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

[lambo944]

Looks great! Can you describe how you did your neck mod?

And belt mod, and the reposition of the triangular cape connectors.

Yes, I'll post up some picture tutorial soon. Very simple.

The neck looks the same to me, maybe it's the pics but more than likely my untrained eyes.

I don't see it either, but it's not the best angle.

I does look like the clips are a little on top of the cowl.

I'll show a comparison very soon.

here are some shot of the moded neck

here is my simple tutorial on I moded the neck. I'm sure there are many other customizers that moded the neck much shorter and better, but in the Film, the cowll is about the length of Hot Toys, the only thing is its much softer in the film, much easier to fold the neck. that's why I decided not to do too much mod, simple sanding and hot water technique will do the job.

This picture also shows the neck mod real well with other figures next to it.

Nice improvise on the black neck. How did you mod that?

Looks good Tony. Nice and simple.

but in the Film, the crawl is about the length of Hot Toys, the only thing is its much softer in the film, much easier to fold the neck.

I've been wanting to make that point for a while!

Because of the softer material, the cowl usually looked much shorter than the Hot Toys neck.

That's largely why I chose to go more extreme with my neck mod.

Thanks!

I made it from the mesh undershirt of the TDK DCD 13" Batman figure. Still looking for some incredibly thin leather to make the rest of the neck details

Looks like we are seeing the same thing

In my opinion the diameter of the neck needs to be widened.

Yes, since the cowl in the film is much thinner, when Batman looks down, his neck actually fold together n made the neck looks wider. If Hot Toys ever thought of that, they should have made the cowl much thinner to solve this giraffe issue.

Hopefully Enterbay or when Hot Toys decide to make their 1/4 figure, they can improve this major issue.

I'm sure Enterbay will produce one that will make me look at my current Begins figure with great disdain.

I do that now because I'm too afraid to mod.

Well thanks to Gipetto0812 i was able to make this figure look "good enough" for me, with the custom cape:

Thanks again, Steve!

Why? Screw the mods.

The only thing you're "missing out" on is the cape clips but I saw your pictures and the figure looks fine without them. The neck mod? Pfft, I know like myself, you don't give a ____ about that Jye. The OC/Beings Batman neck is nowhere near as ridiculous as the DX 02.

 

[highlander1]

I got my extra smoke capsules and fit them in between belt now hope his new grappel gun will fit on belt to when get's here....didnt notice dust on leg til after.....sorry not best photo.

 

[highlander1]

Looks great!

Did you just use the holes provided for the clips and cut holes in the custom cape?

I like how you think

I love my Batman again.

I'm so easily influenced.

Yeah, DX02's neck belongs in a zoo.

But in reality OC should have his cape clicks, it does look cool.

Damn you HT for getting that wrong.
