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 &

Took some post glove/gauntlet mod pics.
I cut the buckles off of the gloves, flared out the wrist part of the gauntlet just a little, and I bent the elbow pads in.

Also, on display is the lforigno TDK cape, velvet, medium length, hero template. I also have a rayon coming from him as well, and I'll take more shots when that gets here.

Great pics man. I look forward to your pics of the rayon cape. I've been debating whether or not to buy that for this or not. I love the velvet but at the same time I'm not a huge fan of the way it reflects when the light hits it. Did you paint the eyes at all or is that just the lighting that makes it darker in the pics above?

Thanks.

Just lighting. Like I said when I got him a couple of days ago; in hand, and from normal viewing distance, any eye painting or mod is unnecessary.

Also, the velvet is a pain to work with. I'm hoping that the rayon drapes more naturally on it's own without needing as much futzing. Maglor says that's the case, and I believe him.

I'm inclined to agree after seeing those pics. I may just leave them be.

The cape I didn't have to much trouble with except getting it to stay in the cape slots while I was trying to futz it. Eventually I got them to stay in and got it to lay how I want it at the moment.

Thanks! Yeah that's how he's currently posed in the detolf. Captures the new movie and figure well I think.

Fixed the crooked chest plate and made the shoulders and gauntlets appear smaller.

Great shot, and work, Maglor.
Is breaking something the only way to remove the chest armor to fix the crooked pec plate?
That's what I gathered from the quote that describes the process in your mod thread.

... I want a DX02 neutral face plate. :/

Yeah, I had that issue too. They kept slipping out.
I hate how the side length of the velvet cape wants to curl in on itself. Does yours do that? I really can't wait to get the rayon one.

Yes.

To be honest, I don't recommend the mod unless the chest plate really drives you crazy. It never really bothered me and I don't know if it was worth the hassle.

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

That's what I thought. Yeah, I won't even think about it again now unless someone comes up with a magical solution that doesn't involve cutting something just to get at it.

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

No cutting. Just breaking glue seals.

It's the re-gluing that's stressful.

Picked up the DX12 yesterday, some pics to add to the massive pile that have already been shown. I decided to leave him stock except for the neck mod and cape, for now.

Just got mine and I have been leaving this thread alone but can you explain the neck mod please?

.......................

A quick breakdown of the neck mod for anyone curious:

1. Carefully split the post in two at the seams.

2. Remove the bottom rubber grommet, don't be too rough, as it is glued in place.

3. Snap the neck post back together. There are four posts that snap together, so you don't even need to glue it.

The difference is subtle, and you may not even think its necessary, but I personally think it makes a difference, and fixes the only issue I had with this guy.

For those having trouble getting the cape to lay flat.


The part of the clip indicated by the arrow below needs to be pushed under the suit. Until you do that it will be a constant problem. Once you get it under the suit you literally never need to think about it again. It will lay flat until the day you remove the cape.

Here is what you should see once the clip is in place:

Best DX12 on the board buddy! Looks just like Bale.

Thanks man.

I've kind of forgotten what the stock figure looked like in-hand.

I have a second one coming from BBTS and I look forward to seeing them side by side.
