Is he actually selling it?

Yes he is - but it may take a few months till it goes up for sale, he's making further improvements to it

 

[OMG]

Re: HT Batman Begins - Batman/Wayne TF Ex. SSC PREORDERS in AUGUST (or later)

OMG, that's what I'm talking about. You should really just create a separate thread (or threads) for your pics in the Art Show section. They are more than worthy of standing alone for people to admire.

Thanks everyone, I didn't know there's an Artshow section here. May be I should make a thread there but I afraid my photobucket can't withstand the heavy traffic.

This OC is nice but not worth 400, wait for the SS PO everyone! More pics coming!

Re: HT Batman Begins - Batman/Wayne TF Ex. SSC PREORDERS in AUGUST (or later)

AWESOME pictures as always man!!

Just a question that concerns me.OMG:

I know that the Batsuits restricts the joints but...

Are the joints tight and harder like the old TT..or loose as the latest TT?? (speacially the hip joints)

What I'm seeing is that the shoulders can't move forward properly cause the batsuit, and that TT may not have that kind of racheted and harder joints (like Batman DX shoulder joints ).to make it easier the forward movement for the shoulder joints..Right??

Shoulder and hip joint are not too loose, I just afraid any extreme pose will break the suit.

Thanks man

Those words definitely helped me out to pass from this figure .. If the joints are loose and fragile then, HT have'nt learned anything in 2 years

Having the OC, which suit fits much better and has harder joints... then This new version does'nt deserve the money (Just a better bale sculpt, but I still prefer the OC cowl sculpt and face by far )

Thanks again Bro!

He said the joints are not loose.


It's the suit that's limiting articulation.

Not sure but not planning on getting it from a UK seller anyway - unles OSB gets some at reasonable prices, i'm gonna either import from sideshow or some other US retailer

Damn! I had read : "Joints are too loose".. ...

Anyways.. I'll pass. Love the new Bale's HS but I still preffer the the OC Cowl HS and the suit seems to fits better.. and less chubby

.It's the suit that's limiting articulation

Yes the suit limits the articulation, but if he had loose joints, then it would be much worse :/

BTW.. I stiffed the joints on my Batman DX weeks ago.. and Man! He can achieve and keep more extreme poses than I could'nt imagine (specailly hip and knee joints)

Superglue trick

You're looking at about £10 fedex charge, plus VAT (20%) plus possibly duty. Not cheap, but probably better than buying from ebay scalpers

Should give you a idea of what charges to expect along with the £10 fedex fee.

Good shots OMG.

Can you tell what body they are using on the new Batman? It hold poses way better than the OC body.

here you go:

HT use the old black TT on this Batman, even with the new sculpted neck, Bruce can't look down and legs can't move backward.

Like i said, fedex charge, plus VAT, plus duty (maybe about 5%, not sure). It sucks, but at least you have sideshow's excellent customer service and very fast delivery.

BTW i'm pretty sure that neautral batman face is actually a new sculpt - it's not the same neautral face as the OC Batman from the pics I have seen

Yep, I noticed this too. While they are similar, this new neutral one looks a bit wonky. The original OC had a noticeable gap between his mouth and nose, but this one is even larger. Reminds me of Bruce Willis and the length between his upper lip and nose.

So chalk that up as a significant difference along with the mangler to make the OC, well, original. The cape and suit also look considerably different.

I don't know if it's intentional but the pics I've seen make the suit look used, sort of how it was in TDK. You know beat up. The OC is much more pristine and it's three years old.

(I'm also one of the guys that thought there OC was deteriorating because of the matte, grayish black finish instead of the glossy dark black)
