my DX12 with custom mouth piece by robbiethepainter, gloves and neck mods, and custom cape by lforigno...

Neck length looks pretty darn good IMHO.

Gonna repost this again:




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:

That pic was such a help when I first opened mine a few weeks back. I had no clue how to get the cape in properly.

Hey guys, wanted to share one more new mod. New non-pers eyes for Batman, taken from the Bruce sculpt. I carved into one and painted it. Also displayed here with Robbie's custom face plate.

And with these two alterations, I think I am truly done with any intensive mods for this figure. I am looking forward to outfitting this with the custom cowl from monkeyrobotmaster, but aside from that I can't think of anything else I could do with it.

Tried to futz with it aka pull on it and here's what I came up with.

With the belt:

Without the belt:

and the lifting back plate:

Worth replacing? Im curious, when you guys close the legs completely what is it supposed to look like? Does the cod piece pull toward one side or the other?

The strap down the center/middle of the abs is like that just incase anyone's worried. The left or right sides of the abs cover it a tiny bit. Mine definitely is and I looked at pics of other people's and they are the same as well.

So no worries there, don't concern yourself with that. As long as the abs themselves aren't misaligned, and yours aren't, you're good.

The codpiece is an issue though so if you couldn't straighten it out, you're going to have to gently peel it and then glue it.

My T2 T-800 had a silver stud that fell off the jacket lapel. I used Aleene's Original Tacky Glue, it's made for crafts and fabrics (brown bottle, google it). For broken off pieces and other damage, I used Quick Grip from beacon. It's in a yellow and green tube, google it. Tacky Glue is at Michael's, Quick Grip is at Michael's and Walmart. Both glues are as good or better than the crap Hot Toys uses.

Just a dab will do ya.

Impressive mod! I can see that it looks very well done, but I honestly don't see Any Bale in there at all. Looks like a cosplayer IMO.

Not gonna lie that modded faceplate looks so weird. The mouth looks way too big, so does the chin.

Yep. Mine is and I never noticed till these pics went up.

And I've been preaching Quick Grip since the DX02.


I bought mine at Hobby Lobby.

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

Quick Grip is probably better in this instance than Tacky Glue because of the codpiece itself. It's a lot bigger than a small, little silver lapel stud. The latter will still work though.

I don't know what glue they (Hot Toys) uses, but it's cheap crap. It's usually applied sparingly like in the case of magnets for DX heads, magnets, belts, etc. I still remember how prominent the problem of neck rings popping out of the heads was on the older figures with sculpted necks.

Both the eyes and mouth are taken from the DX12 Bale sculpt though.

Well, I like it. nothing more I can do without having to sculpt entirely new parts for the cowl.

Maybe. I could make one from the Bruce sculpt I just carved into. Maybe I could shrink it somehow.

I personally like Robbie's face plate. It's either that or this:

Nice.

Which cape?

 

[Jmlsuperman]

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

So how do I get one of these lforigno capes for this thing?

The weird thing is it looks fine as part of the BW sculpt, but when that portion of the sculpt is taken to use for Batman, it looks extremely odd.

I know, but I think it has something to do with the cowl being a bit too small? maybe by compressing those parts (eyes and mouth) it sort of change the likeness? That said, I think the Bale sculpt that comes with the DX12 is like maybe 90% likeness at best.

I think that smirking mouthplate is still the best, out of the whole bunch (including the mouthplate from the Bale sculpt). But yeah, I totally agree, at the end of the day you are the one who should be happy with it and you should be, its an impressive mod nonetheless.

Sorry you fellas feel that way.

I stand behind Robbie's face plate. I was taking test shots of it when I first got it and I thought it was simply exceptional, especially at about 3/4s.

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

Plasmid, that looks awesome. I tried doing that as well, but I wanted to retain pers. goes without saying, it was disastrous. Hollowing out the eyes were way too hard and far beyond my current skill set.

It's interesting though, you took the eyes from the Wayne sculpt right? I'm assuming you made an eye plate, sort of like the plate that housed pers, but without the pers. the eyes are kind of the same size as the original plate. A bit smaller, but a quick glance, none would be the wiser.

I like it though. Especially with Robbie's mouth plate.
