I think it was supposed to be something of an "ongoing narrative" type deal, across a series of movies (helping to tie them together while also providing thematic insight on the individual movies), sort of like the "Tales of the Black Freighter" of narrative-within-a-narrative of "Watchmen"...

Is "Hermann" like an inside joke I don't get? I don't remember it being a name in the comics or the movie, so what is it referencing?

Re: Hot Toys Batman Forever Robin Really no reason at all not to give him batarangs. I don't think we saw spike bombs in "The Dark Knight," but all of Batman's TDK figures came with them. The mods really need to change the filter settings so that we can say "****," even if it's only changed...

But I think the difference is timing and environment - the market was a lot more interested in Bale Batman 5 years ago than it is today. So it could support that kind of multiple re-release strategy in a way that I don't think it could now. People have moved on to other Batmans and other...

I'll be passing on this figure, since I don't see any significant improvements over the older figures that I still have - with the exception being the light-up sonar head, which might be superior to the current "giraffe neck" look of the DX02 (though it's not all that bad on the Armory body). I...

Because he didn't quit on the night Harvey Dent died. He quit sometime between then and "The Dark Knight Rises."

It strikes me as an odd choice for Hot Toys to release an armory at a later date. The TDK Armory was a huge accessory that came with a Batman figure. So it was a way to get a Batman if you hadn't gotten one already. Years later, I don't think the market interest is large enough to support...

First, the problem is not merely "MCU vs DCEU." There are some of us here - myself included - who don't really care about DCEU figures, because the DCEU by and large aren't that great. But there's no reason that Hot Toys can't deliver on the main characters from other DC movies, like "Batman...

I think "Batman Returns" is pretty great.

When the facts don't bear your opinion out, just keep repeating yourself and insist that you were there! Yeah, you were there....but were you lucid?

I am not your son and your repetition of incorrect statements does not make them any more true. Fortunately, we live in a world of reality and numbers - so rather than uselessly repeating yourself and insisting that you're right without any hard data, we can simply go to those numbers. I count...

They have not been "doing this since 09" man. Come on. Get your timeline straight. Hot Toys didn't become the major force it was until the the second wave of the "Dark Knight" MMS figures - which was a very diverse, non-Disney line - beginning with Bank Robber Joker. That began in 09.

Is this from a TV show? That collar screams "Dark Knight Trilogy" to me.

You're confusing the Hot Toys of today with the Hot Toys of the pre-Disney era. Hot Toys was a different beast during the Nolan movies... Ouch. Too soon, man. Too soon.

What is ST? Surely you don't mean Star Trek?

Re: Hot Toys – MMS 293 & 294 Batman Returns: Batman and Bruce Wayne (Keaton) Set You seem excited by it. That's what really matters and probably tells you what you need to know.

Yeah I'm not into vehicles, because they take up too much space, but I kind of regret not having the Batpod. It might just have been small enough to be worth it.

Re: Hot Toys – MMS 293 & 294 Batman Returns: Batman and Bruce Wayne (Keaton) Set Because Disney won't let them. Disney pursues a strategy of market-share dominance, and leans heavily on their distributors and merchandisers to align with them in pursuit of that strategy.

I bought the Daftoys Stock Exchange Bane from Ebay, but was sent the wrong one - they sent the original Daftoys Bane (with the same look/outfit as the Hot Toys Bane). I'm planning on returning it for a refund (since I want the Stock Exchange Bane and already have the Hot Toys Bane), but they...

I checked out the facebook page. There are some really nice looking figures on there, looks like top notch work. This is where I begin to have a problem. You say they are giving a discount - and on their page they talk about a "discount bonanza" for a limited time. But there's no actual...
