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

[koolkollectibleskhai]

Finally got the Detolfs setup and now putting out the DX figs. First up is DX09 Batman! Love this guy! No oil problem that I can see, and everything seems perfect.

Just need to pose the cape a little better - I saw a youtube video by moggie215 that has the best cape pose I've seen. Will definitely steal that pose!! Looks like the cape is flowing beautifully in the wind

Hey! I could have swore they were cheaper like 2-3weeks ago.

The screws hold the bat plate & the bottom on. Take a small screw driver and carefully push the bottom out from the top of the display base through the stand hole.

I hear what guys are saying about the light up feature but if I'm going to pay these types of prices for figs, every damn feature better work!

Hey, has anyone had their gaunlet plastic forearm cover slip off the arm when changing hands?

I wasnt sure how to change the hands so I just pulled on the fist out of the box. The whole fist with the little knob come out, and the forearm gaunlet piece slipped off the arm.

Now I cant quite slip the gaunlet piece back onto the forearm as far up the arm as it used to be because the rubber suit seems to stop me from pushing it further. Anyone have any ideas?

Also, how do you actually change the hands? I cant seem to get the little knob off to put the other hands onto it.

Please help!!

Please see pics.

OMFG!!! I have broken my figure!!! When I tried to put the fist back, I then tried to articulate the first back and forth like the other hand. But then it SNAPPED OFF!!!!.

So now the fist has the little tiny knob stuck in it, and the other part of the knob is attached to the arm and it's hard to get off!!!

WTF do I do now???? I CANT BELIEVE I _____ED UP MY FIGURE!!!

Please help!!!

 

[koolkollectibleskhai]

OK, I just remembered that they provided some spare pegs in the box!!!, so at least I can try to attach a new hand. But with the tiny little piece stuck in the fist, I assume my fist is pretty much useless now??? Any idea on how I would get it out, or am I screwed?

Can anyone still advice me on how to actually get the hands off without taking the knob off too??

 

[koolkollectibleskhai]

These are my first Hot Toys figures, so I'm new to this!! Why are there no instructions on how to remove the hands????

Ermm.... you pull them off.

just got this bad boy and im lovin it, suit scares me beyond belief though gonna leave him very static and trying to find a way to pad or wrap the crotch cradle, i feel like it will either stick to the thighs or push through them over time....has this issue been covered ??

 

[Crimsonbob]

Sometimes i swap or just bend the crotch holder and have it more open and lower down inside the thighs.

 

[toomanyfigures]

yup i have it as loose as possible right now, would have been nice to have a peg into the back of the belt maybe, hes got great balance but my with my shelving the stand is a must

 

[Snake Plissken]

I suggest getting one of the old Sideshow waist hugger stands and open up the fork to give it wiggle room so it does not press into the rubber. I sent my Bats back and got another, after the stand left 2 deep dents in his thighs, never use a stand with a rubber figure.

The Sideshow stand worked like a charm on my new one. He can already stand on his own, but if for some reason a outer force moves him the stand keeps it from falling. It just lightly presses on his utility belt.

 

[koolkollectibleskhai]

Does everyone elses forearm gaunlets move freely over the top of the rubber suit? The one that slipped off feels a little tighter than it used to. The one that did not fall off seems to be able to rotate on the arm a bit easier over the suit. Is this an issue?

 

[koolkollectibleskhai]

Ermm.... you pull them off.

Yeah, I tried that and it got me into all this trouble!!!

I assume removing the hands should really just pull it off the knob, not take the knob off the arm too? Or is doesnt really matter?

 

[koolkollectibleskhai]

Also, is everyone's figure perfectly symmetrical? I find that my figure is not perfectly symmetrical. That is, when he stands straight on, I have to adjust the legs differently for him to stand straight, as though the legs are not perfectly even or something. Anyone else find this?

If the joint stays in the hand just pop the whole thing in hot water in the sink for a bit then it will pull off nps.

 

[Snake Plissken]

Yeah mine don't fall off or anything. But they are easy to move and twist. I prefer it though, it allows changing positions for poses easy.

get a good feel for the cuts and joints under the suit, make sure everything is facing the right way, really helps to know the body articulation points

yeah, I think I checked all that. But it still feels like one leg needs to be moved outwards for a wider stance than the other so that he stands straight. Or do you guys all have figures with legs that are perfectly symmetrical for him to stand straight?
