1/6 Hot Toys - VGM18 - Batman: Arkham City: Batman Collectible Figure

[Psycho]

I hope so! My only concern was that unlike Returns and Arkham Bats, HT wasn't bogged down by a DC Cinematic Universe like it is now (they only had Man of Steel and TDKR to work with). Between BvS and Suicide Squad, looks like they have a lot to cover that they just might shelve the 66 mobile and Arkham Joker. Like you said, who know? I'm really, really, really wishing I'm wrong! [emoji38]

Yeah me too man. I mean lately even with Iron Man figures it takes months for them to sell out. I would love for them to surprise us with an Arkham Joker soon. But who really knows besides Hot Toys. Hell not even Neca will make an Arkham Joker which makes no sense to me.

All of their Batmen have been statues, so I don't know why this one pushed so many people away. But no, everyone is all fawning over the new McBatman.

This one seems like it has better articulation though, but yeah, the others have been limited. Not sure which is the worst with articulation though, possibly Baleman because I can't get any poses out of that thing. West, and VGM Batman seem to have solid enough articulation, VGM being fine enough since I've replayed Arkham City and Bats didn't do anything too 'extreme' that the figure shouldn't be able to do.

Well, I think most people who had the Adam West Bats wanted a Romero Joker, but the line didn't do well enough to warrant HT to consider it. And yeah, it sucks that the Arkham Bats is one lonely Batman, all buffed up with nothing to do..

I feel like Arkham Batman has enough presence due to reasons you've mentioned, like his size and physique compared to the others, plus the fact that it's a video game based figure as opposed to the movie ones. But still, all Batmen NEED their Joker! This can't be stressed enough. I feel like I can put him on my shelf, and at the end of the day feel "fine enough on his own, but he needs someone." Especially given Joker's presence in the first two games. I feel the same way with my Baleman (and NECA Keaton Batman but NECA probably couldn't extend their license further), though I've accepted that I will probably never afford a DX11

Screw the Joker. Give me Arkham Mr. Freeze, Scarecrow and Bane.

With the Arkham series finished, I don't think we'll be seeing anymore figures for this line. HT just doesn't care about the VGM line, and it's evidenced that we've waited four years for Arkham Bats, when the popularity of the series was still very high .

In any case, that Clown figure looks pretty nice. I may have to pick one up later.

If they had announced pre order for joker I would have purchased this day one.

Now I'm just waiting for a huge sale.

It's such a shame...it really is. Considering the love they gave to RE especially (which is abandoned at this point)

With 3, yes 3 Batman variants, a new Supes and yet-to-be-announced DC cinematic universe figures, it's a fools' dream to wait for a figure of a 4 year old videogame.

It's still a fantastic piece by itself, with amazing shelf presence.

The VGM line is really unpredictable, I'm just glad we got this and Raiden.

 

[FSLAR]

It is still nice to see some DC love for HT with all the Marvel...but Ryan's right, it's almost a pipe dream. Getting Raiden is great but the VGM line, you can't predict it. Ever. I don't even know when we'll see another figure from the line. Maybe Arkham Knight in 2019 or something :

I received this yesterday and I was really undecided on how to would feel about it, but after I had it in hand I must say I really love it.

 

[Psycho]

Save who? You have nobody to save! No Joker, no Catwoman, nuthin'. Go back to brooding on top of the Spider-Man 3 diorama stand!

Nice shots btw.

Thanks man.... I'm just gonna go ahead and get that aclown, do a few upgrades to him and hope someday we get an joker... But for now he will do just fine... It's Joker so they know it will sell, It will come eventually question is when though...

He saved Vicki Vale for some ******** in the batcave later

There is no Vicky Vale, heck this Batman had to borrow Balebats' armory to hang his cape and rent the Keatonmobile.

The Numo head is a nice head to go along with it. I'll probably get that with the clown suit. Tired of waiting.

You mean this head? Just gotta find some better shoes that are close to his and get some gloved hands paint them an light greyish, and find a couple of guns for him...

Yeah that one, I think it looks better than the Clown head. I'll probably use the DX08 hands, though I have no idea of the shoes just yet. I plan to weather it too, as he's very dirtied up in the game.
