advice, already put it back in the box waiting for its replacement body and searching for tips on the net for any other methods to prolong that rubber suit.

I opened mine fully last week and have it out on display now.
There were a few issues I had though:
- Batman's default belt has one of the pegs bent and lifting up (those tiny pegs on the back)
- Suit has a couple of spots that looks shiny (very tiny spots though) and the left/right sides has the visible line where the suit fused together I presume (guessing this is just the way it is due to the production process, so likely won't mention this if I call in)
- Forehead shiny like everyone else

Are these problems enough to call in about? Will they just send me replacement parts or will I have to 'destroy' my items too?

 

[klocket]

Maybe this has been addressed but, for all the seemingly abundant sadness for the Bruce sculpt, seems the skin texture is still there so why not just dab on some matte clear coat model paint to dull it down?

Ultimately this seems like such a minor issue as it stands alone... but with all the other troubles with the suit, the headsculpt should be the shining light but when that's flawed too it's so disheartening.

To be honest in most lights I can't see it. It's just when I am in the hallway and hold it to light coming from the windows of my front door.

I only saw mine under direct lighting when looking for it. I have a feeling the only other time I'll notice is when I take pictures.

Still don't get the comments about the head. It's amazing. It's a bit undersized but please hold it up to the previous Bruce Wayne heads and tell me it's OK again. Haha. I honestly don't see a HUGE difference between it and Adam's sculpt. Both are great but this paint job brings it to life. Even with a little sweat.

 

[Kameo Kid]

My right knee pad thing is slightly crooked on the right knee. Anyone else suffering from this?

 

[Custo]

Are you sure the actual kneepad is crooked? Or is the rubber suit just twisted.

I'm not sure. My wife won't let me touch it anymore because she says I'm just going to obsess and make it worse.

I have to say once I got the head on the DX 02 body I started seeing Bale a lot more, and at certain angles it does look dead on. I showed it to my wife and she said 'wow that looks great', and was like, do you really think so? It's just when I first got it out of the box, I was not sure if it was that good of a Bale sculpt.

 

[toylion]

Took some photos of mine in the daylight. Kneecaps seem to be in the right place. And the only shine on his head seems to be a light reflextion.

 

[Kameo Kid]

I messed around with it and the knee cap just fell off the suit. Is it okay to use super glue on rubber?

You should of listen to your wife. What about rubber cement?

Oh, so that's what she said!


Couldn't help it.
