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

[Vortex]

Speaking for myself, this figure has a hell-of-a-lot more shelf presence/wow factor than the Bank Robber.

That's because you have the head bowed way forward (how did you do that again?) a nice custom cape, painted gauntlets and posing skills. Most of these don't look like yours.

 

[Maglor]

Mine has the Takara gauntlets.

I bowed the head way forward by... bowing the head way forward.

^^^That's just posing. However, more recent pictures have a modified neck.



These below are a combination of posing and a shortened neck:

Incidentally, moding the neck means that you actually can't tilt it forward quite as far.

Takara Gaunlets

Is the neck mod easy to do or is that something that should be left to pros? The long neck has always bugged me a bit on the OC Bats, didn't notice it quite as much as others on the DX one, but on the OC? Definitely, unnaturally long.

Ahh, modified neck. Takara gauntlets. Illforigno cape. Maglor "super posing skills". Again.. most of these don't look like yours. If they did, i can see why so many are calling it FOTY. As it stands now, i am baffled.

Same. I think HT has been running some kind of North Korean-esque brainwashing on the voters of that poll. Considering the other options....theres just no way.

Hmm I didn't expect this figure to top Superman or even DX-06 Jack but I still love this figure so no problem for me if this won.

The usual ETA is from 1 to 3 months but as this is an eclusive, it may take up to 5 months. I sent the entire box with the figure to my Singapore retailer, Action City and there were cases where collectors open up their figures 3 weeks after STGCC and realised the figure was spoilt but got rejected by Action City for repair as it was over the one week exchange grace if I am not wrong. Til date I gt no news of my figure and I am not the only one in my country haha,

I see. Wow, 5 months is hard to swallow huh. Good thing they have one week exhange policy there or a lot of collectors will surely be pissed.

Well, good luck bud and hope you'll get your figure asap.

is that a list to vote for worst QC of the year from HT? This thing has awful rubber suit. The matte finish rubs off so easily.

 

[Vortex]

Not that i would expect any of these to win but where's Sweeney Todd, T1-800, Barney Ross on that list!?!?

 

[intothevoid]

FOTY for sure.

F is for Fail.

Speaking about it as it comes out of the box though, with mods it can look spectacular as Mag has shown time and time again

I love mine. I only bought 2 HTs this year (besides a dx joker) bats and sparrow. I was one of the unlucky ones who got the broken boot. He's a cool figure especially if you mainly collect Batman stuff. But sparrow dwarfed it. Jack deserves FOTY.

 

[thedarkknight]

Got mine for Christmas and love it. I was very lucky that nothing was broken on it and am very pleased. Honestly, I like this one more than the MMS067 (which I sold months ago).

Pretty sure the neck length would be the same on each.

Is the neck mod easy to do or is that something that should be left to pros?

It's easy-ish. But very nerve-racking. And you need a dremel tool.


I could post a tutorial one of these days. I haven't yet 'cos I don't know that anyone else would be willing to do it, and I might be wasting my time.



Is anyone interested in a neck mod walk-through?

Yep surprising but Batman fans only saw Batman on that list

To be honest, i would love to do the mod, but i dont think i have the cojones to do it. So its all up to you mag. But it would definetly be cool to see a tutorial.

I like this figure so much I had to purchase two to pose as 1st night out and batman atop the clock tower. However, it is not FOTY. FOTY has to go to Jack Sparrow.

Anyway, here is how I have Bats displayed on my book shelf (sorry for the glare across the front of the plexi, I used flash and should have removed the front covers).

 

[highlander1]

Happy new year ...a couple pics of foty bats ha ha ...who dare's question the awesomeness of the bat.....
