Hot Toys Bruce Wayne/Batman (2011 Toy Con Ex) review + pics

[Tyranus7]

Here's Bats:

And here's my custom League of Shadows Bruce:

.. did you made league of shadows bruce??? Looks better than Bruce Wayne first night concept.

 

[Gruson]

The armor/suit was feels very flimsy on mine and not tight at all. Thin rubber and just cheap really. It is also really shifted to the right so the neck area looks very crooked when the Bruce head is on. I cannot ____ it back either...

Seeing the above pics, I would actually want the Shadow Bruce now! Very nice job! Want to make them for us?

And here's my custom League of Shadows Bruce:

mind sharing the formula for this bash, bud? Looks pretty accurate there

 

[Nightwing]

Here's Bats:

Batmans like "Put em up you mother f__ker"

Well yep there goes my order for the custom cape, I didn't even have to put this one on to know....it just looks terrible, not at all able to cloak him into the shadows like the film version does.

So after reading about the dude with the bubble on the right arm, I go and check mine and have the same problem. Looks terrible unless the arm is just straight out. Yay, HT.

Seriously, I'm getting WW2 and USO Cap, and if the MGS figs ever come out those too, and am done with HT.

I have the "bubble" going on too, Im not sure what it is but It would appear that the whole casting of the suit was just BAD on all of the production figures. I'm keeping it because he is going in a still, non dynamic pose on my shelf; but after Indiana Jones and the new Classic Predator I am done with buying Hot Toys material.

Isn't the rubber suit airy inside so you can pose it? So it doesn't stiffen the figure? What is the problem with the "bubble" in the arm? You can't stretch the rubber, it's there to allow some flexibility.

The suit is thinner than the original but it allows for better movement and can hold a pose better. Even standing with the hands at the side it can hold the arms closer to the body than before.
There is space there between the rubber and the actual body and if you bend the elbows it would distort the shape but I think it's natural.
I guess, I was one of the fortunate ones to get a good piece. i hope HT and Sideshow makes it right for everyone else who is having a problem.

I'll try and get some pictures, the space in the suit for flexibility isn't the same issue as this bubble. I'll try and get some pics of the left and right arms flexed so you can see. The difference is night and day.

I have a bit on mine I think it's because I had to push so hard to get the stupid head on.

That's frickin' killer.

Words of wisdom, a blow dryer is your best friend. wrist pegs, changing the heads don't need brute force. A little warmth goes a long way. Soften the neck joint before trying to shove it in. Warm up that wrist before pull on it. (This is starting to sound like foreplay )

Yep mine arrived like that...and with all the other problems. I will raise a LARGE fuss if I don't get a replacement from SSC...I buy way too much from them to settle for inferior figures

Mine's like that too. Never would have noticed if it wasn't for the video. As far as I can tell it's just because the rubber is a little thiner on his right arm.

I will literally never think about it again.

I laughed out loud when I got to the last line. That's pretty much how I feel as well.
