Your not alone in that thought man. A lot of people feel the same way. I dont think I can say either way. Ive never seen a DX in person but I'd love to have one. I love my medi but I have a feeling Ill probably seel him when TDKR comes out and HT starts banging out those figs. I really wish HT would find a solution to the rubber suit, its so restricting when it comes to articulation. The Medi is not much better but a little from what I see from pics compared to HT's.I still really want an HT Batman, I dunno, anyway, I just took these:

Thanks man! Thats one of my faves too. Im not a photographer so Im a big hit or miss when I take these. I put my best ones in my public profile section

Here's a shot of mine:

Nice shot. Is that a DX belt on him or did you paint it? It looks like the original one may be at his feet.

It's a DX belt, and yes, the original one is at his feet. I just got it out of the box for a couple of pictures then put him back as my display case isn't yet ready, that's why there are so many dvd's behind him as well.
The sculpt on the original belt is awesome, too bad the color is so off. I also added a Ilforigno cape to the figure. Looks much better than the original, poseable cape.
Cheers!

BTW: TheFiend, your pictures look really good! I wish I could take pictures like that!

Are you making a display case? I still need one, so I clean my figs everyday. Literally. I totally agree with you on the belt and cape. The color isnt very good but thats Medicom for you, crap paint. And as I've stated before I have a love/hate relationship with the cape. In one instance its really neat if you want a display with the cape blowing in the wind or something, it gives it character even though its no where near long enough. In the other case the cape doesn't flow like at all. If you have him displayed standing up right the cape takes on this really unnatural shape and is a huge pain in the ass. I thinkI may buy a new cape one day in the future, what did you pay for it? Oh and thanks for the compliment its all the camera really.

Yes, I'm making a display case. Here in Brazil we don't have shops like IKEA that offer products similar to the Detolfs for reasonable prices, so either you buy small and extremely overpriced display cabinets (over $1000 for a 5'5" tall cabinet) or you make your own. OR you buy a simpler one, which albeit overpriced is heaps more affordable than a stock glass cabinet, and modify it to suit your needs (I did this once, I'll post an old picture of how it ended up). My new cabinet did cost me a lot, but it's huge and I was able to get it built to specification, so I'm happy with how it's turning out!

About the cape, yeah, it's possible to achieve quite a lot of poses with it but when you just want your figure to stand still it's a nightmare to get it to look right! So we agree 100% on this one.
My custom cape was done by fellow boardie Ilforigno and it costs about $25 shipped. It's the third cape I order from him and he's a great guy to deal with. (the others were a long cape for my OC Batman and a caope for my SS Ep. IV Vader).

Here's a pic of my old, "custom" display cabinet circa March 2010:
(Note it's nowhere big enough to fit in my collection, so I had to keep swapping the pieces on display):

Re: Medicom Dark Knight Batman - Photo Thread

Wow fiend nice pics man

I also agree about the cape. Really hit or miss. I'm also trying to decide if I should get a HT DX belt. Do you have to mod it to get it to fit or does it snap in at the end perfectly?

Re: Medicom Dark Knight Batman - Photo Thread

A small correction: the belt I used in that picture is from the regular MMS TDK figure, not the DX one.

I believe it does. I bought one off ebay some months ago but never really tried it on the figure. It looks like it's the same size as the regular MMS belt, which I currently have installed in my figure, so it should fit nicely.

Here are some more shots:

ps: sorry for the noisy pictures. I was trying some settings on my wife's camera but wasn't really able to address that.

Very cool pictures, i just picked this one up myself about a month ago after a long search trying to find one at a reasonable price. I love the Figure itself, but why they painted the GRAPPLE GUN the wrong colors was really bizarre to me. The figure itself is really nice though! glad i was able to get it!

It is! His capes are beautiful!

Re: Medicom Dark Knight Batman - Photo Thread

They look pretty awesome. Are they easy to put on the medi?

They are, but you have to remove the original cape which is glued under those bits of armor above his chest.

The display case looks nice man! Its unfortunate you cant get a good deal on a display case, Ikea has one, the famous Detolf most our boardies use, for around $65 buck. Of course i have yet to get one but I will soon. By the way isnt spanish the native tongue in Brazil? I suppose Im showing my ignorance. The only reason I ask is because if it is then I must compliment you on your english. You seem quite fluent.

I know if you go back further in this thread you'll find the answer to your question.... I think. BUT I think that it does. Im pretty sure one of the DX belts snaps together by a magnet.You should read further back in this thread you will learn a lot if you ever want to modify your medi.

Is that the cape you were talking about? Yeah, thats what I need for mine, as much fun as the wired cape can be for specific things I still think a nice flowing cape is the way to go. Cool pics

Yeah Zach,( can I call you Zach?) that is all in this thread. I suggest starting at the beginning and work your way down,man. Its good suggestions,good conversation and an easy read( not that long). This thread is the reason I bought this figure.

Thank you for the compliment, dude. My native language is Portuguese, actually. There are lots of good books written in Portuguese and the language sounds good but it's practically useless considering it isn't spoken by a whole lot of people. Spanish would be better, but those Portuguese bastards had to come and colonize this side of South America.

Yeah, that's the cape I told you about earlier. I didn't really take the time to put it on the figure as nicely as it can be, but you can figure out how it's supposed to look.

Haha, yup. You can call me Zach. I read A LOT of this thread before joining the boards and when I was trying to hunt down this guy. I've seen the MedX mod and the head mods and I have heard about the capes in other threads.

I'm guessing it's pretty simple to install the cape though. Just wondering how to attach it.

Excuse my intromission, again, but you don't really attach the cape per se. There is some space under these bits of armor:

You just tuck the cap beneath them, and it works just fine. The cape sits very well, so you shouldn't worry about it falling down or slipping off.

There's plenty of room for you to insert the ends of the cape there. You'll need pliers or another small instrument to get the job done but it doesn't really require a whole lot of ability.

As you can see, it's where's the cape's actually supposed to be, so you not only get a much better looking cape but you also make your figure look more accurate.
