Hot Toys - The Dark Knight

[Buttmunch]

No, but the joke "A horse walks into a Bar & the Bartender asks 'Why the Long face?'" came to mind when I first saw those new pictures... Still awesome, awesome looking figures...

Bring on Two-Face!

Yes! I can't wait to see Scarecrow and Two-Face. I wonder if they will go cloth or plastic mask on Scarecrow though Sculpting would insure the right look, but might look cheap at this scale (and price!). Hmmm...

Does anyone think Batman's neck is too long? His head sits very high atop the shoulders, it's not like that in the film.

That's what led me to the theory that the head is typical HT with the cowl material in soft rubber coming off it and the head mounts on the body like any other HT figure with a ball joint. HT's necks are a bit tall depending on the costuming of the figure, so it may show more with Batman.

Finally!! Accurate TDK Joker clothes....

I'm so happy! This is awesome. Now I need to sell the Tak Bats. And when Joker hits, I will have to watch ebay to catch the loose parts to update my customs. And the sculpt? Can't wait to repaint it.

Great tailoring on the Joker, but I'm not sold on the sculpt. I think a repaint of the DC sculpt will look better. It's a face scan after all.

Both ordered without a doubt. The Wayne sculpt is a nice bonus although I have an Andy B coming as well.....not knowing what to do now.....but its a nice problem to have.

I'll be ordering first thing tomorrow.

You know? I kinda agree with you. The hair looks perfect, but the face seems off. I'm hoping it's just the paint... but I don't know. Need better pics to see it better.

No. He would have black make-up (maybe he stole the Joker's?) around his eyes on the unmasked sculpt. They have got to be seperate sculpts.

We just need to combine DCD's scan and Hot Toys hair! Easy fix

Tomorrow? Where?

For those who just tuned in...

That pic showing the Bale head and accessories, what's that thing in the middle pic, on the gauntlet?

I don't remember him using any gear like that? Or is that something from The Dark Knight?

"Hmmm.... where does he get all those wonderful toys?"

Yeah, if you could take the hair off the hot toys sculpt and put it on the DC scan portrait, toss in a repaint and put it on the hot toys body and you'd have the perfect Joker. That'll be the route I end up going probably.

Looks to be a communicator. Maybe a Bat caller. He used one in BB, attached to his shoe I believe.

Or it's something from TDK.

No, no, I get that. What I'm saying is Batman's cowl from the jawline up is a solid head like typical HT, but from the jawline down is a thin piece of rubber that covers the neck joint but is flexible enough to allow articulation with the typical 2 piece HT neck style. I know the Wayne and Bat head will be separate.

Well, I remember he had a phone in BB where he used it to call Alfred after being poisoned by The Scarecrow. On the TAKARA fig, the phone is sculpted on his utility belt.

The thing in his boot was a sonar thing he used to "summon" the bats to make his escape from Arkham when the SWAT and cops were swarming in with Rachel/

This looks like something else entirely, probably from THE DARK KNIGHT as you said.....

It might be that Telescope gizmo he gives to that kid when he is checking out Crane's apartment...

No,. it's not the scope, that was more of a tube shaped thing.

This actually looks like a small square-ish communicator that slides out of his costume, under wrist area. Hmm....

 

[EVILFACE]

Both look awesome.

It seems like it probably is some sort of electronics tool either for breaking in somewhere or perhaps a grapline type device. The two cables coming out of either side are curious.

Where Wookster when you need him so we can get a specs & accessory breakdown...

I'm sure he'll have them soon.
