Hot Toys: Batman 85 Years Announcement Speculation

[Solidus]

HT announcement for a 85th anniversary is non other then Black and Gold Arkham Knight Batman Beyond Batman. Smh I'm not suprised literally something not a single person asked for.View attachment 726101View attachment 726103View attachment 726104View attachment 726105View attachment 726106View attachment 726107View attachment 726108View attachment 726109

Do I need a gold-colored Batman Beyond figure? No

Will I get a gold-colored Batman Beyond figure?

Spoiler

No

 

[Nick D]

If you’re going to focus on Arkham Knight for the Anniversary, you could have at least made Hamill Joker 2.0 with the alternate sick portrait and Scarecrow instead of the typical color experimentation.

 

[Solidus]

This is so weird, what's even the purpose of a fully gold Batsuit? Is Bruce Wayne laundering his gold in creative ways to avoid paying taxes?

 

[Johnny Utah]

This obviously isn't it for the reveals.

With the event starting on Friday, the fact we know Returns 2.0 is coming as well as B&R figures, I'm not going mad yet.

These look ridiculous though.

 

[DioramaMaker]

Welp if no one else is interested, then I should have no problem picking up Batgirl.

I liked the original figure actually.

But I am a SLUT for shiny purple stuff. I actually think this looks better than the original tbh.

They're actually gonna get me to buy that figure twice.

 

[Dave_W]

They should have done a '66 Batman colour scheme if they're doing a '66 style Batgirl. At least that way they both tie into Batman's history.

 

[MrConor212]

That Batgirl looks great. Was gonna buy the prior version but didn’t bother as I wanted to see if we got anything this month

 

[Frenchy]

Just a bunch of crummy repaints I guess. Woo hoo.

I like how in the photos they try to hide the crotch and the joints. Where is Nightwing or Robin ?

 

[chrisstbh]

Can't wait for the InArt hot pink The Batman figure.

 

[EdViler]

To think my wallet was worried for the announcements ...

Shush, little wallet. Hot Toys gonna Hot Toys ...

 

[Johnny Utah]

I love that no one bothered making threads for that new junk.

I do like Batgirl's colours but sucks they've not updated the headsculpt or given her proper wool hair this time. Typical lazy Hot Toys.

All I wanted was a Hono Studios comic book Batman and we get these crappy repaint no one asked for.

I wish they would change the crotch seals.

 

[ScoobyDoo]

I was right. 0 hope.
This company hates DC and it always shows.

I actually prefer this to the original Black & gold version.
Something about the purple that helps hid the unsightly joints of the previous release.

Might be tempted depending on price but fully agree these 2 announcements have been seriously weak & there better be something amazing to follow on from these

There’s that useless repaints of old figures I mentioned. Never change Hot Toys.

 

[Mike86]

I like the new colors on Batgirl. The gold Batman is just ugly though. Not sure why they bother with stuff like that when it seems like most collectors don’t want to buy stuff like it. I’d have loved a new Batman from Arkham Asylum or a 2.0 from Arkham City.

Those are some lame anniversary announcements

Those are some lame anniversary announcements

Agreed but I am still hoping for better announcements (like a HONO comic Batman) later this week.

After seeing this and knowing how Hot Toys usually is. My advice is don’t get your hopes up mate. You’ll be doing yourself a favour.
