Yup I'm sold on this one. It's like Knightfall Bane's physique combined with Nolan Bane's design, certainly a different artistic rendition of the character which I don't mind at all.

*muffled* I don't sleep so well Batman! I've got sleep apnea!

stupid mushmouth Bane and his stupid apnea mask.


...It's clear that I don't care for the movie version of Bane, right?

Wow...

The official photo made this figure looks slightly better than the con pics. Slightly.

Wow so much hate for this figure! I don't mind what Square Enix is doing here, hell they look nice if one was to look at them as different artistic renditions of the characters. Batman looks much better with the paint than when he was initially revealed (looks like they changed the size of the head so it looks in proportion.) And while Bane's musculature is somewhat exaggerated from Tom Hardy's actual build, it's not obscene enough to be a turn-off, rather it now looks like a combination of Knightfall Bane's musculature (original comic version) along with the movie's design.

If I want a realistic Bane I'd go for Hot Toys but since I've already pre-ordered that one, something a little bit different like this is great (not to mention they'd work well with the Arkham figures too.) Interesting thing to note is that PAK Bane happens to have the most accurate colors in comparison to other figures of Bane and that includes the Hot Toys version.

Arrrghh the joints....look....so...terrible.....must...get...away..from....arrrgh
How many joints did they put on him? Way too many! HoT Toys version ftw!

Shame that he's so HNNNGH beefy. That, and joints look bad (as typical for Play Arts Kai figures). I could have a nice Bane figure*. He's the best thing to come from the Nolan-verse, after all.
(* - not counting the ones that cost an arm and a leg and are awfully big, that is)

Saw the painted version on CYBERGUNDAM and still not impressed. At least Bat look a lot better in color.
