Took a quick (and crappy) tablet photo for you, buddy! I hope it's good enough though
This is perfect, thanks, mate! I just wanted to see how the pieces were positioned from your description of it.

Yes! I did just about every mod discussed in the QS001 thread. The mouth piece is probably placed deeper into the cowl than it really is in the films, but to me it looks a hell of a lot more realistic the way I have it. This figure is just about perfect to me now.

What's the tony meis face in cowl mod?

I think it was sanding down the inside of the face so it sits deeper into the cowl.
I actually just cut out the inside of where the mouthpieces go.
looks great, but i'm really afraid to do it and ruin the cowl.
what kind of blade did you use? an exacto-blade is enough to cut through the plastic?
did you mess around with the foams inside the batsuit to improve the proportion? if so, can i see pictures?
for those who asked, this is the link that contain detalis about the "face in cowl" mod, idealized by tony mei: https://www.sideshowcollectors.com/...ps-for-Hot-Toys-1-4-Dark-Knight-Figure/page13
I just used an exacto blade on mine. Worked fine for me! I removed the fat suit and the piece of foam that the figure had on the abs. I then cut the foam part in half and stuck the halves on his hips to take care of the tiny waistline the figure gets. I also added a wad of electrical tape to widen the hips a bit more...enough so that the utility belt *just* closes around his waist. Unfortunately i did not take pics.
have you posted pics with the result in the mod topic? if not, could you please show us?
and also, you think your mods contributed for narrowing the shoulders?
sorry for all the questions, it's just i've spent some serious cash on this guy and and want to gather as much information as i can beforre cutting it up.
thanks, man.

If you go through the 1/4 batman customisation thread there's whole heaps of photos and people removing the fat suit and where people took pads off and things of that nature

Do u mean the two gold bars in between the back of the gun and start of the gun extend?

No the actual handle that goes in his hand - the trigger handle thing. It extends.

Oh ok I didn't think it was the gold bars since the both the DX02 and DX12 have that. Wow that's really cool man thanks for the info!

Well, in the most recent interview with Howard Chan, he said that they should be announcing their next 1/4 scale figure very soon. So, it looks like there's still hope for this line to continue, after all.

Just a little freaky
Here's hoping it's going to be joker! Would love to get one and hopefully it would include a ton of accessories as well like the Batman.

I still think it'd be awesome if it was a definitive Begins Batman in the same scale as this guy. It'd be interesting to see if they could go head to head with EB and come out on top.
