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

[user 66381]

Really wish there was a custom cowl for this. The rest of the figure is so accurate but every time I look at the cowl the proportions bug me. Neck feels way too long and the cowl too elongated. I know it was noticeably narrower than the Begins suit but not as exaggerated as Hot Toys made it.

I always display mine with the head tilted down to try and create the illusion of it looking closer to the real thing.

It is a nice figure, but I didn't like the size of the head and the thigh proportions so I ended up selling him. (which is a shame because it is otherwise a high quality piece)

I can live with the thigh proportions, though I do see what you mean now I look at it again, but the head really bothers me. There is no way the cowl Bale wore was as narrow and elongated as HT made it. If you have him displayed above eye level with the neck fully exposed it looks ridiculous.

Could someone post pics of custom capes on the figure.
Also, how does it fit onto the figure as the QS001 has those pegs you have to fit the original with those pegs.

Nice review! Flaws aside..both look great together..

Does anybody know if the EB Bruce Wayne head would fit the QS001 with the suit neck attachment?

 

[DarthAlias]

It fits loosely on there. The neck adapter on the EB is too big so it isn’t snug but does fit and looks good.

It's absolutely stunning, I only got it a few months ago (was waiting for the right price) but in the evening with artificial lights, this figure is unbeatable. Looks just like the real thing. Just try it, go into a room at night and put your lights on and look at it from a distance. Needless to say, but that Bale head scupt is perfect in hand. Not too big on the 1/4 Batman Begins but I would really like to have that younger Christian Bale head sculpt, looks awesome too.

Anyone looking to sell this figure.?

I have special edition if you’re interested. However I’m located in U.K.

For those interested in modifying the base i'll put these in here.

As nice and all that the diorama base is...it's darn frustrating to pose the figure on...so i decided to make a new custom top fitting for it...

The top and bottom parts are easy enough to disassemble as they're held together by four screws along with four small pegs.....i broke one of the pegs,but it's no big deal as the screws sufficiently hold the parts together(if i ever decide to reverse it back to stock)

I cut the new top base from an MDF sheet....using the top stock base as a template for the shape. I used some black acrylic paint on the edges and then printed out,cut and pasted one of my favourite bat motifs from the movie.

I finally finished off by cutting and added a thin piece of perspex to the top...held in place with small screws. Both the new top base and bottom base are also held securely together by screws.

Well you improved on the qs009’s by not having the cheap looking bat effects at either side of the front of the base plate [emoji106]

Just picked this piece up - looking into custom capes. Is there a “best” one to keep an eye out for (since they’re likely not produced any more)

I have a Tony Mei cape in mine. Takes it to a new level. Jaxon makes a good cape too.

Both Jaxon and Unreal Customs do amazing custom capes for this and pretty much all Batman figures. I tend to go with Jaxon for the slightly quicker turn around time and better value for money but really can't go wrong with either.

Awesome modded stand! I think I like the blue version a bit more.
