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

[Maglor]

No coming off once it's dry. It's permanently one with the cape. Once acrylic dries it becomes water tight. You can actually use it on t-shirts and wash them.

With anything though if you are gonna give it a go, do it bit by bit. Add a wash, let it dry and so on.

Doin this right now

Watered down acrylics.
Half water/half paint.

Is this the precise measurement?

You sound like me when it comes to paint. I've been asking around in different threads concerning paint, technique etc and I always get a very short vague reply. I guess it's gonna be a lot of trial and error.

It isn't precise, I made some testing before on other fabric but with the experience now I ust do it on the feeling

and yes it's gonna be trial and error of course

Yes, of course, Mags.

Mix 3.423 millilitres of "Jet Black - Batman cloak Acrylic"
with 4.297 millilitres of "Batman - Fizz Free Spring Water" then apply with a flat horse hair 15mm brush. Allow to dry for 14.25 minutes before applying second coat.

apply with a flat horse hair 15mm brush. Allow to dry for 14.25 minutes before applying second coat....

And don't forget...only use the first 5.742mm of the tip of the brush or the finish just wont be natural.

Finally a straight answer!

I just use the first 5.742 of the end of the brush... and It's ruined...
damn, I just read wrong the instruccions

Just got this guy for $200. PERS stick seems incredibly difficult to move, but this is my first HT figure. Any tips?

 

[plastikul]

gohastings.com has 20% off using the code: FRIDAY. I snagged a DX09 Batman for $197 shipped.

 

[Haloid1177]

Okay, so after watching some reviews, I don't think my PERS on this figure are broken. I just can't get the joystick to move. I don't know how much force is appropriate. Any tricks to get this working? I figured it out on my Joker fairly quickly.

It manoeuvres in circles.

Be very careful. My PERS snapped on the left eye even though I used it only twice and it really pissed me off. If I were you I would leave him alone unless you really plan to pose him with the eye's in a different position.

You can unscrew the head plate and have a look, it's harmless and not technical at all. Other than that I'm not sure what to suggest. It's just like a socket inside and like vodoun mentions you just move it around in a circular motion

Did you buy it new or pre-owned?

Bought it from a local vender who had it in a case at his LCS. It's in immaculate condition (came with the box, all accessories, I packed it up myself), and I do not believe the PERS are broken, but the joystick just feels ridiculously stiff. I can move it in a circular motion, but only in a very small circle and I don't get anywhere near the top, bottom, or sides. Just a very small circle.

It is possible to fix. I might actually do a You Tube video and try and fix mine (I just straightened the eye's and left it alone). I can't see any vids on there explaining and it's a little hard to put down in words. There is a thread around here that has a guy explaining it but if I remember it's not in clear English.

The stick comes out separately from the piece that's attached to the eyeballs. It should just come out with a little bit of a jiggle.

Do the eye's move or do the stay still? Perhaps it's been jarred inside somehow? Not sure. It may be faulty.

 

[Haloid1177]

Eyes move ever so slightly.

I will say the eyes look perfect, but still.

You probably have a glue issue.

1) You can try wiggling it to loosen the glue or open up for inspection.
2) It snaps and your left with a broken PERS system.

That's about you're only 2 options unless you take it back to the store.
