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

[Tyranus7]

I cancelled my waitlist order so you have that much more of a chance.

I want to buy him for $600 in the future because I'm the kind of retard who will spend that much money on a Christian Bale doll. I did it with all the other HT Batman figures I passed on. I find it makes the figure way more awesome if you pay 3-4x retail.

Are you serious? Well the figure is already on eBay for over $450, so you just have to wait a couple of months for it to reach $600

Dead serious.

Off topic, but I thought that this was funny:

Nolan should have cast the Swedish Chef as Batman too.

The Movie Quote Shorts - Batman Begins, What I Do That Defines Me - YouTube

Yeah, it's funny. I just don't like the end part where he starts cursing (thats not the Batman I know). They should just end it where he corrects his first quote after he fell.

Really? Looks completely different to me.

Not even talking about the neck.

I know the camera angle is kinda wide, but it still looks a totally different shape to me.

Can a sculpt get that changed in the recasting process?

Yup. It can come out completely lacking depending on mold, casting agents, etc. Hell, even paint can ____ up a sculpt. But if you look at things like the cheek bones, the way the nose sets into the brow, the eyes and the main curls in the hair, you can see it's a recast.

That wasn't Batman cursing at that point, that was a joke on angry Bale for when he fought with the DP.

damn dude, 2 weeks left til I get mine. Cannot wait, I already got my shelves all polished and dusted for him.

It could work,

The best video of the figure so far! I believe some people are thinking now "Why I canceled this?" lol

Doesn't have the comparison pics, but it IS 100% a recast to my eyes.

And yeah recasting can cause all sorts of distortions.

You r right it should be a recast. And it is undersized. Have a look.

You r right it should be a recast. And it is undersized. Have a look.

That is the best head for under $30. But I think the skin paint job is not good, the skin shines too much. Other than that... how can a recast be undersized????? ... From here it looks like a 10% smaller than the Bale's HS from terminator.

 

[Maglor]

That is the best head for under $30.

I agree. Although there is some Dafoe in there (which I think is because the head is kind of stretched vertically), this recast of "custom" or whatever it is looks pretty good to me. And I don't think it looks any smaller than the one that comes with the new Bruce Wayne/Batman figure.

Off topic, but if I may ask, where did you get that gear for your Enterbay Jack Bauer figure? It looks amazing!

 

[Agen]

Does anyone know TDK first version neck fit to new Bruce Wayne head?

 

[Tyranus7]

Ok, I just saw Batman Begins and the batsuit isn't that matt as the HT figure. But still want it, so keep cancelling people so I can get it from the wait list

 

[bplus73]

It's from Playhouse "look-alike" Jack Bauer GSG-9.

Yeah I agree. For the price whether its a recast( which is what I thought it was when I first saw it) or something else I think its a solid sculpt except for the paint. If you wanted to get it for a second Bruce Wayne or something that would be cool.

 

[stunna]

some new in hand pics have surfaced around online recently, looking clean, glad i didnt cancel on this one

Off topic ... but I don't care. Where'd you get the Bauer jacket?
