It is great, but I think he's got the same problem as a lot of customizers. They simply don't have the materials available to accurately portray the suit. Everything else is great, but, even though the patterns are correct, the material just doesn't convey "Arkham" to me.

I think so, too. It's very hard to customize a good Batman because of lack of available materials. The same can be said for several of his MGS figures as well.

I saw a pic on OSR, recently, and I'd say that about 11 of the 19 products teased earlier this year have since been revealed, so, hopefully, they aren't too far away. I think we'll see the Man of Steel figures next, and, hopefully, these will be ready for Ani-Com. I'm cautiously optimistic, but I'm not going to play into their hands again.

Let's say we do get a reveal soon, what would be the safe estimated wait period until we finally get the figure in our hands? These Hot Toys takes longer to finish than a construction project!

I don't care, so long as I get to see what it looks like. I'm one of those collectors that gets excited about knowing what I'm getting, I'll be pretty excited during the PO period, but that dies down, and then, once the figure arrives, it explodes and I'm at the pinnacle of my very own excite-o-meter.

Once SS, BBTS, and AE start taking money, that's when I get excited. I'm hoping we get this reveal no later than SDCC.

Or to have a child.

I was just a college student when the MGS license was announced. And we've still only got two figures out of that line .

Hot Toys take longer to come out than John Travolta!


This is the part when you say "Ba-Dum-Tissshhhh."

What's the point in releasing this now that the Arkham Origins release date is just several months away.

I think it's a must for release as so many people want it and joker. Also city batman looks cooler than origins IMO

Ummmm, because Arkham City is awesome, and the designs are completely different? Also, I'd assume that, since Batman was teased about a year ago, and, since Joker's almost complete by the looks of it, they probably don't want to throw away all of that R&D.

They're getting into the habit of announcing things and then waiting so long to put the up for order or release them that by the time they do there is a sequel not far from being released.

Arkham City / Arkham Origins
X-Men First Class / X-Men Days of Future Past
Amazing Spider-Man (eternally delayed) / Amazing Spider-Man 2
Prometheus / Prometheus Paradise
Avengers Iron Man released after Iron Man 3 came and went

Maybe bats and joker are mms 200 and 201? Then again could be man of steel.

 

[batfan08]

Re: Hot Toys VGM Series Batman: Arkham City - Batman Collectible Figure NOT REVEALED

I'd be happy either way.

I think the new film incarnation of Supes would be more fitting of 200, personally. Batman as 200 would be cool too, but it seems like the Joker always comes first in the numbering system. At least, that is how all the DXs are.

Re: Hot Toys VGM Series Batman: Arkham City - Batman Collectible Figure NOT REVEALED

Buttmunch has me wondering if the two Arkham figures won't be DX releases. Since, thus far, since its inception, the DX line has been home to every Batman and Joker release. That'd be something. DX 15 is Returns Batman and then DX 18 and DX 19 are Arkham Bats and Joker...

Yeah, that's true, but, like you said, that was a Con exclusive.
