1/6 Hot Toys Batman & Batmobile - Batman Begins

[Rambler]

Was someone on here selling the head sculpt for this figure? If so, any links to a store?

EDIT: NM I found the other thread with links.

You know what they say, you can’t polish a turd.

Funny how Hot Toys tried to do exactly that with the gloss sheen.

The image of collectors everywhere doing this for 40min, cracks me up.
Though the results look good.

Also he seems pretty sure that out of the box shine will fade on its own anyway.

The shine probably wont fade, it seems to be a satin paint, it will however rub off in spots where its handled and show the charcoal colored rubber below. At some point everyone is most likely going to have to fully remove this paint job to make it look mostly uniform.

Talk about an 'arse about face' release. A scaled down cowl from the 1/4 version on top of the old Toy fairs exclusive suit would have made a very nice looking and improved Begins Bats...
Instead they scale down the horrible shiny suit from the 1/4 version and reuse the awful looking giraffe neck cowl.
Someone at HT should be sacked for letting this pass production, but it's comedy gold

40 minutes? Um...had to take longer than that. The end result looked decent but....dang! That's a lot of work to do on an expensive figure.
I just can't see the "tape method" getting all of the sheen off...and isn't the figure a little gummy or sticky afterwards?

and isn't the figure a little gummy or sticky afterwards?

Not at all

I honestly could live with the shine if they gave us a new cowl and mouthplates. That's the main thing that makes this thing look derpy.

It's not who you are underneath but what you do that defines you.

I’m gonna polish my next copy like I did the new Mando and see if we can take this thing to maximum gloss!

With HT high riding the chrome wave, You know an armored all Chrome Batman is inevitable.

We have 57,364 different Ironmans repaints and not a single Batman repaint.

Didn't think anyone wanted^ a shiny chrome Batman?
SSR Toys N52 Batman is an odd shiny silver - SSR Toys x Overflow Creation SC-010 N52 The Dark Knight (1/6 Comic New 52 Batman)
I like the comic bookish sculpt, just wish it was a dull matte gray.

I think the N52 Justice League suit was supposed to be like this though. This isn’t the first collectible to make it metallic looking.

Batman never read shiny silver to me, That's to bad.
It's not a bad comic look otherwise, just to shiny!

Would prefer...

always hated this look. Funny how every MCU costume looks like this nowadays

I didn’t mod the body at all. I think it looks pretty solid. The shoulders could be rounder and the legs a bit thicker but I’m pretty happy with it.

he was kind of scaring me under my desk lamp.

Does anyone have recommendations on re-gluing the frontal rubber flap that connects the upper torso between the legs? I have the TF MS155 version but posting here since it is more active. I have used Loctite Ultra Liquid Control in the past but checking if something else is better.

 

[tobysdad]

I swapped out bodies too. Just used plain old gel super glue. Holds like a champ.

What body did you use?
