Visited XL-Shop today, Uncle Loong getting ready the Batpod to display at MV. So cool man!!!. I skipped the Batpod because to me it's a seriously overpriced piece of plastic with two rubber wheels but the workmanship is indeed excellent.
The painting looks a lot more realistic than the prototype, very metal look, the weathering is really cool, dirt marks on both wheels, dirt marks on the pedals, etc, the feels solid, quite light, and DK Bats looks so cool on it!!! It's like the whole figure and the big is alive.
The wired cape really makes the cape flows and float like Batman riding the Batpod at high speed.
Overall, it's really well made and a great addition to the HT DK line but I still have trouble justifying the price. If it was around the RM500++ mark I would have bought it in a heartbeat. But at RM800++, I could almost get two HT figures and at the end of the day, I think my Detolf will benefit more with a few extra figures rather than the Batpod taking up a whole section.
ps- Also found out that Two Face will be out by next week before Christmas. Two Face is one of my most anticipated (even more than BR Joker) and I am glad he can make it for Christmas. Really wondering how well the actual product will hold up cause the prototype looks fantastic!!!, So realistic. Easily HT best human sculpt to date.
thanx for the update mate...watch TDK on blu ray yesterday now can see the batpod's detailness...
