Haha oh man. Sorry to hear that, well can I see your finalized neutral mouth?

Here's a comparison of my moded DX02 neutral mouth and my moded DX12 "neutral" mouth (I sanded the back so it's sits a little deeper):

Really happy with the DX02 face.


With Rory's squint mod, it will be perfection me thinks.

still confused whether to get this or Toyfair Exclusive .....which one is better?

The thing I would ask myself if I were you is do I want a batman begins or dark knight/rises batman?

In my opinion, this figure looks better right out of the box.

Both are improved by modifications, but the TF Begins figure needs them more.

Good stuff dude. But that stock neutral...damn..just can't get rid of the smirk look, even after making the upper part sit in more the smirk is still there. I thought it would.

Anyhow, aren't you glad you took the plunge and sanded the dx02 mouth (save for the talking one...)? I was shaking in my boots the moment I cut off the peg, I was like, well, no turning back now.

Oh and I just want to add, mag, with the pics you posted, what I love about the dx02 mouth is that he looks serene. followed by the stock mouth, he's....whimsical.

As awesome as rorys mod is, if I had the skill AND a second head, i would mod one just like his and keep the other one untouched. More options I guess. With stock eyes, he can look intense and determined, whereas with the squint, he can look deep In thought or infuriated.

All we need are different mouth plates. Can you imagine with rorys squint, and a face plate that resembles the "not everything...not yet" look???

Good mods all around here fellas. Awesome mods on an awesome figure.

These mods and improvements all look excellent guys!

Still I don't think we should have to mod a $250+ figure in the first place, let alone carve up parts of other figures in our collections to help do so. Hot Toys really let me down with this one. If they don't improve upon the Bane prototype, they've saved me a lot of money I had planned to happily give them.

I'm pretty satisfied with what i see of the final product, i don't think this figure is in desparate need of these kinds of changes.

OK, I just got DX12 and it truly is an amazing figure. But how the FRICK do you get the damn cape pegs in properly!?!?! I can slide them in easily enough, but how do you get them to click in place so that they dont show!?!?! I havent tried pushing too hard just in case I break something?

Any tips would be great guys!!! Thanks!!!

Oh god this is gonna sound dirty...but I'll try my best to keep it clean.

Insert the peg vertically, try to get it in there as deep as you can. Wiggle if you have to, then you should be able to push it down flush on to his traps. You just gotta futz around with it.

Hi mate! Could you please explain us how did you make the mouthplate fit in the cowl?

Thanks in advance!

I'll be very curious to see whether you think the Medi head is too big for the DX12 once you have it in hand.



Here are my thoughts on the DX12 head's potential:

With a custom or DX02 face plate (or the stock angry face) and the squint mod, the only problem with it is that it's too thin - front to back. I know I said that I didn't care that the back of the head doesn't stick out enough, but from the side it does look odd, like the back of his head could never fit inside the cowl.

With that one exception, I think the DX12 head with mods is the best option for this figure. As long as your display is showing him from the front (more or less), it will look great.

I know the brow isn't right, but that is such a minor issue. With the squint mod the whole eye area looks great IMO.




Impossible!

To me the inaccurate shape around the back is a major issue, I plan to have at least 2-3 of these on display in various dios and I can't get around the inaccurate profile - even if its not strictly visible it will always bother me

Great mods all round.

Personally i'm putting my faith in CREG to do an all round better cowl. That or the modded medi will do it for me.

I'm hoping to get CREG's version too, your input in his thread goes a long way to making it as accurate as can be, it should be the best 1/6 TDK Batman head to date, hope it doesn't take too long tho

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

I have the DX2 and this new one is on the way. Can the face plates from the DX2 also fit this one? If so would anyone say one is better than the other or is the mod needed regardless?

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

I'm pretty happy with this guy straight out of the box..but the mods I've seen so far do seem to be improvements. Without spares to try them on though I'm still hesitant.

It would be great if someone compiled all the mods and posted a thread with tutorials and pictures. Sure it would save people a lot of trouble searching and keep inquiry posts to a minimum.

One gripe I do have with the DX12 is the way they've made it impossible to straight swap the Bruce sculpt onto other figures with the change in size of both sides of the neck adapter.... pain in the a**.

honestly I would look into a custom cape, even if you manage to get the cape in correctly, it still looks terrible, I got a cape from Iforigno of ebay for 20 bucks and it makes the figure look 10 times better
