1/6 Hot Toys DX19 - The Dark Knight Rises - 1/6th scale Batman Collectible Figure

[user 72759]

hello everyone, I would like to shorten the neck of my Batman without having to modify the part or cut it. is this possible?
Thank you!

You can shim the shoulders with some foam or something and lift the whole chest plate up which has the effect of shortening the neck without permanently changing anything.

In other news I picked up one of the newer Worldbox bodies with the seamless wrists and it works great for making a Bruce in suit that’s the same height as Batman.

Needed the longest neck peg which I trimmed down slightly on the side that connects to the body. The seamless hands are great though and the paint matches HT well with way more detail.

Which body is that exactly? I need to get one for my Bruce.

Thanks! Do you have any photo? I don't quite understand how to do the chest thing. About the shoulders I imagine that you mean to put foam under the shoulders, right?

Does somebody mind posting some pictures with the sonar head..? I really haven't seen a whole lot of pictures using it

No photos I can share but you can just stuff some foam in from the side under the shoulder plate or with the neck removed you can slide it through the collar. You can test out how high you want it by just pulling the chest piece up as high as you can before the armpit straps stop it’s movement.

Speaking of the sonar head, while on the 1/4 it's easier to access the battery compartment and light switch, on this one it's much too fiddly.

It is what I have done more or less with mine putting foam rubber that came on the dx19 and I have also modified it as dictated by Ot custom without breaking anything and it looks very good

That seems to work with the cape down, but when I say shim I mean insert them under the actually trapezius area of the chest armor so it makes the whole chest piece sit a bit higher, if done right you wont need to see any of the foam outside of the armor. The whole chest and upper back armor floats on the figure and can be positioned higher up.

I'm not sure I understand. I used the Worldbox AT020S body with the longest neck peg, I did trim about 2mm off the base of the neck peg (the side that inserts into the torso) to reduce the height ever so slightly to match my custom DX19.

Hey, I finally got this figure and was wondering if anyone knows where I can get a wired cap now? If not, I'll order one from Jaxon via OSK, but I'm impatient!

Bill Chaki On FB. I bought two of his DX09 capes and they’re excellent. I’ll be getting a DX19 cape from him as well.

I just got my DX19 and I’m trying to decide if I want Bill’s (Fusion’s) drape cape or wired version.

Thanks! I don't have Facebook, so it looks like I'll be using my partner's account!
I'll be going for the wired version since it already comes with a drape cape.

Hope you enjoy it! It's a fab figure!

Is there a way to lengthen the neck of the sculpted bruce wayner? Esque looks very rare when I put it on the body with the costume of pop toys

You could put one of the neck sockets that drops down from the sculpt on it but you would have to cut out the original one. It would be best to use a body that works well so you dont have to risk damaging the sculpt.
