The head looks like complete ****. It's actually more funny looking than the DX02 and I did not think that was possible. Again, the ****ing eyes are huge and the paint on the mouths look kinda shiny. Costume looks great. Looks fun to pose. I think Im going to go to the driving range with the head sculpt.

Dont buy it and GTFO

WOW! This looks so terrible. Not even close in quality when compared to the prototype.

For real?

To a new Bats that is leak free as of today that can be posed a number of different ways... He looks cool too at least to me... IMO... He and the new Joker will both find there way into my collection and they will only make it look better then before!!!

I've never seen a larger group of whiners in my life. Seriously. Production is NEVER as good as prototype in the paint department. Yes, sometimes they will fix a sculpt (Superman). You don't like, say it once, then STFU and don't buy.

The sculpts are fine, its the new sh** factories they seem to have switched too. The paint looks awful.

Re: HOT TOYS : MMS DX 12 - The Dark Knight Rises - BATMAN / BRUCE WAYNE Full Specs &

Yeah, that's gone beyond reason now...
I can understand their frustration to some extent, but there are other companies that produce 1/6 scale Batman figures, they could just skip this...

Comparisons to the DX-02 are just... strange. That thing looks like a test-run compared to this. Just like the DX-whateverfuturerelease will make the DX-12 look like a test run. Show the comparison shots outside the forum and most people will think so. They keep getting better and better, and more expensive.

Yes it's expensive.
Yes it's not perfect.
But holy crap Batman, hundreds of pages of loathing on something you wont buy? I don't get this trend, same thing happens with video games, why waste all that time and effort complaining about something you won't buy? It obviously doesn't change the production quality. Just say it once and move on to the thing you want to buy.

I agree 100%... I think most people are trying to convince them selves to not buy it (if you keep telling your self its awful then you actually start to believe it). Its obviously an upgrade compared to DX02, but pretty expensive. If you don't have DX02 BUY DX12 NEEOOWW!! If you have DX02 and you need to watch your pocket book then what ever, no one is going to care, but dont come in here and pretend like this the most horrible abomination ever conceived by Hot Toys.

I will be moving my DX02 over to the interrogation room with my Joker 2.0 when it comes in, and will have this guy standing center stage along with my 89 bats.

STFU and don't buy.

How original! Thanks for sharing that nugget of sage advice.

As for the paint apps, HT usually does a damn good job of matching proto to production in my experience. There has definitely been an apparent shift toward "softer," less detailed paint and sculpts recently. Don't know if it is intentional or not, but it is a bit divergent from the prototypes anyway.

Agreed. Can't wait to get this, hopefully the second shipment isn't too far off.

This will be my first batman and I'm pretty satisfied with the final product. For those who like the figure don't let anyone else tell you that its horrible and you should cancel your po. Nothing can be perfect and this is a good example, either be satisfied with it or save the cash because at the end of it all, its your money and your figure.

I think most people are trying to convince them selves to not buy it (if you keep telling your self its awful then you actually start to believe it).

You know, I kind of get that vibe in the DX10 thread. If someone sinks so much money into a previous version with mods or upgrades, or simply buying it at an aftermarket price then HT releases a new version, one can't help but expect opinions to be tainted by bitterness over it.

Magnetic head/neck again. Possibly able to use the dx02 head as well on the fig if preferred. Maybe even the sonar head on the ball joint? Could be the best of both figures.

I actually do not get that vibe, though I wouldn't blame folks with $2,000 customs if they did feel that way.

I'm kinda diggin' it and glad it's shipping so soon.

Re: HOT TOYS : MMS DX 12 - The Dark Knight Rises - BATMAN / BRUCE WAYNE Full Specs &

I admit, I'm coming into this after not looking at it for a while, so I'd be curious to see the photos that exhibit the eyes being too big. I looked closely at OMG's shots, and some of them do make the eyes look large, but almost all of his photos had the eyes looking way to the side (due to a cross-eyed defect with his), with lots of whites showing. The cowl eye sockets tend to exacerbate the size of the eyes in a lot of the closeups he took, by casting shadows on the top edge of the eyes, thus covering any definition. Combine that with a lot of whites, and I'm not sure by the photos that we can clearly conclude the eyes are messed up.

I'll admit they're bad if we see more photos/in hand shots showing it. But, I think OMG's shots might be a bit deceptive this time because he was trying to hide a defect for his shoot.

Edit: Plastic Enemies shots show eyes that are too wide/open looking. I guess we'll know more in person. I know these things are so much smaller in person, it may not be so in your face as that shot with him looking down at you.

Nail meet head...

It has nothing to do with me trying to be original and/or clever. It's the incessant whining here that is totally unnecessary and over the top. I don't get the overwhelming negativity in here. I just think people need to speak more with the wallet and less with the mouth. That's probably the only communication that will make a difference with HT.

I DO completely agree with you on the newer material and softer sculpts. I think they picked a new material that is cheaper to produce and results in (almost but falls short of) the same level of quality as before.

That being said, OMG's pics still sell it for me. They really do. Macro shots can also bring out overdetail IMO.

PERS can really muck up a sculpt, and unless this bathead is in extreme sideways or downward glances, I think it looks really good. Certainly a step up from the DX02 IMO. Who knows, maybe the cowl can be squished a bit so it's not so wide.

That 'neutral' face looks like a smile after all

No two ways about it

Yuuuuuup.

Only one I like is the 'mean face'.
