SSC Batman 1/6 figure

[cerealkeller]

Damn, that picture looks nice..... I'm like at 50% of getting it and nearly tipping over to 51%... the figure definitely looks much better than SSC's first round of pics. He looks much better under darker lighting. This picture is really leaving me teetering on the edge of a purchase...

Get him. If you can afford him, don't think twice. My buddy came over and checked him out. He looked at him and then looked at the HT Batman figures I have and said "I like this more than all of these" Keep in mind I have the Batman DX12, Joker DX 2.0 and Bane (and a bashed Two-Face). SSC Batman is a triumph on all levels. I was happy that the blue is not as bright as pics would have you believe.

How did you un-buckle the belt, there seems to be like a pin in the back of the buckle but i did not want to brake it ?

Anyone else get a really scuffed bat symbol on their suit? This is a photo taken just out of the box, five mins ago! Is this worth contacting Sideshow about?

 

[gr1fter]

Just got mine. I am really impressed!

I'll take some more pics later but for now here is a quick one.

Having more fun with the "Battle Damaged" portrait than I thought I would.. So glad I purchased the EX

I'm using the Battle Damage Cowl with the normal mouth piece and the ring hand, perfect oh ya the eye mod worked great. If you have not done it yet you should.

Mine came off with little force. One side had a peg with a little "lip" at the end and the other has a hole where the peg goes in. It is not glued on. The peg snaps back into the hole easily.

Ok thanks, just did not want to break him.

Here is another angle. It looks like fluff that can be brushed off, but I tried a very tentative brushing with the finger after taking these photos and it made no difference. It is like the fluff is embedded in the rubber. You can see from this photo that it arrived with one of the pouches on the left side of the utility belt opened too, but I expect I should be able to fix that easily enough myself with fabric glue. There is a small hole in the leg of the suit, too, like someone stuck a pin through it, but that is not a major issue.

Could it just be fluff stuck very firmly to the rubber on the symbol? Would there be a way of getting that off without damaging the whole bat symbol, do you think? Or should I just put my hands up in the air and contact Sideshow help? It's very noticeable. The bat symbol is one of the first things you look at.

I just.... I just *gulp*... I just ordered the Superman 1/6 EX figure. I don't know who I am anymore....."That" my friends is how good this Batman figure is.

My quick pic's





I bought the batbike cheap a while ago, but I dont think will display bats with it. Great figure love the cape.

 

[Darklord Dave]

Got him...got to say he is my favorite 1/6 purchase this year! Honestly incredible figure. Have made my review - should be up within the hour...in the meantime.....

I'm kicking myself in the ... for not buying 2 of the Exclusive figures.

More to come guys - the video is about 50% processed right now.

Take Care - Jase

Those plexi stands look to be perfect for spare heads - where'd you get them?

Just got mine today.

Let me say that, in hand, this looks a million times better. Everything feels high quality. All joints are nice and tight. Suit is good quality. Cape is excellent.

The battle damaged face plate sucks though.

Will definately get another one

I received mine today, the box is gouged open, left shoulder busted, floppy waist and legs that don't hold a pose. The box looks like ups kicked a field goal with it. When I called Sideshow, the girl in customer service actually got short with me because I asked how the return process works. I live in Michigan, so another two weeks, at least before I get my replacement. Unbelievable. If it wasn't for us Collectors, there would be no Sideshow.... I have seen the reviews and my figure was nothing like them. I will enjoy everyone's pictures and reviews until my replacement comes.

Man, sorry to hear that. Hopefully everything turns out well

Would a lint roller work? Maybe rub gently with a damp wash cloth. I would email Sideshow a photo and ask their advice before trying anything too risky.

Thanks! I think the figure looks Fantastic! I look forward to my replacement.

Thanks for the advice. I tried touching the spot gently with the sticky side of some tape. I tried the wash cloth too (damp wash cloths have solved my collectible problems before!). Sadly, no dice. From side on the fluffy bits look like lumps. It's like the fluff got in while the rubber or whatever it is was drying.

I'd rather not go through the huge headache of a return application for something like this. I wonder if I could just paint over it (Matt black? Gloss black?), or whether a texta (marker?) would do the trick, or whether I would just ruin it ...

Helpdesk is closed for the night. Damn time difference! I guess I'll leave them a message. I have a 'returns' form all ready to go but, though the symbol is such an important part of the figure and draws the eye, I'd rather just ask them for help rather than file a return for something like that. Hope they can tell me how to fix it.

The Harley Quinns had rubber parts on the suits, didn't they? Anyone have any problem with those?

What you need to do for eye mod ?
