1/6 Hot Toys-MMS 236-TDK Armory (with Batman, Alfred, and Bruce Wayne Figures)

[dw316]

I just got my MMS67 w/ TF cowl and I'm lovin' it. I think the main issue is the PERS on the cowl on the DX12 that people want to look better (they've fixed the mouthplates part with the armory release I think), I love the DX12 body, and also they want a Begins body that's not in a rubber suit, probably something more like the DX12, if that's even possible at all, just so it has better articulation. That's what I'd venture to guess...

Praying to the toy gods? Wtf are you coming up with? I'm not losing sleep over anything or hating on a line (which is funny in itself) as I was just saying what I'd like if they were to do another release like this.

Maybe you just take this a little too serious at the end of the day and I'll leave it at that.

Again, all about different tastes and opinions.

This release is from one of my favourite movies, I like it. It's the first official release of a Bruce Wayne in a suit figure (on HT level) and of Butler Alfred, who is one of the absolute main characters in all 3 movies, so imo something like this was long overdue.
From what I read it's even something that not only completists are getting but also collectors who didn't get any other HT TDK release before, either because this set is very iconic or because they didn't have the chance before to get a DX12 at retail prices.

I'm not usually a completist but I'm almost one when it's about this trilogy. As posted before a few times I understand other opinions from the particular perspective, I would appreciate some more variety in the figure releases as well, especially less Iron Man (though I also like Iron Man) but in the end I think they'll produce what they consider demanded.
As long as there are Nolan Batman fans and I don't see that ending, I'm sure they'll keep producing things for this line. I'm fine if it only happens from time to time, so that there's enough room for other things, but imo there were some things pointed out that would even be much more iconic for the TDK trilogy than what we've seen released yet.

This armory set is one of them and Trenchcoat Jim Gordon, Bat-Signal, DX Batman Begins Suit, Lucius Fox, John Blake, Ra's and other things would be cool as well. (In my opinion )

yup, 100% feel the same. Its my favorite movie Trilogy next to OT Star Wars. So I love collecting them. If others are done with them, thats fine, doesn't matter to me. But the demand is definitely there world wide. Pretty much all TDK Trilogy stuff sells out. I'm not sure if we will get more characters, and if the armory is the last thing, i will be perfectly happy. But if there is more, Ill be there, or really anything Batman that HTs does i will buy, except the Clooney & Kilmer films.

- never criticized this set, (I still have it on order) just the demand for more Batman dolls and the pursuit of "perfection"

- I specifically mentioned Ra's as something I'd like to see and buy. That's a must, not another damn Batman doll

- people with fanaticism towards this license annoy me. I've worked with children that have aspergers syndrome and some folks in this section are showing symptoms when it comes to all things Nolan Batman

- there's nothing iconic about Blake, the only Robin that matters has already been made by Hot Toys

 

[dw316]

^^^ Now this is a set that has been made really well!

 

[DiFabio]

Yeah, and will most likely be a one and done. I really appreciate those figures because I bet they were close to being scrapped like so many other planned figures (especially with all the superhero licenses from the last couple, and upcoming, years).

 

[dw316]

Yep, pretty much all they need. It's "perfect" as is. Owners only need to wait for the 66 Batmobile to go along with these two if anything else.

 

[Pixelpiper]

Anyway, I'm sure Affleck Batman will put an end to these Bale releases.

I still don't get the point. Is it just to stir the pot here in the thread? Logic alone doesn't make a compelling argument. I see a mix of facts and fiction but no point to be made. This is one of those Barbrady moments, "Move along, nothing to see."

Id buy a new begins batman, hopefully with a better alternative to the all rubber body

I've decided to sell all my 1/6 TDK figures. To be honest, all I need is the HT 1/4, the EB 1/4, and the 1/4 Ledger by EB. Sadly, that EB Joker costs a lot of money now.. But we'll see.

Going with quality over quantity now. Space is limited.

Yep had to do the same last year, I need a 1/4 HT's joker and im pretty much done, unless that do a 1/4 BB too, but they wont get much better than those

 

[franpincho]

I really doubt HT will ever beat EB's efforts on those two, but that EB Joker's price just seems very prohibitive for me. So, if HT releases one, I hope it's either better, or makes the secondary price on the EB drop drastically.

Now, who wants to buy a Batpod, a tumbler and a DX 12?? Lol.

You have to have a lot of space to display an entire collection of 1/4. Speaking for myself and my collecting habits, the quality of any 1/4 product simply doesn't factor as I don't collect that scale and never will. For premium products I collect exclusively 1/6 in whatever lines I'm interested in. I'm also not a Batman collector by any means. If I weren't a fan of the movies I wouldn't have a single Batman figure in my collection (excluding vintage toys). DX12 is the only Batman I have, but it will be replaced by the figure in this set as I'm not planning to keep two identical or even "very similar" figures.

 

[franpincho]

Well, if you take into account the size of the Tumbler, Batpod, two Batman figures, a Joker, a Selina and a Bane... Space runs out quicker that way vs three 1/4 excellent figures. I'm only going 1/4 with this line though.

Gotcha. Those 1/4 figures do look excellent - I'd love to see someone make an over-the top diorama with them too - now that's a dedication of space!

I tend to figure this all out top-down. Once I've figured out the space something will likely live in, that's it - I have to make it fit and limit myself to that space. For Batman it was one single custom shelf, so I had to skip the Batpod. This new armory will fit and I'm loving the Alfred figure, plus it has great value compared to other HT releases. But even here I'm making a compromise and won't have Batman dressed plus an empty suit - it's one or the other, so the current DX12 will have to go.

What are you talking about?

I made my point. After this armory release, there's plenty of Bale Batman figures to choose from. I only commented and stated what I did because the current discussion at hand was more Bale Batman. Because of that, I mentioned how I'm looking forward to the day that peeps move on from the same damn thing. Look at the discussions and bumped threads. "Which should I buy, OC or TF", "The Toy Fairs 2011 thread", "DX 12", "1/4 QS", this thread, the DX 02. That's not even taking into account the custom threads dedicated to this character. There's clearly enough here to keep even the newest collector acquainted with this hobby, occupied. Look at all the great options an information, there's already fun to be had.

Besides, seems to me that the people that want more tend to be folks that already have these releases (or have them on order) anyway. They're fixated on ONE thing and that's usually never healthy.

They appear to want bale batman because it is not perfect yet, also not easy to get for a reasonable price... seems fine to me

Well the price thing is tough ******* really. For whatever reason Nolan Batman stuff goes sky high once it sells out and that's that. As Difabio said there's always someone who missed out on the lower retail prices. Is HT gonna keep remaking this stuff indefinitely to cater to that fact? That's up to HT.

As for the desire for perfection - well I can't say anything there without being a hypocrite. I'm like that with the T-800s. Even the DX13 is short of what I'd ideally like in terms of accuracy and likeness.
