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

I really hate rubber bodies/suits and poorly possible bodies, but... the likeness is just too damn awesome.
It's my favorite DC movie, one of my favorite actors... and this figure looks too damn ****in' good!
It's been years, still happy I've got it at release.

Wish they did Alfred tho. Michael Gough was so sweet and memorable in the role...

My favourite Batman cinematic outing to-date, and rubber body + poor articulation notwithstanding -- one of my favourite 1/6 pieces ever.

Just wonder has anyone tried to cut out the armor and glued it onto a flexible suit to improve the articulation ?

Somewhere in this thread, way back, are photos of just that. At least I think it was this one, and not the Returns thread.

Somebody did that for the Begins suit, for sure.

This is one of the few figures that I don't think they can do any better on

after having this figure for a while now, there is one thing that I miss the most: ratchet articulations on the arms and legs, since as time passes it is getting more and more difficult for this figure to hold even the simplest pose.

Everything else, it's ok. But that is something I wish they would have foreseen and included.

Ratchet joints would of been nice, Thankfully HT learned their lesson for Batman Returns fig.

The best way I found to improve articulation was to swap the body out for a new hope vader body and fill the speaker holes in with some milliput. You have to cut the neck down to get the cowl to fit.

Here was a w.i.p photo I took about a year ago.

Bought the Hero Club Bat Signal the other week. It's far too bright to photo well, but it looks fantastic in person!

I'm thinking of getting that signal too. How's the scale look with the figure?

Yeah I did. Worked pretty well too. I never put the knee pads on. I should find those.

I think it looks pretty good, to be honest. It might not be 100% totally accurate, but it looks fantastic next to it. Plus it has the changeable signal/logo.

Wow, could you share some pictures of your modified one please. Thanks.

The signal is great I have mine next to my 89 ride with bats flying down behind the light. It is super bright to take pic's of it.

 

[highlander1]

A few quick pic's.

Received my HeroClub batsignal too. I instantly interverted the 89 logo on the transparent faceplate. It is so much more classy and accurate for me than the wrong yellow one and closer than this:









And for the pleasure, a close up of my battle damaged:

 

[Cicada17]

Wow, Rondesmo! Looks great! And how did you futz that cape so well?
