Just a tidbit of info...

Had a great looking ACI balaclava on this guy for a couple of months now I guess...

Wayne now has a black nose, chin, forehead and cheekbones.

yay.

I believe some people soak their clothes in white vinegar to "fix" the dye, so this doesn't happen.

Or did I just imagine that you can do that?

Beats me but anything is worth a shot.

Bought and modified a DX 12 belt to go on my Batsuit Begins. I'm sure that there's a more elegant way of doing this. I just cut off the first links on either side of the clasp. I then superglued the new ends onto the clasp. It makes it look boxy from the back, but it's covered by the cape. Can't tell from the front. It looks a lot nicer than the stock belt.

Bump for new post that was approved ^^

Nice mod.

Really wish I had the stones to do that neck mod. Maglor, mod my neck!!!

Belt looks too tight and squishy on batman.

Thanks.
Yeah, me too. I don't think that I'd be able to do it without messing up. I would love to be able to pay someone to do it who has had experience with it.

Sorry that I don't have a before pic, but it seems to be the same tightness as the stock belt. To me, anyway.
I just really prefer the cleaner/shinier DX 12 belt over the dark/grimy looking Batsuit Begins stock belt.

If I wanted to use the Bruce Wayne head from this figure on my DX2 Batman the Dark Knight would it be a good idea to get the Bat Suit collar from the DX12 Batman Rises, or would I be OK without it. I'm mainly just interested in it looking good and not having any big cracks, or showing the inner body.

Just wait for the DX version. Maybe they will finally get the neck right like they did with the DX12.

Can't say if the DX12 collar will work, don't believe anyone has tried it yet.

I truly do hope that they make a DX Begins. Don't see it being too likely, but HT has surprised us before.

If I didn't already have one I'd be all over this.
One is enough, not to mention mine has perfect ankles.

 

[Deefuzz]

I'm tempted to go for it but I'm already planning for the DX. Not sure I need two Nolan Bats figures.

Same thing happened to me...any ideas on cleaning off the stains without damaging the original paint?

Is the dx12 belt really too big to fit without modding it?

What is this neck mod please?

Cheers!
