Does the DX rubber suit allow enough mobility to pull off a pose like that?

With some work, probably. I find that the tightness of the suit and sturdyness of the rubber resist the bast body a bit in legs and arms at the knees and ebows especially. The first TDK was more posable, but, a softer, looser suit too, so there's a trade off, you get a more accurrate look in the DX but less mobile, still achieves fine poses though, it's not completely unposable, just lesser than the v1.

Cool.

Would holding a pose with the knee bent long term cause the rubber to be permanently stretched there you think?

Yes, I wouldn't dare do that long term.

I find it ironic that the new bat suit was supposed to improve Batman's mobility

So which has better mobility OC version the DX?

Re: Hot Toys - MMS DX 02 - TDK- BATMAN full spec and pics

I think the OC and v1 tdk vrs. had more mobility than dx.

Now that is irony.

Second on the Sonor head, the eyes seemed to be much smaller than the proto picks, almost looks as if it was squinting.?

Looking at the proto, it looks like they took the PERS head, removed the PERS and put sonar lenses into the eye sockest, which isn't the way they were on film. In the movie, there are black like sunglass lenses over the sonar part enclosing them, the production figure is more accurrate to the movie.

The figure's black lenses are a bit bigger than on screen, but the design of them is more accurrate than the prototype.

I never really understood how the sonar worked in the movie. It appeared to be digital images that encased his eyes.....there are just some things I will never understand

Re: Hot Toys - MMS DX 02 - TDK- BATMAN full spec and pics

They were retractable lenses that would slide out over the eye sockets and see his surroundings with sonar.

I always thought it was like the solid eye in MGS4. That the images where projected into his eye on little screens in the lenses. Why it glowed.

Interesting, been a while since I saw TDK. Thanks for the clearing up.

I know I'm alone here, but I still think the peers eyes are too big.
Still love the figure, still got him on order, but still...

Don't tell me that's part of the DX Sonar Headsculpt?

If you look at the image I posted, the size of the eyes is about the same as the v1, the difference is, the whites of the PERS eyes on Joker and Batman are much more ivory than Hot Toys' painted eyes which have a more grey look to them, so there's stronger contrast between the whites and the iris.

That doesn't make much sense though. How would they slide out, and since when did he pre think the whole idea of using it? it seemed like a spontaneous idea, and lucius said he would never do it for him again.


And regarding the eye size. I used to think the eyes were too big as well, but now they look fine to me. Plus I think pics don't do them justice at times. It probably looks incredible in person. Am I right?

You are not alone, I am here with you......couldn't help myself. But yes, I do feel that the DX eyes are a bit big, whether it's an optical illusion or not, I even think the eyes on v1 TDK bats were a bit big too. But I think that they just sculpt the eyes open too much. The image of TDK bats in his new custome is his eyes being smaller/more closer eye lids, which could have been real nice if HT could of mimic that.

I might be wrong with this, and please someone correct me of I am, but I believe bats got the idea back when they were in Hong Kong when Lucious showed him the sonar phone device. Later I believe their is a scene when Lucious finds out from that black mailer guy that Bruce Wayne had contracted something out with the military with cell phones? I think he had that in the back of his mind since they had a hard time finding the Joker and left it as a last option knowing Lucious will disapprove of it.
