It's worse getting hooked on that than drugs.

It certainly DOESN'T keep things in perspective that's for sure!

But it sure is fun

Have you ever tried to sell the joint you almost finished and have enjoyed for almost the same $$ that you paid for and possibly made money on it ?

Yes my name is Geil and I am an addict.

Very true. Very scary as well! That's the best thing with regards to his hobby. You can always buy, admire and then sell to buy the new, then admire, then sell to buy the new... and so on. I think the days of actually "making" money are pretty much over but u certainly won't lose much either.

With regards to your analogy of a joint... I think we all would be pretty happy if we could smoke it down to the core then turn around and trade it in for a brand spanking new one!

And that is what makes this "addiction" the best
I think I could reach a level of the hobby being self sufficient now that I have reached critical mass but letting go of some of the more valuable (and my precious) pieces turns out pretty tough and I agree the new stuff is likely to go up only very lil in value. (Except for the many many scalpers who raise prices before things even sell out !!! )
Sorry I only join in the discussion when it's more light hearted and fun and positive

As the song said " letting go is hard to do".

Lots of candy for you!

My friend waynesbutler on youtube sent me a pic of his figure and he put one of lforgino's cape on it. IMO it looks great.

Much better.

here's a few shots i just took tonight.

The matte armor is extremely easy to scratch !!! anyone here know how to remove the scratches?

With the exception of the cape clip installation, these pics are epic. Best ones yet. Well done sir.

Real damn shame I had to cancel the first Batman figure that isn't a rubber statue.

He looks so cool with his arms up either holding his weapons or fists ready for battle.

Weird actually seeing him with his arms up, so used to rubber man.

Why did you cancel man. I has a sad.

I finally got mine! will post pictures tomorrow.

people of this thread, be ready, Agen's pics are amazing.

Here are some of his DX02 ones...hope you don't mind agen.

Same suit, it's just been digitally altered to match up better with the "RISE" background image.

Like this:

.. The same Kato suit, just photoshoped.

No offence, but I think you need to go look up what "objectively" means.

He was talking about the mouth plates on the cowl. Not about the headsculpt which is awesome.

Yeah, I agree with karamazov. The eye's really show the Bale likeness, although the wrinkles under his eye's make him look a little old.
There is something about the nose and the mouth though. I just can't put my finger on it.
The hairline looks great, but there doesn't seem to be enough of it. It's more TDK hair than TDKR hair.
But yes, this is the best Bale sculpt seen by HT, but the imaresqd1 sculpt still tops this I think.

The problem is the eyes/eyebrows are too low compared to the proto, and that makes the whole face to look a bit shrunken on the vertical line. (red lines shows whats wrong)

Agen's actually one of the reasons I started collecting Hot Toys. I stumbled upon his photostream on Flickr over 3 years ago and the rest is history.

You realize the images are at different angles?

It's the same sculpt.

It's the same sculpt.

You realize that this head sculpt doesn't have neck movement right (on the vertical line)? i.e. the eye cant go higher or lower by only moving the head to the right or the left

Besides check the yellow lines.. those are good.

I think the biggest problem that HT keeps having with Bale sculpts is that they always make them to wide. Bale's front profile is very narrow.
