Hot Toys TDKR: 1/4th scale Batman [QS001] - Full Reveal & Specs

[batfan08]

They should have a figure of the guy in TDKR that said "How many of there are you, son?" And "You can't stop twelve million people from leaven' this island."
With a robot op feature for saying those lines, with a sort of scared/sad face with a tear going down and a neutral smiling head. Only the smiling one would have PERS.

This thread has evolved into pure, unadulterated creativity and imagination. I'm halfway sure that said thinking done on my part is partially due to sleep deprivation.

Pretty ingenious idea then, I guess you could remove the PERS plate then put the swappable eye lid plate in then put the PERS back in again. Actually doesn't sound too hard at all, now that I think about it.

Yup, like so.

Sorry for stealing your pic hologram, I didn't have any pics of the pers plate.

Basically that is what's inside the cowl, pers plate. I, along with others, took the bastard out and sculpted new eyelids to achieve smaller eyes. All HT needs to do is make 2-3 different plates with varying emotions, magnetize it, then boom. EVEN MORE posing options.

 

[batfan08]

Ok looks like it can be done then but I doubt Hot Toys will do it.




I hope a lot people cancelled then.



What do you mean by that? Like now they listen to their fans?

If I had to guess, I'd say that HT has built up such relationships with their licensors that it's probably easier to get things done faster than previously.

Yep, that would be very, very awesome.

Oh cool so did you post any pics on here in the DX12 thread?

There have been quite a few pics that I've seen, but they were mostly if the finished product, and not the steps; for a time, there, I think Gipetto was actually taking commissions to do it for folks, so, if you can find that thread, you can probably find quite a few pics.

Ah, that's true, I suppose. If really like to see HT start innovating again, but, for the time being, this is one hell of a release, and, even discounting stuff like eye plates, it seems pretty damned definitive. Another innovation that I'd like to see HT tackle: real gloves with articulated fingers housed within.

Like the Iron Man ones but have them be EXTREMELY tough, with light fabric over them (like gloves) and have the rubber material for the little knuckle pads. Also a really really REALLY thin rubber for Joker's gloves to have him hold a single card without it falling (I have to press my Joker's fingers together in order for them the grip a card).

Joker needs Leather or Pleather gloves (or whatever material is comparable to the real gloves. Personally, I wish they would've done it with the new 66 Batman figures, why have extra "Batusi" hands when you can just pose them that way yourself?

Hmmm, back then, they took all criticisms to heart. Made changes when they needed changes. Gave us a crapload of accessories and didn't charge us up the bum.
But the more exposure they got, the more powerful they got. Howard chan even stated in an interview how he hates nitpickers. For quite some time now, they kind of stopped listening to the fans and just shipped out products that, in the eyes of some, we're essentially unfinished, unpolished.

The emotions you're experiencing from most of us here isn't really happiness because HT updated QS001...It's more like...we're surprised that HT actually DID update it. Because as of the past 2 years, HTs weren't as aggressive with updating their products. Sure you had some alterations here and there, such as reeve superman and Bruce lee. But that's about it.

Yeah, they would probably save money by just having one set of hands.

The earlier MKs needed approval from RDJ himself apparently. And he felt HTs earlier efforts didn't capture the spirit of RDJs portrayal of the character.

 

[batfan08]

Yep, the only thing I can think of is that they would need to work out a way to keep fabric gloves from getting caught in the finger joints/tearing.

Yup. Dark, the past few pgs in the dx12 thread are all about this mod because member hologram is currently modding his eye plate. I posted a picture with a brief explanation on what I did. And like what batfan has suggested, if you're interested, you can go into the dx12 mod thread and you should find options should you decide to alter your dx12.

Wow you learn something new every time, I actually thought they never cared to begin with what their fans thought.

I am sorry the emotions I am experiencing? I am not really experiencing any emotions from any of you guys. Well for me with this piece personally, I am actually happy that they changed it because they changed it and I am actually surprised they did to. So I am both happy and surprised about the changes.

Well right now I am jut focusing on this 1/4 scale figure but I will be sure to check out what you did.

 

[Captain Clown]

Here is a photoshop I did of what it could look like with the "swappable eyelids". I think this would be awesome. Let's spam HT FB page with this!

Nah dude, back in the day, they were like your big brother, always watching out for you and helped you whenever you're in a tight spot. Nowadays, they're like parents. As in, this is what you're gonna get and you're gonna be happy about it. And if you keep this up, you're not getting any dinner tonight....

...well, not exactly like that, but I'm sure you get the idea.

Haha what I meant was, that the old schoolers like myself have become cynical of HTs. Many have complained and saw no changes. Which is why I, personally, was more surprised than happy that HTs did make updates to this, since for a while they seemed like they couldn't care less.

Can't see the pic bro.

Can you see this? This is how they could use that feature
