Hot Toys Announce Batman Returns License

[franpincho]

Well I know that you like 1/4 scale but I will just stick to 1/6.

My SSC SW figures are good enough but it will be interesting to see what HT do with the license. I imagine a few classic icons and a hefty dose of the new movies will be their focus.

Absolutely! Best of both worlds.

Yep it should be a win-win situation all round.

With the arrival of Marty McFly, I actually have more faith this might come around.

agreed

I know I'm in the minority but I'd be pretty happy with a clooney batman, its not even close to returns Keaton batman, but I'd still like it.

The catalog Bats image looks a bit out of scale compared to the Ironman figure. It could very well be a photoshop job and if so Plastic Ememies needs to F off!

Scale being a bit off doesn't prove anything. It's probably a composite image anyway. I doubt any of the figures there were photographed all in the same shot.

Clooney was a good fit ultimately, but that movie around him.. uurrghgugh..

That's a good way to look at it.

I actually said years before that Arnold would make a good Freeze. Now I'm sorry I ever put that out there into the ether. Although it wasn't just him, it was that crazy electronica light-suit... and his ice-capades hitmen.... and the lighting.... and Shumacher.

I originally thought he'd make a good Terminator-type Freeze with the Austria accent. "I must freeze you!"

Did the guy who played Toht ever do anything after Raiders? He would have made a sweet Freeze. Keep the Raiders glasses and just shave the rest of his head.

Arnold was great as a cardboard villain though - hey.. it was the 90s.

you know, a HT Clooney Batman would be pretty good - the first suit, that is, not the black & silver number.

I'm sure he did, but I can't think of anything of than the President in Buckaroo Banzai.


Arnold did what he was asked to do, and what the precedent was up to that point. Jack led to Danny who lead to Jones who ultimately lead to Arnold. The campiness just got amped up to Arnold's steroid level.

 

[VintijDroidGutzz]

If you're talking box office draw type names - sure.

They got Jack because he was a heavy cat - & he brought serious game to that role.

Arnold brought his muscles & his accent.

Plastic Enemies just posted some photos of Keaton in Returns on Facebook. Hint or wishful thinking?

Honestly, he wasn't as bad as Uma and her ridiculous pet, Bane. As much as I wanted to **** her, she was a terrible character that got eater by a flower.

 

[Johnny Utah]

Don't trust anything Plastic Enemies puts up. He lost any credibility he had years ago with the Noland fiasco. All he does now is get people's hopes up and repost what HT puts up.

Ehh, let's face it - the fourth film was the 60s TV show all over again, so the tone was perfect.

True. And Ivy was a new generation's Newmar Catwoman, where many a young boy tested out his plumbing for the first time.

 

[Hologram AI]

Plastic Enemies just posted 3 pictures of Batman from Returns. Either they're trolling us real hard or we're in for a real treat soon.

 

[Wor-Gar]

Ooooooooh.... this might be the BEST SDCC .... EVER!

Totally!! Uma was rocking that vibe something shocking.

That said, I'd buy a HT Poison-Uma without a second thought!

I must be on ignore in this thread.
