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 &

Pretty disappointed when I first got this guy out of the box, but got to futzing and modding straight away! The gauntlets are very pliable when heated, so I'm going to widen the opening by the wrist and mod some gauntlets to fit in there. The elbows bent in look much better too. I painted the eyelids etc. but couldn't get over how pin-headed he looked, so eventually put the magnets into the medicom head and attached that instead.

Starting to like this guy! I do wish he was more poseable though. The kevlar details are excellent in the light; they are below a translucent layer, just like the real costume.

(No natural light right now so sorry for slightly pixelated photos)

wow, that does look very good

did you do the widening and the repaint yourself as well?

Thanks. I widened the head. Seb painted him for me.

I haven't completely given up on the DX head. I've just done the eyelid mod, and have been trying to reshape the back of the head and enlarge it generally by heating and stretching the plastic.

I put the DX next to my other HT figures and the head is just too small. Looks ridiculous next to Spidey and Blade. Some of the TDK figures have undersized heads too, so its not too bad. Aways fun to have a project anyway!

The medi head matches the height, length of the arms and the size of the legs and hands, but I'm considering beefing up the DX chest to keep it all as in scale as possible. Will post pics if I do.

Eye mod does make a massive difference:

Het r1 make sure you check the tumbler fenders they are not bending out ,since this pic looks like bats is checking everything on the tumbler before he kicks the tire's and starts some fire's.....I dont own one but seen reviews saying to elevate the front of the tumbler because some of the front fenders bow out from the weight .....

Sorry be asking this old question guys, but what acrylic paint did you all use? A picture would be even better. Thanks in advance.

Well picked mine up today, and overall quite underwhelmed by this dx. Emp gun had buggered batteries, no big deal but the Figure suffered from a case of derpy eye syndrome. Going back to the dealer for replacement. Still want this figure, but may apply what I paid for this to the monger that should be in the shop next week, decisions decisions.

The lighting is unfortunate and makes the figure look cross-eyed.
I still don't like the Medi head, the DX12 cowl is better.

Why?. And NO.

Yup. The Medicom TDK figure still has the most screen-accurate cowl in 1/6 scale. It's such a disappointment Hot Toys could not produce something better, even after so many years. In fact, the Hot Toys cowls seem to be getting worse with each new iteration of the TDK figure. The cowl on the DX 12 is just awful. The head is too narrow, and the eyes are googly and dilated because of the PERS. It looks absolutely nothing like Bale.

And a month later and you're still popping into random threads to whine about those who complain. What's new?

The dx 12 head is fine, I feel bad for the people who aren't happy with it as I understand how it can really drive you nuts, but for me personally its good

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

Can you take more pics of your medi-dx12 please?

I'll see what I can do. The DX head looks absolutely ridiculously undersized on the medicom body, so for now I'm returning the medi head to the medi body and modding the heck out of the DX head to make it resemble Bale.

A big issue for me is that the brow of the DX is too slanted. Not a lot I can do about that really, but am trying various heat solutions to reshape the plastic, so I can hopefully at least improve the overall shape. Hopefully Creg's cowl will address these issues, but it could be a long wait, so on with the modding...

Does any one remember the 'ol MMS 71(The Dark Knight version) that was my first Batman fig. Got it on eBay I like a shorter cape so I used it on the DX 12. Looks pretty good.
