As someone who has only just gotten into 1/6th scale collecting and back into figure collecting as a whole, I’m over the moon with both of these announcements. I’ve wanted both of these since i was 10 years old and being 17 now i don’t have extremely deep pockets i can fish into to get the original armouries with the prices they’re going for these days.
That’s the point. Enjoy.
That's what a lot of collectors don't realize, not everyone got into the game a decade ago. They feel punished by picking up the original when they don't even have to pick up the new one that had minimal changes, but are fine with everyone else being punished because they were too young to pick up the original figures years ago.
@@c4v3m4n27 I see both sides. But companies absolutely never cared about after markets. Thats a creation of passion. Not profit.
Really happy to hear that you can get the chance again without paying crazy money! Remember that collecting never stops. There is new great stuff every single week lol so in order to have longevity in this hobby, being very selective about the display can be key, or we can quickly get buried in cool stuff. I'm always thinking about the vision for my collection or the stories I wanna tell and how these characters Impact me on a nostalgic level. Anytime I've ever bought because it was popular for others or just simply cool but I had no connection to it, are the figures that usually move on the fastest to make space for others. Thanks for watching and supporting the channel! Hope to see you here more!
I def see both sides. I got burned by the shadow trooper recently. Saud exclusive on the box in 2017! But in 2024 it's available for everyone again lol thanks for watching though and supporting the show!
Glad I'm not a Batman collector. This announcement has caused some drama amongst some collectors. 😄
Thanks for another entertaining video, Mr. Thomas Show.
Hah no doubt! Thanks for watching!!!
The fact this is a series shows how often Hot Toys like to double dip haha. Seems like a good time for Batman fans, I think the tailoring on civilian suit looks immaculate, would only be better if they made Bruce Waynes head a stupid metalic blue.
Hah ya it's wild how often this or that applies!! The blue metallic got me hah thanks for watching!
Dynamic intros make this show fun, like the Simpsons!
Hah thank you good sir! Glad you enjoy it! Thanks for tuning in and supporting the show! B TEAM!
I have an old 3rd party armoury. I forget which company made it, but it still holds up.
Heck ya! That's all ya need then!
I prefer the DKR look. It shows him coming back from defeat in a not playing around pose. Plus, I hate pin striped suits.
Totally!! And while the gym shorts look gets made fun of right now, I think it will be a chase item for people In the future over the pinstripe! Thanks for watching and commenting!
I got 1.0 with Bruce and Alfred set.
Yes the suit, the head sculpt and USB power are definitely legit upgrades on the 2.0 but with a HKD$3600 price tag I was sure not to go for it since I've ordered the TDKR armory.
Yesterday I saw update photos of the TDKR armory Bruce Wayne head sculpt. The skin complexion on the updated head sculpt is so pale, he looks sick more than he is old. For some reason when I looked at those update photos they reminded me of Biden.
Now I'm doubting if the TDKR armory will be any good and asking myself if I should get the TDK 2.0.
Then I came across this video.
Thanks for the video Ben, its really food for thought for HT TDK Trilogy collectors. I'm also done with collecting TDK trilogy figures.
I think I've made up my mind now to stay with my initial choice. Hopefully the TDKR head sculpt will end up being good when it leaves the factory.

I think in hand you'll still be really happy with it! The fact that you have the 1.0 is awesome! And having the second set if you have the room for it will be a wildly cool display! It's always different looking at these sculpts up on a screen especially when comparing apples to apples. What We have no control over in the photos are angles, lighting, the way the eyes are positioned or anything. I've often found I can bring a sculpt I'm not sure of to life with some subtle tweaks and angles in my own display! Sounds like you made a well thought out call! Good work not just succumbing to fomo hah that's that's this hobby can get a little dangerous ha thanks for watching, Kind words and channel support as well! Look forward to seeing you here more!
Don’t need it, I kitbashed the 3x for $450 total, and have all the pieces I want. Great video
That's awesome you can save the coin for something else!! Thanks for tuning in and supporting the channel!
I have the 1.0 with Alfred and won’t upgrade. If anything I will get an Inart Bale Batman.
That is awesome! Love that original set! Great call!! Thanks for watching and supporting the show!
In the end of the day, it’s a different figure. Great video.
Absolutely! It warrants the 2.0 title at the very least and imo still preserves the original well enough! Thanks for watching good sir!
Great video Ben! I know this isn’t great for the people who bought the 2.0 and that’s definitely not good. For me being a new collector it gives me a chance to buy this since I missed out on the 1st and 2nd version. For me if I was an original collector I and got the 1st set I would be happy with that version since it came with Alfred and I think that is a great figure to have. Great content on this video have a great day!
