Hot Toys DX09 - BATMAN - Batman (Michael Keaton) - Specs & Pics

[MaulFan]

Where does it say these release in March?

Nowhere, probably guessing delays and expecting late Q1 release.

UK retailers like Forbidden Planet and FP International are stating a March release date.

Rewatching 1989 Batman and Batman Returns.

OH YEAH! After I pre-ordered this bad boy, I popped in 89 Bats and got double excited!

Right on the Hot Toys Community page, it says "release in March 2012" above each figure.

7 months? Thats quite the stretch, isn't it? Dang.

 

[COSMOSTARX]

Give them time to refine all the materials and quality!! Plenty of stuff coming out in the next few months to keep our wallets occupied yo.

I went with Viking Playground. There's a deposit on Joker, but this came out cheapest for me after factoring in reward points - ~$470 shipped, plus they're just a state over.

They've announced so much ____ this year that's yet to be released that there's likely no way it could happen any sooner. Hell, they've got announced figures from last year that they still haven't shipped.

I PO'd spidey in December and it was delivered in august so march seems reasonable.

They seem to be getting slower lately.

Kinda good. I've got so much I've still got to finish up paying, I can wait a bit. Our Bruce/Batman can keep us going till this comes out

 

[Uncanny Web-Slinger]

Thing is you can almost guarantee that at least two 4th qtr figures will be delayed, just like Tron Lightcycle and DX Jack were from 3rd to 4th

 

[Spanbauer]

The danger of these long delays is that you end up pre-ordering more stuff while you wait...which is exactly why they do it.

It must be a case of too many licenses and not enough man power. Well at least the factory that manufactures them can't move any faster.

Spidey went through many changes from prototype to actual release. The boots were changed completely and the webbing/spiders were done differently. Many changes = delays.

They seem to be getting slower lately.

Agreed. You and I know of the "3 months later" days. They be over I guess.

 

[quiggle]

are they going to release another character from the film, maybe Alfred, and have a Michael Keaton head exclusive with it like they put the T-1000 donut head with Connor

More Batman's and Jokers I'm sure; no one else is really figure-worthy.

 

[a-dev]

Dot com?....

Yep, .com. I haven't used .co.uk since their credit card leak. But .co.uk was the same aswell. I preordered the HT P2 Elder off them way back and they never got it. Had I known I could have tried to find it somewhere else.

Anyway, I ordered 1 of each. Tempted to get a second Batman but I won't rush ahead ordering another just yet. I did that with TDK OC and MMS71 and now I'm trying to sell them. I'll definitely stick to just one Joker since they'll make other versions.

At least it happened on such an important license for us

I can deal with a wait on these, they're real important so it gives me time to save and be secure with them. However, if HT EVER does BD T2 or Rambo 4, I'll be the most impatient mother____er on the planet waiting for those

 

[vodoun]

Look at what impatient hounding caused the last time. Release before Christmas that wasn't due until March. With a giant complaint thread to show for it.
