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

[Maglor]

is there anywhere to get a new batsuit for this figure? Mines collar is all f-ed up and he has the dent in his abdomen.

If you're not too keen on the Toy fair Ex. suit, Ven has the original costume for a nice price. Dunno if he still has it.

i went on ebay and just bought another body. lucky for me the one i got off ebay didnt have the dented abs or a broken boot. i paid $150 for it :/

yeah thats what I was afraid of

is it pretty easy to take off and put another on?

does the cape work the same way on the original suit?

 

[BB&WSF]

Um... Won't be the best person to answer that, but I guess it might...

Anyone?

well the suit itself came with the body so all i needed to do was take off the hands, boots, gauntlets and head and put them on the new body. so yeah it was pretty easy- you dont actually have to take the rubber suit off and put it on another truetype body

 

[alpha826]

does the cape work the same way on the original suit?

no it doesnt since the original cape wasnt meant to be taken off. though i have seen mods on this board where people have taken the cape off the the original suit. though someone with the TDK original suit could probably give you a more concrete answer

A question here:

Are the OC hands exactly the same as Toy Con Ex ones? Can they be used interchangeably?

 

[Lee in MI]

The OC Bats has stationary triangle clips. Not meant to come off but you can "break" the backing off and use the cape with a TF ex cape or any custom cape.

Anybody? Is there a color or some other conspicuous difference?

From what I see I think they should be the same. HT always uses the same peg design and the color shouldn't matter much because the gauntlets are there and are more glossy than the suit.

Thanks a lot Dylan!

Is there any big problems with this figure other than the broken ankle? I found a place selling it for less than 400 usd and was wondering if it's worth it.

I haven't checked right now, but I've never see this figure going for more than 400 USD in the commerce section of the forum after it was released by Sideshow.
About the defects: yes, some suits appear to have a dent in the abdominal area. This thread is full of examples everywhere, so good luck (not like you'll need it).

shameless plug..selling mine !

I had a perfect one until recently where the ankle socket shattered. Didnt drop, just woke up one morning and found it leaning. Just a heads up!

I just did the ankle replacement mod. Holy crap, it was hard to do and I gave myself a blood blister but I pulled if off.

Congrats.
Yes it's a little hard, but worth it. Saves spending $60.00 or more on boots that are going to break anyways.

Sculpt definitely looks best with some shadow going on. Suit still has a nice sheen to it.

Think I may need to get some individual shelf lights... hard to light each figure well with only 1 source.

I use this thing! : https://www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/products/20119418/

Gives a nice bright light wich I love! You can hide it easily buy putting some cloth on the shelves. I haven't and I honeslty dont mind seeing the under/upper part of the strips throug the glass shelves.
