Re: Hot Toys - MMS DX 02 - TDK- BATMAN full spec and pics
... I received my DX02 last week. It is a beautiful figure.
That said, I can not help wondering about the process of research and development of Hot Toys. It's true: they are capable of the best and the worst. Why do they make the necks of giraffe coming to ruin everything?
I am talking about figures that I know... So the list is certainly not exhaustive:
- Dutch
- IM3BD
- DX02
- T800 Arnie
To be accurate, on the DX02, I had to reduce the height of the neck of 6 mm.
It cost me nothing (no mod V1): I just shortened the stem of the ball in the body where the neck snaps. A small metal bar of 2 mm diameter stiffens the attachment of the patella on its stem. I also saw the introduction of metal plate in his head. Misfolded, it prevented the proper installation of the head on the neck.
Which means that not only the two heads (normal vision and radar vision) are perfectly placed, but more, holding and articulation are always effective. I made this change on Dutch and IM3DB and likeness is realy better.
That is, if it can be useful to someone...

got this in yesterday! AWESOME figure, easily my favorite when it comes to pure detail. Love the box and accesoires, love Iforigno's cape as well!
Don't really like the length of the neck, but I can live with it.
wish I had a better camera..

GOHASTINGS has them in stock at 180. Worth the time to keep checking in case they drop to 134 again.

Just went and found some new materials at the fabric store, going to try to cut some capes that will lay flush on the ground, like lforigno's square pattern capes do. Will post pics of both materials when I'm done.
Just FYI: in no way, shape or form are my capes ever going to be available for commissions. If you like them, great. I made some new ones a little while back, people responded with interest, I went and got a few yards of material and made about 10 capes, then everyone who was asking me about them disappeared after I made them available. Just posting this ahead of time because every time someone posts their custom stuff people always ask if it's for sale.

Only took pictures of one material, as I'm not happy with the other. Seemed fine in-store, but it's a little too rigid for my liking. Anyway, here's my latest effort.

I have been wanting to ask that question for a long time too. It seems so stupid!
Love the mod you did. I'll consider that before I go ahead with the V1 mod.
I do like the even thickness of the V1 neck though. Plus I worry that your mod would limit the already limited articulation of the neck joint, because you are lowering the ball.
Nice work though!

The texture makes me think of the stock cape. Polyester.
