1/6 Hot Toys Batman Forever Batman (sonar suit)

Why is there never in hand photos before Sideshow wants to charge these days?

Sideshow's way of battling the HK resellers. Guts their US market if by the time it releases in HK sideshow is shipping as well. Even if it is a smaller first batch

Let’s see em

Looking forward to seeing these. The older Batman films seem to escape the off-putting mass-customizing mania that surrounds the Nolan trilogy. I hope these are good enough for that to remain the case.

Oh you just wait until ppl start posting all the suit repaints of these, new cowls and new capes

You’ve besmirched the honor of my family and I demand satisfaction!

I’m already planning a Clooney chin and Ice Armor overlays.

That would be really cool.

I mean, I've got every Bat at this point either owned or preordered....except Clooney. If a conversion kit was around, I'd have to get it.

That would be really cool.

All jokes aside I may make an Ice Armor suit figure as a one off and sell it for charity

Instructions added to sideshow. Looks exactly like the proto, which is a win in my book

Wait, this was never solicited with posable eyes was it? That would be a major change and a huge win if done well.

Whoops I guess it was never mind. I could have sworn I saw a close up with painted eyes a while back.

Yes, it says so in the specs. They just oddly didn't point it out in the official pics like they normally do.

"Newly developed Batman helmeted head sculpt with separate rolling eyeballs features"

Oh cool it’s posable and swappable eyes for the sonar eyes, that’s pretty cool

I guess the photo you saw could have been an earlier prototype? They took them to various shows a good while before they put up the official PO if I remember right.

Wow, so basically a hybrid of the DX19 Bale and BvS Affleck cowls in terms of eye movement. Pretty ingenious.

So I guess DX09 Keaton and Returns will forever have a panel in the back of their heads.

I don't see any instructions about chin swapping so they definitely didn't add that feature I guess.

How are you going to make Ice Suit Clooney and Audition test Bale?

Yeah, last time this happened was Ashoka, and she showed up not too long after that. I also got a request to pay for my order from a licensed seller here in the states.

I’m curious if the reason isn’t because of the scalloped design of the Sonar chin window. I’m not holding my breath for a Panther suit Bats, but, if we did get one, I wonder if he’d have alternate faceplates on account of the more traditional chin window.
