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

Here's the exact quote for those who don't use Facebook:

05 I am very excited by the announcement of the characters in "Batman: Arkham Asylum"! Do you intend to release female characters like Catwoman or Harley Quinn?

Of course we want to release a lot of characters! Although we could not even promise you a release of Harley Quinn, we have plans to release at least three characters. Speaking of Harley Quinn, she is one of our early work on "Batman:Arkham Asylum" of course. About Catwoman, she is not the taste of many of us, we have not decided yet... Also, we will release her from "The Dark Knight Rises" movie.

Awesome news! I'll happily pick up Arkham Batman & Joker! Harley Quinn is a maybe for now, have to see how she turns out.

Good news. It's good to see they actually have plans for the line.

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

I'd MUCH rather have a Catwoman, but since this will be the only time Hot Toys can make a Harley I guess I can deal with it. I'd rather have more characters from different media, plus they will probably make another Cat for the Batman Returns line. This is Harley's one chance.

I just want Bat 'n Joke. Tho I don't want AC versions

I never really understood why there was so much love for Quinn in the Arkham series. Do I think that she's great? Yes. Do I think that there are much better characters in the Arkhamverse? Hell yes.

As I mentioned before, I love Quinn as a character, but outside of the HQR DLC, she was utterly useless in the games. What is so great about her, and what makes her so worthy of a figure when the likes of Scarecrow, Freeze, Two-Face, Ra's, Catwoman, and, hell, even Penguin are out there? Is it because she complements The Joker?

she's an awesome character but not in these "Arkham" games.
I'm also DO NOT like her AC outfit at all.

Key words being 'from what i've seen'
She's gonna kill it as Catwoman.

the can't announce both of 'em cuz Cataway sales would... unrise.

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

Another Bats added to my collection! I'm wondering what the third figure might be? I doubt it'll be a joker.

Poison Ivy? Mr. Freeze? Two-Face.

I'm not crazy about Quinn's design from the game but I'll wait to see the figure.

Glad that this isn't just a one figure line.

Personally im hoping for a Mr. Freeze.

Ive always been a huge fan of him, and thought he is a really deep character with alot of story potential. Its a shame that the Schumacher adaptation soiled his reputation so much.

I wish it was the Arkham City Quinn, but the interview clearly said Arkham Asylum.

Mr. Freeze would be awesome.

My choices would be Mr. Freeze & Joker for the two remaining slots

If I understood the FB quote correctly, it's going to be Batman, Harley Quinn and (without saying) Joker.

Agreed, however, I'm kind of wondering if this won't be two lines, like RE4 & 5, etc.? It seemed like he was saying that they couldn't promise an AC Quinn, but she was one of the first AA figures. Though, I suppose we could just chalk it up to another case of miscommunication. I'm in 100 percent agreement, though. an HT AC Freeze would be a dream come true for me.

Mr. Freeze would be amazing to see in 1/6 scale from Arkham City. That suit is just so cool considering how well the DC Direct figure looks.

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

I am thinking that Batman & Joker are sure releases for this line, and the 3rd is either Mr. Freeze or Hugo Strange.

I'm hoping they pick Mr. Freeze!!!

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

Mr.Freeze with alternate broken and unbroken dome covers, LED lit suit, gun, and goggle head would be incredible. Over the top awesomeness would be in the form of an alternate goggle-less head and a removable exo-suit.

A Mr.Freeze could be one of the most elaborate and coolest figures HT could make, and if done well, could be a masterpiece.

It will be one of the best releases in 1/6 history!

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

I was really hoping for Arkham City figures.

Not really big on Harleys nurse costume but I couldn't resist it either.

The villains I want... badly, are Two Face, Mr Freeze and The Riddler.

I prefer the suit from AA anyway. Replaying it right now. Such a badass game.
