Great review, so stoked to receive mine, hopefully sideshow is shipping in the next month or so

Nice comparison shot. I love the height and proportions of the new version, but that brownish carbon fiber color is a nuisance to me. Looks aged.

The figure is definitely in the right direction with improved shoulder and neck but cowl still needs work

I know OT’s is the better cowl (left), but side by side, the HT doesn’t appear to be that far off. Of course, HT should’ve gotten it better by now. I wonder if a change in the mouthplate would help the HT cowl

I don’t think the mouth plate is the real problem - it’s the bulbous nose, hard lines and eyes are little too big

I agree, and again, not excusing HT at all. I just don’t think it’s as off (to me) as I initially thought it was now looking at them side by side, same lighting and same angle.

Same I thought it looked pretty good in Deans review but then again the margins are very small in this scale and at the level
Of accuracy we are now expecting by comparing it to some of the best custom 1/6 work that has ever been done

Also re: the bulbous nose - in some scenes / shots Bale’s cowl’s nose area did in fact appear inflated like that - but I’m not a fan of how that looks at all. Makes him appear goofy. It’s almost as If the cowl is pulled down too far over his nose in those moments / scenes making the nose and even cheekbone area expand in a not so aesthetic way, if you get what I mean - Ht seems to have captured that look pretty well.

The way OT has captured him is him in the best looking moments of the cowl and 100% the way I want my figure to appear

the hot toys mouthplate angle looks a little off compared to oaty's mouth plate

I like the eyes more on the Oaty sculpt as well. The two sculpts look great though. Side by side you have to look closely for the differences. HT finally made a proper Bale Batman sculpt. If they refine it a bit, they’ll have a home run.
