Help Support Collector Freaks Forum:
It's called collector FREAKS isn't it?
Have to say, I never liked Dave's choice of naming the new forum
. "Sideshow Freaks" denoted the forum's affiliation with SSC, but it was also a clever reference to the "freak shows" or "sideshow acts" of the past. The name was also an on-the-nose joke about this hobby in particular, that would render collectors as social outcasts, just as the "human freaks". That also serves as a humbling correlation, that we should perhaps be more mindful of each other on the board considering the general stigma associated with collecting."Collector Freaks" just never had the same ring to it. Pretty boring, if you ask me.

Anyone know if this is the stock cape?
Mines on the way from kit. I know the texture isn’t super accurate but I don’t own the dx09 so I’ll be happy with mine to go with my dx08.

Have you seen the headsculpt for the seated Batman? That thing is complete trash.

That's the stock one.
All of them don’t resemble Keaton. I made it clear about my feelings towards the likeness on that the day I saw it. This new 2.0 HT is not worth the little bit of juice I’d get out of it.
I can’t get past the textured suit no matter how hard I try. Battle damage isn’t incorporated throughout and it wouldn’t even show up competing with that texture.
The neutral faceplate is a dud, eyes aren’t squinted enough, they’re wide open. They were much closer with the prototype eyes and faceplate.
Joost will make the suit accurate to the film and that alone is worth the purchase. There’s a reason the entire seated figure is sculpted therefore not accurate. I don’t have any blind faith that he’ll nail Keaton, but nail the suit? He’s got that.

texture on the outfit ruined it for me .

Oh for sure, I never buy figures with the aim to sell them - I just want the diorama enough that I am willing to buy the whole set.
Ideally HT would sell the dioramas separately.
Officially cancelled mine, I ain't supporting this. From solid proto to massive down grade. It's a shame it's now too late for them to fix it.
I love when collectors use their wallet.
I had mine cancelled as well, then I heard Joost will make the suit properly next year if we all support it. I wanted to leave it cancelled because I’m furious at the total lack of effort on display with this release, on the other hand, I’ll likely need this for parts to upgrade whatever JazzInc doesn’t.
I need an ultimate Keaton by the end of all of this, so I very reluctantly had SS reinstate it. Had it not already been fully paid off, don’t think I’d pay it after seeing it.
For those who have (or had) the DX-09 I can understand your disappointment & decision to cancel this as the suit texture is a real misfire. That said, as I (a) don't have a Keaton Batman, (b) want to display this with my Jazzinc 89 Batmobile and (c) got the deluxe for $320 shipped, I'll likely keep my order.
I would get this if I didn't have the DX09. I was thinking about picking it up before release, just didn't want to PO.
Hell, I still have my Sovereign Batman from 2004, somewhere.

If they give us a 2.0 version of the Batman Returns suit before this ships then I'll reconsider canceling. That would also go with the Jazzinc Batmobile as well as their Catwoman and my Eternal Toys Penguin.
Every time I see the new armory figures on display, they look like they've been dipped in grease..
The DX02 probably was.
