Hot Toys MMS 692 + 693 BATMAN (1989) 1/6 scale Batman 2.0

[Scout Trooper]

Imagine thinking this figure's worth the money, and Unreal's sculpt isn't..

 

[Mr. Awesome]

Who in their right mind would buy a $300 2.0 just to turn around and spend another $300 on a inferior sculpt to "fix it"?

 

[Dave_W]

$300 for a full figure or just the head? Yeah, I'm not spending double the money, to still end up with that lumpy suit.

quality > quantity. i dont need hot toys 70% of the time when good custom work exists out there to fill my collection

What everyone thinks Michael Keaton looks like.

Yes people have the deluxe listed for twice its MSRP, but isn’t that typically the case for new product? Are we to believe they all genuinely sell at that rate? I’d never put up $600 for this, I withdrew $350 from it.

hardcore fomo, itll go down. some exclusives and even recent releases. it always is really high upon release and fizzles out when no one is talking about that figure in 3 months when the new shiny new toy comes out

 

[Mr. Awesome]

I've seen more than a few people openly say they're buying the Deluxe for the base alone. No interest in the figure at all.

…So are you buying this since nobody’s making full custom Keaton Batmen?

Shocking...

You do love your customs. Even to a fault at times.

You’d think the base would be wide enough to comfortably place the figure and cape on without being overtly close to the walls or nameplate. This lack of space makes the overall presentation feel cheap. That’s the issue with dios, they’re never accurately to scale, yet still massive space absorbers.

i have unreal's head that i plan to put on my modded dx09 with his single layer wire cape,

then will look further when jazzinc does theirs, whenever that is and cull the set and retire what I don't need

Shocking...

It's true. He looks cramped on it.

I do? Huh.

I'm sorry, bud. I don't mean to come off that way.

 

[Mr. Awesome]

I think I could probably live without the Returns 2.0 base too. It's really just a matter of space, really. And while it's scene accurate, it reminds me of something from LOTR...

 

[Scout Trooper]

My point is, it's a considerably flawed figure, and quite an expensive one.

You're entitled to your own opinion, and it's fair not to like Unreal's sculpt either. But why take a swing at the guy? And why justify the purchase of one, and point your finger at the other?

 

[Mr. Awesome]

I mean, nobody is attacking you for liking the Unreal sculpt. But I'm well within my rights to say it's trash. At any price point.

Opinions.. It's not the end of the world.

Edit: and taking a swipe at him? Should I have put an "lol" after that comment? The post to him was made because I know he's a devout lover of customs. Via CF and the HT sub reddit. It wasn't some stab at him but more of a "ah, that's your thing, I know"

You can find something to feel offended by all you'd like. That's fine. I still meant no harm with the comment.

Very much agree. I have the same problem a lot of the time with claustrophobic, and overly crowded dioramas.

I think this one in particular only works from the other side.

I agree; I also don't think the paint (and occasionally the resolution) on diorama bases comes close to the figures, so the vast majority of them look cheap to me relative to the actual figures.

 

[Mr. Awesome]

How are the InArt bases, quality wise? A step above or on par with HT?

 

[xXJ0kerXx1]

not reliable
