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

I don't think those prices include shipping.

Thanks surprised there's so little difference between the standard and deluxe price, though postage might bump the deluxe one up.

Yes the new logo is more accurate in shape, size, has the correct satin / gloss finish, the logo font has been corrected as well.

Last I checked, ToysBuyingAgent was charging a whopping $175 for shipping on the deluxe to the US. So yeah, take that into consideration!

The bloody mouth is the best mouth.

 

[Rondesmo]

Exactly, the bloody BD faceplate is the most keatonesque.

Yeah I got chills when it came into focus in that video, that has to be the best faceplate we’ve ever gotten out of HT.

DX09 logo size is more accurate.

DX09 logo size is more accurate.

Not related to the figure but all the promotional Batman 89 photos I've seen, Batman looks goofy as hell. The lighting of the movie being all moody and dark and then these bright promotional photos make him look silly lmao

This one is my favourite. He looks cross eyed almost lol.

Are you sure about that?

I'll say one thing: being a jaded, semi-retired collector -- this thread is bringing back memories of the old days and making me feel young!

PLEASE somebody break out the red lines and arrows!

Yeah he looks awkward when his exposed face are fully directly lit with no shadow play. Is this why Burton didn't like this suit?

Timcent. He had the deluxe up for 100 hkd cheaper than the regular but the catch was:
postage for the deluxe was £126 compared with £27 for the regular.
Said the reason was the box was as big as the qs001.
Even if it was that’s a stealth charge

All those photos (except maybe the 1st) are low angle making the emblem more oval.

Need some photos of the bat-emblem straight on to really judge, but looks like Matrix has already down those.

DX09 logo size is more accurate.

Here's a good straight on shot from vspectra above...

I honestly think the people that are bad mouthing this 2.0 are the ones that already have the DX09 and are mad it’s now devalued due to the rerelease OR the people that are salty for paying resell before the 2.0 was announced.

Yeah, when I said **** it and ordered the regular off TBA (en route as we speak) I tried the deluxe first and shipping was insane-o.

In my entire history of 1/6 I've never displayed a diorama base so I figured no need to shell out that much for something I'll never display. It's a good looking base but ... nah.

I think it’s a due to the angle where Batman is shot. From face the emblem looks rounder, from low it seems more oval.

They don’t know what they’re talking about, the DX09 is too circular while the new one has that round oval shape that’s correct.

Yes. See 4 post above yours.

While I wouldn't discount that there's an element of that for some people, for the most part I'd chalk it up to the 2.0 having some flaws and lacking in improvements that could have been made.

I used to own the DX09 and while it's fantastic, if I had to choose between these two now, I'd accept the flaws and go with the 2.0 for updated paint and no giant trapdoor on the back of the head or fragile, unusable PERS mechanism.

It's not what it should have been, but barring a major letdown in-hand, I'm fine with it.

Exactly! It’s in plain sight, oval (correct) vs circular.