Thanks so much for always tuning in and supporting the show! Great thoughts! I'm happy this set still preserves the originals value by doing different things here while also giving the new folks a chance to get a cool set in hand! Thanks for watching!@
I gravitate towards TDKR. I like the older version of Bruce.
Makes sense! It's a great film and figure set as well! Thanks for watching and supporting the channel!
Yeah this is coming home may pick up TDKR version down the line as well. I would have liked a new Alfred
Oo same dude!! I think we might still see one though! Thanks for watching!
For a die hardcore fan like me I’ll make room for both of them.
Each have their significance for the story.
This one if when he decided to turn himself in and Alfred try to convince him otherwise.
The second one from dark knight rises is quite the opposite.
Bruce try to get back in the game, the armoury rises from the cave,Bruce is banged up from all his fighting wearing a knee pads. Alfred tries to convince him to hang the cape forever.
Oo love this comment! Great way to look at it. Love how you see the story behind the collectible as well! Thanks for watching and supporting the show!!
How much was the NRD for the 'rises' armory? Personally I prefer the acrylic design but I'm currently on the waiting list for that version. In other words, It seems like no one's canceled that order to get the TDK version.
I think it was around $40 for NRD. I wouldn't be surprised if we see conversions once it's released. That's when people need to pay the money they owe , and if it's a tough month cancelations happen! We shall see! Both are beautiful sets. You can't go wrong with either!
7:41 I checked my DX19, especially the cowl and mouth plates (as DX19 is one of only THREE HT figures I own), and the mouth plate shape is CLOSER on DX19 than I’m seeing on the 2.0 Armory Batman or MMS702…
Feel free to correct me if I’m wrong though.
I'll do a deeper dive!! Thanks for watching and letting us know! I still want to upgrade my dx12!! So need the best option. Thanks for also supporting the show!
Its odd the troopers (black & white) w/DS environment, Imperial Commando (BB), Obi Wan (Mandalorian armor), etc were just announced but are already out. The timing of announcements/releasing BM DX19, DKR armory, DK armory 2.0, etc seems odd too. These actions were probably planned at least yr or two ago. HT must anticipate how will collectors will respond. Most businesses make decisions in order to make a max profit. The current state of global economy makes those decisions harder. I'm sure on the business side (capital, logistics, etc) of HT there are things going on that we are not aware of. W/that being said its hard to know mindset of HT. Enjoyed your video. Keep up the hard work.
Thanks for watching, kind words and thoughtful comment! Agreed, but also hot toys often makes choices that don't make sense. Missing certain anniversary dates for example. This is batman 80th birthday. Why not brand that way? Whe release figures like pennywise at Christmas vs Halloween lol ao many examples.it seems that profit vs the make sense option often wins, but also means that most things will eventually come back which for me takes away from collecting a little. Thanks for watching and supporting the show!!
@@TheBenThomasShow Those are all outstanding pts which some of the details I was unware of.
🤙🖖
already soldoff dx19 last year. miss the armory 1.0
so this is kinda a W for me~ So might preorder
Oo good timing!! If this hits for you it will be awesome In hand I'm sure! Thanks for watching and supporting the show!
This looks awesome, really want it but I have the DX19 and cat women. hmmmm
While I think it is an improvement over the dx19, it's very minimal and the set itself takes up a ton of space. Unless it's your favorite of all time, I'd save the money for the next cool thing! It's early in the years still! Lots more to come!
Is there really a difference between the dark knight and the dark knight rises bat suit?? Not bruce i get that. But bat suit itself between the 2. And we need a 2.0 batman begins
Hey so yes the rises has less room in the collar and has more shades of grey in the film and so far figure it looks like. Also some subtle difference in the back and shoulder sections. TDK is mostly black. And we have had a 2.0 of begins suit but to call it a 2.0 is barely accurate because they made no upgrades. So now we need a begins 3.0 hha thanks for watching and supporting the show!!
@TheBenThomasShow in your opinion, is it worth getting both armorys based on what it comes with and the bat suits
Nope. Not unless you have great disposable income and lots of space to display. If I close my eyes, I know that feeling of what I gravitate too most for my nostalgia of the films. TDK will beat TDKR everytime, so I want to save the space and then dollars for all the other cool stuff we will see this year and want to buy!
@TheBenThomasShow dude, I absolutely appreciate your honesty. I'll definitely keep watching your videos!!! Do you have an Instagram?
Will this fit in your ikea units?
This will yep!! The Ikea Billy shelves are about 15 inches tall and a foot deep
