[BoricuaHec01]

Just saw Hot Toys post, can’t wait!!

I really, really hope the suit was somehow improved. I never owned a DX09 so regardless I’m excited.

I’m tempering my expectations, but I’d love if that was the case.

Can someone post a pic of the 89 Batman, close up?

 

[BoricuaHec01]

Is it just me or the quality of the photo, but his face plate is looking more like the stunt double than Keaton. Hopefully I’m mistaken.

And from the looks of it, they’re starting the list from the bottom as Kamen Rider was just announced with blogger photos, so Keaton next! Trust!!

Do they typically go in order like that? I really hope that’s the case.

Some company’s do and funny cause I was hoping they would release in that order and sure enough, they are. Hopefully I’m not jumping the gun due to excitement so we’ll just see during the next few days.

So could still take a while to actually release? Thought the blogger pics were up when I saw the update but no such luck.

This might be one of the last Hot Toys I buy. After the modern suit all my other pre-orders are InArt and Mars Toys.

Looks exactly like the DX09 suit to me, from what we can make out of that photo. On the bright side, the DX09 suit has held up remarkably well in terms of material; mine's the same as it was when I got it twelve years ago and I've never seen a report of tearing, flaking, cracking etc.

Yea it’ll still be awhile. After blogger photos, expect another month after that to be at your actual door step.

Same for me. Suit still looks great. The body isn’t tight enough to hold any decent poses though.

How can anyone tell anything from that photo?

Regardless, even if they didn’t change a thing this would still be a great release, as the OG was amazing.

HT has 0 incentive to improve this. It will be the same thing. I just hope the pers system was updated though. That huge ass gap behind the head was not pretty. But even then, great figure.

Yep, he needed ratcheted joints. Mine can't do the poses he could do when he was new, either.

This.

I absolutely ADORE this move towards ratcheted joints. Especially with the material some of the these (quite expensive) "articulated" figures suits use that can render moving a limb to a certain angle, pointless.

Edit

For example, his arm is only being held in the 45 degree position because of the trident...

I'm beyond excited for Batman, Anakin and ROTJ Vader but kinda bummed there's still no sign of Obi-Wan from the Kenobi series.

The final boss is looking great there. Wish someone would do official 1/6 wrestling figs. An untapped market that for whatever reason no one seems to realize it.
