Hot Toys Announce Batman Returns License

[DiFabio]

Oh, I see. The vehicles.

I reckon they're about to unleash the 1966 Batmobile specs/pics for preorders.

 

[Mike86]

Call me crazy.. but I hope DX15 will be Batman (returns armor).

I honestly have a feeling that's what DX15 will be. I think there's something holding up the release of these figures and that Hot Toys has been holding off announcing a DX figure for over a year because maybe they're keeping to the pairing of the DX Joker's and Batman's. Then again you never know with Hot Toys what exactly they'll do until they do it.

Dammit, I really want the announcement of the 66 Batmobile and yet I don't. Shelling out big money for items like that sort of sucks Until you actually get the item in hand and while your wallet feels emptier you don't care

 

[DiFabio]

That's true. To date, yeah, there have always been Joker and Batman releases back to back (01/02, 08/09, 11/12, 14/??).

Mime Joker's unique black and white look is kinda Returnsesque, but that's a bit of a stretch.

Plus I think if Hot Toys had another DX figure in the works they would have already just announced it as the DX15. That's why to me it seems like it might be Batman being paired with The Joker again but that there's some sort of a delay with the Batman Returns figures.

Hasn't HT announced a DX figure non-sequentially before? Wasn't the DX7, DX8 and DX9 annouced out of sequence?

Why would they hold up the line if there's trouble with a particular figure, just bypass it and announce the next number.

From sdabbs...

Don't know if it's just a figure, or he's going to sell several of her.

Yeah, Joker was shown before Luke and Batman if I remember correctly.

Well they must not have something they deem DX worthy ready yet at least then. This line along with maybe Back to the Future and their next Star Wars figures are probably the most DX worthy figures on their plate right now. It's been about a year since the DX14 was announced so they must not have much in the works for the line at the moment.

From your link somewhere… Thats what saddens me with actors. Like Michelle… https://variety.com/2014/voices/new...-actors-struggle-to-stay-relevant-1201217741/

I see more and more actors quickly getting phased out. No upcoming projects and nothing really huge in ages…

 

[DiFabio]

I doubt they care though, every actor has had their 15 minutes of fame. They're lucky they got to where they are.

Devito looks like he's having a great time there. That exhibition looks cool as hell. Every car, every suit, every cowl, every villain, I'd spend hours in there.

 

[vodoun]

DeVito is just so awesome though. Especially the Louie De Palma days.

 

[batfan08]

Makes me wish I lived in California; hell, makes me want to drive there. $54 for the exhibit's not bad; I'd even slum it, Tom Hanks style, and sleep in the airport; it's the $800 odd dollars for a round trip flight that's insane.

 

[a-dev]

My insanely optimistic prediction: both Returns Batman and Catwoman will be revealed at SDCC.

(Also, Sarah Michelle Gellar will come to my house and give me hugs.)

Someone actively fancying SMG in 2014?......OK cool. I can go along with that. I too would accept hugs from her.

 

[batfan08]

I'm sure Freddy Prinze Jr. would have no problem with a simple hug.

From what I've seen of Sean Dabbs's work, he is insanely talented. We'll be lucky if we ever get something similar from Hot Toys. This could easily pass as a high end official figure.

Not sure what it is about SMG but as other celebrity crushes have come and gone for me over the years she's always remained. She's 37 and I still think she's quite the adorable hottie.

And it really, really pains me that we've never gotten a truly good 1/6 version of her. The best likeness ever done was the Sideshow PF (which I have) but none of the 1/6 stuff is any good at all. I keep hoping Trevor Grove will unveil an SMG custom someday along the lines of the excellent Bryan Cranston headsculpt he produced, or maybe some other very talented sculptor on this board will take a crack at her. Or Hot Toys could always pick up the Buffy license...though the impression I've always gotten is that Buffy never really caught on in Asia.

Maybe I'll ask him. Mr. Prinze, may I hug your wife? I promise I'm not crazy. Also, there are too many states these days. Please eliminate three. And that picture of me shouting at clouds was taken out of context.

 

[batfan08]

He may even hug you himself, if he feels you need one that badly.

Please tell me he wants to sell this...

That's... That's Hot Toys quality!
