This rehash does have some small improvements. To me, the bicep armor shape and position have both been improved. Likewise the new collar/chest piece final gives him some traps instead of the coat hanger look of past versions. The "upgraded" shoulder pads and gauntlet/hands are a lateral move to me, at best. And the cowl and mouth plates are changed, but aren't really better, just different. I guess, if I can find some bits and pieces to mod my DX19 with, I will. But otherwise, I'll sit this one out. My current DX with OT Customs bits is still a stronger likeness to me.
 
Looks a little better in SS video, but still…

I think this new HT body will remain on par with whatever InArt does. InArt (currently) have something of a leg up since they aren't planning on the armory, which a decent amount of ppl seem to not be too interested in. Though, given InArt's rising prices, the Batman figure alone will probably almost cost as much as these armory sets, especially given the complexity of the suit. I'd be weary of InArt's QC with the TDK suit. The headsulpt(s) is where the real debate will be and will make or break their offering. Pretty confident they will manage it. It would be nice if they used the same sculptors of the 1:1 QS statue as that's pretty perfect, but it would seem InArt and Queen don't cross and only just really share licenses.

I'm tempted by this armory for the presence and display. The real thing is so cool in person and made me think to myself "I want one of those." It's a space eater though and I already have larger collectibles that are eating into my space as it is :slap

Yea, I don't think you need this with how nice your custom DX19 is with the OT parts. Your custom is pretty bang on.

Yea, better but not still not great. At least the head and body look a bit more in proportion to each other.
 
Sadly my updated OT cowl with his custom eyes and mouth plate took a fall last week. So if anyone is selling their’s let me know.

On a side note I’m also bothered by how the hands look in this new release with the new gauntlets. They look a little too tiny at the wrist.

Was looking forward to this for so damn long. After thinking about it for a day, I'm going to pass on it and sell my spot at Secret Base. The armory looks really cool with shelf presence and all. But the Batman... need to drop another $350 for an OT, try to nab a Jaxon cape, there's just too much upgrades needed and extra money to throw at it. Essentially tallying this whole set up to $1K.

A Jaxon mouthplate will make it better, but the shape of the mouthpiece is not right. It needs to be slightly wider. All the HT DK's have this narrow square shape mouth piece when it should be wider. It'll always look off even with a mouth piece upgrade.

I'll just wait for the eventual InArt. That 1/12 scale looks amazing and if they replicate that into 1/6th that'll be the winner. Both Batman and Bruce Wayne sculpt.

The worst part about these armories is you know goddamned well that they had planned obsolescence in mind when they made them. Every time I look at that Batman head, it reminds me of the DX12. And I feel like that’s what they’re doing, but in reverse. Pumping out these expensive armories only to follow them up with a solo Batman with all the faceplates, accessories, etc…and yet another Wayne head in a year or two. Then they’ll do the same **** all over again for the 20th anniversary in 3 years…
I was contemplating getting the TDK armory 2.0 but your comment speaks truth making me further not proceeding with it
