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

[Tick-Tock]

Wait... What? This headsculpt is amazing, probably my favourite HS ever!

It might be amazing but it's not exactly Christian Bale. Not sure why Hot Toys has so much trouble with getting eye alignment/cheekbones to look like the actor they're modeled on. Every Batman -- Bale and Keaton -- wearing a cowl looks spot on.

He is a beast.

You don't think his looks like Bale?

not only your moded BB Batman looks fantastic, your photography skill really justify the beast look within. Love it, just loving it!!

Maglor, you said you were looking for something more permanent for the clips.

I bought this hocky puck size wireless LED light and the plastic battery cover door is held on by 5 very small, very thin round magnets (works really well).

Maybe one of these little magnets could be glued to underneath the cowl and a small strip of metal used under the clip.

Wow Jye. great idea!

Those pics were taken before the mod.

Here's another angle:

Hmm, it seems like the magnets plus metal strips would be too bulky unless I actually made recessed holes for the magnets...

the grey back ground reminds me of promo shots

I couldn't agree more. I noticed some shine on one of his thighs, Mag. I thought I was the only one. I got some on mine as well, including his buttocks. It's a great figure nonetheless.

Yep. The matte finish is rubbed off in a couple spots:

It hasn't gotten any worse, but that's probably because I hardly ever handle it anymore.

Wow Jye. great idea!

That ass on your figure looks like ass.

That can't be just dust, what did you do to it

 

[Maglor]

Kinky stuff.

 

[TonyMeis]

Yep. The matte finish is rubbed off in a couple spots:

It hasn't gotten any worse than the above, but that's probably because I hardly ever handle it anymore.

OMG, what happen there, the weather!

good thing i kept the AWESOME body from the 08 figure... lol

 

[Tick-Tock]

You don't think his looks like Bale?

At certain angles he looks awesome -- he looks great in those pics. But you took those photos at angles for a reason. Full-on, facing forward? Not so awesome. I think the mouths with this figure made for the cowl look so much better than the mouth on the Bale head.

 

[Maglor]

Zach takes all his pics at weird angles.

Whoa! Mine are in the exact same spots just like yours. Uncanny.
