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

[vodoun]

As i said, i've never done any customising or painting, so dont know anything about it. What would you say is the best/easiest way for a total beginner to do it without the risk of f-ing it up royally?

Acrylic. When it's water based you can't ruin it with too much like enamel. Then you have to start messing with thinners and those wreak even more than the paints. Your house/flat/dorm will be stinking for a day or two with them.

Tamiya does nice gloss acrylic paints. It's just as good as enamel but without the odour and doesn't take silly hours to dry. I've used this. It would be the perfect gloss.

easiest way if you just want the glossy look would be to buy a small bottle of gloss varnish a nylon paint brush and and just add about 2-3 light coats and you should be good to go

True. So many ways to achieve it. Model polish wax as well. Or even just clear gloss acrylic.

What happend was that i ordered tamiya black gloss paint from ebay a month ago and it still hasnt arrived so i grew impatient and i bought the enamel paint from a local art store

I'm pretty sure its a rubber suit over the body, but I've never had a HT Batman, only Takara...but it looks like HT does the same thing.

yep black TT body with the two piece rubber suit over it. There's the "pants" that go on first then the upper body portion goes on afterwards and attaches underneath the crotch area

I know they said that there were so many orders that they would be shipping on Thursday and Friday, so ill bet they'll still be processing tomorrow for Fridays shipments.

That's what I've been saying...this has been far from a standard release...all kinds of abnormalities.

obviously a lot have been sold...better to be patient and wait then to have missed out altogether had these ONLY been sold at that Toy Fair and not internationally.

True...I remember when everyone was in panic mode when no one knew if this would be available for order at all...how far we've come

 

[Glennfett]

and add to that my friend Ebay prices IF it was only sold at the TF...remember that seller that was trying to sell this figures for a ridonkulus price....lol.

Yeah I feel sorry for the people who took the bait and paid that ridonkulus price for it...wait, I guess I don't really

This wasn't available to many other parts of the world and the only way to get a hold of it was and still is through ebay for them.
