I agree Fiend. I am keeping hope alive that the Returns figures will be shown at SDCC.

What's disturbing, as evidenced by the teaser, is that even 60s Batman has some prototype figures now.

Meanwhile, the Batman Returns teaser from forever ago has....a promo poster. :(

There is hope....

"Hot Toys is very excited to be firstly unveiling the prototypes from a number of licenses at the convention."
 
Showing a teaser of one license isnt indicative to what's going on with another license. Hell, them showing the '66 stuff before Returns doesn't even mean it will come out before the Returns stuff . When it comes to release dates, teasers, interviews and license announcements its best to take it all like a grain of salt when it comes to Hot Toys. There is no rhyme or reason to how they do things.

If more members could understand this, they're be way less anger and panic about HT business model.

While I have been collecting this stuff for a very short time (less than a year), it becomes quite apparent as time has gone on:

Basically anything Hot Toys says about anything is 100% open to question.

The Hot Toys business motto: "Over-promise and deliver whenever." Got it! :lol

While the results are the same, I somehow don't think HT sits around scheming up ways to torture collectors. No one wants to hear why delays happen. Or why it takes so long to get something into production. Or even why a license is purchached and it takes so long to get a figure out. No one knows how they operate or why they do what they do. They really can't win. If they announce nothing, many would freak out about the silence. If they were to announce 10 figures in one day, many would go nut asking how they expect collectors to be able to afford all those at once.

We all have different likes and disikes in collecting. They can't possible make everyone happy all the time.

:goodpost::lecture

I don't disagree.

Also, it would be one thing if their end product was faulty, but almost 98% of the time, what they do deliver is fantastic, despite the nitpicks which exist in every form of collecting.

Yep. I learned from void years ago that even as particular as he is with all the batman stuff, he still thinks HT are @ 95% spot on. Some people just have higher expectations. And thats ok.
 
I'm just watching stuff on youtube about the batsuits and how they redesigned it for Returns to have that art deco look.....damn it.....the more I look at it the more I want one to go along with my 89 Bats. There's another $200 or I'll have to spend.

Fingers crossed for some info at SDCC......
 
By the time it comes out (if it ever does), I bet they charge around $300 for it.
 
They need to do four heads.

Cowl with black eye makeup.
Cowl with no eye makeup.
Keaton head w/no scratches on cheek.
BD Keaton w/scratches.

$399.99

Always hated how the black around Keaton's eyes just disappears for the shot right before he tears off the cowl.

What else can they do? If he took it off with it on he would look like this.

The same situation applies to the Nolan universe. They never showed Bales face right out of the cowl. In Batman Begin, after he sedates Rachel, he takes of his cowl but the camera is behind him.

Easy. Keaton could have turned away from Selina and grabbed the cowl and they could have inserted a cutaway shot to her face so there would be no jump cut.
