I agree with Mag, the boots/feet do need to be flat against the ground.

I don't see any swoosh.
Notice it's on the outer side of the shoe facing out on the actual boot,
The swoosh isn't on the inside of the shoe facing in,
On the figure, it appears to be the same exact way,
You must be a pretty hard guy to please. Do you do this with all prototype releases?
I guess I just don't understand the thought process in not enjoying good product pictures and continually stating potential problems when the actual figure hasn't even been released yet. We've seen some real stinkers when initial products pop up. Those are meant with harsh criticism and photoshops. We've also seen some great pieces, (which, according to the general consensus,this '89 Batman figure is) and those are meant with enthusiasm and good feelings.
Yeah, there are whats and ifs all throughout this topic about what the final product will be, and that's fine. I've speculated on potential problems as well. But to continually be cynical over and over again? That's something else.

They may not be able to do the Nike Swoosh for copyright infringement.

Yeah there's no way they get to use the swoosh without paying Nike, and I don't see that happening, it won't bother me either way but I know some folks are against it.

I cut me some Nike Swoosh's and added them to all my foot wear, even my slippers
Go ahead Nike, sue me

Maybe. Why is that important to you?
It's ok you don't need to understand why I point out potential flaws I see, and I never said I didn't enjoy the photos, you're making assumptions.
Again, if my posts bother you don't read them.

Well, there's something sculpted where the swoosh would be. It has a curve to it, but whether it's actually a swoosh is unknown.
It might just be a random, sculpted curved "plating" that Hot Toys put in because they couldn't get the rights to the Nike logo and symbol.
I'm glad the Nike text logo isn't there. These look like actual boots instead of done up shoes, like Maglor stated. Having the Nike crap while accurate, wouldn't sit right with me. I can't get over how accurate and detailed they are regardless. They got everything right.

I think you misunderstood Maglor though. Even though the NIKE logo isn't there, I took his comments as he still doesn't like the look of the HT movie accurate design.
Am I right Mag?
If so I don't agree with you,
I like what HT did. I'm really really happy they stuck with the movie design minus the logo.Mag's sworn statement, evidence #1:
Well they certainly look like what the actor wore. But they don't look like what I pictured Batman wearing in my minds eye.
I know I'm in the minority, but I would have liked to see them use some artistic license to make them look like one solid boot rather than jimmy rigged Nikes.

It's not really important to me. I don't particularly care what your opinion is as it doesn't effect how I view this thing. You hate it? Good, if you can articulate why you don't, more power to you. I don't care. I just thought it was peculiar that all you do in this thread is pick out potential problems that have yet to be seen and assume that there's going to be something wrong. You have nothing positive to contribute about this figure, you don't seem to like it and I noticed. That's it really.
Your posts don't bother me. I just find your supposed prerogative odd
"Da rubber sucks, Da rubber sucks, Da rubber ducks!"
"
""
"Yeah, it's got rubber parts, yes they could potentially leak and deteriorate quickly. It's a fear that we've all brought up and discussed. But you, you're like a broken record.
If you don't like the figure and have nothing good to say about it (and you haven't said anything good about it), why do you keep coming in here?

Yeah, I saw that. But it still doesn't look like a Nike Swoosh to me.
That's what I think. Just a curve to fill the space where the swoosh would be.
And he is still going...........
I never said I "hate it", but keep putting words in my mouth. If you didn't care about my opinion you so much you wouldn't have spent the time and energy searching, quoting, and replying to every single post I've made in this thread.
I think you misunderstood Maglor though. Even though the NIKE logo isn't there, I took his comments as he till doesn't like the look of the HT movie accurate design.

Let me clarify: Even though the Nike symbols aren't there they still look like jimmy rigged athletic shoes to me.
Screen accurate (with the exception of the Nike symbols)? Yes.
But I would have liked a boot that looks like I imagined the boots looked - all one piece with continuos lines uninterrupted by a shoe stuck on the bottom of them.
As I said, I'm surly in the minority. And really, it's a minor nit-pic.
All I really ask is that the ankles articulate.
