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

^^^ What do you like about the boots/legs?

 

[Lejuan]

I think statue collectors believe that they are collecting "works of art".

Those who do - and there are plenty on this board - are deluded. Dollies or statues, if it's mass produced figures of comic book or movie characters it generally equates to cheesy, Peter Pan syndrome knick knacks. At least dolly collectors in general don't take themselves too seriously. 40 year-olds collecting polystone statues of Hulk are "art collectors"?

I don't know, I think people who collects figures can be just as bad.

Hardcore Rainman followers come to mind.

and so the war begins LOL

It still shows the best part of this figure, which is the torso and cowl. The boots looks so awful that I cant display that figure without covering them.

And it's different than a statue because I chose that pose, not some sculptor. So if it "looks good" as you say, why not display it that way?

Also, what Bale Batman statue looks remotely as good?

In general, toy/action figure collectors appreciate pose-able figures because it reminds them of their childhood. Nothing wrong with that. I totally admit it and am not in denial.

Who would "The Poser" be without the ability to pose

 

[ZsaszSays]

Who cares?
Just collect and be happy.

Just put the DX12 belt on. Didn't think of the colour difference with the harness before buying...whoops...LOL. It actually makes qute the difference. really like the new belt.

 

[TheGDBatman]

Nice. Thinking about putting that belt on my TF but I have him in his Bats mode. I just need a fixed ankle to go with my CREG gauntlets, elvis face and the DX belt for this guy to be exactly what I want him to be. Finally.

Is the belt clipped as intended or did you have to do some kind of modification?

No modification. The belt is big though but is really only noticeable from the back. It does allow it to sit lower, which is nice.

Great pics!

Nice to know it did not need modding as I thought it might

Found a relatively elegant solution to the size of the DX12 belt:

I just removed the pointless grapple gun clip, widened the holes on the remaining part and clipped it together.

Fits just right now.

 

[Jokes & Bats]

Looking good, J!

Has anyone else seen this on their cowl? Apparently I didn't notice mine was cracked.
