Hot Toys Batman DX teaser pic...AT LAST!!!

The nose still looks awfully long. Hopefully it's just the angle.

Is this all of them so far? I just wanted to see the pics in one place.

 

[wofford29]

That's all the ones I've seen.

Looks much improved to me actually? We'll have to wait and see...

Based on those two photos the new figure's suit is looking better to me, as I mentioned before, mostly the chest but the trunk also looks better. The bat symbol looks almost exactly the same though.

The body so far is looking like it's fixing a problem Hot Toys has had for awhile that's hard to explain. You can really see what I mean if you compare a silhouette of the P2 and P1 Predators. The original Dark Knight figure has a similar problem. The older figures have all sorts of unnatural breaks in the body form where as the new one is much less broken up and more natural.

Great piece of analytical photo work, based on that, def looks like they improved the armour some. But still, in the absence of a more mesh like inner suit and fixed torso profile, medi will remain more accurate.

I'm personally hoping for a new Bruce Wayne head with PERS

The chest on the Medicom sticks out way too much for my tastes and the legs are too ill-defined shape wise. It's better than the original Hot Toys but they both have problems I can't overlook. I'm hoping this new one satisfies my needs.

Please let this figure look like Bale!

Really looking forward to a pic with cape attached, they REALLY need to improve the cape and the way it attaches. If they use those pegs again, i'd blow a casket.

This pic:

Is deceiving because it gives the impression that the suit is bulkier than it actually is. Here's a lightened/enlarged photo + lines where the actual suit dimensions are:

You can see it's pretty slim. Also here's a lightened/enlarged version of the pic that appears above it:

Excellent work devil, you're right, I didn't notice that gap between his arms and his torso, it is indeed much slimmer than the V1. Excellent. Now, here's to hoping the inner suit material is more meshy, the cape is accurate and sits well, and the torso shape is more medi like and hence more accurate (this one is most unlikely from the current pics at least).

 

[dedguy]

The shoulders also appear narrower from front to back.

Looks like another rubber suit to me...i doubt i will bite on this one but, the DX Joker hell yes!.

Notice anything odd where the curve ends on the arm of the shoulder? Or rather is now too long. The carbon kevlar plate should be tucked under. I know, I know it's a work in progress.

I wish they would add the carbon kevlar weave to the abs/ribs/arms/side of the legs/knees rather than this silvery form of paint. So the chest matches everything.

There's no telling with Hot Toys, but I'm assuming they're using this body under the suit this time.

For a second there I saw Christopher Lambert's eyes in that sculpt. Reminds me of the part in modern time with his short hair in The Highlander.

 

[Devil_666]

gdb: I doubt it. You can see why in General Collectibles: the slim TT body is REALLY short compared to both the narrow and regular TT body.

Vodoun: You can see in the original teaser pic the kevlar plate appears to be tucked correctly.

So based off that new pic with the rooftop back drop, maybe that whole assembly is adjustable!? The v.1 wasn't, correct?

 

[vodoun]

Yeah, it was fixed. Could be interesting.

 

[gdb]

Is it? Well, legs are swappable.

Doesn't look that short to me, in any event Bale ain't a giant.
