I had previously kitbashed Bruce Wayne here, but Gordon's post at OSW about his score at Century Hobby in Hong Kong (location) got me wanting to snag the suits that I had previously seen on pre-order during my last trip there.



Many thanks to my dear sister who visited HK this week, and scored me these two suits, making these kitbashes possible.









This kitbash uses the Bruce Wayne head that came with
Hot Toys The Dark Knight Batman.

Hot Toys Batman Original Costume.



























I only know of one online retailer that sells these suits, and here are links to the grey and black suits.

   Wow, I love the black pin-stripe suit. Very nice. If only I had known, I'd have asked you to get me a set and I'd find a way to pay you back. heh
   
   Nice find! I can't find those suits here, not even the Saturday Toys ones!

   Nice suits!
   
   I suggest you treat the suits with starch & iron them, the results will be a lot better!

   @roy: There's still hope, the only online store listing these for sale is toys2.net at this link. But shipping may be a killer.
   
   @marcus: eh, any online tutorial? Might end up overstarching and burning the suits.
   
   @kenny, arthur and des: Thanks, really happy to score them.
   
   @nick cheong: They cost HK330 each.

   Your sister rocks Shaun! I'm impressed with the tailoring on those suits. Now I'll have to add these to the shopping list as well, hehe.

   @amithi: thanks, while they may not be available in Europe, they can be purchased from somewhere geographically closer to you.
   
   @michelle: Yes, she does rock. Hope Ken's shopping trip works out.

   Hey Shaun
   I have both of the recent Hot Toys Bruce Wayne heads and I was wondering; should I purchase a Caucasian or Asian body to go with them?
   
   Also, would all the bank robber Joker and Harvey Dent go better with a Caucasian body? All I have are Asian bodies and nothing to reference.
   
   Any advice would be awesome

   Hi Gabies,
   Caucasian body - Bruce Waynes and Harvey Dent
   Asian body - Joker.
   
   Hope the info helps. Though if all of them are going to be in suits, the difference in skin tone should not be much of an issue.
