i have NO idea how Hot Toys is capable of such perfection!!! every single picture looks amazing and looks better than the last one, and this last batch of pics look insane!!!!!! I am very happy for the delay in this figure coming out. I can't imagine how amazing two-face will look now.

awwwww man, studiosunny cant ship mine out till mid to late oct/early november either he hasnt got many in from hot toys, and since i only preordered last month i dont have first priority, more like 3rd he didnt have that many preorders for them over the previous months, so he musnt have ordered many in

What is being explained in these photos? i know hes filling up space, but what is the problem? if anyone can read the text on the website-

 

[Reinhardt]

it either looks like he is simply showing that there is a body underneath that is a separate piece, or he is adding something underneath to add more bulk to the figure.

I WANT SOOOO BAD!!!!!! I hope BBTS gets in soon! Ordered back in June so hopefully I'm first shipment.

[MaulFan]

Man, I'm going to have my work cut out for me to top some of these photos, 3 light sources in one shot, hmmm, going to have to get clever on this one.

Thanks, well, I want to play with some lighting like we're seeing in these photos, but I also want some to capture his strength, ferocity and agility demonstrated like when he takes out the SWAT team and Lau's guards, as well as some cool Joker interrogation stuff.

 

[uscmhicks]

the interrogation shots should rock.

I thought about what I was going to do about this cape problem. I sell hair accessories along many other things, and I have these mini size hair clips, maybe about the size of a dime or smaller. I was thinking I could clip the cape so more of the shoulders would show. Or I have these tiny magnets about 2/3 the size of a dime, they have a good weight to them, I could attach the magnets at the bottom of the cape to pull it down and get the same effect as the clips. Would this be a good idea? Let me know if anyone else would want to try.

if you are wanting to make so much effort, why not put all that effort in making a custom cape in the first place

I mean, what are you talking about: 'hair clips' - 'magnets at the bottom of the cape' now that would make the figure look really stupid

haha oops...that would help wouldnt it...https://www.toy-world.com.hk/forum/viewthread.php?tid=8268&extra=page=1&page=2

Maybe he doesn't like getting @$$raped by the ticket prices (considering the price of two is near the cost of what the BlueRay will be). Besides, I think The Dark Knight has earned enough at the box office to secure the franchise forever, don't you?

no, let him break some other franchise records, like that of LORD OF THE RINGS

Ha, looked after your picture, before the sudden cross-eye, this TDK has a new look greatly, after particularly passes through your modified, is attractive many.
How can share you greatly is to add the slip of paper on the shoulder and the thigh, when my TDK obtains I also to want to do this,
The entire only batman imposing manner completely promotes many. …

On 咁 pulls up the shoulder armor to insert the group paper to enter

Big disposition entire method, after the shoes, is the bottom of pants leg absorbs the strip paper to enter, slowly pushes on ok

d low B method, hoped that helps to have need already big ~

After going back to the previous page and looking, here's what I surmised. Adding the paper to the legs beefs them up to be consistent with the body and beneath the shoulder pads pushes them up to shorten the appearance of the neck.

Edit: Personally, I don't really think it's even necessary. The neck looks fine and the legs look on par with the rest of the body.

Wow, this is the kind of craftsmanship you couldn't dream of in 1/6 even just a couple years ago. Way to go, Hot Toys.

Both of these figures kick-ass...one sixth scale ass.
