Hot Toys Batman Forever 1/6th scale Robin Collectible figure

He really is a stunning figure. Just perfect.

Finally got around to padding out the chest. Just used standard cotton balls.

I think it looks much better, there is no way to fix the way the bottom of the pec, its molded but by padding the outer and lower chest area, it gets rid of the concave look they gave this guy for some reason. Not perfect but I'm much happier with it, figured I'd share if any other folks want to attempt this. It's very easy/reversible and shouldn't cause any damage to the figure. Doesn't cause any issues with articulation.

Not sure if it comes across as well in photos (just cell phone shots, I need to up my photography game) but in person it's loads better. If folks are interested I'll write a small guide.

Got my Batman and Robin yesterday and watched the movie again - Batman is close enough for me, awesome figure. And that's why I'm posting in this thread, because I have more to say about Robin. Robin is merely 'good' on account of that inaccurate chest and his too exaggerated colours.

Why are the nipples set into little depressions in the suit? Don't think they're like that in the movie suit. The pec musculature should be more prominent and connect higher across to the shoulder. Also seems to me the green of the shoulder should come in over the chest more whereas the figure has the red of the main body going straight over the shoulder like the straps of a ''wife-beater'' vest.

If someone manages to do a better non-wired cape I might go for it. The stock one isn't horrific or anything but the collar does sit a bit high, hiding too much of his neck (though I can see that being a problem no matter what) and it's hard to achieve a natural drape with wired capes IMO. I'm a museum pose guy so I don't need a cape blowing in the wind effect.

Overall, delighted to have these two despite my criticisms. Really wish Hot Toys would make the Panther suit, Riddler and Two Face now. And preferably before they change the scale of their figures again.

I'd like to pair him up with Bats but the colors bother me more than anything. IAmIronMan did a good enough job with the chest and seems easy enough to accomplish so at least that issue appears to be alleviated. Most of all I am wondering if he will sit around for awhile with HT flooding the market with figures these days and people having to make difficult decisions. I'd rather wait for a deal but - well - how many did they make? Ward Robin sat around for awhile and could be had for pretty cheap.

I dunno what to do

Again, who knows how many they made and what the demand is? I'm pretty sure Batman will sell out but that is just guessing. Honestly I'm surprised the DX19 isn't doing as well as I thought it would but maybe they made a million - who knows!? Don't feel bad about your purchases man it's all just part of the game. I lost money on every figure I got this year except for GAWW which I used points on and got for "free". But even there, after seeing her in the BOGO sale made me feel cheated a bit

I think SS is going to be sitting on A LOT of product over the next few years.

I went with sugo toys in Australia since i don't like buying international, a lot of hot toys figures (currently available) are kinda hard to get in Australia, no one has the DX19 and it's been 8 months since the figure released. I could get them elsewhere, but i prefer to buy from Australia only. I feel like not many of these will be made, these seem like pieces people will regret not picking up.

By the time Batman (Panther suit version) comes out, a 1/6 Hot Toys figure will be 16 inches. He’ll tower over Sonar.

He'll be life size by the time we get to George Clooney

Someone on the JazzInc group posted a repaint they did of both with the movie accurate pigments. Look great but probably outside the scope of something I could attempt.

I bought these right away because I've wanted them since the prototype, I'm sure there will be deals to be had but I don't think these will get to the level of some of the recent star wars/marvel releases. Your best bet for a rough idea of production numbers are recent DC releases that aren't the DX19. Arkham Batgirl/Harley, wonder woman etc. So there will be deals but not for years on end, if I had to guess.

Can you or someone share pics of what they look like? I'm not in the Jazzinc group, and I don't have Facebook.

Just a few pics I took over the weekend:

Some WIPS of my repainted Batman & Robin…

 

[Ropen]

anyone having suit problems around the elbows? I’ve had mine slightly bent up and there’s noticeable “creases” that appear to stretch them out.

He'll be life size by the time we get to George Clooney

We could say we got two suits in one, the Ice suit in Batman and Robin is an armored sonar suit in spirit.

 

[pug205]

Yes my has little crease lines on both arms when bent even slightly. When his arm is straight they disappear completely. Been like that since new.

I shouldn’t be worried then?

 

[pug205]

Mine a vertical lines not horizontal like that, seems like they have appear from having it posed. Would only worsen with long term extreme poses I would say. Would leave straight for a while to see if they minimise.

I literally got this robin last week, I was just inspecting him a few minutes ago and this came unglued. Any brands you would use to glue this back?

Same thing happened to mine. Gorilla branded super glue, with the precise applicator, made it good as new. Sorry that happened, HT's glue has always been terrible.
