HOT TOYS - DX15 - Batman Returns KEATON BATMAN

[mister_e]

It's kinda cruel for Hot Toys to keep dragging out the official announcement for this figure. I think we've gotten the specs and release info for all figures shown at SDCC except for Ripley and Batman Returns haven't we? And of all of those, none have been "in progress" anywhere near as long as Batman Returns. It's like they enjoy teasing us.

They are running out of stuff, now, as far as the Con circuit goes. What is left, now? Just the Ripleys? I think we'll see it soon. I wonder if they won't try to make it their last Batman product before the New Year. That way, they can say "as part of the 75th anniversary of Batman, we are proud to present the long-awaited Batman Returns Batman collectible figure," whereas, in 2015, they'd have to come clean: "we are proud to finally present the Batman Returns Collectible figure after leading you on for close to four years...just like your old High-School girlfriend."

She's just saving herself. For the right moment. Honest!

But seriously, this is looking a lot like a Christmas PO. Which goes with the tone of the movie, so it's cool.

Question! Will you PO DX15 immediately or wait for a coupon?

Immediate PO for me.

 

[YankeesFanboy]

Unless there's some really compelling reason to PO immediately, like an awesome exclusive, I'll probably wait for a monthly code.

She never promised me a Batman Returns figure...

I thought this today!

Kind of ironic that the figure should be from a movie called Batman Returns, when it ain't returning.

 

[DiFabio]

My rewards points will get me this guy for free, whenever they decide to put him up.

Or maybe we'll get Lerner from Platoon afterall. They did plan to make him at one point.

 

[DiFabio]

Lerner before Elias. That'd be Hot Toys alright.

 

[YankeesFanboy]

Christmas PO. Ripped cowl with killer Keaton likeness, four mouth plates, working glider cape. I pop open a Penguin umbrella in my pants and the holidays are a huge success!

Those figures were such beauties. Hated selling them but I just saw no point owning them without Elias.

December 2014 preorder (2 years after Howard's "coming in December 2012" BS)

December 2015 release?

 

[Bo Shrek]

Well see this proto Batman next year at SDCC. Trust me.

 

[vito81]

I'm really a Burton's Batman fan...but I'm starting to question myself what's the point of get only Batman if I know there won't be Cat and Penguin...

 

[YankeesFanboy]

Well see this proto Batman next year at SDCC. Trust me.

There better be Catwoman and Penguin protos standing next to him.

 

[DiFabio]

Well see this proto Batman next year at SDCC.

With a new inclusion, an unpainted prototype batarang!

Yeah progress.

 

[Ropen]

I don't mind them taking their time to perfect this figure before it goes into production. The only thing that sucks is the wait time for it to be in my hands.

December 2015 release?

Thats my bet too. Christmas 2014 to close the 75 anniversary. The arkham Batman will do until I have this one.
