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

[Gipetto0812]

Glad I let mine go , would have been buyers remorse and the cool diorama isn't worth the price alone !

Agreed. I've already had buyer's remorse recently with DX28 Vader and AOTC Padme. Both of which took a couple weeks to sell so don't want to take a loss on this after paying full price. Rather just eat the NRD.

I’m doing the same,
I believe it’s a great alternative route to take.

I agree. Plus I have 89 Batman represented in 1:1 and Lego form

Love that cowl man, get some LEDs on it for night.

I’m starting to not mind everything
that releases not being a 10/10.

With the pace of it all, I’m finding myself to quite
enjoy canceling things and reallocating those funds elsewhere on more deserving product.

Also, the less is more approach
is all the more appealing now than it ever was.

The moment the Returns 2.0 was announced,
my desire to fix the problematic one dwindled significantly. I want my collection to be so good that companies really have to wow to replace anything. The only way to do that, is to say no, to a lot.

Sure I could’ve kept my order on the off chance
I’d make an extra $200 or whatever, but honestly,
the prospect of them holding it and just handing back my dues minus $40 is good enough for me. I don’t want to ever deal with an eBay customer ever.

I RARELY cancel, but I had to with this because I couldn't stand the texture.

I wouldn't want to display this abomination if I got it for free.

Got my invoice from Alter Ego

How long was the wait from when Sideshow started shipping?

I ask because I'm considering an order their but my impatience must be dealt with.

I sold ‘89 2.0 Batman so fast (surprised how many people want this), but I’ll never sell a Hot Toys figure ever again. I can sell 1:12 scale figures more easily and still get most of my money back, but selling a 1:6 scale figure is a whole different ballgame, for some reason. Probably due to size, weight, and higher price? but still, eBay fees are absolutely ridiculous. I learned I would’ve been better off eating my NRD. Lesson learned.

If I preorder HT 2.0 Batman Returns, I have to expect to NEVER, EVER sell it.

Got mine yesterday and I don't mind the issues but can see why some would. I still think it looks great and the arms can bend and stay in position. Be easy on me!

 

[Mr. Awesome]

Me (of all ppl) over here enjoying my 2.0...

I would’ve thought someone would’ve found
a way to rig the new cowl to the DX09 suit by now.

Seems the obvious choice, yeah

Someone said if you put something behind the faceplates to make them stick out a bit further forward, it improves the likeness. Can anyone confirm?

It's hard to find someone that have both. People that own DX09 don't have a reason to buy/keep 2.0 and the ones that owns the 2.0 probably never own DX09...plus create one from both makes no sense, too expensive for a mid result...and you will have a lot of fodder lol

I posted this in a couple of the FaceBook groups. I was looking at the mouthplate on it's own and thought it looked great, I couldn't figure out why it didn't look good in the cowl. I folded up some of the tissue paper that comes under the belt and placed it behind the bottom part of the mouthplate so that the chin sticks out a little farther while the top of the mouthplate sits farther back. Now I think it looks spot on.

 

[fantomascr]

Looks better for sure.
