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

[Maglor]

help me?

Spoiler

Put left one on right, and right one on left...

The shortest angle should be toward the front, and keep in mind the curved edge is along the cowl.

 

[Maglor]

Actually, looking at your pics closer, it appears that the clips are just upside down. The curved edge is toward the floor.

Keep them on the sides they are, then if you spin them around, the short angle will be towards the front.

Kay, I'll give it a try.

 

[spiderbo]

See Below.

Thanks void!

Nope, only mod I did was the clips, other than that the cape and gaunts are takbats stuff.

So I am sorry if I am slow. But that is the con exclusive with nothing else added but the gauntlets? That looks so bad ass.

Basically, yup. And the takara cape.

 

[spiderbo]

Is the Takara cap better than the LF custom cape. I am assuming the Takara is impossible to find now a days. So no neck mod are anything. I like this version a lot more than the DK version.

Hit up lforigno if you want a better cape. His large Begins cape is patterned on the Takara cape.

 

[ZaCHw117]

Yeah, Lances capes are better. Just haven't got around to getting one for this guy yet.

 

[spindrift]

Still looking for one for display..HT needs to release ANOTHER version of this for those needing it or not wanting to pay $350 up for one. Another version with much better QC ...

 

[spiderbo]

Is this one better than the first DK release version?

It's a matter of opinion, but I liked the Dark Knight version better.

i didnt ask but I saw and had to say I bought the dark knight oc and havent gotten it yet. But I am glad to see you say you like it better than this one.

 

[ZaCHw117]

I've never had the OC version, but just the pics I've seen of it, I like the Toys Fair version better.

In hand, I prefer the Toy Fair version.

BUT - you have to be lucky to get one problem free, and there does appear to be plenty of variation in how nice the finish of the suit is. I have 2 and they are different.

 

[ZaCHw117]

Yeah, mine had issues when I got it, most noticeably the ankle problem, good thing SSC got me all cleared away nice and fast though.

So if you were gonna buy one now after all you know which one would you buy?

Sorry I haven't read all this thread but I am assuming there is ankle breakage problem. Are there any solutions?

I would buy the 2011 version for sure. There are solutions to the ankle breakage, involving replacing the foot inside the boot with another HT foot (sanded down I believe). There's a tutorial here somewhere.
