[@Nobody-eh3hu]

I don’t know how people skip the accessories segments I love watching it only because seeing accessories in a certain scale is so cool to me

[@stewiegriffin4]

Yeah it’s my favorite part!

[@theyoutubeemperor6283]

Agreeed

[@himankmalik1704]

me too

[@JustinsCollection]

I’m guilty of doing it when I watch reviews haha

[@czowiek324]

Me too

[@silverfuryranger]

I've had the Dx19 and Tumbler for months, and every morning, I drink my coffee and sit to admire its beauty 😅

[@JustinsCollection]

Heck yeah that's the best!

[@harrynguyen2503]

Agreed about the art box Justin. I don't usually care that much about art boxes but I do think it is mandatory. It's kinda like blurays. It's just nice to be able to display the boxes they're in too.

[@JustinsCollection]

For sure it's an insult

[@theworksofamarhakim5581]

I always get inspired to start a collection when watching your videos. Thank you for giving advices in what to do and what not to do 😊

[@JustinsCollection]

You are so welcome!

[@johnlumbano3109]

I’ve been collecting for over 20 years and believe me we love our box art.

[@JustinsCollection]

Legit!

[@jakeciasulli654]

I agree!! At this super premium price point everything about this figure show be an experience. Happy you’re back Justin

[@JustinsCollection]

For sure! Thank you Jake!

[@jackdettmer179]

I work for a third party statue company (1/4 scale) and my secondary job outside of concept work is designing their boxes! If a company as small as the one i work for can pay me a decent wage to make big boxes fun to open, Hot Toys has NOOOOOO excuse as to why they cant either...

[@JustinsCollection]

Legit they need to get with it!

[@ejissajk]

This set is my greatest purchase

[@JustinsCollection]

Nice!

[@culldera1]

What a beautiful base! I had the 1.0 and hated how difficult it was to have him standing on it. Custom cowl looks 🔥

[@JustinsCollection]

The new base is much better for sure! Love the OT cowl!

[@HeyItzJD]

Ive moved away from figures and more into statues over the years but this might actually be a good alternative to a 1/4 statue, especially with that display base wow. also, honestly, the Bruce sculpt by HT might actually be better than the ones the statue makers have made lol. Thanks for the review as always, Justin!

[@JustinsCollection]

Yeah definitely a great option as a poseable statue!

[@ashgaming7045]

That's so funny because I did the opposite by moving away from statues and more into Hot Toys figures because statues 99.9% of time have some type of QC issues where hot toys don't have many issues like paint flaws drive me nuts on statues!

[@Jakers96]

Class review, went incredibly in depth and did comparisons to previous figures, super appreciated! I personally don’t own any of these kind of figures but I love checking out these videos Justin.

[@JustinsCollection]

Thank you so much! I tried to cover everything!

[@senju1106]

I was like "hey that's a cool bo-wait a minute something feels off here"😂 amazing review like always though 👏

[@JustinsCollection]

Haha thank you!

[@IrcnStark]

Incredible how Hot Toys makes such an intricate base but shorts collectors on the art box.

[@BeefWifGrief]

I think at this point they’re cheaping out wherever they can while still jacking up the prices .. ✨profits✨

[@IrcnStark]

@@BeefWifGrief Exactly. This figure went from $465 to $595 (for the Collector Edition) on Sideshow. Price gouging from Sideshow aside, if Hot Toys is increasing prices they shouldn't be skimping out on details. I don't display the box but for me it's about the principle of how they're operating and disrespecting collectors.

[@kylebewley7790]

@@IrcnStark feel exactly the same. I’m on reddit right now being downvoted for having a issue with this. One guy said he was down with boring packaging because he throws the boxes away because he doesn’t have enough space to store them. I translate that to “everyone else should pay because i own too much stuff” Not my fault that. Choose more carefully. I want my box art. Especially for the price 1/4 are. It’s a fantastic figure and i’ll still be getting him. But the lack of box art really sucks. Didn’t even include the big beefy 1/4 button, it’s printed on instead 🙈 What were they thinking! 😅

[@toyrobot9129]

The figure coming right out from the brown shipper gives the experience of like unboxing a cheap knock off … bravo Howard Chan!

