Hot Toys 1/4 Scale Batman - Thoughts and Suggestions
I have decided not to keep this figure, but I still wanted to share my thoughts.
Hopefully something in this video will be useful to somebody. Here are the contents:
Cape installation - :30
Shoulder shimming (shortening the neck and giving the traps a slope) - 2:53
Ab straps futzing - 4:30
Straightening the pants (getting the knee pads over the knees) - 6:08
Boot removal - 6:36
Ankle/boot extension (added height to display with Enterbay) - 7:03
Abdominal shape rant - 8:22
Proposed fix for belly - 10:25
How to remove the upper armor and suit - 10:55
Head-to-shoulder-ratio rant - 12:06
Proposed fix for shoulder width - 13:15
It's a nice figure, it's just not for me.

Bane Arm Swap (attempt)
Переглядів 3,2 тис.11 років тому
Here is my attempt at swapping Bane's muscle arms with a standard Truetype's arms. The purpose of this mod is to give the figure superior articulation. Many are unhappy with the fact that the muscle arms don't allow him to hold on to his vest - which is the character's signature pose. This mod will make that possible... well it would if these were the right arms. You'll see why they didn't work...

    I want to get a replacement body for my Hot Toys Avengers Captain America figure because it fell off his stand and I accidently ran it over with my electric wheelchair and broke it.Would you know what type of body that Hot Toys use for the Captain America figure?

    Dude is a figure, just enjoy it. I have mine and I'm more than happy with it. Compare it with Hasbro or neca, it looks more than just a toy. Btw thanks for the tutorial I hated the way the knee pads were and the chest area. I have a Tony Mei cape and it's 1000 times better than the hot toys. Bye and keep the good working.

    but a lot of cash spent no matter what..i am enjoying this fig but the EB bats will always be my favorite..I have said this many times but this suit is great but it still and always will be a guy in a motorcycle suit but at the end of the day all these figs are massed produce in a part of the world where labour is cheap so QC and design flaws will always be present...Respect

  • @waynesbutler
    @waynesbutler 11 років тому

    Thanks for doing these vids buddy and having a crirical eye..plus thanks to you I was able to get my EB bats to a much better place..after the mods its a real sexy fig..simple lines and with nothing glue or painted on there is less chance of a fuckup on the assembly line..although as we know it did have its issues..but fixable...This fig on the other hand..as much as I like it..has weird preportions with all kinds of issues if you wanted to look real close..some will not like it..some wont care

    Or you could just buy a regular true type and put bane's clothes and headsculpt on it lol. Like the Arnie dx10. He's got the double jointed elbows. Very interesting video mate. I had never seen what these figures looks like Inside. The guy who designed these bodies is a genius

    I follow this tutorial, but the magnets were glued on the suit. I had to unglue them. Then the magnets didn't want to stay in place (the new place).. so I had to use a bit of super glue. I'm tempted to do the belly modd but I'm not that brave .. lol

  • @user-pm4ko9uk8g
    @user-pm4ko9uk8g 12 років тому

    Ohya I also iron out his cape with water spray...... Seems fine at high temperature !!! It's just sexy !!!!!! what aver scuderia pulls out have been money !!!

  • @user-pm4ko9uk8g
    @user-pm4ko9uk8g 12 років тому

    Just got mine today. Did exactly what you said..... My belt fits perfectly onto his waist. No more tummy. And i use the part that i trim for his crotch. Also use some of the trim part for the backside as it clearly pulls the suit together. You're a genius !!!! Just pull out the magnet from the suit... Kinda scary cause it sticks so well to the suit..... Tomorrow will complete the cape mod as I'm running out of superglue !!!!! Thanks anyway !!!
