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

[FLOSI]

The scallops don't bother me, but I prefer the texture of the cape from the first batch.

Rory, I know you're just the messenger, but I'm going to shoot you.

I wouldn't worry too much... that may just have to do with that section of material.

 

[Avenger]

I don't know if it's the different texture, but the 2nd batch cape looks like a lighter black tone too.

but its extremly OT. isnt there another thread for this crap?

 

[Jokes & Bats]

Well, I'm going to anyway

The differences that poeple are finding are so minor, they probably weren't even on purpose; it's just how the mould decided to make a Batman that day

OT? What's OT about it? It's discussion about the very figure in the title. If this isn't the place for it, I don't know what would be. If there's another thread, it needs combined with this one by a mod.

See, that's a cool response, and you may be right. You don't have to go all caps and yell at people though.

Love Batman's pose here - any close up pics?

heres a couple.











i LOVE that they inlcluded this gadget. i honestly wasnt even thinking of it when the figure was first announced, i was expecting the baterang and speargun but this is one gadget that was so neat yet never got a release in any form.

I think it is pretty damn on-topic, thank you very much.

Oh. Beach boys? I guess I missed that one.

I think scallops is the term Rory used to describe the points on the cape, not the food.

*Cheesus Crust. You are whinging about something that was almost 100 posts ago?


*I have been waiting to have an excuse to use that phrase.

They're all so frustrating.... damn them, can't they stay on my topic.

 

[MaulFan]

That's what I was also thinking.

It's surprising how much of a difference it can make, first figure I dealt with it on was the v1 TDK, I'm sure folks who got that figure will remember the "beer belly crisis", and once I learned of it, I checked my OC and it really changed the look of the figure, he had this big bear look to him the way it pushed the rubber suit out and it was like he instant shed 30-40 lbs after I popped the joint in place. Rory's comment about the belt angle immediately made me think of this as it could very well cause the things he's speaking of.

[TheFiend]

The difference with the capes is something I can get over quickly. When it's all set up I'm sure it won't even be noticed. I think I feel the same about the stomach area it's just now I have those comparison pics in the my head. But I'm certain it won't be noticed by a casual observer though

Rory, something you may want to check, HT Batman figures have been notorious for having the midsection joint misaligned, it still works, but it pushes the suits out adding bulk, my 2008 Begins and v1 TDK came like this, could be the case here, for some reason it seems to happen more with the Batmans, I can't think of a figure with cloth costuming where I've found this.

Yeah, my first thought was that something was twisted incorrectly, however it's the entire chest piece, from under the cowl, the chest the abs, everything, it's sculpted (accurately) under the rubber suit layer. It now matches the chest sculpt, before it didn't. So its a concious redesign I believe. My first one was loose under the suit (as were all the others from what I heard), you used to be actually able to push the suit in at several points.
