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

[Maglor]

How about tha Takara suit, I'm assuming its rubber too but is it solid....no issues.

Yep. No issues. And much more poseable.

I just repainted spare gauntlets with gloss black and they look great

Where did you get spare gauntlets?

I'd be really interested in some other company's take on a Batman figure that has joints for posability. Maybe make the suit like the Predators body with hidden joints

 

[Mr. EcKo]

I just whipped this up for some Freaks

You all know this is a posable figure right? It's not necessarily gonna be posed perfectly out of the box. The body can be posed and the suit can be futzed. Between those two factors everything should be easy to center.

You can't really futz a rubber suit like you can cloth. They put it on wrong. Yes, you can bend the knee in some dynamic way or cover it with the cape, but there's no defending that they messed up.

And I'm a huge defender of this figure! I love it. The knee cap and little gloss on the CB head were all the defects I got. I can live with both.

You'd be surprised how much you can twist the rubber around.

Anyway, sounds like yours is worse than I'm imagining.

Here's what I'm doing with the BW head:

​

Makes me love the DX02 all over again.






And I'm pretty sure at some point I said I would post a comparison shot of my two BW heads:

Looks like my custom might be a little cross-eyed. :/

See as much as I like Adams sculpt I dont think its better than HT's and I know everyone is all crazy about it. I dunno,, awesome pics though and Im loving that BW on the TDK suit.

 

[Maglor]

They are both great heads.

I was talking to my wife about it last night. We agree that Adam's head looks more like Bale, but we find it interesting that two sculpts that are so different from each other can both look so much like him.


I have a complaint about both.

- The custom's eyes are too deep set. [IMO ]
- The HT head is too small. [IMO ]

I agree with everything you just said. You hit it right on the nose. The eyes on the custom are too deep set that it make the brow look protruded. And of course HT's is too small...as usual. But yeah both great heads I just prefer HT's. I'd like to see Adams sculpt done with a HT paint job.

Oh and I love that sig and avy.

I really don't think this is even opinion.

Hey Maglor, great pics!! Looks awesome!! Where did you get that Wayne suit and dress shirt? I've been looking for a good one...thanks!

[Mr. EcKo]

It got forgotten

 

[BB&WSF]

Pardon my ignorance but are glossy gauntlets more screen accurate?

 

[spindrift]

Yes they are glossier in BB. HT missed that detail but fixable- alittle gloss coat and you are set...if it doesn't melt it!!!

 

[dsokyra]

Yeah, if you google Batman Begins or Batman Begins batsuit, there are several pics that show the gauntlets are glossy...I hear ya though, I didn't believe it either until I checked for myself

 

[Mr. EcKo]

Their semi glossy

I get asked that a lot. I'll say what I always say: I bought it from a member here and all I know as they are no longer available. Sorry.
