Hot Toys THE BATMAN -1/6 Batman / Batman deluxe / Batman + batsignal set

@rory did you do anything to the cape there? Any treatment at all? Looks exceptional.

Yes, HT’s cape is sort of pre ironed and creased nicely. But because of the papery fabric it does not lay flat, even with the wiring. I assume from pics that InArts is similar. So I use some low tack double sided tape here and there in those folds to get a very flush natural looking drape.

The trick is to just use the folds/creases that are already there. I little tape will go a long way.

Most of all their newer releases are selling out and going to waitlist now. As HT is making small quantities so SS doesn't keep a bunch of figures in their warehouse for years. After making a lot of units for Engame and star wars and them not selling they no longer want to risk losing resources and money so they make smaller batches which eventually sell out.

That’s kinda on them tho. They made some crap figures of characters nobody wanted sooooo. Like of course figures like rey and boring storm troopers are gonna sit on the shelf and figures like rots anakin and Spider-Man sell out. They just make poor choices lol

Definitely on them, which is well deserved but they probably have learned their lesson in terms of quantity but sadly not on the IPs they choose to make.

Did any of the Hot Toys sets include multiple capes? Or is it all the same?

Did the motorcycle come with a different cape?

The ht has two capes; a drape and a fully wired one.

Which one is best for displaying the figure?

Depends what you’re after. Rory has worked wonders with the drape by using double sided tape.

I’m not happy but have got the wired one where I want it mostly.

 

[choombaz]

Still waiting on one from Popcultcha. Sure is taking ages.

The distributor website for PC says due end of May

So, is the consensus that the Art15 collar is the best version? I'm about ready to order and have so many options, lol.

Lovely job. Thank you for the advice

 

[Scout Trooper]

Anybody selling the drape cape? (Cheap)

 

[Stephen Gentile]

Happy to have finally got mine. I had the OATY collar ready to go. I also opened the neck on the drape cape to fit better. All in all, a great figure. I have the InArt on order, but not sure if the upgrade and extra expense is worth it now.
