Re: The Dark Knight New Costume PHOTO Thread.

What about the rumor about the chest piece being smaller on the 2nd batch? Can someone verify this one please?
 
Re: The Dark Knight New Costume PHOTO Thread.

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.

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.

How can you say that if you have no proof and comparing two different figs, Original to TDK. Lots of factors can come into this, strong lighting from the store. As for the cape, to some degree it's easy enough to make it look like its softer, but not that much when its nowhere as soft as the Takara.
 
Re: The Dark Knight New Costume PHOTO Thread.

Well i dont see any difference between the 2 waves after seeing those last pics from Toy World,it looks the same,even the belly.
 
Re: The Dark Knight New Costume PHOTO Thread.

My local HT dealer got their latest batch of TDK bats in and I can verify that there is no difference between this latest batch and my first batch TDK Bats. And before someone jump on me for making a simple harmless observation I will point out that I did not have my bats on hand with me to compare but having owned my TDK Bats for more than a month and looking at it everyday next to my laptop (am I am on the net a lot), I think it is not crazy to think that I can tell obvious difference between batches by now.

It's the same with my OC batman. Looking at it everyday for months it's just not too crazy to think that I can tell the difference in skin tone in the new batch eventhough I did not have my OC bats on hand to compare.

Like I mentioned back then, my room light is a single fluorescent source and the office where I saw the OC bats also has a single fluorescent source. Both of these fluorescent are the daylight variety so it's also fair to say that lighting condition for my room and the office is pretty similar.
 
Re: The Dark Knight New Costume PHOTO Thread.

thank you.
The only bits that look big are side angel shots of the torso....other than that its perfect
 
Re: The Dark Knight New Costume PHOTO Thread.

i dont see any differences at all, except possibly that ^ but you can do that to the original by popping hte chest in, so who knows. i dont think HT would make changes on such a mass production thing, and THEN, not let people know about it, officially anyway
 
Re: The Dark Knight New Costume PHOTO Thread.

yeah i dont think it matters, the first batch looks so sweet anyways, if the second batch came with sonar lenses then i would be pissed but the difference is unnoticeable

No one is jumping on you Mate,just discussing the possibilites because changing the tone on the second wave OC is most unlikely,i dont see the point why HT would do that.
Remember,a new rubber figure looks better than a figure that has been displayed a while and dust starting to attach the rubber,makes the black tone fade a little if you know what i mean.
 
Re: The Dark Knight New Costume PHOTO Thread.

Only one for now... might do some tonight if I have time.

 
Re: The Dark Knight New Costume PHOTO Thread.

You should either make or get something like this foam to put over the metal wires/rods.

Of course it would have to be much smaller, but you should get the idea.

Are those styrofoam? Being a mask collector one thing I've been told on multiple occasions is don't display latex masks on styrofoam heads as the styrofoam eventually rots the latex. I'm not sure what the HT Batsuits are made of but I do know they are a type of rubber so I'd be carefull putting anything made of styrofoam on them.
 
Re: The Dark Knight New Costume PHOTO Thread.

did anyone get an answer from HT anyway about the Slimmer TDK version?I know its not different,just curious what HT said because they didnt answer my email and if this wasnt true wouldnt you think they would at least responded saying that this is not true?
 
Re: The Dark Knight New Costume PHOTO Thread.

i also emailed them about 2 + weeks ago....and havent gotten a reply yet, mostly just want there word on it.
 
Re: The Dark Knight New Costume PHOTO Thread.

Apparently, someone here said that HT denied any changes on the figure on the phone.

I checked out the latest batch of DK bats at my local dealer and it looks exactly the same. Even the supposed different colour of the chest armour is the same as my first batch TDK.
 
Re: The Dark Knight New Costume PHOTO Thread.

This is indeed good news, its annoying peeps going on about the belly, when members have already said with minute of playing you can remove it.

It's really hard to tell, it could be just an illusion of the paint job, because the shiny parts made it look chunky to other people.

I honestly can't tell if it is or isn't. It actually looks the same to me.

Can those with the one late September, early/mid October tell any difference?

I have noticed this is an angle thing, but I want to make it clear in case the bandwagon starts again. I am not criticizing it, and very happy with this. I will not be modding it, never had any intention to either. Only a simple question. :)
