karamazov80 Posted January 1, 2012 Author Share Posted January 1, 2012 Well, that cop's suit is tailored to fit on a narrow shouldered TrueType, so there's a chance that the one you have won't work. If not, this is the one you need: http://www.sideshowtoy.com/?page_id=4489&sku=901371&__utma=85222214.28254863.1321060690.1325393432.1325393438.30&__utmb=85222214.1.10.1325393438&__utmc=85222214&__utmx=-&__utmz=85222214.1325297913.28.15.utmcsr=bronto|utmccn=TM_123011_HotToys|utmcmd=email|utmctr=Image%20-%20Click%20Here%20to%20buy%20the%20War%20Machine%20Special%20Edition%20Sixth%20Scale%20Figure!|utmcct=Image%20-%20Click%20Here%20to%20buy%20the%20War%20Machine%20Special%20Edition%20Sixth%20Scale%20Figure!&__utmv=-&__utmk=236496712 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

karamazov80 Posted January 2, 2012 Author Share Posted January 2, 2012 Batman that has the bat glider cape? What is this that you speak of? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hawkeye's Junk Posted January 2, 2012 Share Posted January 2, 2012 lol, I probably named it the wrong thing.... Its this one. I couldnt think of what to call it cause he has that parachute belts or whatever they are. I just wanted to know if anyone had this one and the Dark Knight and which one they preferred.

karamazov80 Posted January 2, 2012 Author Share Posted January 2, 2012 Well, there were actually 2 Hot Toys Dark Knight Batmen (the first MMS release: http://www.mwctoys.com/REVIEW_102708b.htm and a DX release with fancier features: http://www.mwctoys.com/REVIEW_030310b.htm ). The first release was lacking in some ways, as the proportions were a bit off and the head sculpt wasn't perfect. The DX looks fantastic and has lots of nifty display options, but has limited articulation and, if you picked up an early release, abs that leaked oil and damaged the rubber suit. The one you are linking is a pseudo-re-release. The original was great: http://www.mwctoys.com/REVIEW_082508a.htm , and the new version is also great: http://www.mwctoys.com/REVIEW_092111b.htm . However, there are pros and cons to each, as the older figure only had one mouth for Bats and a more primitive Wayne sculpt, while the newer version was rife with quality control issues, primarily loose/broken ankle joints and a cheaper rubber suit. I personally like the original, "Begins" suit Batmen (both of them) more, because I like the design better. But as far as figures go, I don't think any of these trumps the others, as each has its pros and cons. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hawkeye's Junk Posted January 2, 2012 Share Posted January 2, 2012 (edited) Thanks for the info K-80. I always look to guys when I start researching Hot Toys figures. I wish I was on it a few years ago. I would have some nice stuff for cheaper! I picked up the psuedo re release and havent opened it yet. Looks like I need to make sure everything is good to go. I was comtemplating getting the Dark Knight one too. I just need to get the Ledger Joker. I keep looking for a good deal.

karamazov80 Posted January 2, 2012 Author Share Posted January 2, 2012 I would say that there is a 98% chance Hot Toys re-releases the Dark Knight suit Batman for the new movie, by the way. And they have shown off a display saying that a Ledger DX 2.0 is coming out. So, you should be able to get in on the ground floor with those if you exercise some patience. And they will no doubt be impressive in ways that the earlier releases weren't (just cross fingers regarding QC). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shanester Posted January 5, 2012 Share Posted January 5, 2012 I love the Hugo sculpt on Red Skull. HT is talking about a lot of re-dos. It has caused some controversy, but the only losers are the speculators and folks who paid inflated aftermarket prices, while the winners are the collectors in general.

handsomedevil Posted January 6, 2012 Share Posted January 6, 2012 And they have shown off a display saying that a Ledger DX 2.0 is coming out. WHAAAAAAT??? I hope to hell they improve the strength of the PERS system. It should NOT break after 3 moves! Red Skull! Yes, please! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karamazov80 Posted January 6, 2012 Author Share Posted January 6, 2012 Here it is: The PERS device itself has come a long way. But yeah, even my DX-01 PERS broke. I'm gonna try to sell the damn thing soon, before the price plummets Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shanester Posted January 6, 2012 Share Posted January 6, 2012 I'm gonna try to sell the damn thing soon, before the price plummets Better hurry! It doesn't take long. Look at P1 Predators. Not exactly the same situation, but similar. That was practically overnight once the Classic Pred photos came out... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luke314pi Posted January 8, 2012 Share Posted January 8, 2012 My DX Batman took a tumble and broke both ankles (damn kids). Not just the peg, but the plastic on the shins and the feet. I superglued everything together, but now he REALLY can't move. I don't normally use stands, but I put him on his stand and wrapped his cape around him so you can't see it. It looks like replacing his legs would be a monumental pain in the ass. I wouldn't even know where to begin. I might just hold out hope for a TDKR Batman...

karamazov80 Posted January 8, 2012 Author Share Posted January 8, 2012 (edited) Ooh. Rough one Luke. If you could somehow pull the rubber up high enough, the shins can be pulled out from the knee pegs with some force (the knee pegs are also simply pegged into the thighs). And the shins seem to be a pretty standard size for the narrow shouldered True Types. Here's a pic I found that shows you what the peg looks like: Word of warning though--those knee joints are fragile as hell. I just broke one a couple days ago, and have broke 3 or 4 overall without doing too much to cause it.

Garrison Posted January 10, 2012 Share Posted January 10, 2012 Red Skull fully revealed: Oh yes, he will be mine. I would really like to get this, as well as the Captain America Hot Toys figure as I loved the movie (I did manage to get all of the movie minimates though). However I currently have the '89 Nicholson Joker and Keaton Batman on order and can't afford these two as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From platoon Chris Taylor on, the joints are stronger. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
