There is a chance we may get in some of the Hot Toyz releases over the next few months but that is still tentative.

RE: Batman's Chest Plate

Atom — Sun, 23 Nov 2008 23:26:35 -0500

Hi ilkooky,

Honestly I'm not entirely sure how to fix that. If I could figure out how to take the figure apart I'd actually paint the red/pink part black myself.

Perhaps one of our other readers or writers have an idea?

I have a request! Please Oh Please!

I hope any of you guys would make a review if you can on those Dark Knight/Batman Masterpiece Editions of Hot Toys, Medicom RAH and DC Direct. They have amazing line-ups of Batman/Dark Knight 12" action figures of batman, the joker, harvey dent/2-face, the batpod and the tumbler.

I'm sorry but I'm just a very big batman fan!

Oh! Oh! Oh! ...if you could also get a hold on some of the Bruce Lee 12" action figures. They too look so amazing!

Please be a genie! Thanks!

...and we all know how that feels like - having to keep the toys we hate. ;D

Oh! By the way!

With those red thingies on Batman's chest (looks like a Nike Airsole), he looks like a G1-Transformer...like Mirage or Jazz with the car headlights located on their chests.

Why'd they have to put those things on his chest?? ..and why'd they put a standing collar on his neckline?? I may never find out the answers.

...make it two...
if bandai released the whole set, i'd be more than happy to get them all. i mean, this is the best batman sculpt i've ever found on the market... had the batman and batpod already, courtesy of a friend :D

well... i'd polish lead to gold for an abundant supply of monthly japanese toys too.. i guess that's the reason i'm not in the toy review business...

Batman's Chest Plate

ilkooky — Sat, 22 Nov 2008 01:43:26 -0500

Unfortunately, my batman toys especailly the clear chest plate part has become discolorised which is the color became whiter due to the color was peeled off. so I would like to fix this problem.

Does anybody know how can I fix my Batman toys(clear part on his
Chest plate)?
Should I use any painting to fix it? Pleae give me your kind advice
I would be very appreciate that!
TKS a LOT!

Cyclone Blue hit the nail on

Cyclone Blue hit the nail on the head! Atom gives good reviews to toys he hates because he gets to keep the toys he hates!

Batman only comes with

Atom — Tue, 18 Nov 2008 00:05:31 -0500

Batman only comes with the Batpod. That's to bad you don't like the bike though, it really is a very nice piece as far as a diecast toy goes. I personally think that Bandai needs to do a two pack of the Joker and Two-Face. Don't think they will do just a Batman release though, however that is just one mans opinion...

... Bandai however does like to make money so you never know. :)

Excellent review! The

BlazeEagle — Mon, 17 Nov 2008 22:52:02 -0500

Excellent review!

The written review was excellent, but the video really illustrates how solid & stable the figure appears to be!

I don't care for the bike, but I really love this representation of the dark knight!

Do they have a version of the figure without the bike or is he exclusive to this set?

Think about it...

Cyclone Blue — Sat, 15 Nov 2008 19:37:48 -0500

Let me put this down in a much far simpler perspective. Say, If I'm gonna get a free toy like this from Angolz but I'll be obliged to write something about it biasely.... What benefit will I get from it? the toy?! that's it?! that is so lame!! It's not equitable!!

..unless if Angolz will pay me..hehehe!!..then there we can say, there's a "taint of payola attached to it"!! "although this is not far from the truth" -morpheus... some writers/journalists are in fact doing this kinda thing.

but for this case, my reputation as a writer against a few amount of hongkong dollars and a 20cm batman action figure with his batpod? think about it! is it worth it? is it really?

The reviewer's opinion is

kidnicky — Thu, 13 Nov 2008 00:29:21 -0500

The reviewer's opinion is really made irrelevant by the depth of the review.
By reading this review,and looking at the pictures,you can make up your own mind as to whether or not you should buy the item. And really,it's not hard to believe Atom can enjoy a finely detailed diecast figure and vehicle from the biggest motion picture of the year (and classic comic book) without being "on the take" or whatever other nonsense. That's just stupid.

That being said,I'm not going to purchase this figure,since it looks like Batman is wearing a red bra,and I'm not really into that sort of thing.

Thanks for the positive

Thanks for the positive comments, guys!

This site is about one thing: collections! Sure we have a lot of registered users who post great comments. That's awesome and in a way, that's the cornerstone of the site. But it's also about photographing your collection and posting the pics here. I like to think of it as "virtually playing"!

Hey, unless we're all hanging out in person, this is our best bet at sharing in this goofy hobby!

Anyway, if there were more hours in the day, I'd love to review more vintage pieces and more non-mainstream stuff...like my obscure Japanese vinyl glowies or weird American things like Mad Balls. Those things are part of my collection, and you need to know about them! ;)

Sure, we try to stay on top of all the great new toys that are coming out all the time. As a toy news site, that's obviously pretty important, but again, the cornerstone is our collections and raving about what we like!

I think it looks real

chogoalex32 — Wed, 12 Nov 2008 12:18:10 -0500

I think it looks real cool.
About the discussion, it doesn`t make a lot of sense to gripe about a collector's review site getting some incentives.
I have collected for a few years now, and I know I have invested a lot of money, and my collecting is humble compared to the site's admin guys so...how much money do they need to invest to get some respect?

They are doing fine, good reviews, plenty of pics, good times, most of the times.
