This thread is so quiet now, with armory bats around. How about a bunch of pics of the different HS and mouthpieces with pros and cons (according to yours truly) and whatnot, for farts and giggles. Plus, I haven't posted here in ages. Here weee go...
HS: Medicom NO PERS
PROS: Most accurate looking cowl available, IMO. If you can find the right painter to repaint this sucker. Which brings us to...
CONS: Out of the box, the paint is flat, the head is squished, and the sculpt is just too smooth.
Mouthpiece: Default.
(Excuse the quality. Old pics, old camera)
HS: Custom medi bats by MRM. NO PERS
PROS: If you don't like the default HT sculpt, this is a popular second choice. Looks almost as good as a modified Medi head, the overall shape is very different from HT's, could look better or worse, from different angle and lighting conditions.
CONS: the shape does look weird, from the front. Up close, default paint up is rough. Up close, the sculpt has a very rough, sand paper-like texture.
Mouthpiece: eBay. Good sculpt (based on HT's Bruce), good paint, no complaint.
Mouth piece: Kai studio.
PROS: Based on the medi mouth sculpt, it is, by itself a very good sculpt. Nice and clean paint app.
CONS: The sculpt is oversized. Looks somewhat fine here, but the chin is way too big, it actually sticks out the bottom of the HT sculpt.
NO PERS DX12
PROS: Like the HT sculpt, but hate PERS? You can frankenstein this bad boy by taking the PERS sculpt out (hollow out the cowl), and replace it with whatever eyes sculpt you have lying around, I'm sure they'll all look as good (carved my HT BW). This has that extreme scowl/squint look, everyone loves so much.
CONS: It's actually a lot of work to get this done, my advice is to NOT DO THIS MOD!
Mouthpiece: robbiethepainter's.
PROS: good sculpt, good paint.
CONS: Chin is a bit big, too square jawed.
DX12 painted eyelids.
PROS: Easy mod, paint them eyelids black. 100% improvement.
CONS: Doesn't change the fact that it's still wide eyed.
Best of the bunch (I think)
Batman Armory HS. Just buy this one and forget all the other custom nonsense.
