For those of you that don't frequent the DC section, I thought you'd like to see this-

Not bad at all. The pop off hair is fairly seamless, and it seems to work well. Nice!

 

[Ra88]

Not bad, but it looks like the movement isn't fluid, if that makes sense. It also looks like he's etither being cautious or applying force, and both could be bad in the long run; paint could scrape or something with the PERS mechanic could break.

The hair is done very well though! But I wonder if the DX Batman will have an obvious seam on the back of his head now or not...

 

[Bustajesse]

Very cool

 

[Shai]

I LIKE IT.....

 

[Shropt]

Looks cool. Never saw the hair seem until they pulled off the back piece.

Good idea.

I really think they should have made it so each eyeball could be positioned seperate from one another, rather then in unison.

 

[Magnuz]

But theres no reason for separate eye movement, since human eyes don't do that, and doing both at once means you don't have to position them separately and make sure they are matched, so i like it, alot simpler and easier it seems than enterbay's single eyes.

Just really curious how it'll be on batman.

That looks great. It's easier to see the join on the second view, when you can keep your eyes off the nifty shift stick, then the eyes, it operates. I hope that flap of hair is resilient. I wonder how it will perform in situ. I look forward to reading your forthcoming reviews. With all their milking, there was bound to be some cream. Now they're whipping it.

Yea, i would just like to have the option of spending a few mins setting the eyes to the position i'd like best, i just hope the eyes can be positioned up and down as well, since we don't see this in the vid.

The batman's head doesn't have any seams, when I saw and handled the proto a while ago. But I didn't get a chance to take off and examine the parts though. So I can't really say.

Having said that, I'd still prefer enterbay's eye system, as I can really adjust it by the milimeter, on each eye. Rather than have a restricted parallel eye adjustments. But I'll check these out next week and compare them then.

 

[galactiboy]

Nicely done... looks a little easier to manipulate than EB. My only concern would be if one of the eyes somehow gets "off track" (if that's at all possible) it would likely be hard to correct.

 

[EVILFACE]

Looks pretty kewl.

They seemed to look up, but there was no sign of them looking down, at least not accutely!

I reckon that's because the guys fingers are too thick. When viewed front on, the eyes aren't centred. The shifter, at the back, is though. It looks to have plenty of room to swing around, but not much room for a couple of digits. Better tight, right?

 

[Hydeous]

We'll find out soon enough!

In approximately 5 business days, that is

 

[SwedishHeat]

So, how does it work, do you just twist the knob in the back, or does that stick move like a joystick??

Message too short my arse!

 

[creecher]

Yeah!!!

Short arse!!!

 

[Wor-Gar]

Better and easier than I thought it would be. Definitely a worthwhile extra. Could have a lot of fun freaking little kids out: "Hey Billy, check out this 1/6th head, it's ALIVE!"
