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

[K07]

Can you drape the cape to cove the dent? I'm nervous about that. The foot I can deal with. That dent? Horrible idea packing him with the harness on. Not looking forward to putting that cape on!

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.

My original OC came in that way. Just take the head off and stuff a small cotton ball inside the suit and that should fix it.

Yeah I think that's what did it, the harness belt.

If we have to replace a cape and stuff cotton balls down a $200+ figure, then something is really effing wrong there.

its so true

 

[EVILFACE]

Got to open mine up, broken right ankle.

WTG HT. Last 2 figures had issues.

 

[skeemer]

Finally just opened my Bat. Yes mine came in fine. Im having a feeling that the ones Sideshow shipped first wer the bad ones. I think

 

[Mr. EcKo]

Wow there all broken? How the F%CK does that happen hot toys?

How is it that almost every figures right ankle is broken?

Maybe it was a disgruntled HT worker that just said

"F$#K it " I gunna break all dees muda facks "

took me about 30 sec to stuff the cotton ball in the suit to fix the dent guys. Really, its not a big deal unless people want to make it look like it is.

The dent I could have dealt with...however the dent, a broken right ankle, and a broken right fist peg stuck in the forearm? That's a little much, don't you think? Especially for $200+ A couple figures is understandable, but there are several people on this forum alone experiencing the same issues. With the amount of money HT is making on these figures when all is said and done, they can afford some more careful packaging procedures IMO

For the price we are paying, you shouldnt have to 'stuff cotton ball to fix it man.

So his new cape is shorter then?

 

[Maglor]

dsokyra were you able to fit the triangle pieces into the pegs through the cape? Looks amazing btw!

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!

Nice! I was wondering about this. Good to know the figure wont have to be moded to get lforigno's cape to work.

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

Yeah, I have a feeling I won't be using that thing.

Ah, so that's what's causing the dent.

Guess who's voice I just heard in my head.

 

[Tyranus7]

Finally !!... SS is gonna take my order, now I am worried because all the issues...

 

[DiFabio]

Mine tomorrow . *Fingers Crossed*

Yep same here. I won't be home until late Thursday night though so I'll probably crack it open Friday.

I think if mine has any problems I'm going to either use the Demon Batman boot (if they're identical) or I'll just try and get a full refund.

If mine has that warped, dent, liposuction gut I'm not messing around, Sideshow can have it. If it's just the foot, I don't know. It'll depend on the Demon Batman. I have two Demon Batman figures, one I don't even care about, so I could always make due with swapping right boots granted they're identical and wait until a possible replacement comes in.

Or if it's that problematic I'll sell the damn thing and see if I can get more then what I paid. Pity.

It's too bad this is happening to people. It would be nice if we could all just open these and have problem free figures. Hell, that's the way it should be for ____ing $220. The only issues these things should have is the damage that occurs from US, i.e. mishandling/accidents not faulty QC problems.

Mine came today, this guy is a great looking figure and looks way better in person. The Bruce head sculpt is scary good and can't wait to get a suit so I can use the sculpt.
