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

[Mr. EcKo]

The same crappy cape You would think after this time , hot toys could finally get a cape right.

 

[Mr. EcKo]

I'm happy with my DX09 with my Tony Meis cape.

They should make this and Reeve in 1/4.

I would buy those two in a heartbeat!

Love the base. Always dreamed about some kind of cathedral diorama for him and Joker.

The figure itself is completely indistinguishable from the original final production piece, so much so that I’m confident they just pulled a DX-09 out of the cabinet and stuck it on the new stand.

This is exactly what I think they've done. My thinking is they wanted some sort of response to InArt's recent plans for an 89 Batman, so why wouldn't you pull out an existing figure ?

With a bit of luck if they do decide to release him, they will spend a little time revising the patterns etc. But chances are they will simply go with the old plans / designs. That's quicker, easier and less work.

Putting a question to fans on social media what they should modify or improve would be just too difficult.

This legit looks like a behind the scenes photo of Michael Keaton posing with the scale model of the Batmobile! Excellent job on the pic!

Yeah, too bad they didn't update the cape. That thing looked bad even back then. I just bought a second one and cut out the inner lining and wire. Those Tony Meis capes are like $60, right? Nah.

I never understood how HT can do these amazing capes on their Thor figures with pleats and stuff that drape perfectly but their Batman capes look like something they threw together in a few minutes out of some scrap fabric they had lying around.

I finally got the DX09 and wow this figure is incredible. Tried to get some good photos but i feel it didn't really work as well I'd hoped. I love this figure though, and the cape will do for the time being. Just wanted to ask is there any ways i can take care of the rubber suit and mantain it's condition? I know that over time the suit can deteriorate and my room isn't humidity controlled or anything like that.

303 wipes or spray worked out. my rubber suit had this really strange chemical smell to it when i bought it from a local collector. 303 works, just let it dry afterwards. the rubber suit is pretty dang strong so i wouldnt worry too much about it. once every few months are fine.

Ohhh thats a chemical smell I'm smelling? I thought that was just the smell of the rubber and plastic cause my figure has a smell to it but I'm not sure what it is. Also thanks I'll search for that 303 stuff

for me, it felt a little toxic and very tacky in hand. always felt the need to wash my hands after touching the figure, but 303 after 2 passes did the job. not sure if its a rubber smell but not a rubber smell i've smelled before. some people had oil leaking issues with their dx09 so im not sure if mine had a leaking issue or not

Oh mine didn't feel like that. Wasn't oily or sticky really but a little bit cause of the rubber material. The smell isn't strong and it isn't terrible but i will do something to eliminate it and of course i gotta get a custom cape too

fusion collectibles or bill chaki on FB made a great and affordable drape cape but you might spend a bit more if you're outside the US. jaxon xu and tony mei are other known ones but jaxon takes forever to make them. almost 3+ month wait for your capes to arrive.

Yeah, i heard Jaxon Xu and Tony Mei did great capes. And I'm looking and they are a little expensive either way. I think the cape he comes with isn't awful, but it looks like a massive raincoat rather than a cape and it doesn't drape well and it's way too poofy. I also can't even pose his arms cause of the rubber and I'm 99% sure one of his arms have popped out of the socket at the elbow since the wrist peg is slightly visible compared to the other arm and i can hear a clicking sound anytime it's moved.

 

[Gowithasmile!]

Any way to fix the base? Brand new batteries and only one light works. I unscrewed the base but all that does is remove the bat symbol plate

You can get Jaxon Xu capes on onesixthkit. I ordered one for my dx19 and it was shipped 10 days after I ordered it. It must have been in stock because they show a 2 month lead time. It is way longer when you order from him directly.

yeah i received my dx19 real quick too. most likely we jumped into his first batch in time when POs went up. usually it does take real long for him to get capes out. whether its batfleck, vader, etc. anything that isn't new, he takes awhile on. i ended up cancelling my jaxon so someone who orders might get lucky into his next batch of dx09 capes

 

[Gowithasmile!]

My one question is why HT still can't get capes right lol. The DX19 is a brand new figure and yet the custom capes are still better

 

[Gowithasmile!]

Took some more photos of this guy. I really love this figure

Glad your enjoying the 89 Batman and Joker. They are among the best I have seen and glad to have them in my collection.
