Hot Toys Announce Batman Returns License

[a-dev]

You have nothing to apologize for. I often make jokes that I hope Iron Man 4 includes a storyline with Tony Stark destroying China, just so it pisses Hot Toys off enough to stop making Iron Man figures.

Its a little known fact that the character Tony Stark despises the chinese

Spread the word.

China will just censor the crap out of that story line and make it look like it happened in Vietnam.

Yeah! The day when Robert Downey Jr. stops making Iron Man films. Sorry, just had to give it one more go. Needed to vent. Honestly I enjoy IM films but just don't like the favoritism going on from HT.

Total box office Batman Returns:

267 Million

Total box office of movies were RDJ played Iron Man:

2.6 Billion (doesn't include IM3 final total, just opening weekend)

Hmmmm, wonder why the favoritism.

In the comic books wasn't it a Chinese dude who helped him build the first IM?

SSSHHHHHH!!!!

I think it's almost official.

Anytime you want an Iron Man update these days, pick a thread.

ANY thread.

Anywhere.

I just returned from the custom shelves thread, got some Mandarin news while I was there.

Skewed stats. You are comparing 1 movie to 2, and not adjusting for inflation. And even with inflation, BR by itself wouldn't compare to 2 films. Not to mention, I don't think either IM was that successful. That breaks down to each film pulling in $1.3Billion. And since neither outgrossed TDK I find that number suspect.

 

[RyanSD]

I'm sure that number includes the Avengers....

I still have a little hope that there will be news/teaser/something at SDCC about these.

Sorry buddy but your comparison is wrong for the following reasons:
1-You can't compare 2 films plus an opening weekend for the 3rd and a record breaking team picture of super heroes in the peak of computer effects to 1 underperforming special effects batman film.

2-The dollar value from 1992 compared to 2013 isn't measurable due to economic rise in costs and standard of living.

3-If HT was playing favoritism due to ticket sales in China, then I would expect to see a 1/6 scale of Jack and Rose from Titanic by now. Or 7-10 variations of Avatar figures.

No, can't understand the favoritism. I lost count in how many designation Marks have been and will be produced by HT.

And several of each one, accounting for BD variants and 2.0s

I might head over to the SSC Vader thread then & read up on some Pepper Potts goss.

 

[DX12]

Seriously. HT should just rename their company to Tony Stark's Hot Toys & Co. aka TSHT&C

Guaranteed the Iron Man intrusion forum-wide is 90% negative sentiment towards it.

 

[VintijDroidGutzz]

You know what really annoys me though?

Folks are sick of it all - sure, BUT THEY KEEP TALKING ABOUT IT.

In just about every thread.

 

[Hydeous]

How cool would it be to see DX batman returns, cat woman, penguin, Han solo, Marty and doc at this year's SDCC. And also mark III DX die cast

I'm alright with it. I hope it gets back to Hot Toys and they do something to pacify the rest of their fans. HT wasn't founded on Iron Man figures.

You just hit the nail on the head. Hot Toys have been over promising and under delivering for a lot of their already scheduled releases only to be put on hold for Iron Man. If they stayed on schedule no one would be ranting. People are talking in hopes that they will hear the fans. Do they care? Probably not, but voices cannot be heard in silence.

Folks are sick of it all - going off topic, BUT THE MODS KNOW THE FRUSTRATION OF IT ALL AND JUST LET THE FANS BLOW STEAM.

In just about every thread.

I think of it as a uniting experience right now. Instead of hating on each other, every one is just hating on one thing. Better this way than individual attacks. At first I didn't mind but as more news and more releases has pushed off my preorders the more annoying it has become. If the hate messages can speed up my preorders, I'm all for it.
