Re: The Dark Knight New Costume PHOTO Thread.
I'm not sure yet either, I guess some better comparison pics will show it more clearly.
Actually, what would've been interesting is if someone had posted pics of their first run Bats and claimed it were the new improved version. I wonder how many would've seen the "difference".

Re: The Dark Knight New Costume PHOTO Thread.
Yeah, I'm sure you guys are right...
I was just wondering why Toy World would even post pics of the 2nd wave if it was the same figure?
Then I noticed the chest seemed to be less "busty" and the abdomen, waist and lower torso also seem slimmer than the first wave bodies so My curiosity got the best of me there...
Time will tell. Someone will post side by side shots soon if they are different and that will be that, but I wouldn't be surprised if HT used a slimmer body for the 2nd wave...

Re: The Dark Knight New Costume PHOTO Thread.
I doubt they used a new body. If they used the slim body it would have been very noticeable.
Like I said before, the problem doesn't lie with the body at all. The rubber is VERY thick in the chest area and in some other places as well, like most of the legs. The chest kind of reminds me of that Captain America drawing by Rob Liefeld from some angles. And the rubber around the waist isn't fit to the body, there is some room in there.
I shoved a folded napkin down the back, which stretched the suit back. Made him a bit thinner than the Begins figure. Problem is the back then sticks out, but it's easily concealed. Didn't leave it like that. It was more of an experiment.

Ah ok, I was wondering when we'd see your pictures, always fun when it's Batman day at pjam's.

That would be every day.
I have the HT BB, waiting on all the rest. I'm doing a Custom Scarecrow and Gordon as well...

That should look cool. I really want Two-Face, I wish he were coming now instead of Joker.

And what was different from the other 1st wave of the Original batman suit? Any improvements?

Re: The Dark Knight New Costume PHOTO Thread.
Who said there was... it was only speculation. One or two said a new skin tone, but it was clearly the flash that was used in the pictures. The other part was they said the cape was softer.
It was never proven. Again speculation.

Re: The Dark Knight New Costume PHOTO Thread.
Any significant change between the first and second wave of TDK suit Bats would be cost prohibitive in terms of changing molds. From a cost perspective, I would be surprised if HT made any significant changes. Either way though, I am ecstatic about my Bats (first wave from Toys2), he looks awesome.

I was the one who said the 2nd batch has lighter skintone and you know what? It does have lighter skintone than the first batch. The skintone of the second batch is closer to the DK costume Batman. Not exactly the same but definitely lighter than the first batch OC Batman.

It's not weird for HT to have different skin tone between batches. It's not like they deliberately change the skin tone. The difference are more likely due to manufacturing tolerance.
I did not compare the 2nd batch OC Bats with my 1st batch OC Bats but the store did have 2nd batch OC Bats displayed for a while with the DK costume Bats and that OC Bats definitely looks lighter next to the DK Bats compared to my OC and DK Bats.
