Hey guys,
I have a question that's slightly off topic (sorry). I have a slight dilemma and could really use you guys's input. Luckily, I have this awesome batman and deadpool on order right now, so I'm good there. I have enough cash right now for one more. I'm stuck between the nightmare batman and Rey and BB-8. In your opinion, which is the better value or which would you choose if you could only choose one? I know it's probably an easy choice if you're either a batman fan or Star Wars fan, if you can, try to be neutral. I'm a fan of both. Again, sorry I'm off topic, Thanks so much guys!

im a batman fan ,but ill try to not be biased with my answer.
go for the knightmare batman because:
its a unique look which we probably wont get to see anymore,whereas with rey she will be in 2 more star wars films and they will produce more reys down the line for sure.
so yeah go with the knightmare batman for sure,because when its gone,its gone for good
 
Many people will suggest knightmare bats as he is a one off. Value wise he is the better option. There will be other rey versions but without bb-8. You could always get bb-8 loose anyway to go with another rey version while still getting knightmare bats. That is my unbiased opinion.

My own biased opinion would suggest you get rey and bb-8 as I do like her outfit and have no interest in knightmare bats whatsoever despite being a huge batman fan (have 3 bale bats made by HT and the regular and armored bvs bats on order). No interest in the rey resistance outfit too.

Yea you might be right. Did you talk to him directly or just guessing that he did it by adding putty?
He said he used Tamiya Putty on his Facebook post.

Go for Knightmare Batman. There's still Episode 8 and 9 for you to pick up a Rey figure. Doubt we'll see Knightmare Batman anytime soon.

As a DC fan and a Star Wars fan (although I'm a bigger DC fan) I would say go for Knightmare Batman. As others have mentioned it's the most unique Batman look we've ever had on film. He's going to be wait listed soon I'd assume before he begins shipping in the US. Rey will probably be around for a while and She could stick around for long enough time for you to maybe pull the trigger on her too. Go for Batman.
 
After seeing Clippers unboxing and reviews of this fig i knew i needed it after being on the fence. So i pre ordered it from forbiddenplanet £219 posted. Gotta wait a month but i dont mind waiting a month to save a hundred quid

You'll be waiting longer than a month mate.. Both FP's seem to take longer to get their stock than most stockists, I have my bats ordered at CDUK I don't expect to get it until November/December time so you'll be lucky to get yours this year..

Personally, I'm skipping both of those. If I add Rey to my collection I'd prefer her to be in a Jedi-like outfit vice the outfit we saw in TFA; as for the Nightmare Batman, I'm not adding him because he's not THE Batman we all know...just an out-of-uniform Batman from a small scene in the movie. Both may be cool but they don't warrant the space in my display or the cash out of my pocket.
 
:thud: putty, ah..no, if that doesn't hinder the articulation, I would be surprised. Also using putty under that material on the suit might degrade the material over the course of a few years depending how much he used and how how it was sculpted on the plastic

Is putty known to degrade rubber and suits?
 

I'm really not a fan of this modified figure, sometimes less is more.
If anyone wants to beef up the arms I recommend adding a little piece of foam or anything else that can easily be removed.

It's your call of course..but I'm pretty sure Rey will sell out once SSC gets their stock in. People will go hog wild posting pics of her. Because of the many looks and articulation combos. So many options to do with her, who cares if there are other versions coming out, they' ll have other bats as well. As for Bats, other than the angry face option I could use for the regular version, I don't see this really selling out. At least for a while anyway. I would keep the Rey and Bb-8 combo, it's probably the best deal for the price. :lecture

You can always get Knightmare bats on a discount from SSC around x-mas time. I do honestly believe once SSC starts shipping out the Rey, the Star Wars fandom is going to go ballistic on how great of a collectible she is to own.
 
Is putty known to degrade rubber and suits?

Yes..I've used it many times. Putty is best when sculpting or additional uses on non material objects like statues, action figures were the clothes are molded to the body or models that don't require any synthetic material.

If he used Tamirya putty, that putty works best with plastic but again how he applied it, the smoother the better.

Exactly...just stuff a little cotton or TP in there to beef him up.

I'm a huge batman fan, but I say, go for Rey.
For me personally, I would get Knightmare if I have some disposable income. I would get reg batman first, then armored bats next...and if I want to be a completist, get Knightmare.
But Knightmare only as an added bonus. If there's a figure that I dont have, this case...Rey, that I would really like to have, then I would get that figure first, cause for me...Knightmare is nice as an extra addition.
 
Looks like he only beefed up the shoulders and the upper portion of the chest so I don't think articulation is hindered too much. The rest of it comes from his repainting and shading on the suit to give it some better definition. He likes doing museum poses so I imagine that wasn't even a concern for him. Works well with Batman anyways.

Material looks the same when you compare it at the shoulder. He just futz it properly.

Geez...Owen is the man!!!
That is perfection there! Wow! :clap

Yeah I was thinking that too, it'll most likely be late December/January before forbidden planet get it.
I ordered one from them cos it was the cheapest & I can always cancel it.
I also ordered the rifle exclusive from sideshow & the tech cowl version from Hong Kong.
Covering all my bases lol :)
Hong Kong one is in transit in the uk now.
Il mod one, keep one standard & if I keep the fp one il have him in a dynamic pose

when i watched the theatrical version, i sat in my chair thinking, this was one of the best Superhero movies i had seen...in fact better than all of them except for dark knight and CW. i loved it from the word go. yes its flawed, SO WHAT. people get so involved in being critical that they miss the point. its a superhero movie for us to watch the spectacle of. anyone who is not a critic that spends more than 3 minutes complaining and nitpicking (the IGN user) really need to rethink their lives. I'm not talking about fans sitting around a beer or 2 talking about what they liked and didn't like, no. I'm talking about the haters. the people who just want to piss and moan.

i loved this movie and the ultimate edition was even better. its not the greatest of all time. no. but my 2 favorites outside of star wars are batman and superman. and to that end, i thought this movie was a load of fun and i look forward to all the DC movies. i personally enjoy the grit and darkness. you don't have to. but you don't have to whine about it endlessly either. i hated the tobey maguire spidermans. thats about as much as I've said about them.

so put me in camp 5.

Loved it. Definite buy. all of them.

You are a man of taste- BvS has to be in the top 5 of all superhero movies made- I think as years go on it will be better appreciated..
 
Agreed. The more I watch the movie, the more I like it. It has flaws, sure ... But it isn't horrible like a lot of people are saying.
