Did you get an invoice?

I talked to them yesterday and they said they expect them in one or two weeks.

They said the same thing about the Batpod. Here's hoping lol It'd be cool to get them about the same time.

Honestly? Nah. Not trying to sound like a big baby but this doesn't look like a Christian Bale Batman. Sorry. **** PERS in the ass.

Glad I'm not the only one who thought that.

I just tried my own mod on the gauntlets.... I am not to confident in cutting off the elbow protection piece of the gauntlets, so I warmed them up in very warm water (until soft) and bent them inward about 45°. Once I had them in place, I put them in cold water to hold the angle. They look a lot better that they did stock. When the elbows are bent... they aren't as noticeable, and they now move (somewhat) to the form of the elbow being bent. They also look nice with the arms pointed down in a natural position (not straight down like a robot). Will post pics when I get my camera tomorrow.

Any pics, JW?

It's pretty much the PERS that's pissing me off. Tbh everything else is pretty nice. Not $300 nice but nice nonetheless.

It shouldn't be that hard...

If it wasn't for your reference pic on how to fit the cape Maglor, I would have gone bonkers.
I read through the user guide but I was still at a lost and used force to squeeze in the plastic pegs for the cape into the DX 12 shoulder holes.

Even when I didn't use force to get the pegs through, there were already some scratches on the outside of the shoulder holes....wondering if anyone also encounter scratches when inserting the cape???

I don't think it can all be blamed on the PERS, IMHO. When they choose to do it right it's pretty effective, like on the 89 Batman.

There are more things wrong with the DX12 than just the PERS...the wonky mouth pieces, over sized shoulder pads, over sized gauntlets, the light bulb shaped cowl...for some reason or another HT just doesn't deliver the level of accuracy it has in the past with other licenses. Either they can't do it or they won't do it. Personally I believe they don't want to deliver the quintessential TDK figure...because it's a gold mine for them, and why would you want to stop printing money? DX22...the end all, be all TDK Bats....in 3 years. Just wait & see.

Thanks

I have this figure coming from BBTS as well but honestly I'm not as excited for it as I was DX07. I'm just picking it up to compliment the DX11 I have on the way.

See but i'm not that "technical" when it comes to figures and whatnot. It's not to say i'm easy to satisfy, it's just, when it comes to the most important features they need to be delivered. Eyes are crucial (ie. DX Arnie) looking over it again it's really a nice looking sharp piece. The cape surprisingly is pretty nice as well. I dunno, maybe i'll have the eyes customized. If that's even an option.

Without having to look back over all the massive past posts, can someone post a link to the custom capes. Thanks.

3 posts above yours.

It pains me to admit it, but I'm edging into that camp a little...

Glad to help.
