It's annoying that you people who live outside of Asia get to have the figure earlier than people like me who actually live in Asia. It's all well and good if those earlier batch have rushed QC but that's not the case because those who have to wait longer have to put up with QC problem as well.

Someone (UK, CAN, AU, USA, NZ) please adopt me. I'm a hard working 31 year old animator.

One of my favorite things about the Medi head is the texture. Thats one of the biggest things to me that makes it look like a shrunken down Screen cowl.

Why?. And NO.

While the Medi head may be more accurate, it's doesnt look right on the DX12 body at least from pics. Only RollingJ's pics make it look somewhat decent. Of course these things always look diff in hand so

And YES

I suppose it's only natural that the Medicom head doesn't sit well with HT's since they make different sized figures although the size difference may be negligible. Medicom's look a bit too big for dx12 on some pictures but perfect on others. So yeah, I agree with Gipetto0812 in regard to them looking different in hand.

AND THERE IS YES OR NO in the matter since it boils down to personal preference at this point.

I don't find that, at least not a lot. Usually my toy shops get these in before the US. DX 12 and the Tumbler were different. I think sideshow had the first batch preordered, so we didn't get anything for a few weeks. Joker 2.0 is in our stores next month.

Really? Well cheers for the info. And BTW, what are you doing up this early?

Why?. And NO.

Because the Medi head is too narrow and the eyes are too close together, it makes the whole thing look like a caricatural slightly elongated Batman.
And YES, because of what I just explained.
Of course it may be confusing to you without lines all over the pictures.
Beyond that, it is of course, a matter of taste.

I think you are referring to the stock Medicom head, which is indeed narrow. However, most people , myself included, when discussing the Medi head are referring to a widened medicom head, the result of a simple modification.

Actually when you look for accuracy, there is no "matter of taste".. the modified medicom head is more accurate than the one from DX12..

BBTS has gotta hurry up and ship this thing.

I don't see it either. The Medicom head just looks really weird. I'll take that inaccurate looking DX 12 sculpt over it any day of the week.

I've explained that the Medi head looks too long.
The modified Medi head still looks too long, too rectangular and accentuates the lack of distance between the eyes.
Only a "matter of taste" can explain why you insist on denying simple facts and cannot take a hint.
Then again you need color lines to compare pictures taken at different angles.
To be clear; let's agree to disagree.

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

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.

Look forward to hearing more about that.

Have you stuck a DX02 face plate on it yet? Really makes it appear larger.

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

I hold what I used up for the camera in my first mod video.

Just any flat black acrylic will work.

The painted eyelids really do make a difference. It also seems like a fairly simple mod with a little patience. If I were getting this figure, that would be the first thing I would do to it.

Is actually a recast

Good recast. Much better than the last BW.

The custom actually looks better in that pic!

PLAID Apple Barrel, FolkArt, etc. Whatever black acrylic (NON-GLOSSY ) you can find at Michael's, Hobby Lobby, Wal-Mart, etc. As long as it's matte and acrylic it will work.

As far as the Medi head goes..it's a great sculpt. Very accurate. The problem is it's much more cheaply made than the HT stuff, and it just looks and feels like it to me no matter how much you do to it. Like popping a Mattel head onto a Hot Toys figure. You can just tell. I can, at least.
