I think kiddy body is the best description of this figure to date, the HS looks pretty good imo, he needs a wider neck and some slight adjustment to the head shape but nothing major imo. Maybe the mask moved up a little as well.
But the body looks nothing like the character in the movie, it looks too tall and slim, it doesn't have the thick torso & stomach Hardy had and the wrists look too skinny, upper arms aren't bad but not great by any means, the saving grace for this figure is that with the coat on he looks great, cause it covers the body and most of the trousers.
Bane went from a bulldog in the film to a race hound in figure form
Re-watching TDKR scenes on Youtube and when Batman's break's bane's mask the pain and anger shown by Hardy is perfect, you really get the feeling all the pain the mask keeps in is being unleashed and Bane turn's into a beast, especially when he pins Batman to the column and unleashes a barrage to his mid section
i was initially a bit down on this film when i saw it the first time, but the second viewing it really grew on me and since then it keeps rising in my view of it.
