After plenty of time to gather my thoughts DX19 turns to be my preferred one ☝️ it’s not by much as this video illustrates. What made me change my mind is setting the pieces in the display cabinet. Ended up liking how the DX19 looks better with Joker more than how the original DX12 does. Either do taller it’s not very much and looks good posed displayed together DX11 Joker-DX19 Bats. Sorry for the back and forth but was a very tough decision, as it’s not that much of an upgrade and quite a few downgrades. At the end of the day you can’t go wrong with either.
To me the sculpt with face plates of the DX12 looks more aggressive.. DX19 seems to soft, also same for the unmasked head for the DX12, he looks more angry 😁 What do you think?
For me , the head sculpt of christian bale from the dx12 is better 100times than the dx19 version.. the mouth slightly opened ,the eyes, the noise, the sculpt…This Dx19 HS reminds me Marty mcfly’s HS from the new BTTF 1 by hot toys ,same situation :Something’s wrong on the new one and the old one is better.
I like the new one better in hand. Paint apps and likenesses just comes across more like Christian Bale. Must say in pictures and video I didn’t like it at first and and can see where your coming from comparing to the Marty head. The DX12 remains to better a great piece.
When this was released I instantly wanted it.. however what has changed my mind is the base. I think they have cheaper out. Using the same mould, but excluding the light, same accesories and not fixed the gauntlets not being tucked in yet again when they knkw that's what people want. I'm thinking of the new Armoury from the dark Knight as I think the improvements are more noticeable on that figure imo
Good comparison video i own both like yourself ,always loved the dx12 till the armory bats came out and now that I have the dx19 it is the best in my opinion the cape finally done right and overall the figure itself is more movie accurate to me
The DX 12 has better articulation, especially in the abdominal area. You can get decent tilt side to side and crunch. Not to mention better bend in the elbows.
Your review give me doubts, especially for the price 😅 thanks i don't have the DX 12 or any other Dark knight figure...for me the reason of size the figure is perhaps to be perfectly suitable with the Bat-pod 🤔 the base is really a deception with the emplacements of the led for no reason, but i love the DX 19 cowl much more than the DX 12.
The DX19 is the definitive Batman for me. I really don’t think the newest ones are that much better and in some aspects, aren’t as good as the DX19. Ideally, I would just like to upgrade the head and neck with the OT Customs options.

It's exactly videos like this that allowed me to buy DX19 at such a low price, thank you.
You are very welcome 😂

Figures, the more modern they get, more clean and more soft at the same time. Probably easier to reproduce in big quantities 🤔

I put in a pre order for the new 1/4 scale Batman, it looks awesome and it's got the diorama base. I can't wait to get it in my collection.
1/4 scales are nice. But definitely don’t have the space unfortunately.
Fantastic review. Thank you for doing this. I subscribed!
Thank you! Really appreciate that.
This video made me laugh with the voices and I subscribed.
Really appreciate that 😃

Yeah that cape and the way the cowl head looks are quite better. Just wish he weren’t towering over the Joker since to me they are a pair.
Yeah think hot toys did that on purpose so they can do another new version of joker to give us 😄
@@LIAM0316 oh you know it!

Still holds up very well. That’s for sure.
What happens if you disassemble the base stand? Is led wiring still inside???
I didn’t disassemble the base. Seems empty to me.

Thank you for watching. I ended up keeping the DX 19 with the DX 12 base after much thinking 🤔
Is there a reason they don’t give you a hook style stand? These hook stands look like they wouldn’t allow much posing freedom
Hot Toys has pretty much always gone with the cheapest stands they could offer.
does the dx19 hs+mouth fit on dx12?
Pretty sure I showed that in this video. Don’t recall them fitting that well.
The DX19 is the definitive Batman for me. I really don’t think the newest ones are that much better and in some aspects, aren’t as good as the DX19. Ideally, I would just like to upgrade the head and neck with the OT Customs options.
Does the dx12 belt fit the dx19
Yes, thought i covered that in the video.
