A well-modded MedIX head (stuffed and with a great repaint) is the best IMO. But hey, maybe a well modded DX12 head can look even better. Stock though, all of them have flaws.

I gotta admit the Medicom was a bit unimpressive fresh out of the box. At least after having a string of Hot Toys. Some are worse than others it seems. The head on mine was super squished. But Zach has a stock Medi and his looks cool.

The medicom cowl in that picture isn't the best. It can look waaaaay better than that.

It'd take considerably more work. The medicom head out of the box has a basic paint job and needs widening, but the sculpt is almost spot on in terms of achieving the lines and contours of the face and brows, something the DX cowl will never achieve without extensive resculpting. And that's what a lot of people don't understand. "Oh, the DX12's head is the right width!" Who cares when the details are off and can't be immediately fixed?

The DX12 neck though is infinitely better than anything that's come before it, modded or not.

Yea, ive stared at the photo now for ten minutes and I fail to see a difference other than the dx02's pencil neck......

I don't think any amount of modding with fix the dx12 head shape short of a resculpt - the back of the head is simply sculpted too flat

Idk, if you're one of those collectors that doesn't mod anything and keeps your figure stock, DX12 is your thing. The suit alone puts it above just about every 1/6 TDK suit batman released so far. If you compare all 1/6 TDK suit batman figures straight out of the box I think it's a no contest really. Would any of you guys really buy the Medi over the DX12 if you were just keeping either one stock just for a Headsculpt? If so that's just loco to me man.

And even with all the modding in the world I still have issues with the Medi head. I personally don't think it's perfect even though its been said time and again that it was made from a scan of the cowl. It's just like people who don't see the Ledger likeness in the DCD 13" Joker even though that was from a scan of the man himself
Also, while I like the mouth on the Medi, I feel the DX02 neutral mouth like more like Bale. Medi is good, but it's not as good as ppl make it out to be IMO.

Part of me wants to see what it'd be like to cast the Medi sculpt, but insert PERS/make it compatible with interchangeable faces/make the Bale part into a separate faceplate; experiment.

That would be an interesting experiment for sure.

Yup....***hole as usual.

"Hawt tois can du no rong!"

Why? I said "make a cast", so it's not like the actual sculpt would be damaged. Now, if only I knew how to make a cast...

Fiendy doesn't likely the PERS

So can the other 2

DX12 body is better than any other TDK suit out there, even modded ones, no contest.

The only thing DX12 is lacking in compared to others is the bat cowl.

And the gauntlets
And the boots
And the crooked logo

Still buying it though

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

Gauntlets, boots, and logo is still more accurate than everything out there.

Rubbish. Look at how the elbow pokes out on the gauntlets! looks crap. The blades look good, but the gauntlets are too big. Medi ones look better.
Boots aren't bad but they should not be a two piece for accuracy's sake, so medi wins that one.
And as far as I can tell, DX12 is the only one that has a crooked chest logo! (Granted, there are size issues on the other versions)

I'm still getting it, don't get me wrong, but I have the other versions for comparison and it is not just the cowl that has issues.

There is nothing wrong with the logo!! the lines on the chest are not symmetrical, they have different slope. that's all

Compared to the awful cowl/PERS/smirk face plate.... is nothing to me.
