Unfortunately though he didn't show us the googly crossed eyes?

Oh great his figure did not have google cross eyes, guess it does not have them then, great news. THANKS

I got the medicom sculpt, so its ok for me personally.



wow, they cheapen out on the lighting as well. Plus the paint job on the final product looks really ****ty compared to the proto. HT used to have better or similar paint for their proto and final product.

Seems like they are going the same direction as McFarlane toys.

the price they're paying for rushing out so many figures at one time I believe. Looks like Batman was an unfortunate victim but probably not the last.

To be fair, OMG did say himself that his figure has cross eyes

For $220, I'd much rather purchase another figure than another Batman. I still have the DX02, which I'm now VERY happy with still. And for those who this Batman is their first purchase, I can understand the glee. But again, for myself, who already bought the previous incarnations of Batman from Hot Toys, this figure doesn't warrant another $300

I've had every batman except for MMS71 (TDK Suit Batman) and still think this is the better one. of course, I'm not trying to sway you-or anyone for that matter-either way, but after going through so many Batman figures, this is sill better to me.

But yea $220 can't get you much else these days in the high figure hobby anymore it seems. at least not from HT. SS figures though, you're still good to go.

Yeah. 1/6 collecting focused on Hot Toys is not a cheap hobby anymore. Again for me, looking at the pics, I just can't find anything good about the DX12 cept for the body. And even in some pics, the thing looks so bloated I dunno...I admit the DX02 was too slim but it looks like they decided to beef the body back up to MMS71 largeness. I was going to trade in my DX02 for the DX12. One Batman figure is enough for me. I personally have no need for multiple incarnations of the same suit sitting on my shelf.

One of my favourite pictures, that's Batman right there

Can someone explain the use of the two different belts to me?? I'm not getting what each one is supposed to do............

Re: HOT TOYS : MMS DX 12 - The Dark Knight Rises - BATMAN / BRUCE WAYNE Full Specs &

Well thats a non-refundable $300 down the drain. Won't be doing this again HT.
I mean seriously, how can we think this is good on any level?

lmao, I cracked up so bad when I seen this, I think this figure won't that bad, have some faith

The belt with no items on it is used to keep the disassembled sticky bomb gun on it using magnets. The belt with all the items on it is the standard display

It's Batman trying to still look intimidating while trying hard to keep down milk that's gone bad ages ago

Re: HOT TOYS : MMS DX 12 - The Dark Knight Rises - BATMAN / BRUCE WAYNE Full Specs &

Man, usually when these pics pop up of a highly anticipated figure I'm all excited and looking through the new pics with awe and wonder. I've come to associate OMG, Luka, and facebook early bird pics with great mornings.

Can't say I'm feeling that here. Last time I felt this way was for the DX 09 Batman and that was a while ago.

The body is great, I love it. Glad to see they fixed the bat symbol. It looks really nice and a vast improvement over the TDK bodies that have come before it. The boots seem to be well done as well.


The rest? Maaaan. That headsculpt is ****ed. The eyes are gigantic, the head is sort of small and, I don't know, bobble headed? He just looks stupid. Those mouth pieces don't make the figure look cool or bad ass, they make him look ridiculous. The teeth one makes him look like a cheap plastic toy and the "neutral" one makes him look like a weirdo. They don't even fit inside the cowl right like the DX 02 and DX 09. It sticks out and looks like a faceplate.

I think the only one I like is the angry scowl. That's the only one that isn't terrible.

That head just makes it look so cartoony, like an anime interpretation of TDK Batman.

So what about the rest? Yeah, the Bruce headsculpt is a minor improvement over the Toy Fair Begins head, but so what? There's nothing amazing about it.

The EMP gun sucks, and is nothing to write about. The LED light up feature is pathetic.

I have two sticky bomb guns already. The older DX bases were better.

From checking a link from 1/6 toyworld forum, the photos there should help to convince more. It looks excellent!
It got my confidence back thats for sure!
Check toy-people.com

Re: HOT TOYS : MMS DX 12 - The Dark Knight Rises - BATMAN / BRUCE WAYNE Full Specs &

Are release (or pre-release for that matter) photos supposed to be so varied across different sources?

By the looks of it it seems like Hot Toys is shipping out different DX12s at one go.

Re: HOT TOYS : MMS DX 12 - The Dark Knight Rises - BATMAN / BRUCE WAYNE Full Specs &

Thanks for the link. Love the 360 turn around for the Bale sculpt and full figure. Glad that they put the V shape at the back of the cape

LED Light looks fine here...makes me wonder if it's a luck of the draw??

Cool that the grapple gun cartridge can be removed:

this is indeed a major problem. kills totally the realism-effect...

Re: HOT TOYS : MMS DX 12 - The Dark Knight Rises - BATMAN / BRUCE WAYNE Full Specs &

Well guys .. I'm sorry.. I'm going to be the smart guy here and I'm going to:

1. Cancel this terrible figure I dislike EVERYTHING, except the Bruce Wayne head sculpt, and the neck. Everything else can go to the toilet.. I'm surprised how fat his legs are, overall the DX02 body looks more like a human being.

2. I'm going to get the 1/4 EB Batman Begins (which looks great on every single picture I've seen of it)

3. I'm going to see if:

a) Someone on the forum (Creg Customs maybe) make a decent TDK head sculpt and for my DX02.

b)Will get a medicom headsculpt mod it and swap it to the DX02.

There we go, another NRD to the trash.

Re: HOT TOYS : MMS DX 12 - The Dark Knight Rises - BATMAN / BRUCE WAYNE Full Specs &

Faces looks really ****ed up.
Medicom sculpt is still the best.

they all don't look like bale.

Suit looks nice and cape looks better.
Sculpts still sufferes the same issue we were discussing previously - shiny and soft.

The truth has been spoken.

Still gettin' it to make Medix.

I believe I will be taking this route as well, other than canceling my preorder since I never had this thing on PO. A gut feeling told me not to sell my DX02 for this and I was right. To the credit of some of the other guys here, I find the body on the DX12 to be superior to the DX02 but the head sculpt is what kills any credit. It seems Medicom was the only one to get it right.

I dont think it does, the DX02 looks like a man with tight clothes on, the DX12 looks like a muscular man with armor on as it should imo. The cowl is awful tho, i use to think PERS was a fun gimmick but now it ruins the likeness i ****ing hate it.
