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

[spindrift]

GREAT pic- boy I think it looks much improved over DX12....

 

[Captain Britain]

Am I the only person who is finding the cape hard to attach? Today I not only left marks and scratches in the plastic around the hole but found myself exerting so much force that I thought I would break something... and in the end I gave up, worrying that I really would break it. Is there a trick I don't know? It's ****ing impossible. Any help would be much appreciated.

EDIT: I did actually break something - my hand was on the belt and I must have squeezed it too hard because it came apart right near the buckle (and not where it should).

 

[YankeesFanboy]

And thanks for leaving me some of your money. Natch.

 

[YankeesFanboy]

Is the cowl the only thing different as far as corrections go to the figure? This still has the DX12 body right with thunder thighs and all?

Yeah, this seems to be the same body as the DX12's.

Sorry to hear that, man. I never owned the DX12, but attaching the cape was a bugbear for some collectors. If I'm not mistaken, there are tabs or clips at the top of the cape that slip into the slots at the shoulders. On the other hand, some custom capes don't have these tabs and you just slip the material into the slots.

 

[Flintty]

LMAO so so good

 

[BadMuthaDude]

Awesome Alfred with the umbrella, Rory.

 

[Pennyworth]

Beautiful shots as always Rory.

Umbrellas in 1:6 are really impressive. Should of been included with Alfred in this set

Thanks mate. The clips are just impossible to get into the slots. I'm seriously thinking of removing them and instead attaching a chain across the two parts where the clips are - when I drape it over his shoulders it looks pretty good that way.

 

[DiFabio]

Fantastic.

 

[BatBrain]

I tried to give you rep for those pics Rory but apparently I've got to spread it around more.

This happened to me with my DX 02, years back.

You're putting the clips in wrong. I can't really illustrate it, but you have to put those tabs in vertically and then slip them into the slots they're tucked in under the plastic. Once you get it and it's flush with the cape/armor, you're gold. You'll never have a problem again.

Maglor might have a video on it. This is one of those things where a demonstration helps.

Speaking of which, I just recieved all my armory gadgets in the mail.

I thought for sure I was scammed. The "box" wasn't even an inch thick, it was just a bunch of cardboard pieces,







I mean look at that! I thought for sure I had been ****ed. Low and behold, I cut the tape after a minute of thinking, "what the **** is this", and viola,





Pretty ingenious.

They really do get creative with packaging in HK. But everything I've gotten to this point has been perfect!

Lookin' good, brother, what do you think of the gadgets?

 

[BadMuthaDude]

Your actual name is DiFabio? I thought it was a play on 'Fabio', due to having luscious, flowing hair or something.

 

[DiFabio]

And the fact that I do butter commercials.

 

[YankeesFanboy]

I can't believe it's not...dude probably spoke pitch-perfect English, but tried to play up his foreign, exotic appeal.

 

[Hydeous]

Nice. Though I expect more from you, Rory. Like Alfred isn't holding his umbrella properly.

And btw it's "you are dead", not your.

If that's how it'll look in hand, I'm pretty pleased.

Damn

Had no idea that's your real surname

Reminds me of dracula's butler for some reason.

Btw, might be a good idea to edit and hour out the add and phone no portion.

 

[DiFabio]

I don't care about that addy or phone number. I don't ship this stuff to my home.
