Didn't they share the rights for Indy and Star Wars?

I sort of doubt that they make a Nicholson Joker for this. DCD, Mattel and NECA won't pull the trigger on the likeness license, so what makes people think Sideshow would?

To date, Hot Toys seems to be the only one that has ponied up the cash. They're making their Jack Jokers exclusively pretty much. I know they're partners (Sideshow and Hot Toys), but do they share paid licensing rights?

The Joker seems unlikely.

The partnership is pretty much Sideshow assisting Hot Toys in acquiring licenses.

If it's the EX I'm sure you'll be able to make your money back and more by the time the Keaton Batman PF comes out. This hobby is all about timing and as you mentioned since there is a higher ES for this statue the immediate demand won't be through the roof like those with a lower ES, but this Keaton PF is just being hinted at and no where near being released so you have time. Sneeks usually lead to a long wait period...heck nowadays an official preorder date leads to a long wait period. Regardless of ES this is Batman we are talking about and anyone who is collecting statues 2 years from now and are into the DC line will be drooling for one of these...but please be nice to those folks if you do sell aat a later date as too many folks tend to take the rape and pillage approach for anyone looking to pick up an older statue.

In short IMO you'll be able to easily make your money back by the time this Keaton Batman comes out because folks who picked one up just to flip will have sold theirs off by then making the availability much less months after it's release and again we are talking about one of the most iconic DC super heros in existance so the demand will be there. Also this way you have a Batman in your collection and don't have to worry later if the Keaton Batman doesn't fit the bill for your preferences.

Now can I get you to talk to my wife? Great logic though and thanks!

You can never have enough Batman. I have the comic PF coming and will be getting this for sure as well. Can't wait.

Bring on the 1/4 Scale 1989 Batmobile!!!

Imagine how big that box would be

 

[RobertoBagg10]

Imagine how big that box would be

a lot bigger than the Hot Toys 1/6 Batmobile box!

lol on your own there buddy. I have enough fun trying to explain to my wife why I get what I get.

 

[CollectorNC]

Thankfully, my wife digs the Keaton Batman. When I told her I might have to sell the 1/6th ones for funds she was sad. haha.

 

[RIDDICK]

I wouldve preferred a definitive bale version...

 

[steveo]

Just saw this today. I passed on the HT 1/6 Batman, but I will probably not pass on this one. Depending on the photos of course, but the tease looks awesome!

That's what she said.

 

[brucecamblzchin]

Basically the verdict is that if you are a cool person then you're getting this PF. And if you are an uncool person you aren't.

I...guess that makes sense.

 

[brucecamblzchin]

It's science.

 

[Maglor]

Wonder how this will compare to Hot Toys 1/4 scale Keaton. Is that still happening?

 

[brucecamblzchin]

It will be more better coz its a PF.

 

[BurningRage]

Neca has a 1/4.

 

[JAWS]

So will this get released before the Comic Version PF??
