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

this part isn't in the movie[emoji35]

Or was it?

If and when HT releases TDKR armory, it NEEDS to come with a batman that will make the fans go ape****. Sure, you'd think the armory should be more than enough on its own...but if you take into consideration that there are no weapons attached to the armory, and there's a new batman (BvS) on he horizon, HT needs to go all out with, for all intents and purposes, their final release of bales batman.

in order to make TDKR armory, a bare bones glass box, a must have item, the batman that comes with it must be different enough to justify buying yet ANOTHER Bale batman.

My predictions: 1-What made DX02 a significant release, and a must have upgrade to the original MMS release, was the ability to move the eyes AND switch mouth plates. TDKR batman figure should be the figure to take it further by giving us the ability to finally switch out eye plates. It's already been a separate piece since the DX02, so I don't see why HT cant provide 3 different eye expressions; fierce, calm and determined, and smoldering squint. The basic design is there, all they need to do is tweak it, add a peg or two or hell, magnets..and boom, more posing options and a simple and effective way of pleasing EVERYONE. Next up, mouth plates that are all new sculpts and not rehashed from TDK armory.

I think the suit is pretty accurate as is...but if they can redesign the shoulder armor, well, that would rock and be even more of an incentive to buy the set.

Bearded Bruce in his fathers robe is a no brainier.

A triple set with Alfred?? Hmmm...I dunno. I can't imagine they would repeat that...

Which leads to this...his bat computer. So we have THE ultimate TDKR armory set. Batman with switchable eye plates, new mouth sculpts, bearded Bruce, and computer.

Prediction 2-HT don't give a $#!+ and will rehash the same batman from this current set, along with regular Bruce in black t shirt, shorts with the leg brace, Alfred, and then call it a day.

For the second Armory set they will include a slightly updated version of this- lets face facts here. Bale's performance is iconic and will not die off like Kilmer and Clooney's shots.

There is likely going to always be a demand for Ledger and Bale related releases... even if near complete re-releases (looking at you BR 2.0). A lot of people miss out the first time around. It is the repeated/completionist collectors that need the new bells and whistles.

Totally agree... but let's not forget the Begins Armory set, which must be coming sometime...

 

[HDGuy84]

I think first we need a new (ideally DX) OC Batman Begins release...

Sure, then they can do the Begins armoury set later...

Joking aside, one thing I'd love is a TDK Batman without a fat suit underneath. I know there's a way of customising him to remove it, but it's way above my skill or confidence level to do.

TDKR armory does have a few weapons and accesories, it just isn't as kitted out as TDK's.

It's not really an armory - even HT calls it a "Suit Case"

 

[Asta]

Did the Doozers from Fraggle Rock construct that thing for Bruce?

 

[DiFabio]

That suit case sucks. Throw some lights in there and it would look like something out of Batman and Robin.


Magneto's plastic prison cell also comes to mind.

Good call. TDK armory is so armed to the teeth it made TDKR armory seem bare bones.

Same!! Can't wait!!

 

[DiFabio]

Is that for the three pack?

 

[dw316]

Yes. Nothing yet for the single armory.

 

[Arctic Beast]

Same!! Can't wait!!

Whole crap man, 45 figures in a year is like $10 grand.

 

[dw316]

Yeah, haha. I have close to 40 over a 3-year span and that number will be closer to 50 by the end of this year. This is one expensive hobby. Sad thing is there's nothing I really want to sell to make room. Might have to sell one of my DX13 bodies+clothes but that would make my T-1000 statue that came w/ the set obsolete and I always like to have the original parts on hand in case I want to change things up.

I entered this hobby about 3 years ago and i have 50 figures so far. I think i may need medical help because i may have an addiction.

Kinda glad I PO'd this through AE. Need a bit of time with all of these releases. Robocop and Spidey aren't that far behind.

Wow that's crazy. You must have an amazing collection. This armoury with Batman will be my first Hot toys item. Pretty excited to have it arrive.
