The BATMAN

[Darklord Dave]

Where can we get that figure - perfect for a Reign of Fire custom!

Or a Batman Begins Legion of Shadows Training kitbash

You can order one at Toy Square or find it on ebay, it is the Hot Toys PMC, make sure you get the right one, jointless body looks amazing.

Well, this seals the deal for me...

Got my Takara Bats pre-ordered.

Seals the deal for me, too, but the otherway. Sideshow must have spoiled me because that sculpt doesn't do much for me. Time for me to jump off the fence and land in the Hot Toys yard...

Yeah, I'm staying with HT too, something about the Tak cut neck joint doesn't cut it with me but it is definitely a beautiful piece and includes the extra Bale head and training harness, all in all $150 is a great price.

But for me, the Tak body is too slender and the Bale sculpt is not very strong. The HT body is totally bad ass, mask amazing and the weaponry and belt are exceptional.

For those on the fence I recommend getting both!

Actually, THIS is the only one I'd pay that much money for (Medicom, Hot toys et al)

Looks good but he has no neck...

 

[Batty]

It looks good, but it must be cold outside.

Indeed, Shrinkage!

Well it *is* a pre-codpiece Movie Batman.

I think Batty's referring to Batman's "headlights" !

Right!

Nice sculpt.

But the suit and mask sculpt on the HT seals the deal for me.

Agreed!

Interesting idea, the cowl-less Bale sculpt, but how often am I going to display him like that? Not very, if at all. Probably end up with a head and harness in the box or in a drawer. HT still looks much much better to me.

And that custom in that link is pretty awesome. Though I can't help but think about Joel Schumacher's batman for some reason.....

 

[Murderofcrows71]

I did one like that a while back as well, would like to resculpt the head now that I've had more practice. I have the Hot Toys Begins fig ordered as well. I had the Takara ordered but cancelled. The neck joint seperate from the cowl just takes away from the figure too much.

Just found out about these figures and so I had to resurrect this thread.

I preordered the HT one but does anyone know if the arms and legs will be of the Rambo type without as much mobility?

 

[Gruff Old Bear]

Dunno about that, but thanks for resurrecting the thread all the same. I hadn't read about BBTS's pre-sales of the Takara Bats, and hadn't seen the Bale sculpt. That's my display. Unmasked. Ordered!

Also, never heard of Toy Square before. THANKS guys!

We're here for you Gruff, and everyone else. I have both HT BB and SR on order @ Toy Square (with discount coupon). Once they are out I think anyone who pre-ordered them will be very happy they did, with only 800 for each, they will be going up for sure. And once they're sold out, Evil Bay.

First:
I went the Toy Square route myself. Thanks for pointing me in their direction! (Notice he's selling Robocop and Ed directly from Hong Kong with the early release dates?)

And secondly:
There's a discount coupon??

I got one, I think for for first timers they might give you a coupon code if you are a member (simply sign up and request via email). That's what I did, the discount is small (10% if I remember correctly) but I was ordering 2 figs so it made sense. They have Takara also for 149 so if you are placing multiple orders I highly recommend taking advantage of it.

Btw, Tak BB back up on BBTS for 140

Thanks for the info! Alas, I think I did everything right except sign up for the newsletter...
