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

[Noodlerizer]

I have to agree that the QC issues have hurt the sales of this figure, but still can't believe it's still in stock.

How come a few of the custom capes use clips while others don't?

Great pic man

Your guantlets are backwards man , switch one from left arm to the right

Got an email back from Sideshow the other day letting me know there's a replacement boot on the way. I didn't even need to provide any photos for them, i just stated the problem and asked what could be done about it. There was no mention of discarding the boot either.

I got email from Toys2 replacement boot shipped. I hope it isn't defective as well....

Toys2 and SS has the same issues?

Toys2 and SS has the same issues?

The figure itself has the issues, regardless of where you buy it from.

Only issue I have with mine is the harness impressions on his legs. I'm hoping they eventually go away though.

Couple more.

^^^What cape are you using Coco?

And if you get the figure to stand in a somewhat dynamic pose, the form of the suit on the joints looks unnatural. Posing the figure like on the promo pictures for instance doesn't look as good in reality.

If I'm being honest, I thought most of the promo poses look bad.


However, I believe there is some potential for interesting poses. For example, this on is pretty damn good:

As for the poseability for this one, I'm still struggling to get that kneeling pose from the pro-mo photos. I'm starting to think it's impossible to do without disassembling some parts temporarily and I'm not about to do that.

Would it be possible for those who have to destroy the figure in order to get a replacement to give the suit a good workout and tell us how it holds up before taking a hammer to it? Possibly work those joints really hard, rub your finger back and forth in one spot, handle it with greasy fingers, put the suit under water, pinch the suit really hard...stuff like that? It would be really helpful to all of us (including yourself) to know the results of these stress tests. Thanks.

Thankfully, this suit and figure I think look best in static, badass poses.

I love these shots Alice! Those shadows are just perfect for Bats!

Nicely done!

^^^What cape are you using Coco?

It's one I made out of some leftover material I had from when I did Vader's cape. Weighty stuff so it hangs very naturally.

This is one very photogenic figure for sure.

In Singapore, those who bought this figures that the box with blue hot toys exclusive sticker will free from any QC issues, but those boxes with green sticker suffering from loose neck joint and broken body.

Sean Long makes pretty good reviews. Can't stand his voice sometimes tough .

Few more in my photo thread.

I find that I am really digging the photos without the pins. I think I will do that to mine, too.
