IMO if you take "defects" off from the HS then the HS looks too "perfect" to be accurate.. That is exactly the problem with the new HT Bruce Wayne's head, the head looks like a mixture between Christian Bale and Ken from barbie.

Eccentric much? :rolleyes:

:dunno I mean the head looks like Christian Bale, but it is like a "better looking" version of Christian Bale, I guess that happened because they took away all the defects of C. Bale which make him finally a human like any other.

Because Christian Bale was not human prior to this Hot Toys sculpt. :lecture:lecture:lecture:exactly::goodpost:

of course not! did you see him in The Machinist?

no human could be that skinny and still move without breaking.

my theory...he's and ALIEN!!!:panic:

and this HT Bale sculpt is all we have to conserve him as the human we perceived him as in the Nolan movies

That is not what I was trying to say :rotfl ... I meant Christian Bale has little imperfections in the face just like any other human, and if you take them off you are loosing the human likeness. Don't take me wrong I love the HS but it could be more accurate by just adding the little "defects" which every human has including Bale.

Ah, so this sculpt makes him look like an alien from the Mos Eisley Cantina. :lecture:lecture:lecture:exactly:

Although I don't see "Ken" this is exactly how I feel about most of Hot Toys portraits. They seem to take a characters face and smooth out all the imperfections and even out any asymmetries. Unfortunately that takes away much of what makes a person immediately recognizable. Here is where I think Adam's custom BW head excels. He has actually enhanced some of the imperfections/asymmetries the way a caricature artist would, but obviously to a lesser degree.

At a very brief glance you can recognize who that is. And a big part of the reason is the crooked chin. [Sorry for the bad lighting in the above picture. I wish I could take shots like the one below.]



Although I love the new HT BW sculpt and can't wait to stick it on my First Night Out Takara, I would argue you have to search a little bit more to see Christian Bale there.

Incidentally, I had someone tell me that my Bruce Wayne figure was their favorite in my collection. It's just a generic suit so all the credit for that goes to Adam. :duff

By intent or required by licensor/actor, HT does idealize portraits. I love the Barney sculpt but the nose is perfect and not all misshapen like Stallone's.

A neglected and abused female teenager? Yep, that about sums up Maglor.





Nice sig by the way. Better than the last D REAM one. Inception still sucks though. :nana:

That Devil_666 lad is full of surprises.
 
Re: Hot Toys - MMS DX 02 - TDK- BATMAN full spec and pics

I have to admit, Adam's sculpt is retarded nice! Very well done imo. Still HT's attempt is just as good. Nothing beats "in person" to appreciate detail and accuracy.
 
Re: Hot Toys - MMS DX 02 - TDK- BATMAN full spec and pics

Most of you guys have not even seen the new Wayne HS in person so stop this BS until you really see it, it is much more impressive in person. You guys come off as if these figures suck but people still pay $500 for them!:lol
 
Re: Hot Toys - MMS DX 02 - TDK- BATMAN full spec and pics

Cleanup operation complete

There are threads in the custom section to discuss the Adam head or other customs

And Yakee & Fabio - you guys need to relax