[@JustinsCollection]

Legit

[@CmdrShepard95]

This is still, do this day, my favorite batsuit. I absolutely love it, even more than Ben Affleck’s comic accurate batsuit and Robert Pattinson’s batsuit. And I’m not entirely sure why. I’m just love it, and I love every Hot Toy’s figure if it

[@sleepygorilla1341]

How about the Begins suit? Always thouth the Dark Knight suit looked super tight

[@JustinsCollection]

It’s epic! I love BvS though!

[@DorkOfGames]

Tdk suit is awful. Tiny bat that blends in, looks like he's the one wearing hockey pads and there is just 0 intimidation factor

[@sebaris7528]

@@DorkOfGames 0 intimidation factor? Would underpants over tights be preferable? Or an un-moveable neck? I do love batman's classic suits from the comics, but they just wouldnt work in the world Nolan established.

[@DorkOfGames]

@@sebaris7528 Actually yes because batman is supposed to be like a demon and all his stiff motions are unnatural and his non heavily armored outfits blend into the shadows

[@munz1870]

I plan on buying this. It looks so good and will compliment by 1/4 HT joker. I’m not a huge “box guy” but the fact they didn’t even pack it is crazy! Especially for this! I understand cost reduction but come on! Not to mention the fact that the box helps protect the figure while in transit

[@JustinsCollection]

Yeah it’s not ideal in terms of the box. At least the figure is dope

[@D_D_D_D_D_D]

Always love looking at the accessories thanks for the video Justin! 😁😁😁

[@JustinsCollection]

My pleasure!

[@deanknight333]

Jesus, that box is awful. The elbow armour still sticking out like that is bullshit. Just include extra gauntlets with bent elbow gaurds for fighting poses 🤦 Some nice extras and the cape looks good, but I'm sticking with the first release. OT Customs work is unbelievable 👏 Great video Justin 👍

[@JustinsCollection]

Thank you Dean! The box is atrocious! OT absolutely killed it with the cowl though!

[@Chrisalv]

Love that you put the DX19 on the base, just like I was thinking. It looks so good!!

[@JustinsCollection]

It does!

[@aaronjones5284]

He is!

[@dealwiddit5072]

Another informative, polished review!

[@JustinsCollection]

Thanks again!

[@Jigsaw_Phantom]

I love the display base with the Falcon head for this impressive 1/6 scale figure! I also dig the sonar eyes for the Batman, which I thought was the best part of the Dark Knight because Batman had only so much time to find and save the hostages.

[@JustinsCollection]

Me too!

[@thecasualhobbyist]

Fantastic in-depth review, every aspect of the figure is so well covered! I would love to see your take on the Enterbay Batman, surprised you have the Bale hs from that figure! Bear in mind that figure is old if you do decide to review it. I managed to grab a bargain on that one recently & now addicted to this scale, which makes this review bleed my pocket a bit! Great work as always!

[@JustinsCollection]

I really want to get him! I will try!

[@jinbraimoh]

You’re killing me Justin. Each time I watch your video. Next button I press is order now. 😂😂😂😂😂😂 Thanks for the video.

[@JustinsCollection]

[@user-cp3si7fg3w]

Thank you for the video!! How long is it when you put it on the base?? I don't think it'll be easy to find a dresser that fits the size ㅜ

[@gamingwithpr440]

That stand is cool though

It is!

Groovy figure, Christian Charles Philip Bale is the best live action Batman get Armor final suit, plays Ash Williams (Army of darkness)

[@JustinsCollection]

Nice

[@adamegebrecht4320]

I Agree with you on the box, it's part of the experience in my book. But holy shit, what a damn masterpiece!! I thought my DX19 was good, but I may have to this to go with my 1/4 Batman Begins and 1/4 Batman 1989.

[@JustinsCollection]

100% not ideal!

