1/6 Nolan Bats Collection

[FlyAndFight]

...
TDKR armory is in the rebuilt batcave, where the platform it?s in
rises out of the water and can be secretly kept out of view of intruders.
Because it gets submerged in water, it explains why it can?t have
a cage design like the TDK version and needs to be constructed
of materials that won?t degrade underwater. Also, since it?s in front of
the waterfall, it makes sense to have it be see-thru, to give it that
cool effect of being lit from the light outside.

Epic collection man, I was just getting into HT when the Nolan Bat figs were being released.
They are still some of my fav figs I own.

FlyAndFight and shells075, thanks for the kind words! Much appreciated.

Agreed. It?s a great trilogy and the figures and vehicles from this
make for great display pieces. And lots of potential for
custom pieces from these films also.
I enjoy the creative challenge of adding to the collection.

Love that TDKR armory! Detailing is amazing.

I still prefer TDK's version, though. I just prefer the design in general.

Thanks for your compliments, Zurdo95D.
Hopefully a number of new figures/items will be completed and
added to the Bats collection this year. Working hard on it.

I don?t have a 1/6 BB armory yet, but it?s been a goal of mine
for years to have all 3. Last year, I reached out to someone
who has on set photos (many never published) of the Begins armory
in the batcave. Photos were from a crew member on the film.
The guy was awesome and sent me some of those photos.
Will be a huge help in getting the armory as film accurate
as possible. My intention was to commission the armory
last year, but so many Nolan Bats custom sculpts, outfits, figures
popped up, that the BB armory got delayed.
Hoping I will have the time and funds to invest in it this year.




Thanks, FlyAndFight.
Much appreciate the kind words.
I like how all 3 armories or so different and reflect where Bruce
is in his surroundings.
TDK armory is in his makeshift temporary under the city bunker, so it
incorporates the concrete, bare-bones simplicity of the bunker.

The BB armory reflects the furniture from the mansion.
Something he used as he was getting started.

Good stuff

I'm a bit surprised HT didn't release the TDKR armory they showcased.

A 1/6 Begins Armory would be

On a related note, to me, a full 1/6 diorama of this would be the pinnacle:

Same here, was disappointed Hot Toys didn’t release their TDKR armory.
Was really excited for it, especially after seeing convention photos
of the prototype. Maybe one day they’ll revisit the idea of releasing it.
Odds of that are probably not good, but you never know. We keep hoping.

You’re right about that scene with Batman standing on top of all that rubble.
Would be an amazing full 1/6 dio.

Thanks, brother!

Thanks, brother!

Keep 'em coming I wouldn't be surprised if you'd eventually attain a full 1/6 Batcave environment

If I may also ask do have any of the 1/4 figures?

 

[gcard76]

Zurdo95D, you?re probably not far off!
I do have that Bat Bunker that Fan made a few years ago.

When I fix tdkr Bat computer to go with tdkr armory, I may do
something like that portion of the batcave with the platform.

As for 1/4 figures, I decided a couple yrs ago to only go with the
1/6 line. I had the enterbay bats and HT 1/4, but sold them
to only focus on 1/6 scale.

Whoa that sounds like an awesome display, I suspect it'd be epic


I can respect your collection direction Though for me I like both scales and so collect from both, my most favorite Batman figure is the 1/4 TDKR Batman, but then again Batman Begins one of my most favorite films ever and I friggin' like the HT 1/4 Begins suit, ahhh such is collecting lol It's great we have an array to choose from.

Thanks, Fan. . My collection definitely owes some recognition to your work
and runs you organized (Bat bunker, Yunsil TDK Bruce) with more on the way
(Ra?s Yunsil, and many numerous accessories).

Much appreciate the kind words, buddy.
Looking forward to adding more great works this year.

Thanks, Zurdo95D!
A lot of time and work to finally complete all the mods.
Only need to reshape the shoulder armor a bit more.
A big thanks to Sinag for painting and and tweaking the cowl.

Quite possibly, the best looking DX12 out there.
I recently also received a Medicom head and I'm very amazed by the sculpt.
Yours with the amazing paintjob is on another level. Congrats.

 

[gcard76]

Thank you for the great compliments, Remy!
Especially coming from a big TDK fan and collector, it means a lot.

Sinag did brilliant work on the cowl for me.
Congrats on picking up a medi cowl; Look forward to see your photos with it.
After trying many cowls over the years, the medi is my personal fave.
Perfect shape, look, and size.
