Re: Hot Toys VGM Series Batman: Arkham City - Batman Collectible Figure

Also, seeing that Backstage makes me think of how cool it would be to see a figure come together over a period of time: the sculptor sculpting head, sculpting of the hands, of the suit, the painters at work, etc. ultimately culminating in the release of the finished Specs+pics.

Would anyone else like to see an alternate unmasked head for this? Even if it was infected, it'd still be pretty cool, same goes for if we get a Joker, it'd be cool to have both diseased/non-diseased heads.

I would love an unmasked Wayne head released with this. Not infected would be my preference but infected would be better than no unmasked head.

Re: Hot Toys VGM Series Batman: Arkham City - Batman Collectible Figure

Yeah, I'm not sure I'd like to have anything with the 'infected' look either. I was thinking about this a while ago when thinking what different types of faceplates they could include if they went down the swappable faceplate route, and an infected version seemed like an obvious inclusion though not one I would want or use at all.
Apart from Batman's usual stoic expression and the odd grimace here and there I couldn't think of any other obvious expressions that would warrant the face-swap feature. Obviously it's just wishfull thinking on my part right now for that feature anyway, but I really hope HT include it. In fact, it should be a staple feature on all future Batman releases!

I was browsing on ebay and found this custom head:

Looks pretty good in my opinion.

Yeah, when I first saw that head on eBay like 2 weeks ago, I was surprised. The likeness is great.

That head looks excellent.

The only alternate head I would want would be Bruce Wayne.

I don't think it will happen, but how awesome would it be if HT could do all of these?

They were able to do alternate costumes from Res. Evil 5, after all.

Its not as nice in person. I bought it a few weeks ago to go on my Moe custom, but it arrived with a nasty air bubble on his lips, very noticeble seams on the sides, excess flashing, etc. Its a very poor quality sculpt IMO. I couldn't believe the seller thought that casting was acceptable to send out. And he even had the nerve to carve his name on the inside of the head. He takes time to do that, but doesn't care about the horrible air bubbles or other problems?

Needless to say I returned it. Still waiting for it arrive to get my refund. The seller will not be getting a positive on ebay from me, I can tell you that. Had to pay return shipping an an item he shouldn't even have sent out. I'd totally avoid getting that head, especially with the HT one coming out and needless to say, superior to that one.


As for Joker, if HT makes him, he will for sure come with 2 heads - sick and normal. If he doesn't, that means HT is just milking us for a second Joker later. Again, thats a big IF, if he happens at all.

Too bad that happened to you. It looks really good in the pics, but that must have been the proto pic.

I'd only want a battle-damaged, don't want Bruce Wayne, Beyond would be a dream figure for me.

Hope HT gets all the overdue ones started soon so this can start in 2013
