Re: Hot Toys - MMS DX 02 - TDK- BATMAN full spec and pics
Funny you should ask. Someone else just asked about that in lforigno's custom cape thread and I re-posted the comparison shots you refer to:
When I first saw pics of the DCD body with the hard abs I was worried about the gut sticking out because the older batches seemed to have such flatter stomachs in all the pics, but like I said, in the end it's just an issue of how you pose the pelvis, not the upper body. In my experience, they ship him with his ass poking out!
I remember someone posted comparison pics of a batman with a "gut" and one with a flat belly... I think it was Maglor, not sure. I'm trying to get that flat look on one of my bats (the other came perfectly flat), but it's dang hard... I feel like I'm going to break the body. How exactly was he futzed?

I think I know what you are asking...
I made a post about this problem in the DX02 thread a while ago, but am not sure if anyone noticed it.
I have seen the belly sticking out on a lot of peoples DX02's and it's a posing issue. Out of the box his belly looks pretty much like this:
You have to work with the hips and pelvis area to get is gut (and butt) positioned correctly. Like this:
Then put on the belt and it will look just like this:
People complain that this figure has limited poseability, but all those points of articulation really do matter when it comes to the finer points!
