Hot Toys Batman V. Superman Dawn of Justice Speculation Thread

But it came out looking like Ioan Gruffudd

Thoughts:

-Batman: I love the movie suit but this... looks bad...Really bad. Dunno why, but it's just... it's like Kevin Smith wore the costume while they were getting reference picturs for the figure...

-Superman: Eh, same as MOS. I didn't get that one, so I'm not too irked.

I don't know, I don't have cash to spare, in reality I'm broke AF. But I think that the folks who did the costumes did a bang-up job, so I'd like to own them. Especially Wonder Woman. Dunno, if I put them in Flex Play and cut something else I may be able to afford them. We'll see how much they cost.

I find it humorous that yesterday when that first photo of just the upper half of the figures was released, people were saying that they were hoping that the sculpt on the Supes figure wasn't a recycle of the MoS sculpt and that HT would make a new sculpt for BvS. The next day, they are clamoring to recycle the MoS sculpt instead after HT reveals a new sculpt and it isn't to their liking.

Even so, these images aren't necessarily the final figures are they? They are still subject to change?

 

[GasparZizou]

That's because Supes doesn't look like Cavill. They literally only needed to retool the hair.

Yeah, they'll most likely improve them.

The only upside about these weird looking figures and what looks like a disappointing film, is that I'll save some money.

Or you can throw everything in the super-deluxe Abomination figure to go along with your Hulk...

I think I'm gonna wait till I see the JL figures.

If not I can always get this one, MoS one is till cheap to find.

They'll totally improve these before release. Hot Toys always does right?

I think I'm gonna get the combo pack. These figures generally keep their price right? If they improve on them in future I would sell the old ones to upgrade the collection

Not a fan of the angry face, something looks off. But i haven't seen Ben make that face so maybe it's correct.

The angry face is the weakest because the eyes aren't squinting. While there are three different mouthplates in the JC Hong pics, I believe the eyes are all the same. I'm guessing we'll get a pair of squinting eyes with the production figure.

Batman's head looks great, body looks like crap.

Superman's body looks great, head looks like crap.

Pretty much. The Batman body doesn't look very well-proportioned, so I'm hoping HT will address it just like it did with its Arkham City figure. And while I believe the Cavill likeness is better on the MOS figure, I'm hoping HT will make improvements.

Does the Batman's belt look to low, making his legs look short? Not sure if it's been mentioned before.

I totally dig the new Superman figure! The suit looks beautiful. Actually looks better than MOS, to be honest. Nice to see a different face sculpt for a change! If they did this, then it must mean this particular Supes figure is right around 12" tall instead of 13".

What's weird is the head sculpt of Batman. His head looks ENORMOUS. It's kinda unsettling to look at.

Actually, it's too high, imo.

 

[PolyPutty]

Or maybe Batman just has a REALLY HUGE HEAD.

Eyes too small, which makes nose look too long. Did they ever study human proportions??

My bad for posting the same picture three times.

I learned it was just optical illusion! They look small is because of the full black paint on the entire eyelids of the figure's. Those eyelids had to be painted in normal skin color to look bigger. Hmmm. I learned something.

Still, that head looks HUGE compared to the body. They gotta do something about that. Maybe the shoulders need to be tightened to look muscular.
