Hot Toys TDKR: 1/4th scale Batman [QS001] - Full Reveal & Specs

[Wanderer]

So is this thing an exact copy of DX12 sized up? Or is it an inferior version. Got both on PO but I'm torn :/

dx 12 looks better imo.

Yeah I'm thinking the same...I need that accessory for the batpod too so another tick in the DX12 plus column

Who knows with HT and their prototypes, you know? They show one thing and by the time it's actually available it could be drastically different (for better or for worse). Hell, when they originally showed the DX 02 Batman both in spec pics AND at shows it wasn't even the real figure. It was some new DX 02 parts on a MMS 71 Batman.

and that's why I'm gonna wait until this starts shipping before I decide which Batman I want. Who knows, maybe EB will even have a TDK version by the time this ships.

Hi guys, I need some help here.
I ordered Batman TDKR 1:4 form Hot Toys, and as I've so many others HT 1:6 scale figures and Sideshof statues on way, I decided to pass on Enterbay Batman Begins 1:4 and Enterbay Joker 1:4 too
I decided to wait hoping Hot Toys releases those two figures.
The question is:
Does anyone knows officially if Hot Toys are making those figures 1:4 and the release date?

Did SS put up a regular version of this to order?

True! In fairness to Hot Toys though their final product is usually the same, if not better than the proto. But at the same time their recent work has been a bit hit n' miss more than previously....

The price seems to be same. No free shipping. I wish the normal version included the batman mask.

I keep looking at this and getting turned off by the cowl over and over again and the face sculpt

If they get me one as accurate as this (bale no doubt) I will pre order

I'm guessing the hot toys qs001 had PERS? The PERS eyes always seem to look bigger in 1/6 scale than regular eyes version. Maybe if they used 1/6 PERS in this 1/4 version that could look better at least for eyes. The cowl I have no idea what to do. The figure could use thicker neck.

I hope HT can match this on their QS figure then I am definitely picking it up

The Hot Toys sculpt looks so awful compared to the real deal. And they want $500 for this? Its sad because I really wanted this to "stand out" and bring 1:4 to a whole new level of realism that 1:6 figures can't acheive. As many others have said, this looks exactly like a blown up 1/6 figure.

All these years and figures later and they still can not get the cowl right. But Medicom did. Why?

I'm confused, I thought medicom's had to be customized for it to look good?

I think he means the neck to cowl proportions I guess

That HT cowl is hideous

The Medicom is a 3D scan of the actual cowl (i.e. it can't be beaten on accuracy theoretically).

The flaw though is that it's cast hollow, so the production versions shrunk to be too narrow. Since its hollow though, it's relatively painless to fill it with material to widen it to accurate proportion. Once you do that, it's pretty much 99% accurate.

Crap, I need to go buy 1/4 scale cotton balls.

Honestly I don't understan why Hot Toys doesn't do the same thing that Medicom did, with the 3D scan stuff... it doesn't make any sense... internal politic? or what?
