1/6 Scale 'Slaughter is the best Medicine' Semi with exclusive Joker!!!
Seriously though, those dioramas are pretty cool, but why did they need 3?

When HT puts out more Batman stuff it will probably be branded with TDKR logos and such. There's probably an embargo date they must wait for before they can announce or release anything that ties into the new film.
Besides, why wouldn't HT wait for next year's marketing push? Let WB spend their money building a frenzy and then jump on their coattails.
The exception to that might be DX Joker II which would likely still have TDK branding. That could be announced any time.

Just a little freaky
I wanted to do an RC conversion on a Hot Toys tumbler but I couldn't justify the cost so I converted the Tyco Tumbler instead...enjoy!

I was going to do an RC conversion of a Hot Toys Tumbler but couldn't justify the cost so I converted a 1/6 Tyco Tumbler. Here's a link to it: 1/6 Scale RC Batman Tumbler Mod - RC Groups
Why? This is clearly another hint Joker will appear in DKR played by JGL. Joker 2.0 wont be a Ledger Joker.

There are photos of Joseph Gordon-Levitt on the DKR set without face scars like the TDK Joker everywhere. Are you saying he's playing a copycat type Joker or something?
My guess is that the black Tumbler will be re-released just like the BB Batman figure was in higher quantities...there is high demand! And I don't get why some folks believe HT owe them anything if they release an improved version of the Tumbler (suggesting it's a betrayal to the first release purchasers). HT released a product and you bought it, end of story.
There is no reason for a company to not target current owners and new owners with another release...after all, they are a business.
If you had it you might sing a different tune. A huge item like that I cannot justify buying again for a few improvements, yet, I admit it, I will be envious of those who have the benefit of the improvements. It will leave a bad taste in the mouth should HT pull something like that. But hey - some people object to it being rereleased AT ALL. Me, I don't care if its rereleased but rerelease it exactly AS IS otherwise, rightly or wrongly, owners of the original will feel like they've been dealt a low blow - their version is now inferior.

If manufacturing technology has improved though, why not release a new and improved Tumbler.
To evolve is only natural, you name it, humans have improved it.

A 2012 Mercedes S class is going to be different with more options than a 2008 Mercedes S class.
Inferior is the byproduct of moving forward and making progress.
HT could release a new Tumbler every year if they wanted to, like an Iphone.
They can do anything they want. I'm just explaining my reasons for being p!$$ed off about it if it happens. Monk said he didn't get why, that was my answer.

True, but we are talking about an item that is marketed as a "collectible". I would never believe my current generation iphone will be worth anything in the future!
Yep. If they were being truthful they'd have this on the box:
'Movie Masterpiece* Series'
*until the next one we do which will be an even mastererpiece
Like the original Batman Begins costume figure? Which was recently re-released with upgrades and probably in higher quantities (still in stock btw)?
Also, what does marketing it as a collectible have to do with a better release down the line? A collectible is simply something you choose to collect.
Question - Have you ever collected figures outside of HT (e.g. Star Wars)? This happens all the time! I am not naive enough to believe that HT is in the business of creating rare collectibles for the aftermarket.
What improvements do you want to see on a new Tumbler? Or wouldn't you be just as happy to have the same one I do?

You fell for the marketing
Believe me, I get the reasons why current owners would be pissed, but I missed out so please release a new and improved Tumbler HT
Why do you need improvements? What so wrong with the original from only 2 or 3 years ago?

That part i'm joking about, I would be content with the same as the original release.
But just incase they do "improve" on it in any way, please don't be pissed at me for buying it and then saying, "wow, cool improvements!"
Be pissed at HT

it may be in stock, but the quality of it sucks. The suit has many errors to it, which I think take a lot away from it, thus making the original release far superior
