Have Hot Toys '89 Batman figures been confirmed for this year? Just want to make sure I'm in the loop

Word is we will be seeing them at SDCC. Not sure where that info came from but it was all the buzz last week.

 

[galactiboy]

Hmmm... hope that's true. Although I seem to remember seeing the Reeve Superman at SDCC 2010 was a "sure thing" according to many

What is odd is that the head is also different in the teaser image that has been floating around

https://www.rowm.com/images/News_Images/100921_ss_ig88.jpg

Why did they make the head so different to the ESB prop? (the irregular red eyes are also really different) and if it was Lucasfilm, why would they tamper with and revise the image of the character as he has been seen for 30+years? If it is to be based of a Clone Wars appearance then why not just claim its meant to be a purely ESB depiction and make what makes most sense to buyers?

But this doesn't matter to me at all because it is still a believable depiction of him, just with a minor style variant. I'm getting it because its an amazing looking IG-88, and a character that has haunted me since he chased me around while making those evil death gurgling sounds on Shadows of the Empire My Jawas are gonna have fun with this one.

Lucas is out of control rewriting his own SW history

Wow...coverage of IG-88 is seriously lacking from Comic-Con. I am pretty sure I see him next to Boba Fett in a few Fett pics...but I am surprised that there is no chatter about his display.

 

[Mad Old Lu]

I'm just curious about the speculated extending legs. So far no photos show that.

Yeah same, I thought the thread would be full of pics by now

 

[CollectorNC]

Especially considering it sold out in no time.

 

[furystorm]

I'll be taking pics of him tomorrow. But I may have to cancel.

[Batty]

Maybe it's the angle, but his legs look pretty short in that pic.

 

[galactiboy]

That is the unextended leg look... Hasbro kind of does the same thing when posed like that.

 

[Batty]

I forgot it's supposed to be 14" tall. Too bad they didn't have him displayed at full height.

 

[galactiboy]

I'm wondering if that part of the figure hasn't been finalized yet No pics (even in the product page) seem to show him at full height