[@RonnieFarrellofficial]

Brilliant figure

[@JustinsCollection]

Agreed

[@Cinematic34]

[@JustinsCollection]

Haha thanks!

[@ssmartin6671]

Thank you Justin! Have to agree with you on a few things. The Box, I don't want the delivery guy or my neighbors knowing what I'm receiving at my doorstep. I also don't want to temp would be package thieves. Also the necks are too skinny on the D X 19 and the quarter scales. I just can't stop looking at it and it bothers me so much. OT's are nice but I'm not willing to spend the cash. But my quarter-scale QS001 is pretty phenomenal. I have to agree.

[@JustinsCollection]

My pleasure!

[@iBuyFeetPix]

outside of the belt needing to be fixed, i think the Enterbay Batman Begins figure is by far the best Batman figure we have. it's hard to describe until you see it in person cause it has such a presence as corny as that sounds.

[@JustinsCollection]

It’s incredible

[@eaglerabbit8922]

This is very tempting. Although, I do have two DX19s, I still want this.

[@JustinsCollection]

Worth it!

[@JustinsCollection]

Thank you so much Bradley!

[@shellpose]

Wow the proportions are a big improvement over the 1.0. I personally would rather see an upscaled DX19 hs rather than the re-released hs.

[@JustinsCollection]

Agreed

[@SonicFrozen_Fan2005_Official]

Bale's Batman is too nostalgic to look at, but the figure is stylish.

He is!

Do t listen to them Justin your unboxing is one of the best parts of the video

The 2.0 Bruce Wayne head sculpt has a bit of Harrison Ford when looking head on front view.

[@JustinsCollection]

Oh!

[@mcactarus]

Personally, I find that HT did a good job on this reissue of Batman ! I looked at what the competing brands do and really they can't sublimate the excellent painting work or the head sculpt of this 1/4 figurine.

[@JustinsCollection]

Agreed they did a great job!

[@JustinMcFly1980]

Amazing. Just wish for 2023 and beyond all the 1/4 should be usb. Especially for the price. Good review 🎉😊

[@chrisrybskiart]

I own this OT custom cowl but can't figure out how to install the chunky neck 😂 I feel like it won't budge at all. What's the best way to install it?

[@JustinsCollection]

You need to remove the existing rubber ring around the neck opening to fit it

[@chrisrybskiart]

@@JustinsCollection thank you 🙏🏻

[@dylanhicks-seriouslug768]

I kinda have to buy this. My original 1/4 has a broken shoulder and the right arm is floppy now 😂 But the base looks great, figure looks great, the bust for the head is amazing (and should be done more frequently, AND for some 1/6 figures as well) and the brown box is going in the trash so I don’t care what it looks like, but it’s weird they didn’t use the classic 1/4 packaging, probably because the huge base.

[@JustinsCollection]

Ah damn! Mine had the same issue but I was able to get in there and tighten the screw which fixed it right up! Hate the box though!

[@galickgunner8793]

Holy Shit!! That pose at 42:00 was so badass! If I had this figure that's exactly how I would display him for a majority of the time so friggin cool.

Justin I have to agree with you with the cardbox, my problem is that i dont like that the mailman or my neighbors know what's in the package , also prices are going up and were getting less, this is obviously an attempt by hot toys to save money , well i got news there's a company called inart that's coming for you hot toys.....

[@JustinsCollection]

True that is an issue!

[@UltimateCarnagez]

Was it just me or was your batman ankles super loose to the point he can't even stand ? I just received my batman figure and his ankles are super loose i can't even have him displayed on the base the way i wanted to because he just leans forward and on top of that the pole is super loose in the peg. i would love to hear from you if you had the same experience thanks! Also writing to Side show about this issue !

[@JustinsCollection]

Mine aren't loose, its just that he is so heavy they have to do a lot of work. He will of course topple over at this size on articulated ankles. You just have to spend a bit more time working with him to get him standing, it is possible. Most of the poses at the end of the video did not even use the crotch grabber
