Cool figure but the QC on this thing is garbage, this is the second figure I got, I returned my first one because it had a mini circle that looked like a hole and was littered with scratches on the codpiece (I wish it had the shiny spot instead of that).

This new one has this mini shiny mark that almost looks like excess glue or something, I can get over that however, there is a pretty big mark on the left side of the cowl. I'm going to ask for a replacement of the cowl at the very least otherwise anyone know how I could minimize the shine below his armor?

EDIT So I put him on the top shelf and you can barely see the little shine so that's good however, I did notice the regular faceplate on this cowl doesn't hold in place at all like it has no friction with just that faceplate the rest all fit good. there is also a difference in the other faceplates they have a white backing while the normal expression that doesn't hold has just plain texture is it supposed to be like that or did something fall off?

I didn’t have any QC issues with the two DX19 figures I bought.

You guys are a tough crowd. Gotta say, having owned the MMS 71, DX 02, DX 12 and Armory, the DX19 is the best straight out of the box. Even the cape is well done. I mean for the price and the 13 year advancement since the MMS71, it should be. Not sure what more you guys want.

Would the cape pack have been nice? Sure, but I have the one from DX02.

Would the Armory belt with the superior construction and pouch/capsule choices? Sure, but I have the ones from the Armory.

It’s all been done now, just short of removable gauntlet blades. There’s only so much more they can do with Bale in the Dark Knight suit. The only advancements I would have liked to have seen are minor.

- neck joint utilizing mixed medium materials like the body suit (the magnetic neck looks bad on all of them)

- alternate wire cape for Batpod/gliding poses

- new hands

The Begins suit is in much more need of a redo than the TDK version. It’s a a shame Hot Toys refuses to remake the Begins suit from the ground up with today’s standards. The original costume was fine for 2008, but it looks so dated now.

I gotta say, I think I like the slimmer look of the dx02.

I had a very similar spot on the Cowl of my figure, I gave it a few rubs using a magic sponge eraser and it cleared it.

Just out of curiosity, has your DX02 Batman ever had the leaky oil on the abs?

DX02 still looks great in the Hong Kong getup with the Bale head - it always has. Your real life friends will be very impressed - they don't know the rubber under suit should be cloth. Even with the cowl, if you position it right to hide the long skinny neck (looking down of coarse) and use the pack it looks good. It has a bit of a stylized look to it I have always found attractive. In figure form I have always preferred this tactical suit with the pack over the cape. If I'm not mistaken and I may be - I think Nolan thought about using the pack a lot more in the film from which his cape would deploy when needed? I may have dreamt that I dunno.

Yup, the assumption before actually being able to test the Batpod was that you couldn't ride it with a free flowing cape, but during the early tests they gave it a shot anyway and it worked and they liked the look better, so they scrapped using the pack form.
