Modded Dx12 Batman.
This is probably my biggest Rollercoaster feeling on a figure.
One of the biggest pleasure in this collecting hobby is feeling like a kid, rushing home when you check the tracking and find out the figure is waiting on your doorstep.
You run home and open the the box like a gift and do the OOOhhhh....Ahhhhh.....WoWWWWW....YESSSS!!!!
When I opened the DX12 box, I felt like Charlie Brown...I got a Rock...
I ABSOLUTELY hate the faceplates! And I'm not too fond of the cowl.
Part of me wished I should have bought a medicom cause I've always envied the people who owned a Medix.
The only reason I didnt get one cause I knew if Medicom can come up with this cool cowl (although it is modded), surely when Hot Toys release their TDKR figure, it would be better.
But nooooo...The faceplates were ridiculous. I know I'm speaking personally but they look nothing like Bale.
The thing is the cowl is the focal point...although there are major major improvements on this figure over the dx02, I actually favored the overall look of dx02 at that time cause I was gutted by the faceplate and cowl.
Thank god for Robbie's faceplate, and Zach's (MonkeyRobotMaster) cowl, they saved the dx12 for me.
The DX12 still required some modding.
I cut the hands so the glove would go over it, reshaped the shoulder by heating it and sticking it in the freezer, I switched boots and used the Toyfair Batman Begins Boots...big improvement as it reduced the thunder thighs look, I used the EB's batarang as I find the 1/6 one too puny even though its in scale.
I also used satin varnish on MRM's cowl to make it more shiny cause I noticed Batman's cowl had more sheen in TDKR.
And finally, I used Lance's deep black velvet cape.
I went from Hating this figure, to ABOLUTELY Loving it immensely. I dare say its almost as good as Enterbay's Batman. EB is still better...but the modded dx12 is a close second.
As I described on the Cap TFA pics...with all the mods, this figure is magnificent!
This is the DX12 that I was looking for!!!
