A 1:3 Queen Bats Begins is the only DC item I even want at the moment.

Just seen the new sideshow painting video on YouTube, paint application is amazing looking.
One of the best paint apps on the begins sculpt yet but it has the age old flaw most have with the thin neck, not “panther-esque” enough.
I could forgive that tho if the final product paint application is as good as this & you can cover the arms with the wired cape, would help with the pose

Just seen the new sideshow painting bud on YouTube, paint application is amazing looking.
One of the best paint apps Iv seen off the begins sculpt yet but it has the age old flaw most have with the thin neck, not “panther-esque” enough.

I never had an issue with the pose personally, when the piece was lit from below like on the Sideshow con live, he looked great to me

Thanks for the heads up on the paint vid. I save all of those as I think it's a great way to learn potential new techniques for my own custom paint jobs.

I really want to order this as the Begins suit is my favourite. Just worried another company like QS may release their version.

Unfortunately I doubt the retail piece will get that much attention to detail when it comes to painting.

Exactly, I commented that same thing on their video, surprised they haven't deleted my comment lol

Also queen or another high end company are bound to do a begins bale at some point

Yea that's definitely not going to happen with the production paint. Their Mythos Clone Wars General Kenobi took a huge step down from the proto in production paint on the headsculpt

Add some moody lighting and I think he'll look good

this actually turned out looking pretty nice, even the paint work considering my doubt in the post just above the out of the box video I wonder if the matte finish has the rubber feel to it?

I don't know about the feel but it certainly looks the part

Definitely. I just remember there was a Special edition Mattel toy back in the day for Batman Begins that had “premium” paint finish that felt like rubber even though it wasn’t and I just thought it was the coolest thing

Haha yep I guess it makes a difference on smaller figures with articulation, very nice tactile feel. However, if anyone starts feeling my 'statues for adult collectors' they will get a swift smack

Paint looks good, but can't get passed that goofy pose. If you can cover the arms with Cape it could look good

 

[Kameo Kid]

I definitely don’t agree with the “goofy pose” comments. It’s not like he’s doing a handstand. Also, has no one realized that Silver Surfer’s legs are posed with one in front of the other? Batman’s are side by side.

 

[generalszabo]

They nailed the paint, I somewhat get the goofy pose comments but he's also a man dressed like a bat so I don't mind a little exaggerated flexing

lol I’m pretty sure we’d all stick out our chests boldly if we were Batman.
