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

[CriterionCollector]

Is there something wrong with the fact that mine arrives today and I'm just kind of "meh?"

 

[Maglor]

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.

How's the boot and abdomen?

Why are you even getting this figure, again?

Because

But if anyone has a P2 Elder Pred I might be willing to throw him in as trade bait!

 

[Mr. EcKo]

He's lik MEH because all the hype about this figure has died and probably owns the older OC BATS . Now the new one, your getting a BW sculpt & a harness . I want mine bad but i feel i'll be sorta meh too

 

[CriterionCollector]

Don't own the OC. I own the TDK though.

How's the boot and abdomen?

The boots are fine but the abs are a lil messed up. It's hard to explain, but it's like the the suit is more puffed out on the left side around his ribs. I've got him posed where it's hard to tell and it really doesn't bother me that much. I'm just glad to have this guy in my collection.

 

[JMW326]

Yay!!! Mine shipped and should be here Friday.

 

[Spliff]

Not only did I get one with a bum boot, but the suit was warped to hell and a hole was indented into it around his neck. Yay.

 

[Tyranus7]

How can HT sell things for $200+ and not have a proper quality control or something .. !!

 

[Gipetto0812]

Finally got a tracking number, but it still hasn't shipped, just the label made

should ship tomorrow

So his new cape is shorter then?

doesn't look like it judging by dsokyra's pics. I wouldn't really know since my TDK "long" didn't turn out to be so long after all

 

[DiFabio]

Man, I am not looking forward to this anymore.

How hard is it to simply remake the figure and produce/manufacture it the way you did back in 2008? Everything about this release should be identical to the OC Batman except the newly developed head with swappable faces, Bruce Wayne head and harness.

Oh, that's right cheaper quality.

 

[Adrosi]

I had pre ordered but cancelled and then reordered and wait listed it...then conversion email just now. I re-read the last few pages of this thread...got nauseous and just re-cancelled it by phone. Feel a lot better now.

Tooooooo much money for this thing. Even if everyone said they ****** their pants at the sight of it. (that might have impacted my decision a little differently) but with all the issues....YUCK. Take this money sink away from me.

I'll just look at the pictures for free

 

[Spliff]

I don't even know how it happened since nothing was pushing up on it.

CriterionCollector didn't even like Batman Begins so...

Hole in the neck?!

Man, that's awful Spliff. I'm thinking these are deformities and have nothing to do with how they're packaged with the harness. I mean, the cowl headsculpt wasn't even on the body to cause that indentation, the regular Bruce Wayne head was.

I bet these Sideshow batches were after thoughts and rushed. Probably to capitalize on the demand. It looks like the sculpt of the rubber suffered because of this and lost it's integrity during the manufacturing process which led it to be so misshapen in places.

 

[Avenger]

Ugh. I guess this one's a lemon with all the problems. I find it hard to believe there's this much of a problem with this figure. If mine comes tomorrow with a problem, I'm just sending it back for a refund and being done with it. I'll have to use the custom cape that's on its way to me elsewhere or sell it off. Just not worth the headache.

I think you're right. I suspect HT asked the factory if they could rush a batch through for a certain deadline, and the factory said "yeah, sure!". Then they worked triple over time to do these as fast as humanly possible. HT should have just told everyone "sorry, toy fair exclusive only". If this is in fact as wide spread as it seems at this point, it's going to cost HT and SSC more than it's worth.

Dreading tomorrow night when this arrives.

 

[Voorhees27]

You guys crack me up.

 

[Gates70]

Hmmm, either SS likes me or there's been a lot of cancelations. I put myself on the waitlist yesterday and it converted tonight. With all the problems I've been reading about, I'm kinda worried now.
