Hot Toys: Batman 85 Years Announcement Speculation

[lordnastrond]

Seems like cillian murphy's scarecrow is coming, with HT's halloween themed event?

I keep hearing people saying this rumour - any idea where this is coming from, any reliable sources?
I would be delighted for it to be true, but part of me thinks it might just be hopium following the disappointing 85 anniversary announcements [and lack thereof]

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.

I personally don't have a ton of display space, but statues bring about a less if more approach for me unlike the smaller scale that invites buying more and more, especially characters I may not have as strong of an attachment to just to complete a certain line up. Statues ideally make one think more on the purchase since they aren't as easily sold off as figures. I know that I will currently sell off nearly all my 1/6 before I let my statues go.

Both scales have their pros and cons though.

Yep, a lot of overseas social media posts are discussing

There is a reliable source poster from overseas social media, who often gets correct on upcoming figures.

What Halloween event of theirs?
It desperately needs a 2.0.

What Halloween event of theirs?

Not sure if its a live event, but HT did post a story about a halloween themed thing which they are kicking off with the new zombie death trooper that they've just announced.

Just for some clarification, the overseas poster that was mentioned posted this back early I think this year. I tried a automatic translation and it goes as the following: (Note: this a automatic translation, so some might not be translated correctly)

tomhardy, harleyquinn rooted hair, scarecrow with cillian murphy headsculpt, mk80, garfield, 92 keaton, arkham batman beyond, arkham batgirl color change, samurai predator, don't know true or not.

So far a lot of it has been correct??

Really need ‘97 Batman and Robin to go up for preorder. They’re the type of figures Hot Toys would totally end up putting in Hot Toys unreleased prototype purgatory.
