I really hope they fix the belt buckle and overall scale of the belt. If they slim the body down more the belt will be too big for the body and look DCD style.

Medicom's is the true belt scale.

and i thought nobody will mention about HT belt sculpt!
aggree with u here vodoun.
while the paint color is more accurate, i would say medi's belt sculpt is much more true to scale and accurate. i even prefer medi's paintjob on the belt as it appears more metal-like(tho the color is a bit off).
also if u look closely,HT sculpt has soft edges everywhere which makes it look even more like plastic and no depth to it.

if theres anything i would change in HT DX batman,it would be the belt sculpt!
everything else is looking pretty good.

all this talk about leaving the V1 Bats on the batpod has me thinking i got to get me a batpod, oh well its worth it. and i really hope they keep the longer cape

I think people are going to start selling their Batpods so they can afford DX so they should drop in price once he's available

I love the angry face, looks like he's just got back to the tumbler and found a parking dent, I might have to get a second one of these.

I believe they definately should take a bit more of the whole upper torso and shoulder section out. They've proportioned it down a tad, but angles still make it look massive in comparison to the real suit. It's too bulgy. Perhaps it's not actually the armour only, but a neck that is placed up too high, making the armour look too bulgy. Not to mention the forearm. On the second pic, i lowered the base neck placement, putting it infront of the armour. Looks ten times better to me, makes the armour appear nowhere near as bulgy. Or maybe it's just me
Anyone reckon you could put the HT head on the Medi body? That would be a sick combo!

Definitely looks good when the arms are slimmed down, but if they make the arms smaller without shaving off more from the body, he's still gonna look bulky.

If he has to have smaller arms, the body will have to be reduced or else the small arms will amplify the size of the body.

But if this is the case, are we going to hear about how feminine the body looks (TAKARA GENX CORE Batman - which I also own by the way)?

Here I thought I wasn't going to need to get another HT TDK figure.... I'm going to give the Joker a pass but the Batman..... that's another story.

i can't believe some of u are complaining so much about the dx batman.

the v1 was already great to me, which is why i bought it. but this update is just top-notch work from hot toys. sure, the proportions and details of the suit are not absolutely 100% perfect. but those are details u really have to look HARD to spot.

the light-up sonar eyes, the extra portraits, the sticky bomb gun are all superb, and imo do justify the existence of a DX version. am i a little bummed that there's a newer version with better accessories? yeah. do i think hot toys is being kinda unfair to its loyal customers? well, it all boils down to supply and demand. the fact is, many of us collectors want what ht puts out. i agree that they could've put out the best possible version in the first place. but i also accept that they're in a business. it's not like the first tdk batman was crap. at least to me and many collectors. they just happened to release a version that's even better. it's a little sneaky but not entirely underhanded to me.

i wish i had the extra cash to get this. but i'm still pretty happy with the version i have. those of u who can afford this, just get it if u want it. and enjoy it for what it is: (to date) the best 1/6 version of the dark knight batman collectors can get.

just my 2 cents'.

I don't have the first version, but I'm getting this.
To me the first one is a great figure and certainly not inferior to the Dx Batman unlike the V1 Joker (which I own ) is to the Dx Joker.
I think if you have a Medicom or a Hot Toys Dark Knight , you should be happy. You can always have this too with the Cape Backpack and the Sonar eyes displayed next to it. Plus this has no Bruce Head sculpt. Looks to me like we all win, whatever version we have.

all i can say the thinner the make the arms and everything else u will make everything weaker. Then you will have people saying my arms broke and so on and so forth. Every action has a opposite and equal reaction

I think the underbody is perfect. A valid argument can be made that the chest armor needs to be a bit flatter and that the forearm armor should be narrower towards the wrist. That has nothing to do with the body though and making the body any thinner would be ridiculous.

The comparison pic that shows how thin Batman's arm is from the side isn't accurate as it's assuming it's thinner than it is due to the shadow.

This is based on these two pics:

This is also only from the side, I think the problem with the wrist thickness is more apparent from the front.

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

That has nothing to do with the body though.

I disagree. The problem of bulk on the v1 was greatly improved by sanding down the chest on the base body. The chest armour onthe DX looks relatively slim, (although could be a little flatter), but I feel it would strongly benefit from having a further reduced chest on the body.

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

V1 was a different case than this. That figure was bulky all over due to the body underneath AND the suit itself (the later versions of the V1 had a slimmed down chest which was just the armor not the underbody being slimmed down). In the DX the whole body is plenty slim enough, it's just the sculpt of the chest armor that's too thick, not the body underneath it. That's my opinion anywho. I also think the rest of the torso is too slim, especially at the waist.

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

I too also feel it is not the body underneath but the sculpt of the chest armor. It just needs to be flush to the body

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

I just cannot see how the attached pic could simply be down to the armour alone.

The more I look at it, it almost feel like the placement of the head and neck to a small degree.

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

yea I guess your right. These need to be fixed by the time production rolls around. But another thing I am worried about is that we already have our worries about the body what is gonna happen when production rolls around. I mean lets face it the prototypes are always much better than the production version.

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

Well, I am not saying I am right bud, just personally I feel it is likely an issue of both the fullness of the chest armour and the base body combined.

That is a good point too re: proto-production. Had not thought about that. Hopefully there is something HT can do to push this from an excellent figure to a near perfect one. They have the time to get it right.

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

Bit late to the party (60 pages!) Saying that the thread is only a few days old...

The suit isn't different enough from the V1 for me, so i'm not too pleased about the body. I know it's different but not different enough. It is still too bulky/large imo.

But the best change from the V1 is the headsculpt/cowl. That is bale! Probabaly more so than the Medicom? I think so. The headsculpt and 3 interchangeable mouths are brilliant if you ask me.

And imo, the neutral bale mouth is the best, the open mouth one is a bit wierd. The angry one is fantastic, will look great with the eyes looking up. But for me the best is the plain mouth. It looks amazing.

I'm convinced a kidnapped Christian Bale in Bat suit wouldn't be good enough for some of you.
