We call these "wife beaters"

...which I never understood. What a horrible phrase.

The box only listed Yulli as the sculptor. No mentioned of even a 2nd sculptor.

Interesting, very curious why the sculptor goes unnamed even in production.

It is a pretty horrible name to give it. As for understanding, it's basically because a lot of times on COPS or the news, you see these guys busted for assault and shirts like that are the extent of their wardrobe.

From wiki...

The slang term "wife beater" originates from the popularity of the shirt among post-war working class men, who are stereotypically imagined as violent or abusive.

I personally don't find it offensive because it's in reference to an article of clothing.

 

[Riko]

hehe =D I think you're referring to the vest

lol, thank you very much dude!

******* Christmas. I'd have this guy and the batpod before the end of the month if not for christmas. Now I have a feeling I'll be waiting till late january or if I'm really pessimistic february. People are slow going back to work after chrimbo. My stuff will be sitting idle in a depot.

Show Head sculpt likeness.

Eckhart and Joker are best, Bale's iffy.

 

[SOLIDSNAKE]

harvey does look great.

Might pass on him for the batpod.
Agen sold me to the batpod over harvey.

yeaaa THANKS ALOT AGEN.

 

[MaulFan]

I don't know, the Batpod is flashy now, but I'd be really curious to see how people feel about it 6 months to a year from now. I think Two-Face will have the better longterm investment satisfcation.

No!

Harvey Two-Face > Batpod! You gotta have all of the characters before the toys!

Completely agree. I really don't like either Bale sculpt that HT has made.

 

[wofford29]

I wish all figures would go back to the sculpted neck. So much better.

Depends on the character. For some characters, the extra poseability is more desirable, for others the aesthetic is better. Action characters should have jointed necks, characters like Two-Face and Joker should appropriately have the sculpted.

 

[wofford29]

I don't play with my figures and I prefer museum poses so I'll always be partial to a sculpted neck.

 

[JacktheRipper]

most american sites have him for a june 2009 release. HT has him for release before the end of 2008 begining of 2009. Is this the HK release and won't be released through DC here in the states until june?

Im watching TDK on DVD now & comparing the head sculpts, I do agree the Bale sculpt while nice, its just aint as great as the Eckhart or Joker sculpts.

Agree for the most part, but would have loved my HT Joker (BR included) to have a jointed neck....esp having a poster with one of the promo shots in my room - his head is tilted to the max.

I am with you

Maybe not for all figures, but definitely for the most I think.

Hmmm.. not to go off topic again, but this really caught me off guard. Who calls a vest, a suit vest a "Wife Beater"!? Wife Beater's are white cotton tank tops, not vests. That term wouldn't even apply properly. Not sure where wiki came up with that origin but most people who use the term know it's because in MOVIES whenever they want to depict a scumbag, abusive husband, etc. they have them in a dirty, white cotton tank-top. Hence the name.

I've never met anyone refer to a vest as a wife beater. Waist coat, yes. As I mentioned.. but not wife beater. Anyways..

I'm actually digging the Batpod. Looks great.
