Toys and Games Reviews of Hot Toys' The Dark Knight: 1:6 Scale Batman
Customer Review: THE Definitive Dark Knight Batman
Summary: 5 Stars
In my haste, I made a decision I thought was a good one at the time. I bought the DC Direct DK Batman. At $80, I thought that the reviews were wrong and that I'd be getting a great depiction of the main character in the year's best movie. I was wrong, and I regretted it. Luckily, my patience and decision to wait for this piece to be imported stateside has paid off.
As you may know, Hot Toys went back to the drawing board in September and after listening to their fans, made significant changes to the figure that was oriignally shown. They made the armor and pants tighter, the shoulder pads smaller, and changed the headsculpt to look as though it came straight off the screen with a smaller mouth and longer nose. The result is one of their best pieces, and the best DK batman that will be released.
The suit is made entirely of molded rubber, and the cape is detachable. The figure comes with four extra hands, a mini mine, grapple gun, and two batarangs. The hands are a slight headache in that the pegs come of inside of them, so you have to warm the hands to safely remove the pegs.
The Christian Bale headsculpt was also redone to be more intense, and it looks exactly like him, with visible pores and in the correct light, the facial structure is evident. I personally have mine on display with this headsculpt, as I already have the cowled Takara Batman Begins figure next to him, so having an extra head is a great deal.
The figure is quite posable, but don't think you can get extreme as the nature of the rubber suit will prohibit exaggerated poses. Just outside of a static pose is no problem whatsover. The detailing of the suit is pretty much screen accurate and the suit fits very well with no bulking or bubbling that is sometimes inherent with rubber suits.
The only problem other than the annoying pegs is the stability of the figure. He can be knocked over with a shake of his platform, so I recommend using the included, unobtrusive stand.
Overall, please find some way to come up with the extra money to purchase this Hot Toys version. It is superior in every way to both the Medicom and especially the DC Direct version. It may cost a pretty penny, but if you are a fan of the character or movie, it's well worth it. And in years when these becme rarer, their value increases, so it's a very worthy investment.
