Did it have RDJ's face on it and plug into a neck peg?

What's 4 months?

What's 4 months?

He said 4 mouths. The figure has 4 mouth plates.

Howard's got to be at STGCC at least one day. If someone in Singapore sees him, please ask him about the Bruce Wayne head.

I'm worried about that comment, on that its a consolation piece to make up for not including bale.

My thoughts exactly.

They removed the black stand base from the mark I 2.0.

And a lot of people went crazy on that. While some said it was too petty a reason to go nuts, I get that those who complained were not mad about the standard stand but on what HT did, that is to not include on the final product package something -- no matter how small or deemed unimportant for some -- that was listed on the proto specs. That sparked a lot of paranoia when the shotgun wasn't anywhere to be seen on early DX11 photos from conventions.

I wonder if they will make a 1/4 Bane.. Here is what I would want in one if they made him..

I know it's not much but I think the swappable eyes would look awesome for fighting 1/4 Batman.

Anyway, I apologize for coming off as condescending. That was not my intent. Clearly, we just have different opinions, and I am more forgiving when it comes to the proto to production transformation. I'm happy to agree to disagree.

All is forgiven Mags, besides it was not only u who wanted to talk abou the DX12 and I might of misinterpreted things to.




Now we can just go on and look forward to the QS001 and hopefully both of us will not have mention the DX12 again! Just want to see more pics of the QS001!

Personally, I think The Joker would be great, with that being said, I'd be perfectly satisified if they bookended this release with a 1/4 scale Begins Batman, as a sort of "Alpha and Omega; the beginning and the end." That being said, hypothetically speaking, let's say they did make Bane. The swappable eyes thing you were referring to was probably PERS, but what if they reverse engineered the "interchangeable faces?" How cool woul it be if the top part of Bane's mask came off to reveal a Pers panel, but the exposed parts of his face also were removable. A lot of people say that "a large portion of Hardy's performance was captured in his eyes," and then others argue that "there was much more than just eye movement, though, such as his brows, etc." Well, imagine if they actually did include swappable face played with different levels of "expressiveness" to show off the PERS. Forgive me, my imagination gets the better of me and I wind up going off on a tangent.

If HT makes a habit of this, you may need to change your status about the PERS.

The next logical step to revolutionizing either a 1/6 or 1/4 batman figure is to include swappable eye plates that house the PERS.

Every batman actor emotes with his eyes and mouths. Should HT one day revisit TDK for both scales, the ONLY way I would flop my cash for them is when they make a contraption that gives us the option to swap out eye plates that offer squint and fierce. I imagine the tool looking similar to the tool that allows us to move the eyeballs, but more elaborate.

I know I'm thinking way ahead over here, considering how THIS piece hasn't even shown up on our doorsteps. But one can dream no?

Damn, you and I are on the level today, Wolf. Did you see my previous post? Interchangeable brows/eyelids FTW!

Well it's a good idea nonetheless.

Well EB did swappable eye pieces for the first EB GOD Bruce Lee. So the idea doesn't sound that far fetched.

Nope, odds are you were probably typing as I was. Seriously, though, I'd dig a "Suped up" Bane with "Take controwall of youah Citeh" eyes, regular eyes and "fierce" eyes., but I'd also totally be up for a Batman with the option to have the "panther" squint and a neutral set. The good thing about this figure is that it seems like it's all about the lighting. A lot of these pics look like they've got the "squint" due to shadows, while others appear to have a more neutral look at different angles, with that, the PERS, and the expressive mouth plates, we may be set on that front.

Well, thank you sir. I appreciate that. To be fair, though, if we're letting our imaginations run wild, **** interchangeable brow plates; I want pre-programmed animatronic figures with silicon skin that can walk, perform scenes, and recite lines from the flick.

 

[17noir]

I get your point, but have HT ever removed something that important from a figure before? I've heard of them adding an extra head, but never removing one, especially when, technically, it's the only "full" headsculpt in the set. Plus, I hardly see how an extra faceplate equates to a full-on Bruce Wayne head, and I don't know what else they could possibly pack in to even it out. I'll just say this, my friend: "patience is a virtue." The odds are that we'll find out whether he's got it or not before this guy is even close to shipping, so that's plenty of time.

If they did remove the hs, I'm sure people who bought it would flip out. For me, if they knocked off like 20% of the price, I wouldn't mind. Don't intend on displaying him without the cowl.

Your welcome but I think you should calm down now.

I agree that there would be some, but I don't know if I would or not; I guess it would depend on how good the Wayne sculpt was/how good the other faceplates look on the figure. Personally, if they nailed the Wayne sculpt like the rest of this, I'd be a bit disappointed, as I'd like the "Hong Kong rooftop" set-up, with the empty cowl and backpack, for at least a little while.

That being said, I don't know that I'd flip out, but I'd still be a tiny bit disappointed even if the other faceplates looked spectacular, as the inclusion of the backpack and empty cowl would strike me as Howard being a massive tease.
