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

There was some fraying (remember, a woman doesn't push out a 15lb baby without some tearing.) It was nothing that I even needed to address.
Looking forward to modding him some more tonight.
And for what it's worth I actually like the DX 12 head better than the Medicom one in person.

While i think mags modifications are all fine for achieving the look he wants, i do feel like pointing out my issue with two specific ones which i don't agree with if you're trying to achieve accuracy to the film, and that's the armor shim and ab strap painting.

My issues with these are, the shim raises the torso armor but also the shoulder pads, and thusly you move the inner shoulder pad off of the bicep armor where it's supposed to be, based on the film suit that inner shoulder pad stays connected to the arm while the outer one moves, so by raising the armor you move that inside shoulder pad into an improper position, which means to fix a problem your just making another...

The ab strap painting i don't like because it makes the ab straps almost invisible against the black under mesh, and if you look at stills of the suit you can clearly see the straps, because while the suit's technically black, it's varying shades of black/grey that mean the ab straps are not as dark as the underlying body suit:

Again personal preference dictates you can do whatever you like to your batman, but i think for accuracy those two particular mods aren't as good as some of the others.

You know, you are right, it doesnt matter since the chestplate covers the opening anyway. Nice job removing the suit. I couldn't so it through the neck opening no matter how much I tried.

now, you need to chop those shoulder pads up mate.

Damn straight. Already started. :)




They look deflated compared to the photo shoot set with the grey-ish backdrop.

I had done nothing yet to the thighs in the "grey-ish backdrop" set.

Also, The suit was removed from the opposite figure. Meaning it's the one labeled "stock" in the grey set.




After seeing the thunder thighs comparison, I am going to leave the suit on. I'm too afraid to remove the armor and I am kind of into a little meat on a woman.

:lol Me too, but Batman isn't a woman.

Still in his package.

can batman come out and play?
 
Re: HOT TOYS : MMS DX 12 - The Dark Knight Rises - BATMAN / BRUCE WAYNE Full Specs &

I'm so happy that I can finally take a few years off from buying Batman figures until the eventual reboot/JLA movie. I've bought every one that's come out but this is really the only one I'll need

I was talking about the real Dark Knight photo set that Magnuz partially posted.

Sorry Mags but I think you're wrong about this strap color thing. When I was looking up reference pics for the shoulder plates, I looked at the straps too and in none of them did the straps look at the black as the abs

In these (as well as you're own reference) you can see the abs are a darker black where as the straps look a little lighter

That being said, all that matters is if you're happy with it so what does it matter to anyone else
 
Re: HOT TOYS : MMS DX 12 - The Dark Knight Rises - BATMAN / BRUCE WAYNE Full Specs &

Meh. They're objectively too light on the figure.


It's one of the things that turned me off about the figure from the day the first proto pics came out.

Like I said, if you're happy, that's all the matters.











But you're wrong

:nana:

Those that had the issue with the boots oiling up, clean them then try wrapping tissue paper around the legs. So when the boot slips on, you don't get rubber in contact with rubber.
 
Re: HOT TOYS : MMS DX 12 - The Dark Knight Rises - BATMAN / BRUCE WAYNE Full Specs &

Just look at the bicep straps. You really don't think they're lighter (grey) on the figure, comparing them to the gauntlets and other black details?


The ab straps are the same.

They aren't the same. You can clearly see on the left arm (right in the picture)
 
Re: HOT TOYS : MMS DX 12 - The Dark Knight Rises - BATMAN / BRUCE WAYNE Full Specs &

Not the same color. Look at the other arm. Black around the bicep plate and the shoulder plate is darker than that of the strap
 
Re: HOT TOYS : MMS DX 12 - The Dark Knight Rises - BATMAN / BRUCE WAYNE Full Specs &

It's lighting. If anything, the straps look darker than the gauntlets on the other arm. Not sure why this is a debate...

Have to agree, a bit of splitting hairs here...difference seems negligible. :dunno

You kept it going :dunno:lol

I tried to stop it when I first said "with that said, as long as you're happy" you continued to post pictures to try to prove your point therefore I did the same and still don't think you're right. Again though as I said before, if you're happy with what you did fine. Doesn't make me none, I was just having a bit of fun at your expense :lol

It is...it's just fun to prove Mag wrong b/c I picture him going frantic posting pics trying to prove he's right. Just some early afternoon fun for me
