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

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

This is early, early stuff. Everything is stock and unmodified. Very little time taken to futz and pose:

​

Quick thoughts:

1) The cape is far and away the best one we have gotten stock. Don't know how anyone could say otherwise. That said, a custom will hang more naturally.

2) The hands pop off constantly. I will definitely be modifying either the gloves or the gauntlets or both.

3) The space between the abs and chest is a total non-issue. Very futzable.

4) I seem to have come off pretty good in terms of QC issues. I can't decide if the eyes are crossed on mine yet, but I'm pretty happy with how they look in the above position. By box was in perfect condition. The only real QC issue I have is that his lower right (our left) ab plate has a white scuff mark near the midline... you can see it in all of the above pics.

5) This figure is much better than the DX02.

Very nicely taken. Getting my Batpod tonight, looking to pose him next to it.

I agree that the hands pop off easily, but will stick to it for now. Looking forward to your mob!

Mags, these look like the DX 02 pics you took. Both are very good...and the poses are almost identical, which is how most folks seem to wanna pose Bats no matter which version we get.

Mag's early pics has convinced me this doesn't need mods at all.
Entirely optional.

The minute you put the Bale and the cowl sculpt next to each other it becomes clear why a neck mod would necessary. Look how much freaking longer the cowl neck is. So bizarre.

didn't think about that. hmmm now looks lik I'll be modding the neck

I know there's a lot of mixed feeling about this guy, but I think he's great.

Quick thoughts:

1) The cape is far and away the best one we have gotten stock. Don't know how anyone could say otherwise. That said, a custom will hang more naturally.

My brother received his last week. I think it's great. There are a few things that annoy me, but overall it's a great figure. It's my favorite, unaltered Batman to date.

I'll try to get some decent shots of him soon. I have kind of a crappy camera. Hoping to get a new one from Christmas.

Recently got two. First off, this is a huge upgrade to the dx02. In.every.way.possbile. Head sculpt, suit, over all construction. Sure he's missing two things from making this the ultimate sixth scale batman figure, but what you get here is an amazing piece. So happy with the purchase, and sad at the same time. It pretty much makes the dx02 obsolete. Especially with the rubber deteriorating, asymmetrical cowl sculpt...I don't know what to do with the two I own.

Update on the dx02 abs...I don't have the DCD batch, but the abs have become rock solid now. WEIRD. Rubber around the crotch area show stretch marks...which is odd considering the neutral pose I had him in. Just...a damn shame.

Anyway, whoever is on the fence about this release, don't fret and don't let any negative opinions affect your decision. GET IT.

Not really, rubber hardens before it goes kablooie.

Leave a rubber band in the sun for a couple of months.

Thanks for dropping knowledge my way man. But it was weird because he was leaking oil for...how many years now? Then one day...boom, rock solid.

All this talk of having to mod the neck is worrying me, I wouldn't have the first clue of how to go about doing that and would be scared I'd mess it up

Dude, don't sweat it. Truthfully, unlike the dx02, the neck mod isn't all that necessary with this figure.

Cape: I thought you'd like the cape. I really can't understand the complaints about it, mine isn't a dust magnet and falls really nicely. It may not be as good as a custom cape but it's far superior to anything HT have given us so far.

Hands: yup, they fall on the floor with ease.

Abs: never an issue for me to be honest, and it's not with the figure in hand.

What do you think of the boots and thighs Mags?



If I listed the issues with this figure in order it would be:

1: Pers (they are all googly as far as i can see, I have 2 heads myself and they are identical to every pic i have seen so far)
2: Thighs
3: Faceplates
4: Boots
5: Gloves (which I don't really care about too much).

Congrats on getting him and nice pics. He kinda has to be looking down though doesn't he? Or at the very least obscuring one or both PERS with shadow?

Look forward to more pics. Here are a few of mine I posted way back when. The rest are over on my collection thread.

Great pics guys!!

Got mine last night, but with the baby and election coverage I didn't have time to really set him up. I am finding it difficult to attach the cape like some others...any help would be appreciated. Not sure which way the tabs are supposed to go into the shoulders. They don't seem to click into the slots.

Thanks for any help!
