1/6 Hot Toys Batman Forever Batman (sonar suit)

[aragen]

So finally received this bad boy a couple days ago. Curious for the others that own him, is his head supposed to be loosely attached to the neck peg? Cause mine is barely attached since it's actually not able to click onto the peg so it just kinda rests on top of the peg and not securely attached.

It's badly designed. It barely holds and if you're not careful, it'll break.
Happened to a few others and myself.

Be careful swapping out the eyes too, if you decide to.

Mine were fused to the inside of the cowl, and when I used the tool provided to remove the eyes and put the sonar ones in, the “key” on the back of the eye plate broke - making it impossible(?) to change the eyes now.

Thankfully I only want to display him with his regular eyes, but it was a massive bummer.

I've seen at least 3 people post about this happening

Wow, thanks for the head's up guys! I've already re-packaged him back in the box, but good to know if I ever want to mess around with him in the future.

That's a bummer, but this figure is still a good looking one and very impressive...despite me having 0 desire to pose him out of fear I'll crease or crack his rubber suit lol.

I've done nothing with mine. Just did the minor adjustments to get him out of the 'in-box' pose. I didn't even attempt to use any accessories. He looks great just standing there.

Would heating it up make it easier to remove?

These two definitely look good paired together, can’t wait to add Mars Riddler!

Mine's still showing a 4/30 ship date, but he did say they were all shipping early. It's been my experience that, except for the payments and payment info, the site doesn't always seem to get updated all that often. Usually, his youtube updates are more timely.

Alright. Thanks for the info.

honestly didn't really like that version of the batmobile .

I've seen it mentioned in this thread a couple of times, but the hole in the head where the pin from the body goes in broke as I believe I pushed to hard and now the head just sits loosely on the body. Has anyone had any luck finding a replacement piece?

I decided to try and recreate one of Batman Forever’s promotional photos using the Hot Toys figure. It was a lot of work and took a lot of figuring out with the lights, but I’m very happy with the result!

Brilliant work - that image was used for a competition pamphlet here in Australia at a donut chain and was the first image I had seen of the film while we were on a holiday.

I remember studying it back at the hotel trying to figure what was going on with his new suit

Pretty sure that was the very first image of Batman in 1994/1995, awesome recreation.
