Hot Toys DX09 - BATMAN - Batman (Michael Keaton) - Specs & Pics

[Karnis]

Yeah, it's my wifes' Sony Cybershot, when it's in the vertical orientation it really goes wacky.

It's a funky effect though.

Usually helps if you draw back...

The feet was the giveaway.

 

[MarfMaster]

Cool trick, but I can't imagine that's good for the cape!

 

[Karnis]

It hasn't complained yet.

It doesnt leave any kind of mark or anything. I think Maglor posted yesterday he did the same with double sided tape.

why are all the potato chips stale ? Because of the batman

 

[MaulFan]

The biggest surprise for me when I got this figure was how thin and light the cape is, it looks thick and heavy the way it folds and lays, I might lay even better with a little more weight but this certainly makes variety of caps poses easier.

I was hoping my arkham city game showed up today ..instead get tortured with more sweet pics of the bat while i wait...but talked to sideshow and joker still planned for march so wont be long for him....

You bring up a good point.

I would've paid extra for 2 capes.

The one that we got, which could be used for lots of posing effects.

Then another one not meant for any action poses, it would be made of a heavier material that would allow it to drape straight w/o any wrinkles, just a solid look.

Just a slab of smooth cape for clean non action poses.

Does that make any sense what i'm trying to describe.

The cape we got though does good work of trying to address both needs/looks.

But I would be lying if I said i'm not interested in a custom cape that was of the heavier design.

I bought a xtra just in case might want one for batman returns figure later on or to see how look's on begins suit......it was only 25 batsnacks....

 

[Cocoboloboy]

Yep, I agree, jye. I would have loved an unlined cape myself. Makes it a bit thinner and less poofy which should drape better. Not as accurate as what HT did but I bet it would look nice for most poses.

So relieved to hear, amongst all the other upgrades and tweaks, that HT also included the new recut "Natural hang" cape with the 2nd split shipment.

Dynamite stick 8 thrown...

 

[usswanker]

Looks good from the front but I'd watch out that those clips don’t put a permanent crease in your cape.

 

[pixletwin]

There is nothing that will convince me that using friggin alligator clips on a figure won't harm it.

That's what I was trying to say, "unlined cape"

Quick review

He was a _____ to get out of the box.

Black paper was a _____ to remove from under the belt.

I love him.

Great review!

Belt comes off

...here's the trick:

Good trick. I haven't found it necessary yet, but that's how I keep the cape in place on my custom Returns Bat.

It's a funky effect though.

Usually helps if you draw back...

Yep. Back up and zoom in.

It doesnt leave any kind of mark or anything. I think Maglor posted yesterday he did the same with double sided tape.

No sir!

ALERT!: Alligator clips create permanent 'dimples' in your fine, soft pleather.

I think they're called teeth marks once they puncture the fabric.

Correct zip-line gauntlet placement:

His fist should be all the way forward and the end of the gauntlet should meet up with the end of his regular gauntlet.




Incorrect placement/old signature pic:

Correct placement/fixed signature pic:

It should be noted that correct placement does not allow you to position the spikes pointing forward as the knuckle on his index finger is in the way.
