Hot Toys Announce Batman Returns License

[Uncanny Web-Slinger]

Really hoping they say something about this line before Christmas.

They'll probably say "Delayed"

 

[a-dev]

No they'll say ''Coming Soon''. But they'll mean 'delayed'

As much as I'm sick of the rehashes we do need a quality 1/6 BB suit. I mean they need to do a complete over haul. Re-do everything. The suit, boots, gauntlets and most of all the ****ing cowl. Just copy EB's.

That last one was a piece of ****.

It was!!! I sold mine, even stating the fact that the ankles were going to give up any minute, and I got almost $450 for it!! Amazing what people will pay for that piece of crap that the toy fair Bruce Wayne is. My gain.

And yes, they should just scan and exactly copy the EB one in 1/6.

I love Back To the Future, but I don't think BTTF is toyetic enough for figures/collectibles at all.

A 1/6 Marty and Doc? Great character, love them both, but they're no soldier/superhero/robot/cyborg/alien/comic book film/sci-fi character. I don't think they lend themselves to this sort of stuff at all. Maybe legos. I have a Hot Wheels Delorean, that's good enough for me. Despite loving the movies (especially the first one), I never played "BTTF". I played Batman, Star Wars, Terminator, etc.

BTTF toys.

wut.

I rather play with myself.

Great movie though.

Only reason I sold that was because I'm counting on Hot Toys to make him.

It's gonna happen...no doubt

I am willing to place wagers on the new Star Wars movie being released before we even see pictures of this license! Who wants in?

How about some Penguin love instead.

Batman Returns, another great superhero movie directed by Tim Burton! We are here proud to present this movie license to our fans!

The 1/6th and 1/4th scale Collectible Figures will be launched in late 2012. Please stay tuned!

Batman Returns - Yes the Batman and Penguin figure will be announced this year around December.

 

[VintijDroidGutzz]

Thanks for that.

Oh Awesome!! Looking backward to it!

I hope it got canned personally. That way, there isn't the slightest urge to buy any of them.

It would also mean wasted $$$ on R&D because they clearly were in production/prototype stages if they planned to reveal for December of last year.

I'm serious. At this point, I'd rather just have a small '89 Batman collection with the Batmobile and variations/options of Batman and the Joker.

It feels like that ship has sailed for me after these past two years. If they ever got to doing them, AND they were indeed DX, they'd be $300+ smackaroos. Forget that. I mean, what does that say when Mattel beats Hot Toys with a release of Penguin and Catwoman?

I'm hoping they cancelled it. We'll never know though because their communication to the fan base is horrid.

But will you actually be disappointed if they do show Returns figures at this point?

 

[Psycho]

couple pictures i did with my DX09, but with Returns backdrops...

It would depend on spec/pics. After seeing how they've handled the '89 line and 60's line in the extras/accessories department, I bet their Returns offerings would be pretty plain. Id est, none of the things we want like alternate Keaton head, glider cape, Penguin heads/clothes, etc.


Nothing will ever top this excitement as far as a Keaton Batman goes,

I don't think that 2 handed grip is even possible on the production figure^

Yeah those were pretty amazing pics to see after nothing but customs for all those years.

PERS doesn't look as good on the final figure though. It gets away with it but to my eyes there was a definite disimprovement from proto to final product there.

 

[VintijDroidGutzz]

They'll make the BR stuff eventually - you guys fret too much.

It's a goldmine - why would they drop it?
