Finally got my HT Batman! It arrived at the store a couple of days back but I didn't have time to go pick it up.

Here are some quick pics taken with my iPhone, hence the picture quality. Plus, it was evening here and the sun was setting.....



The place pre-ordered my TDK stuff didn't have any suits so I had to borrow from the HT 2-in-1 Supes/Clark Kent suit. Clark and Bruce are such buddies, I'm sure Clark doesn't mind


Wanted to see how a casual look would be, used a black t-shirt that's from a VERY HOT Navy SEAL CQB set.

More pics and comparison with the TAKARA Batman next.....

wohooo New Jin ROh suit/design from GenXcore...

some custom... pics by LeungR

First off, I must say that this is a fantastic looking figure. The Batman figure is great, the Bale likeness is great.

But I do have a few observations about the figure:

- The TAKARA is slightly taller than the Hot Toys version as seen in the pics below

- Love the new Hot Toys headsculpt. The old one was horrible, that's why I went for TAKARA as it was the best one at that time and the TAKARA Bale sculpt was pretty good for its time. Hot Toys wins hands down this time.

The Batman facesculpt has lines, which adds character to it. The TAKARA one now looks like its as smooth as a baby's bottom

- Someone mentioned he was top heavy. He is, I think I might have to use the stand as the ankles seem to be a little loose. Either that or I don't have them plugged in properly. I didn't realize that his boots were removable, thought they were like the TAKARA ie. foot/ankle sealed inside the boots

- I thought there was an error with my belt because there's a cylinder thinggie just next to the Batarang holders. Because of that, the Batarang can't be held in place properly as the cylinder is in the way. But I just checked the photos and the cylinder IS there in the pics

I think the problem is that the HT Batarangs are a little too big, therefore the cylinder on the utility belt gets in the way. If the Batarangs were slightly smaller like the TAKARA ones, I think there wouldn't be a problem

- Found that the Hot Toys gauntlets are a little loose. Maybe it was intentionally done

- I've always thought that the Hot Toys hands didn't look natural. It seemed that way when I was posing it for some quick shots with the TAKARA. It just didn't seem right. Don't know if anyone remembers the V1 Begins, with the "karate chop action" hand. It was just straight and flat, just didn't look right.

In this case, the fists he comes with just doesn't look as natural as the TAKARA ones

- I think Hot Toys have changed the cape. It's still dual layered (or 1 piece folded and stitched to make it thicker). If I remember correctly, the V1 had some sort of satin/silk lining. I could be wrong though

But as I mentioned, fantastic and I love it. I think its better than the TAKARA version that I have. Here's some pics:

A guy who dresses up like a bat clearly has issues

The owner of the store said that The Joker should arrive next week! Can't wait!

fell free to flame me lol. but i dont really like d WAyne face sculpt on HT..

it doesnt even look like Bale at all

Hmm, no need to flame, everyone's got their own opinions.

I think they did a good job. You must admit that they did a better job than TAKARA this time around

And off-topic - I tried to watch "The Dark Knight" again today (watched it 2x before this) and the tickets are still sold out! WTF!?

yea la.. Takara 1/6 is never meant to focus on face sculpt.. but on proportion, articulation and accesories instead

those Jinroh/ CG girl also got flat face sculpt

IC, TAKARA Batman was the only 1/6th figure by TAKARA that I have. Not really interested in the others. The only other TAKARA I have are Transformers

uh oh news
