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

[Pazu]

Arrived in Vancouver, customs + duties not as horrible as I imagined but still pretty bad ($38). First toy ever from Sideshow, hope it's a good one.

Clackers! My Bats is currently languishing at Stansted custom's whilst her majesty's finest decide just how much they're going to sting me for. I wouldn't mind but it inevitably takes a week for them to make their bleeding minds up!

mine is the same mate, although mine is supposed to be here by friday so we will see. Apparently you get the customs bill a couple of weeks adter the package is delivered

65 for me to Madrid

After, Spidey, I won't buy anything else in SS, not their fault, but I will try to buy in UK webs in order to avoid customs...

Batman sad.

65€???? Wauuu, i´m from Guadalajara, 6€ more.... it´s crazy!!!
This is my last figure from SS, i buyed Electra last year and custom cost me 81€, almost 50% of figure value. In this case, is lower thant this, but is too high for me.

Word of caution for you guys. Be extremely careful when swapping the heads out. Mine got stuck and yah... it's not like you can really hold anything tightly because the rubber suit isn't really on tight. By the time I finally swapped things out, I found that I've damaged the suit.

Just took mine out of box.

no problems so far apart from I cant get the head and cape on lol?

Any tips?

For the head I used a blow dryer to warm it up. For the cape put your index into thebody and press the clips in with your thumb. Pretty hard to explain. Just keep at it and it'll go in. Make sure you follow the directions and remove the round clips on the cape itself.

Oh my god....

Sorry mate....I can't believe that we pay 250 dollars for this...and you have to be so careful.

What the ____? So they did add a layer of paint to this.

I bet this ____ peels off after awhile and underneath is an OC looking Batman suit. That's probably why this sucker looks bad in a lot of pics and is such a dust magnet. They added a coat of ____ on this. Why the hell would they do that? Hahahahaha.

WAS THINKING MORE...

Mine just came a few minutes ago. An image like this is extremely disheartening.

I don't know if this is sarcasm or not but with it being $250...wouldnt you think to be extra careful?. Price doesn't imply durability.

If anything a higher price should command greater attention to care. I haven't even pulled mine out of the plastic yet, I feel like I need gloves to touch this thing to prevent paint rub.
