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

[Mart_P]

How are the feet Mart?

No problems thankfully, exactly the same as the OC figure.

For anyone not wanting to go through the headache of getting a replacement boot...I peeled back the rubber on the boot and used some thick super glue to fasten the broken piece back onto the boot...I then let it sit overnight and this morning the ankle peg slipped right in without breaking it again...its loose, but at least It's fixed. I might go back and put some clear nail polish in there at some point to tighten it up, but I really don't plan to have Batman in a dynamic pose. Hope this works for you guys!

This seems to be definitely a bad batch... I am still trying to SS sell me the figure (they do not take cc from my country).. should I keep pushing to get the figure?? how bad the loose ankle is?? anyone has pictures?

Good deal. Glad to hear yours is okay.

I don't know that enough people have gotten it to make a proper recommendation. Being overseas, that complicates it even more for you. You have to decide if you'd be okay having to do repairs on your figure or dealing with SSC or Hot Toys for a replacement boot. I suspect you could find a way to work things out, but it may be a headache. So, balance that against how much you want the figure and go from there.

I am happy to report that mine is just perfect no issues. I was never able to get an OC Bats, I am one happy camper.

You have to take the round fasteners off of the back and just push the pegs into the body suit. Poor design IMO because you have to push really hard to get them in there...do it without the head on and use your fingers to grab the mounts on the suit from underneath a little while you're pushing the pegs in...I hope that makes sense

Thanks Im having the same issue. hope this will help me as well. Also, doesnt seem to have much neck articulation and to be honest not a figure worth the price they charged. The DX was cheaper and a better figure IMO. kinda disappointed.

Yeah I kinda agree...definitely not worth the price with all these broken ankles and the cape peg design flaw IMO...however I had the Takara Bats before and none of the other HT ones, so I am loving how great this guy looks...plus I just put on a custom velvet black cape made by lforigno...and it is AWESOME!

Called SS today and said my batman is down in their shipping department

but they said it should ship out today if not then tomorrow. the wait sucks. Thought I would've had it in my hands by now. hopefully it gets here by the end of the week at least

i got mine today and both of my batman feet is loose. I took it out to see if its broken, there was a little plastic chip off however it can still stand on its own =P

 

[dsokyra]

Here are some quick pics of the figure with lforigno's custom "hero template" velvet cape...I'm not a photographer so I hope these do it justice...these are just to give you an idea...you can see it is heavier and therefore drapes around the figure much more naturally than the stock cape...it really does look awesome in person

 

[lforigno]

wow looks awesome

 

[Lord Piper]

wow looks awesome

[Voorhees27]

Does yours have the issue with the dented in abs on Batman's right side?

Yeah I just put it where I wanted it and used a pin to puncture holes in the cape to line up with the holes on the suit...worked perfectly!
