2008年12月下旬


PROJECT BM! GUNDAM00 SERIES 刹那・F・セイエイ, 300mm, medicom, 17,640円

I got my figure on Monday and only today I managed to find some time to take some pictures. Sorry for some of the out of focus shots, and the less than ideal lighting. I am using my phone's camera and they have this tendency to focus on the wrong part of the image. It also lacks an optical zoom so close up shots can be a little distorted.

Enjoy,

Now that we are done with the pics, how does it compares to the Takara version?

The first obvious difference is the mass of their bodies. Takara Batman is a great Batman but totally inaccurate to movie as far as body mass is concern. HT got it perfect this time with the correct body proportion.

Second will be the face sculpt. Takara has a great sculpt going on back then but HT totally surpassed Takara this time, the detail of the skin and the paint app makes this the most accurate looking Bale Batman so far. It also photograph extremely well, looking like the real thing in some of the pic.

As for the rubber suit, HT uses a thinner and not as tight fitting type of construction. There are actually gap between the suit and the body. In return, we gain a lot more poseability as the looser suit allows a higher range of movement. However, I have yet to really push the rubber suit to the extreme. Maybe someone else here will take up the challenge.

There are a few stuff I felt Takara still does better, namely the cape and the feet. Yes, the cape of the Takara is actually inferior in terms of material and tailoring but it hangs so well and naturally, and actually feels like there is weight to the cape.

The HT version while superior in material and tailoring, just doesn't hangs as well as the Takara cape. The HT cape is also shorter than the Takara cape. Takara got the length of the cape right and its just weird that HT came out with one that's way shorter than their first effort.

The HT feet are like most 12' feet out there, they need a stand to really hold a pose. Batman can stand straight fine without a stand but a shake of your cabinet or a strong wind and Batman will be freefalling to the ground. More extreme pose can be really tricky to hold without the help of a stand.

The Takara can really hold a pose and doesn't need a stand due to the design of the feet. I wish more company will be using their design, it really helps eliminate the need for a stand, even for the more extreme pose.

Talking about the stand, this new stand by HT is just plain crap. Give me medicom's excellent stand anyday.

I also do not like how the batarang doesn't fit tightly on the utility belt. Same with the grappling gun.

The Bruce head is a great addition, looks exactly like Bale, my only complain is that they went a little heavy on the colour of the skin. A little too tan. Bale is a male Caucasian and his skin tone is more like Jack Sparrow.

All in all, this is a fantastic Batman and despite the few small shortcomings, it's a must if you love TDK.

lol, don't think, just act with instinct.

Watchmen trailer is pure pwnage. I myself have never read the graphic novel, but hopefully I don't get poisoned by the HT figures [if there are any in the first place].

There is Lost Pred, Dutch, the highly anticipated Alien Queen and god knows what HT has in store for us.

Nice review of the new Batman bro.

Btw, what's wrong with the stand? It looks just like all the other stands in the HT MMS series.

And regarding the feet design in the extreme right, IMHO Tak Bats looks plain weird albeit the more fluid articulation.


-Pic quoted from mwctoys

I believe the older MMS series came with stand that goes around the waist. The new ones goes between the legs and as you can see in the pic, only really works well for one type of pose.

As for the feet, Takara feet uses a type of locking revoltechish joint system on the ankle so it can hold poses very well. The boot design is weird but that's just a design issue, the ankle inside is a work of art. If only more 12' uses it.

Yup, it can either grip the waist or the thighs of the figures.

Oh, ic. I can barely notice the tip of the stand in the pic. If possible bro, could you please take a pic of the new stand?

Yup, I concur. I have the Tak Jin Roh & Midori, no issues with poses with those magical feet.

i love d magic ankle.. render display stands useless lol

More pics

As per endless request, here's a pic of the new stand

Nice review and I noticed the tan tone of Bale as well. In fact, on close-up it looks different from the neck!

He must have sunbathe with his batsuit on

In my opinion I still prefer the Batman action figure from Batman Begins. Its much cheaper than the one from the Dark Knight by a lot too.
