Super Freak
Personally I don't come here for approval to buy a HT figure or PF. If I like it, I just buy it. I purchased this Armor Batfleck before I came to the freak show.
Everyone can spend their money how they want to. Don't worry about it StormShadow just focus on you.
Anyways I'm really debating on this one. It looks great and I really want it, but I need to see if I can swing it.
Our excu-- I mean sentiments are almost the same. I love Battle-damaged look, I even customized a few of my Hot Toys and NECAs before into BD. I was also looking forward to this one, but when I saw the proto pics I didn't like it as much as I thought I would. I'm a big fan of The Dark Knight Returns graphic novel and the Armored Batman has always been a grail figure for me. I guess after seeing the proto for this I realized that to my eyes, the cleaner version best represents Miller's Armored Batman -- until the one based on the actual comic gets made on 1/6, 1/4, or 1/3 scale, of course
Still, this looks like a good figure and happy for those who'd be getting one.
I think this figure overall looks awesome. Wish the eyehole was busted out though and the expression a bit angrier and less stoic, but even aside from those, if I really wanted it I'd still get it. Neither of those would be deal breakers.
However, it just really doesn't have a place in my collection now. As mentioned, had it came out last year with the rest of the line it may have, but like you, I really like the full look of the Armored suit and I already took care of the inclusion of a spear in my BvS display.
Once people start receiving this in hand though, it'll be awesome to see the pictures of him with Superman.
