Glad they followed through! Great customer service!

Any suggestions on what we should use to make the gauntlets glossy screen accurate? Pretty sure i can handle that customization myself.

Maglor ... aka Master Futzer . And that is a beefed up Takara Batman Begins

Great pics man but it looks like you have a dented suit, though I gather some have managed to futz the dent away

You mean the dent at the right abs? Noticed this one...but no big deal for me....maybe it will flatten over time.

Thanks for all the comments on the photos, I might try out a little more with real lighting than artificial...but days keep getting shorter here...Winter... :-/

@vodoun : Looks friggin real in those dark pics!

That IS the ******* batman.

Really cool pics Vodoun, as usual. Looks like a movie still.

Figure is on the way. A little late compared to the nearly everyone else on this thread but meh. Do you think Sideshow has done any QC checks while they have been in stock?

Spray Gloss Kote.

Thanks. And i can find this @ Michael's? Just a clear coat no color? 'Spray Gloss Kote" is the name of the brand? Haven't messed around with spray paint since i was a kid, (Testors) and that was a long time ago.

Other than a quick visual inspection i doubt it because of all the plastic the figure comes wrapped in. Don't worry though cause you're going to get a good one.

Cheers Vortex, off to bed now. The Mistress can wait ;O

I cancelled this a while back, but after seeing some of the pics on here I re-oredered. I got a problem free set (I think) just had a quick look.
My biggest gripe with this is the suit, it's waay too loose, thats what makes it look too bulky IMO. And the suit is actually sticky soft rubber. Not a good material for a figure, the original bats body was way better. But the new sculpt and bale head are excellent.

Sent SSC pics of my left wrist peg being fused to the hand and the right ankle joint being fused to the boot a common issue I guess by now. Im not gonna complain about the dent and the BW head with gloss on its forehead as they arent too big a deal for me.

I hope they sent me a replacement. Funny thing I heard from their customer care rep is that since Im an international buyer I have to 'destroy' the faulty body once I get the replacement!!

Yeh, having to do this is usual from what I've read - though you don't have to destroy it and photograph it as evidence beforehand?

I have no idea. what worries me more is that what if SSC does an Enterbay and sends me a body which doesnt have the problems I have with my figure at the moment BUT have problems like an internal broken joint etc etc instead?

I emphasized on that, and the destruction will be done only when I get the replacement and see its really problem free. Sheesh I think I got a jinx with every HT Batman I buy. The last one DX02 has leaky abs and I had to wait for a replacement...
