Oddly, this thread is available when googled, but not when searched for in the forum

It's literally the entire site. If you go to a user's profile and click "Find latest posts" and it can't find any posts for anyone.

Any thoughts on whether this will actually be released?

 

[Chopper Face]

I think they will- because I want them to...

So they make these as actual suits with an articulated body inside right? But the rubber makes it practically impossible to pose them; so, seeing as the suits are basically just beefy, naked male bodies, why not create the whole thing like a Phicen figure? Literally the entire suit could be a sculpted seamless body and then you just add the cape, belt, gloves, boots and cowl in their appropriate materials.

I’ve never handled a Phicen body but I know they pose well. How do people think that would hold up over time and would it be a lot more costly then making these the standard way?

You ARE powerful.

...as the Emperor has foreseen.

Now I want them not to make it.... just to piss off Taser Face.

You mean those Phicen figures don't have an articulated plastic body inside? I thought it was a rubber skin over a plastic body. So it's like a solid one-piece bendable body?

I?m pretty sure those bodiless have a metal endoskeleton

 

[Cap'n Cook]

Can't see this happening.

 

[DiFabio]

I can if it's a two pack with Batman.

Were the 1966 Batman and Robin figures released separately?

Yep. Robin didn?t sell as well, from what I saw. Maybe a motivator for HT to make these a 2-pack.

If they ever happen.

Funnily if I?d been into collecting in the same way as I am now (back then I just wanted an Iron Man and Bale Batman) when the 66 came up I?d have more likely sprung for both Batman and Robin than I would definitely need a Forever Robin.

Nostalgia aside, I have much guilty love for both the 66 series and Batman Forever, if I really wanted a Schumacher era Batman and Robin it would be the Forever main suit and the Nightwing esq Robin from B&R.

Could all change if/when they ever go up for order.

I really hope they do. Soon

No- as was stated -they?re built kind of like a Terminator with a very slim metal endoskeleton wrapped in rubber or silicone flesh (whatever they?re made of.) I just think that technique would make sense for this sort of character design and most articulated areas would certainly be less impeded without the hinderance of a plastic figure which is essentially being restrained and confined by the suit.

I can?t post the latest photos from the D.C. all stars event but the robin looks updated or is it just me? Chest seems more puffed out and wider.

Interesting...yeah one of the first things I noticed when I saw the initial prototype was how flat and deflated his chest look...if they updated that I certainly haven't noticed, but I'll be on the lookout now.

Damn he's looking good.
Definitely want him & Kilmer Bats
Hopefully the pre-orders will go up once the show has finished

Looks like they're actually using real leather on the cape.
