Hot Toys: Batman 85 Years Announcement Speculation

[0tigadark0]

Guys it still September and Batman day really does not kick off until the 27th so I am still hopeful of something big from HT. Plus Batman Begins is 20 years old next year so I think they are going to tie it into that as well and start ramping up the figures to celebrate properly.

Very exiting times for us DC fans indeed!

There is a post going around overseas, saying that HT will come out with a BB scarecrow with cillian murphy head-sculpt. So, let's wait and see....

I believe it, though a 3.0 of the Begins suit isn’t very likely, at least not so soon. The latest version is still available on SS.

I personally don’t understand what people want from Hot Toys regarding that suit? Just pick up a matte finish version, custom cowl and cape.

They aren’t going to make a good cape for it,
they aren’t the best at Bale faceplates.
The only real improvement they’d be capable of is a more accurate cowl, but that can be purchased from OT?

Can I see that Scarecrow post?

Also can someone explain the significance of September 27th?

I wish HT would just give the DC license to someone else because it's ridiculous how they treat the property. They give us random characters like Black Manta from Aquaman 2 with no Aquaman. As much as I'd love a comic Batman or an accurate 2.0 Begins Bats, I know they'll never do it.

I really wanted a new Aquaman.

Dr Doom gets a comic figure but not Batman on his 85th birthday.

There is none, I was just mocking HT for their as usual weak efforts with the DC license

The fact that 85 years exceeds the 75 year lifespan of a property should be cause for concern.

For Batman day we got 2 repaints. Now it's Monday and it's back to Disney stuff. I'm so glad I started collecting statues in 2020. I got all the DC characters I want thanks to prime 1, sideshow, and tweeterhead. I recommend anyone that is a dc fan and hasn't jumped ship to statues collecting to do so. You won't regret it.

My wallet would.

I've recently started collecting statues, myself. But, the 1:4 and 1:3 stuff is huge by comparison to a 1:6 figure.

I think unless you have a lot of real-estate to work with, a venture into statue collecting might end soon after it begins.

Why haven’t they announced the Batman & Robin figures yet? They had the perfect opportunity with Batman day. Do I have to worry that they never will come out?

As poorly as HT treats the DC license, I am very confident that the Batman & Robin figures will go up for PO at some point.

Don't worry yet I say.

Because that movie sucks and so do those ugly nipple suits.
