[vito81]

Launching Xmas 2012. Have some patience dude!

 

[DiFabio]

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

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.

I'm pretty sure Sallah made it. Could be wrong though.

I watched this movie yesterday

As did I (it's Christmas after all...).

I hope this does get announced. I missed the DX09 (joined the game too late) so here is hoping they are just a year behind.

It's not Iron Man. A lot of stuff is taking a back seat to Iron Man.

I'm new to the hobby but I'm seeing that. Iron Man must make them a ton of cash.

Being that the dx 08 and 09 are two of their nicest figs the wait for these has been horrible.

 

[batfan08]

It is kind of hard for me to understand how these have not happened yet. The DX 08 and DX 09 were, arguably, two of their most mass produced figures, and you can't find them anywhere, anymore (they're reasonably priced on the secondary market, but, nevertheless, HT's stock sold out). Particularly with that awesome Batmobile, it seems lik a wasted opportunity on Howard's part. These could've been big sellers.

Yup, that was me. Here was the "announcement" I posted with it-

Marvel’s Iron Man 3 is coming to town this month and Hot Toys is proud to present the 1/6th scale Batman Returns Figurines as inspired by the Iron Man 3 movie for the MMS Diecast Series!

Leading the MMS Diecast Series is the iconic Iron Man 3 Series, in which the collectible figures are made of diecast material, specially designed to look more closely to the realistic Batman Returns characters had they appeared as Iron Man characters in the movie. The MMS Diecast Series will bring fans to the next level of authenticity, focusing on the materials, fine details and engineering of the Iron Man collectible figures, while some of the parts can be shared between our MMS and Diorama Series for displaying together in 1/6th scale. More collectibles from Iron Man 3 (Batman Returns Version) will be coming from the MMS Diecast Series!

The almost movie-accurate Batman, Penguin, and Catwoman Collectible Figurines are highly detailed and fully deployed, specially crafted based on the images of Michael Keaton, Danny DeVito, and Michelle Pfeiffer in the movie (had Batman Returns been an Iron Man movie), highlighting the highly detailed head sculpt, metallic well equipped armor, light-up functions, and imagined scale!

Hong Kong fans can visit Hot Toy’s Hong Kong Official Store – Toy Hunters to pre-order on May 5-6, 2013 for VIP customers, and May 7, 2013 onwards for VIP and non-VIP customers.

Sallah

Instead of The Bat, The Cat and the Penguin with a spread out release date we got the Bat, The Bruce and the Butler in one luscious gift package,

 

[batfan08]

It'll happen someday, DiFabio. Just be patient; I've learned through the Arkham thread that there's no point in stressing over toys. It'll happen when it happens, and, in the mean time, we can just sit back and relax.

As for that set, I must admit, I'm pleasantly surprised by that Batman. I knew they'd release an improved one, but I had no idea that the turn around time would be that quick.

 

[DiFabio]

No, this and Arkham have been canned, you have to come to turns with that.


I bet we see,

- DX 3.0 Joker

- Lt. Gordon, Batsignal, Begins Batman

- Blake, TDKR Armory Cage, TDKR Bruce Batman



Before Returns and Arkham. You know it's true. This Batman is the only Batman that sells.

 

[Yodasodabo]

I was really hoping they'd announce these as the new DXs before the new year. I still have hope! Lol but it'll most likely not and I'll be anticipating them again next year around this time...

I think you mean "terms." With that being said, we know you're right about Joker, but, honestly, I'd love that second one if they did a really great job on the Begins version and made an updated Harvey Dent, to boot.

I still think we'll see both those respective licenses get their due, at some point. I just chalk this up to Mr. Chan saying "holy ****; we've got to milk that one dry before the hype train turns to Batfleck in a year."

Precisely- that is what is happening... DX12 and 11 outsold 08 & 09 by far. HT follows the cash cow

 

[DiFabio]

Yeah, I did mean terms. I don't know how I managed that. I'm on my iPhone.


And yeah, can't forget about Batman vs. Superman that's right around the corner. Forget about Returns and Arkham.

You're lucky the 60s stuff got to see the light of day.
