I've owned the MMS version of the dark Knight suit, I've owned it the DXO2 suit and now I only have the DX 12 with a custom mouth plate. And a custom cape. I'm completely happy with that. That's why I didn't see a need to try to get the armory version or this new DX19.
I have both the DX19 and the Armoury sets. If you're a stickler for accuracy I would recommend the DX19. The subtle improvements to the suit - detail is sharper, more tidy, and it's a lot more poseable now. The improved height, physique and body proportions round things off nicely. The cowl is awesome, as is the likenesss to Bale in both the eyes and face plates. The only downer for me is the Bruce Wayne sculpt. The likeness still isn't all that great to my eyes. The paint apps are soft and the skin tone is off with it being too tanned, though in fairness, yours appears to be lighter than mine.
I think that the DX19 is the best The Dark Knight 1/6 figure out there. The portrait or headsculpt is way superior compared to the armory and the DX12. I have always thought that there was something off about the armory headsculpt in regards to Christian Bale likeness, of course it was even worse with the Dx12. The DX19 head sculpt is spot on.
You didn't put the DX19 cowl on the Armory body. I grabbed one for $60 and it totally transformed the DX12 (already had a custom cape) - and it scales better with older TDK figures. I have my Armory Batman in HK jump mode with DX02 pack and base.
I have the DX 12 I also have the DX19 too because of all the changes. the body and proportion, the newly head sculpt and the sonar head sculpt that we didn’t get from the DX12. DX19 is better imo. 👍
interesting thank you, i dont have another version of the TDK suit so i think i will keep the DX 19 even it's not perfect, perhaps too beefy and the base without led but with the emplacements...
DX19 is my 1st Batman figure from the Nolan Batman Trilogy. Therefore, I needed it in my collection. I also have the original Batman Begins suit figure on pre-order. Finally, I have the 1/4 scale on pre-order too and can't wait to see it in person. If I had those previous figures, me personally I'd sell them as the improvements on the DX19 justify having the newer version and don't need multiple versions of the same figure in my collection. So far, I have the 89 Batman, The Batman Returns version and the 66 Batman in my collection. Currently have the Val Kilmer Batman Forever on Pre-order and plan on getting the new Robert Pattinson version of Batman as well. Batman is the one character I've loved over the years growing up and want to have in my collection every version of Batman that I've enjoyed....except that George Clooney version in Batman & Robin. That movie was in my opinion an abomination. Can't even force myself to see it on TV, just like that Spawn movie....so atrocious.
@@optical20 to my knowledge, there isn't a Clooney Batman from Batman and Robin (not that I'd want to own one if it existed). There's the Val Kilmer Batman Forever version currently on Pre-order, which I think looks great and I fairly enjoyed the movie as a kid, not so much now, but it's still decent.
@@optical20 Thanks for the reply, sadly i already sold my armory coz i thought DX19 body wont fit inside it, maybe ill just hunt Alfred soon - really appreciate the info

Honestly after a few months. I kinda regret getting dx19
@@optical20 sell it why it's still hot 🔥🥵
Put one mask in the hand or in the feet of the Batman without mask headsculp…
So: some things better, some things worse. In the end, a tie?
Pretty much. The best thing about dx19 IMO is the cowl, EMP, and sonar eyes

To me it’s the abs. Dx19 has the belly guy again like mms 72. It’s hot as bad but a downgrade to armory IMO.

I hope someone sells a third party backpack
InArt is coming out with their own The dark knight bale batman in Q1-Q2 2023, now the question will be do you need InArt if you have Dx19 haha
Lol I need every bale Batman

Definitely a huge improvement

Thank you for watching Tony.

Lol I guessing you are a Batman fan.. just a guess. In fairness that Clooney hot toys Batman looks pretty good. The movie though lol.

Great review, comparison videos are very informative.
Thanks Paul!
I have both… the Wayne HS on DX19 reds a Body. Do you know what body would work??
Do they sell Bruce wayne head sculpts for the DX02 dark knight Batman ?
you might find one parted out in ebay
Great video!! I just have a question, where did you get the Bootleg Batman for the armory ? Thank you :)
eBay along time ago. From this bootleg armory kings studios I think.
i just have my dx19. may i know if the headsclupt of dx12 may fit on dx19's body ? thanks.
I am sure it will. Sorry don’t have dx12 anymore but armory is so close to dx12
could the DX19 fit inside the armory? - nice comparison review
Yes it could
@@optical20 Thanks for the reply, sadly i already sold my armory coz i thought DX19 body wont fit inside it, maybe ill just hunt Alfred soon - really appreciate the info
Your dx19 figure does not have the crotch failure.
That sounds painful
