you mean the left arm can't rise up?

these are the max level i can rise the left arms.



still, no regrets coz i ma MGS fans!

Yours still ok, cause the one I was supposed to get the joints to loose on the left hand to hold any pose basically.

I am a big MGS fan too, bought a PS3 just to play MGS4 but for something that costs RM600++ I just could not accept a defective figure. Now I am only hoping there will be a second run with better QC.

I thought I am dreaming... but apparently all the HT Batman stuffs have been reopen for preorder again at XL...

good news... but very bad news for my wallet already!

I never tried lifting the arm coz i know the rubber suit will restrict the movement. Don't suggest you try the max as the rubber might tear apart or fatigue if stretched for prolong.

What about right arm???

Also what's the maximum coverage you manage for the eye protector? I saw XL picture they can nearly cover the whole eye... I don't dare to use too much force...

Also what's the difference between Batman Original Costume and Darknight costume? I haven't watched the movie yet...

About the raiden problems i am sure it is due to certain batch and luck.

I havent really got time to play with mine cause really busy these days with work.

But here are some pictures to share with you guys about how poseable the raiden really is, from another collector.
So it goes to proves that the articulation on the raiden has indeed improve from medicom, if you know how to adjust the joints properly to the pose you want without damaging it the body suit.

Wow impressive, didn't know we can mount the blades on his feet.

Still I won't dare to make those poses.

if you look properly, the owner actually have too split the suit between the legs part to get the leg to do those kind of poses. But at least his figure left hand can hold a pose as oppose to not ONE but TWO that i opened for inspection. And judging from what I read on other forums, the loose left hand (yes, it's always the left hand) is very common.

Finally got my Joker. Decided to do something about the eyes because people were saying it wasn't "movie accurate". Also, I've seen other people repaint the whole head and it looks better with the black around the eyes.....

Used a M.A.C eyeliner pencil to darken the area around the eyes. Some people said its abit too dark though.

Before and After



You wanna know.....how I got these scars? Hmm...


You complete me, Batsy.....


An unstoppable force and an immovable object.....

I agree with people saying the black parts are too dark...

Thanks bro for the feedback

But I wonder why people keep saying the eyes are too black?

I didn't refer to any pic when I "repainted" it, but that mental image was just stuck in my head. Everytime I think Joker, its the black around the eyes. Maybe its from the "Why So Serious" poster below:



I think that influenced me to go for dark circles around the eyes, but even in the movie, there were scenes that it looks dark to me?

Looks abit unatural. I don't think too dark is a bad thing, just try make the black fade as it goes further away from the eyes.

Right now he looks like a Panda.

Agree with advocado, i think the black part is too neat and make him looks like a panda now (maybe becos of the white face too).
Fade the edge will make it more natural.

Right, I think I know what you guys mean now

Will try it if I have the time

My 2nd attempt at "repainting" the Joker head. Smeared the makeup a little bit to give it that "messy" look.

Fresh out of the box


Attempt # 1 and Attempt # 2
