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

[JEDSTER]

That's exactly what i normally do, i go to CSC all the time to pick up. RIchard and staff are great there! However, when it comes must have exclusives, i go through SS and it really is a gamble ordering through them. I pray this works out and they send me a replacement. So far it's looking like the textured armor plates could be an issue but i sure hope not.

I'm very OCD, i know every figure isn't perfect but with issues like this, i just can't overlook it. I always inspect figures when i receive them and i really hope SS can help me out on this!

Sucks Aneel closed shop man!

Oh I know man. I am the same way, I am very particular and very OCD like that too. So I definitely know what's it like.

Thanks man! Your wish is my command:

That's a nice line up but dam is he short, probably the same height of Bruce Lees 1/4 scale figure.

Not sure how I'll display them. Might box the EB Batman and let the HT version take its place between the Joker and T-800 in their display cases. Otherwise I think I might buy another case and just have the HT Batman on the night table next to the bed. I'm running out of space.

Ah the biggest problem collecting 1.4 scale figures.

IMO, clever posing can only go so far in hiding the hight difference.

Yeah the way I see it you would have to bend the legs on both the EB one or Joker one and have him hunched over or something. Which would look ****.

I'll be displaying this and the EB bat, but far apart on different shelves?

Yeah makes sense.

Great pics, but man do those gloves look dopey.

Yeah, the overly bulky glove straps made it look dopey.

That's why I cut them off and I post pics with it a couple page back showing the figure without those bulky straps, TDKR style and it made a good difference.

I like it so much more without the glove straps.

 

[Darkavatar]

No i wont be cutting every glove down, much like the dx12 ill find the set im going to stick with and cut the buckle off. I rarely re pose. Once hes being parted out which he no doubt will ill just pick up another set if i ever sell.

Ahh smart move.

BTW some of the items have been parted out now on ebay but I don't think the gloves have.

Any pics of this gap? I'm not seeing it.

The space between your ears?

Yeah, I had that email too. Don't believe them.

 

[JEDSTER]

Nope, I agree. The elbow area is too exposed when the gauntlets slide down the arm. To do it properly I would say you would have to slice 5mm or so off the wrist on the body. Easy enough to do with a dremmel cutter. But then the arms might look too short. Hard to know.
As it stands it looks like a big gap.

Actually having the gauntlet lowered puts the elbow guard right on where the elbow is. I don't see any big gap.

Me too. That's not too bad though - nice to have a definitive date to go along with a definitive figure!

Me too. From a selfish point, I hope it's late October as I've over spent

Damn I can't believe this thing is such a short arse.

Next to the Enterbay Batman he looks like a kid. His legs look tiny!

Definitely displaying them apart. Plans well and truly scuppered.

Considering SSC aren't shipping out until mid October I don't see how MB can ship earlier.

I had the same email. I replied to mark saying what I just said. No reply as yet. Lol

I spoke to Kate when I ordered from mothers basement as it was sold out, she rang around and added more stock. She told me they stock from many different suppliers, so you never know.

I put him next to EB joker today and just laughed.
He's tiny next to him.

I'm really pissed that the Ex is already shipped !! The same product guys, the same. A item with something more is shipped later ...

Wtf !!!

I thought it looked like the gauntlets are further down the arm. I know there are gaps on the real suit, but it's so skintight compared to the arms on this that it's a completely different deal. It just changes the arm shape, I guess. It makes the gauntlets look a little short IMO. I felt the same when I did it to my 1/6th. But it's more noticible here. Each to their own. But I do hate the gauntlet straps. The fists are a bit on the small side already though. Hmmmm.....

I don't think Hot Toys knows what 1/4 scale means they just make every 1/4 scale figure 18 inches tall just like the Endo one. Has anyone here measured to see if the Endo and this are pretty much the same size?

Ahh. It was my one biggest worry with him. Shame. It's like medicom back in the day when they would bring out a kick *** figure only it was tiny compared to the rest of your collection!

Rory, did you do that trick that was posted a few days back, some one popped out his feet joints then didn't put them back fully. It made him pretty much the same height as the Enterbay but less stable, apparently. And the gap between the knee pads and the boots was increased. I'd be interested to know how you found this, if you've done it.
