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

[dw316]

Interesting. So TDKR had the "goldest" belt then? I do like that the Begins has the cellphone and batarang holder. In the dark though, it almost blends with his suit, hard to see, whereas the DX12 has a shine even if there is only one light source in the distance.

Here ya gooooo

Does anyone have their Batman Begins suit in a DX12 belt? Is that more golden color better with the figures and more movie accurate? I have the DX12 belt on my DX02 because I think the gold pops better.

Finally got round to setting this figure up with the MRM sculpt. Not sure what I think about yet.

Did you have to mod it to make it fit the BB suit?

I don't wanna get one if it is difficult to mod the belt

Love this fkn suit.

Me too.

They went downhill with the subsequent Dark Knight MGS outfit with Jim Carrey 'Mask' cowl.

I put the DX12 belt on him just now, the one without compartments which is tighter, and it fit perfectly, so the other belt that he has pictured should fit just fine, if anything a little loose but is easily adjustable on these rubber body suits, much like the DX02 was for me. You don't need any modding or alterations.

Here ya gooooo

Nice pics! I have my DX12 belts on my DX12 and DX02 and a belt with no compartments on my HK extraction Bruce/Batman, so I do have a spare belt without any compartments on it to use. Would that look nice on the Begins suit do you think? Or is it better off to buy a new belt with compartments for $33 on eBay?

Also, I was considering kitbashing this Bruce Wayne outfit with the Begins Bruce Wayne head and the harness/straps from the Begins suit. I have no idea where to find the clothing he wears though, and I was wondering if anyone could help me out, or if you think it's worth attempting since I haven't seen any like this out there yet. Otherwise, if it proves too difficult, I may just get a table and put all the leftover gear on it for display, and then fit Bruce in a tuxedo for the birthday party scene. Cheers!

Here's mine, you can get most of the pieces off ebay with a little research.

^^ Absolutely beautiful!!! I had never seen these before so I didn't know it had been done before. Looks awesome, mate!! Where did you get the parts to make this, namely the shirt/pants/shoes? It would be really cool if they had a small 1/6 LED light that you could attach as the flashlight for his chest.

 

[steve74]

Thanks brother, the jeans are ACI "vintage", the boots a from playhouse and the shirt is just a white t that I dyed. I also added extra ropes and climbing gear found on ebay.

Very, very nice work there!

He's a bit harder to pose than the DX02, took a while to find one that looks good and this is the best I have for now, a generic walking pose grasping his cape in one hand and the tiny bomb thing in the other. I'm having trouble pushing the back leg further back so I had to just bend the knee back, but it's hard to see him taking a stride up front. I also wonder if his inability to turn his head was an inside joke alluding to the film (and the previous Batman films) I will try to experiment more with new poses but for now he stands next to the Tumbler as such. Nevertheless, at first, the figure looked weird with the Bruce Wayne head because it looked small compared to his build and body, but once I put on the Batman cowl, it looks beautiful. From photos, it hardly looks like the rubber that it feels like in your hand and it's a great looking suit! For $275 shipped brand new sealed without a broken ankle peg yet (fingers crossed ), I was happy to have gotten this last month. Now onto the Bruce Wayne cave bash!

Cheers!

Yeah, if you leave it there it will leave permanent indentations on the bat-sack. Seriously.
