Thanks, bud!

You have a break in your shooting schedule?

 

[dw316]

No problem.

Yeah, just finished a rough straight 6 days shoot, each one went 14+ hours. Taking some time to recharge, clean up, set up BESTAs shelves, open some figures, etc.

 

[YankeesFanboy]

Sounds good, sounds good. Was it BvS?

 

[dw316]

Aren't the belts that come with this set a bit fragile? Does it make any sense to buy a DX12 belt and if so, which one is best? A bare-bones one or a fully-loaded one? One is magnetic and one isn't?

They go for close to $40 on eBay so if I can save some money and skip out on the purchase, that'd be good too.

The barebones one is magnetic, yes, for the sticky bomb gun HK extraction scene. I plan on using my DX12 belts after hearing about the fragility. Looking at the two, it's because the armory belt "links" are all separate and held together very loosely whereas the DX12 belts are pretty solid. I hope it has room to fit the grapnel gun holster on the loaded one.

Thank you, brother! You plan on using the bare belt or the fully-loaded one with your Armory fig?

No, I've finished that for the time being. I think we're being called back later for some studio work in LA but we finished our Detroit scenes a few weeks ago. I've been working on some NY projects.

Probably the full-loaded one. I have to see what my setups will be, I have too many Batman figures (2x DX12, 2x armory, TF, DX02, MMS67) I've been moving belts around here and there to get the best looks. As long as I can get a grapnel gun + holster on a Begins suit belt for the opening TDK garage scene look, then I'll be satisfied.

 

[YankeesFanboy]

Thanks, man. I guess fully-loaded is the way to go!

How was the Ted 2 shooting? You didn't see Wahlberg or MacFarlane, did you?

 

[dw316]

I did, Amanda was on set too, even Ted himself...

 

[YankeesFanboy]

How'd she look, huh? Wink, wink, nudge, nudge.

 

[dominishin]

Hah, you have nearly the same Bats collection as me. 2x DX12, Armory, TF, DX02, MMS67, Demon Bats.

Will replace second DX12 with another armory or TDKR armory if they do it.

 

[dw316]

I forgot about Demon Bats, haha. I don't have him displayed though, was thinking of selling him if I can, but I heard it is very difficult.

She looks great, the bug-eyes myth is true, she has huge eyes

There was a few pages back debating if the cowl is much better and the answer is an emphatic YES. Obviously the new face plates especially the neutral is a epic improvement but that being said the true improvement is the cowl itself. The texture in rhe mask looks better the overall shape but mostly the eyes are all new for PeRs they look great way smaller overall and it totally fixes the problem that all those guys spent hours fixing a couple years ago by painting the eyelids or sculpting the eyes squinty or whatever.

The Alfred head is also amazing. But the Pop toys suit is better.

The rest of the set in my opinion is not so great but good if you don't have any of that stuff or don't mind a huge clunky bat closet cluttering up your life!

 

[quan]

Not sure if anyone already tried this but will the grapnel gun holster from the Armory set can be attached to any of the Dx12 belt?

All the better to see you with!

Would.

We should put up a poll.

Would you rather:
Buy a 2k (or $600, just as moronic) "Kato" suit

Blow $600 on a prostitute while in Vegas.

YFB, make it happen hermano.

Sign me up for the suit because $600 on a hooker is pretty moronic if you ask me. Coke and bitches is a good time without a doubt, but the suit will last a hell of a lot longer.... and have resale value. So which is moronic is pretty subjective. And you won't get a 1:1 Armani for $600

Haha I think I'd prefer the suit

Opens thread first post it see's is about coke, bitches, and toy suits.

*quietly starts to back out of thread but suddenly has the urge to say something*

Coke and bitches only serve to lead one to moar coke and bitches and finally rehab, mental ruin, family ruin, empty pockets, and possibly death. It is no contest, toys over coke and bitches every damn day of the week. In fact, for some..toys have served to lead one out of that particular lifestyle into a much more happy and healthy one.

That is all.

 

[dominishin]

I'm going to assume they're joking.

Or a 14 year old who watched too much Scarface.

Moderation is the key to everything, be it drinking, drugging, chasing skirts or Kato outfits.
