SSR The Bat Returns 2.0 aka “1/6 The Dark Knight Returns 2.0”…

Sorry to double bump, but I just snagged a PO for the Black Version! Does anyone have any tips on how to secure/find a leg strap.

I just received from Kit both versions. Apart from a small dissapointment (the box in black version came damaged from factory, and the paint of the headsculpt came also damaged), my first impression of the figure is good. Here some thoughts:
- The body proportions are perfect. It is difficult to articulate, but it represents the depiction perfectly.
- Headsculpts are good. I even think that Blue version has a different smirk than Black version.
- Hands are ok. They are casted in soft plastic (kind of rubber) which make them look a bit cheap (batarangs won´t break, that for sure...) I know it is custom job, but for the price... well I don´t know.
- Boots proportions are good. The material feels also weird. Paintjob is too flat, and it needs some extra weathering.
- Rifle is very simple, but I didn´t expect differently.
- Interchangable chest signals are nicely thought and good executed.
- Wayne sculpt (Deluxe) is good. I like it. I will try to play it on my Hot Toys Armoured.
- Box is very beautiful (if you are lucky to receive it undamaged). Not a shoe box, but more like a Hot Toys DX.
- I don´t like much the gap between headsculpt and plastic cowl-neck. In the blue version, by the way, the color of this piece does not much with the headsculpt and cape.

Overall, I am happy with this, specially because I have been waiting for this a looong time. If I have to choose between both versions, well... I won´t tell you which one!

I got my standard blue version from OSK yesterday. Box came in good shape, but sadly some stuff inside arrived with some damage, I'm not good at fixing stuff, but I managed. The headsculpt got some small white paint rub, not really bothered too much by it. The black bat symbol definitely rubbed with the suit I think during transit and transfered some to the gray suit, managed to wipe it off with my finger. Lastly the yellow bat symbol underneath had the top section broken and the magnets were not glued to it. Fixed that with some super glue and the symbol with some clear tape.

Figure itself is pretty neat, head is awesome, body is beefy, weighing close to 2 pounds. The collar blends pretty well with the other blue IMO.

My only complaint would be that SSR could've packaged the items a bit better. The alternate bat symbols should have been with the top foam layer. Forgot to mention that the utility belt had to be snapped back into position.

For $300 those paint chips would bother me, especially on the head sculpt.

Yeah I’d be on the line asking if I could get a replacement sculpt.

Hoping I get a shipping notice from kit for mine this week.
