Hot Toys Announce Batman Returns License

[Uncanny Web-Slinger]

^ my only gripe with HT is retreading the same characters instead of making new and fresh ones, and Arkham City is certainly not short on great varied characters that'd make great figures

Jim Carrey Riddler would be hard to pass on. Tommy Lee Jones Harvey Two-Face could be pretty cool as well, depending on how Hot Toys made him.QUOTE]

I am with you there. I think I'd be in for a Robin from forever too. NOTHING from Batman and Robin for me.

It would be awesome to own all movie versions of Batman, all standing next to each other.

That would be pretty epic but I try not to admit that batman forever and bat and robin were ever made. Absolutely pants both of them! Even though a Carey riddler would be hard to pass up.

Right now my only interest is batman, returns and Arkham city. I'm too late in to start getting the begins and TDK.

Hot toys better make an awesome Catwoman, surely all dolled up in her outfit with mask on should be doable? I'll cry if they screw this up, been waiting for one for years!

I can honestly say that I would love an Arkham line that reached the level of content that the Resident Evil lines had.

as cool as it would be to line up 3 batmans with their 3 respective jokers, i hope joker doesn't come first. i'd rather see some other rogues for a change. the AA scarecrow would make for an awesome figure. killer croc too.

 

[batfan08]

But Scarecrow wasn't in Arkham City, and Croc was only in it for about 30 seconds.

crap. i keep forgetting it's arkham city and not arkham asylum.

 

[batfan08]

Yeah, it'd be cool if they announce an Asylum license after the AC figure hits (a la 89 and returns).

But Scarecrow wasn't in Arkham City, and Croc was only in it for about 30 seconds.

There's a hidden scene where Scarecrow's shipment comes to Gotham presumably for the next game, so it wouldn't be that big of a stretch to include him in the Arkham City series.

Those are my only two Batman licenses, i'm hoping for an AC Catwoman, as for BB/TDK there's no shortage of figure to choose from on eBay

crap. i keep forgetting it's arkham city and not arkham asylum.

The license might inlcude all characters thus far

 

[batfan08]

I hope that HT maybe sees this as their cue to maybe let up a little on Nolan Batman (sans TDKR). I really hope they give the Arkham line a chance to flourish and don't just call it quits at one or two figures.

Let's not get a head of ourselves here. Personally, I think Hot Toys' game plan for this year will be the following, in order,

- Bane
- Catwoman

- Nicholson Joker Civilian (whatever that is, they said it's almost done)
- DX 2.0 Joker (whatever that is)

- New TDKR Batman
- Tumbler relaunch

------------- By August/End of Summer ------------------


- Batman Returns
- Catwoman
- Penguin

- Arkham City Batman


- Relaunch Batpod? (seems logical, maybe out in time for a DVD release of TDKR)
- Planned Batwing and/or The Bat (they're planning on a Batwing of some kind, in some form or fashion)


---------------- 2013 ------------------

- '89 Batmobile released

 

[Wor-Gar]

I can imagine how Catwoman is going to look, HT style.

But Penguin, I'm much more interested in seeing what HT does... I'm just so curious about the fatness, the expression, the layering of the clothing, will the top hat be real material or plastic?, working umbrella?, will he come with a penguin?, etc...

 

[DiFabio]

I want to know about his hair. Sculpted or "real".

How would the monocle work, how many umbrellas would they include, if it's a DX, how does PERS work?

 

[darkchylde80]

Personally I'd love to see Harley Quinn from AC as well.

I do like the BB and TDK but not as much as Batman and Batman Returns. I was very young when I watched them and I just fell in love with those films.

I could have sworn I saw a post somewhere that showed a collective leaked shot of the Returns figures from Hot Toys but it could just be my age, senior moment and all that

I won't be surprised if they are only able to release 4 batman items per year.

The best way to imagine the Penguin (too date) is too take all the elements of Sweeney Todd (head sculpt color, clothing (vest, jacket pants etc.), color scheme) and make it shorter and fatter!!!

This is the one figure I am most excited about moving forward!!!

 

[Uncanny Web-Slinger]

Articulation in the fat suit and removing layers of clothing from the figure will be the trickiest part
