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

[Custo]

Just received mine. A few things:
-No indented abs
-Feet are both intact and not loose
-That cape was a PAIN to get in.

Avenger, yes mine did come with dented abs on the right side...and a broken foot...fixed the foot, any suggestions for the abs people?

 

[Voorhees27]

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!

Perfect! Thats exactly what I had planned, great minds I guess

Thanks again for sharing, mine should be here any day now.

You make the cape futzing look effortless. I trust it's just that good.

I'm sorry to hear that man. I don't have any suggestions for fixing it, but I'm hoping you get it resolved to your liking, quickly and painlessly.

Yeah I fear that there is no fix for the ab problem...as for the cape, I am a horrible futzer...the cape is just that good!

Got the figure a couple hours ago. The Bruce sculpt blew me away. My favorite figure so far. lforigno's custom cape does look that awesome in person. It's a must have for this figure.

I adore the Bruce Wayne sculpt, it's epic! The best HT sculpt in my opinion

Mine got delivered about an hour ago. I get off in less then 2 hours I cant wait to see this bad boy. Btw is that custom cape the same as how you put the Ht cape? This is my first batman thats why I ask. And I need to get that custom cape.

Wheres that suit from dsokyra?

 

[BlitzOUT]

Just used Sideshows online chat help program and in less than a minute I was abe to find out how much the cost of shipping was for this figure. Such a helpful team and surprisingly fast.

 

[dsokyra]

Yeah it's the same way...if you look at the cape pegs in this pic you can see they go through the cape...you need to line it up and poke holes in the cape material, but it's worth it...it doesn't look right if you don't peg it through the cape

 

[dsokyra]

Wheres that suit from dsokyra?

It's actually a Medicom suit on a Truetype narrow shoulder body...I bought it on here from a fellow freak

I got my Bats today, and I don't have much to offer in the way of insight, but a few points:

1) I got the right boot problem as well. It's not 100% broken - I can "secure" the peg into it, but it just doesn't look like there's enough plastic in the boot's hole, or something, it looks incredibly shallow. Whether that's the cause or not, the right boot is VERY loose, and I don't see him standing on it for too long.

I had this with DX Bats, but I didn't realize this was an issue with that as well. I guess this explains why so many people can have him displayed without a stand, but mine barely stays upright even with a stand.

2) The Bale sculpt looks incredible in person. I was blown away by it when I first saw it, then gradually became less impressed with it. Pictures don't do it proper justice, as I've actually been starting to think the pictures I've seen of it sort of look like Michael Cera.

3) I laughed out loud when I saw the "dooooooooo" mouth piece.

Whoa dsokyra! Did you try to fix that dent, as in took the suit apart to see what's wrong or something? I hope its not an issue with the rubber mold.

Yeah...sucks...looks like it just got folded that way and stayed...I'm still brainstorming to come up with a fix...any suggestions would be greatly appreciated

Have you called sideshow? Maybe you don't need to try to fix it and can just get a replacement. Broken foot and a dent in the abs is pretty defective to be trying to fix IMO.

I called SSC and couldn't get through to the returns/replacements dept. but I was able to leave a message...My guess is that judging by what I've been reading on here, there have been a lot of defects with this figure and it will need a lot of replacements...my concern is that this was alledgedly a limited run.

Won't know till you get through to them. Keep trying.
