HOT TOYS - DX15 - Batman Returns KEATON BATMAN

[Ponyboy]

It's funny if you offered me both of those figures, I'd take the bottom one.



What Fiend and I are referring to is the delined stock cape. It hangs just as well is Tonys but it looks and feels more like real leather.
Not as plasticky. Not a negative about Tony, I love his stuff.

LOL! Different strokes for different folks, eh?

Yeah I like the more leathery look of the stock cape. I didn't know you could could deline the stocker. I take it you'd have to cut it open to do that?

 

[Rorywan]

That'd be amazing.

Always meant to try that. Looks like a bit of an ordeal though. I wanted to do it to recast the chest area smoother like film version.
And eliminate any rubber of the figure. It's doable I think.

 

[murilopj]

My figure doesn't have that problem.

i think they all have, man. it didn't show up in the protype, but hot toys got sloppy when making the molds for mass production.



one can only hope a little more care with the dx15.

Never planned to get this, but I wanted desperately to see it... it also indicates a good chance of Catwoman or Penguin or both, which is absolutely MUST HAVE. I'm an '89 Bat suit type. Might grab the cape from this one though if its better. Sucky *** '89 cape.

You don't lie. That 89 bats cape sucks major donkey balls.

Stock (delined) cape..

Yup. I like Tonys stuff but the material that HT sourced for the 89 cape is far superior. Its nearly perfect. It has that great leathery bat skin look to it. It just needs to be futzed correctly, or have the wire and lining taken out. Now, I'll freely admit futzing that cape will break even the most patient of men. But if done right its perfect. De-lining and de-wiring is easy though. I owned Tonys cape, I sold it.

 

[TheFiend]

But there's a Ripley from Alien too. That's the big grab.

Yeah, but they glued pubes to her head. Mega pass.

How would one go about delining & dewiring the stock cape?

I'd like to know this, too--just got my 89 and I love him, but the cape is a little too thick and billowy. Is it a difficult fix?

Ask jokes and bats or Rory on the DX09 thread, and please let me know how to do it when you figure it out! I suck at it!

 

[Giantqtipz]

in the announcement poster thing on the first page... I really really really hope they make a 1/4 version of this arg

You need a small but sharp pair of scissors. Remove the cape completely and locate somewhere where the inner material is sewn to the outer material. Cut the inner material away making sure you stay inside the stitching on the outside edge. You must only cut the inner material.

I've tried to draw a picture - I only have Paint and it looks like I have the handwriting of a child buy I hope it helps.

Now to get an extra cape to do this to....

 

[paramoremcr88]

Thanks J&B!

 

[melkorjunior]

Thanks for the tip, Jokes and Bats--but I'm all thumbs so I think I'll just stick to futzing the cape! I'm sure I can find a way to fold it properly so it'll lay flatter.

this looks sexy, Wasn't collecting when dx09 came out so this is an instant buy for me. hopefully they include a keaton sculpt.
