The instructions show.

Where are the boots "supposed" to go in the Armory?

On either side of the legs, standing upright on the grating.

Beautiful pictures JSchack15, love the Bat figure.

I've bought the Alfred sculpt and overcoat for cheap and managed to kitbash my Alfred figure. I'm blown away by the likeness of Caine and the quality of the overcoat. It sure gives this set a nice touch and i'm glad i've bought the Caine sculpt.

That Bale sculpt looks amazing and i love your display.

 

[Johnny Utah]

I wish that sculpt came with the set.

Anyone know if there's a way to get the armory grapnel holster on this Begins belt w/ the cell phone on it? Is there a way to remove that batarang holder piece?

[dw316]

Damn, and I wanted to keep the cell phone on that belt. Oh wells, heh.

 

[dw316]

Okay, just put it in without futzing yet. I am the master. Not perfect, probably doesn't drape as well as the custom capes do, but hey, those reviewers ought to do a better job when they're showing off such an awesome figure...

I like the fabric, it's like the QS001 fabric.

 

[dominishin]

If it's better than DX12 cape, then I can work with it just fine.

 

[dw316]

It's thicker and more "velvety" than the DX12. It's basically 1/6 version of the QS001 cape.

I wish I could remove that batarang compartment so I could put the grapnel holster in that spot on the MMS67 belt...

 

[dominishin]

Is it still the double layered capes? I don't know why HT keeps doing that. Their zod cape is a thin single layer and lays very nicely.

Both the DX12 and Armory capes are single layer, but different materials.

 

[dominishin]

Ah yeah you're right, I actually didnt notice because of the shoulder area.

Finally opened my Armory. The box is gorgeous, but one of the corners got smooshed. Thanks Hot Toys/Sideshow! The cardboard, as has already been stated, is also on the flimsy side.

This is my first Batman figure and it looks fantastic. The fabric suit and the segmented armor are beautiful. This is the first time PERS has worked for me on a figure and I gotta ask, What's the big deal? Hard to see unless you're up close and it's just one more thing that can go wrong.

The Armory itself is a very nice looking display piece - the weathering is well-done and the light-up function kicks ass. But the doors on either side and the swing-away shelves feel a little flimsy for the price. It seems like only a matter of time before the doors in front crack from the strain.

Overall, I'd recommend it, especially if you're just beginning to build your Dark Knight collection, as I am. 87/100.

Totally agree with you about the pers, I just find it unnecessary. The set is awesome though, which version of the set did you end up getting?

I love PERS, for a number of dumb reasons. First, I like the fact that I know the figure's eyes are moveable, even if I'm usually too scared to move them. Second, they remind me of my old 'eagle eyes' Action Man! And third, and most important, I think he glass eyes or whatever they use look more realistic than conventionally painted eyes.

I know PERS doesn't work for every character - it's particularly good for masked characters, characters whose faces are covered or painted in some way or characters with stylised features like Jack Sparrow - but when it does work it works great. That said, I wouldn't mind if HT went the enterbay route of doing different kinds of eyes that can be put in and out.

I just got the Armory with the Batman figure. It's already big enough, I can only imagine the full three-figure set. Dayum.

While PERS will come in handy if I ever decide to pose Batman with his head down and eyes up - something reminiscent of a Kubrickian whackjob look - it might be more trouble than it's worth.

First, you have to slip that little tool up inside that head and latch it onto the little knob. Then you have to manipulate and finagle it just so...it's not very intuitive or user-friendly. It's like trying to pick up dry pasta with a pair of drumsticks.

Second, it's probably only a matter of time and one bad slip-up before it breaks. Just a little too much energy going in the wrong direction and your figure - and day - are ruined.

I was as careful as I could be and that still wasn't enough to calm my nerves. I've read far too many horror stories on this board not to have that fear in the back of my mind.

Kato suit ?

See post #6729. he already answered that.

 

[Thrustmaster]

Thank you very much man, much appreciated

I wish that sculpt came with the set.

i never was a fan of the ht attempt. it does have some similarities to bale, but still not that much.
nevertheless, some people also saying that this sculpt i'm using looks like bush jr. which i just can't understand. so each to its own i would say

Kato suit ?

shirt and tie is from master kato, jacket and pants from enterbay. i wish i would have also the jacket and pants from kato

Just saw this up on Onesixthkit:

Custom 1/6 Scale Jet Backpack Accessory For Hot Toys Batman Action Figure

Might grab it as this will be my only Bale Batman figure and it doesn't come with this piece right?.
