The teaser for a Con Ex. BD version coming this summer.
As great a job as Hot Toys did on the sculpt, I think the Billiken kit deserves kudos for being there long before HT. I saw the shot above and thought it was the Billiken kit, not the HT figure, HT got teh ears a bit nicer, but they're both quite close to each other.
Here's a shot of an old Sovereign custom that used the Billiken kit.
Very nice kit, was it posable?

Nice Kit
Here was my custom by Sovereign, it's funny I thought that the likeness was great at the time, but comparing it to what Hot toys has done, wow how unique HT's made their version spot on!
That's one of Shawn's later Batman figures, during the Great Run of 2008-9. His early ones (2002-2005) are really the best, back when he used casted cowls from the Billiken kit. Once he started sculpting his own likeness, like the above, it was over.
I know I have the earlier ones as well,with the casted cowls but it fell apart a while back. The glueing was bad

Oh, that sucks. But hey, you got the perfect HT one now.
I'll hang on to my Sovereign as a piece of nostalgia, but he won't be in the display no more.

Looks awesome. The Billiken is still bad ass and it was from what 1990? I think the kit got the look of the pants much better then the HT.
Actually that figure looks frikkin phenonemal! Amazing it's that old. Holy shhhhht

Yep, that was my Sovereign Batman. I sold it a while back after the Hot Toys announcement. I kind of miss it. It served it's purpose. Made me happy for a while.
I woulda been more than happy. It looks great man.
