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

Eh? Are you saying they made his eyes huge to piss off nitpickers?

The eyes are no bigger than the Keaton Bat, and I aim to prove it with pics when I get it.

If I'm wrong then the pics will prove that too.

Regardless of how they compare to Keaton's Batman, that squint is Bales signature look in the TDK suit and probably the Begins costume aswell. His eyes being as open as they in fact are on DX12, same degree as Keaton or not, throws off the look.

But there were plenty of times in all movies where he wasnt squinting. Granted, his eyes could've been a tad bit smaller. But like maglor said, have a little white under his eyes show and it'll be good.

One thing is for damn certain, his mouths could've used some work as well. This was proven when one poster here molded the bale mouth sculpt and...waddaya know, it improved the entire cowl tenfold...which goes to show the cowl and eyes themselves are good to begin with, but it's the damned mouths that are throwing everything else off.

IMO, what made the Keaton bats stand out was the immaculate sculpting of the mouth pieces. It was undeniably Keaton! From the way he does his zoolander "blue steel" lips, battle damaged tired look, and slight, devious smirk...the sculptor NAILED his likeness. If one were to sculpt a mouth piece that kind of looked like Keaton, placed it on 89 bats...I'm positive he will look totally different and will spark just as much debate and arguments here.

I don't remember him not being squinty in the TDK suit.

It doesn't ruin the figure, its just an irritation considering it was a flaw with the DX02 - frequently complained about - and they didn't address it for one reason or another.

I don't really agree there BrooklynWolf (about the faceplates making the cowl). I don't think this Bale Batman cowl/head is in the same league as the '89 version, regardless of face plates.

The DX 09 cowl sculpt is a work of art (IMO), with or without the face plates. The shape of the head, the sculpt of the brows and shoulder bones, the texture on the cowl, it's very defined and very accurate. The PERS eyes are set in the back of cowl inside the head and just the way the cowl sits and the way they painted the skin around the eyes actually makes it appear as though the headsculpt is wearing a mask. If the eyes are the same size as this one, it's not as noticeable with how they constructed it. I'm actually surprised how well the cowl turned out, disregarding the PERS panel seam on the back of the head.


I can't honestly say the same things about this DX 12 head. It doesn't capture anything but a googly eyed toy with three swappable face plate gimmicks and moveable eyes. There's nothing real about it, in my opinion. It looks like a toy, it looks like an action figure. Sure, from certain angles and under the right lighting it could look real, but we're getting into specifics here.

Jesus Difabio, you're playing with fire here. I've fixed your post to head off the inevitable anti-complaining posts which will follow (not talking about Maglor or BrooklynWolf)

DX09 looks like Keaton but DX12 does not look like Bale. For me it's that simple. And yeah, very toyish.

But **** it, Ive come to accept it. Im going to make this guy look like the goofiest bastard on my shelf.

Yes, but you can't put DX12 boots on the DX02!
They melt. Go back a few pages, I posted a pic.

I saw that and thought it was pinned down to where you live and what you are doing to your air

He can take it, because he's not our ideal figure. He's an ugly toy, a googly eyed protector . . . a Derp Knight.

Would really be interested in that pic. Went back many pages but couldn't find it. Can you post it again please?

Is it melting with the DX02 leg's rubber?

Why not just use the search feature to find posts by Rory??

I did search but somehow must have scrolled it over. But don't worry, found it going back some more pages again. Thanks for your help...

(...)

Looking at this comparison I think blackening the DX12's eyelids could help improving the googly eyes issue. Think HT didn't enlarge that area, but the thin red lines just look off.

What do you think?
