Medicom/Hot Toys and all 1/6 scale figures

[EXO]

Two Banes and no Talia Al Ghoul? That's criminal! Did you get Catwoman?

Now this would put the HOT in Hot Toys

[Kicker773]

Got the extra one for customization. Already started the arms for the boss scene and got new boots. Getting the pants done. Preordered catwoman to go on the extra bat pod

[EXO]

You need to get the rest of the Starks to go with your Iron Man.

Are you able to achieve pretty dynamic gestures with the EVA? Also, how tall is it?

Thanks

[Gakken85]

Very Dynamic.

This isn't a very good picture but it shows him crouching:

You can get that famous running pose out of him too. It's basically an articulated skeleton with rubber over it, then the plastic bits are over the rubber, so it's made to move. It also comes with a cool stand to help with any unstable poses.

The spine also bends in various ways, so you can hunch him and sway back and forth. The ankles have tons of articulation, and the hips kind of dislocate to make certain poses.

Ill try to take some better pictures of him in a crazy pose at some point.

From Heel to the top of his shoulder fin he's about 16 inches tall.

And I missed the weird bambalamwhatever preorder for Atom, the one I really wanted, god damn it!

[anime52k8]

HLJ and BBTS both have him for pre-order. I figure Sideshow will have him up sometime soon as well.

Yeah, I have him on HLJ, but that one is more expensive and without the free shipping for the huge box the 3A site had.

Hot Toys is releasing a crazy amount of Iron Man figures. I guess Comic Con will be Iron Man central at Hot Toys this year. Plus a few updates that they teased from last year like Batman 66, Batman 89/Returns, Prometheus, and whatever else I'm forgetting.

[Kicker773]

gotta refrain myself from collecting them.....89 batmobile on pre order and i think camo tumbler will be released soon...too bad the bat isn't going to be produced. I'm still debating if i can wait for the MKVII and which version, or just get the Mark VI to complete the avengers team.

[Gakken85]

Only Iron Man I want is Silver Centurion.

[GU-11]

Came back from the hobby store last weekend, and brought back the guy with the analgesic addiction (of course it's Bane; who else? )

Less than pleased with his lacking elbow articulation; couldn't recreate his trademark pose, with his hands holding the straps of his vest or overcoat.

But overall, pretty good, although I would have preferred a bulkier physique.

But all that matters is he's Bane, and he looks awesome battling Batman in my Detolf shelf.

Strange that the cammo Tumbler hasn't been released at your end yet. My hobby store just brought in a shipment of them last week or so. Of course, the shop is an official distributor for HT, so they probably get the first batches for new releases.

[Kicker773]

Switch the arms of bane to terminator arms and I was able to recreate boss pose.

Ordered it through bbts

Jordan home 45 arriving Wed. 2nd dx11arriving tues, and custom dx12 arriving tomorrow . Going to be an exciting week again.

[GU-11]

Thanks for the tip, Kicker! Got any tutorials on how to replace those arms? Money's kind of tight with all the pre-orders I've made, so it'll take a while before I can find the spare cash to get an HT torso for the arms.

BTW, when you said terminator arms, did you mean an actual Arnold fig, or sone of HT's stock bodies that are compatible with the Arnold fig. Getting an actual Arnold one might be too expensive for me considering after-market prices, not to mention wasteful. Wouldn't know what to do with the rest of the fig.

[Kicker773]

I got my arms from a TTM20 Arnold body. The arms on that figure allows you to bend much greater than 90 degrees. If you can find a arnold body for cheap its worth the mod. Now its not for the faint of heart though. You will have to cut the plastic/rubber cover of the bane body on the lateral mid-line under neath his armpit to get to the back and unscrew the covers. The same goes for the arnold body. After you get the arms removed you have to sand down the arnold arm pegs to make it identical or close to the bane pegs of his arms. Took me 20 mins to do. I'll take pics of my bane when i get a moment after i stop drooling my the Jordan figure.

[Kicker773]

This is how Bane Looks with the modified arms...you can see the boots I haven't slapped those on yet since I'm still waiting on the custom pants.

And of course this guy came in today....took a quick pic. Will try to get better pics soon.

Two more spaces left...gonna put Kobe next to MJ and the two spaces will go to Luke and Darth Vader....and for Snake eyes and Storm Shadow. Then I think I'm done.

[Gakken85]

You know you're not done

[UN Spacy]

There's still Iron Man III coming.

[GU-11]

Bane looks so in character being able to hold his vest straps like that!

From your description, the mod sounds pretty nasty, and with his rubber skin cut, that probably means he won't be able to go shirtless anymore.

Would it be better to just get an HT heavy type body and put Bane's head and clothes on it? Thing is, I'm not sure if the heavy type body is able to bend its elbows as much as the Arnold body.

[Kicker773]

I actually glued mine back on and it's barely noticeable with his shirt off. There is a line already there that you just have to follow.

You guys are bad bad bad

[Kicker773]

2nd Dx11 in. Its the non exclusive version (no clown mask). Got it through BBTS in collectors grade. Thank god. No damage on the purple box edges. Freaking awesome!!

[xrentonx]

I got a DX11 coming in too! Really excited

[Kicker773]

You will love it =) Pretty close from a custom, ideal fig with many accessories to do various poses ...

GU-11

Read on this thread for customization(s) and I mean various customizations

[Kicker773]

Custom dx12 arrived yesterday. Took a quick shot. Been staring at it. Haven't articulated it yet not man its awesome. Total of 12 faceplates and 5 heads. AWESOME!!

[Kicker773]

[xrentonx]

Man, that looks cool, Kicker!

So I just got my Joker 2.0 in and he's pretty much the best Hot Toys thing I own (granted I don't own that many...but still). How wrong is it that the tailoring on a 1/6th figure looks better than my real clothes?

...that reminds me...time to buy a new bespoke suit. Been spending too much on toys lately

Nice Kicker! Makes me want to get the Batman also, but I don't need another collection obsession hahahaha

[Kicker773]

I'm so bad....."This is Sparta!!!" Just came in..

[promethuem5]

Long time no post and all, but I was skimming this thread and noticed there were a lot of questions and not enough pictures I've been picking up a lot of 1/6 stuff lately and covering it for CollectionDX and thought you guys would enjoy the pics:

I've got the regular 3A Halo Carter and the Hot Toys Iron Man MkVII (and the IM3 stuff) all on the way, too, so there's lots more reviews coming!

[Kicker773]

I wonder when they will be releasing this version of super girl

[GU-11]

@Kicker: Thanks for the link!

That bat symbol and cape on your customs DX12 is certainly an improvement. 12 faceplates and 5 heads?! That's awesome!

Damn, the massive collection you two have are probably worth ten of thousands...probably hundred of thousands in kicker's case.

@ prometheum: I just read a CDX review of the Spartan mkV, and damn, it's a thing of beauty. The weathering on it is just gorgeous.
