Hot Toys - MMS 799 & MMS 800 - Batman & Robin: Mr. Freeze 1/6 Scale Collectible Figure

[Uncle Bingo]

Are you unhappy with what Mars has shown so far? Figures like Catwoman (special suit), penguin (body shape), and Freeze (mech suit) I can understand wanting HT or Jazz to do, but I think Mars did a great job on the Riddler and the Two Face proto looks great as well. Can't imagine HT doing it significantly better. I'd rather have them take a swing at Catwoman/Penguin/Batgirl, since a cheaper 3rd party is unlikely to do them/get them right.

I only buy licensed stuff. I think the Mars Two-Face proto looks good, but I wasn't that thrilled with either of their 2 Riddler headsculpts.

Mars is great. I love them. I wish they could move faster though.

I pretty much buy first out of the gate, as long at its good. For instance, I didn't buy Eternal Catwoman as I didn't feel it was strong enough... but I did buy their Penguin (which I think turned out great if you like to work a bit on your figures). I still plan to buy JazzInc's Penguin deluxe set too. The Bat-villains usually have a couple different looks so you can get away with getting doubles at times.

Going for the Deluxe since I’ll spend $30 on a custom base if I go with the standard anyways. Waiting for some points to become available by next week before I PO at SS.

I prefer licensed figures but if a third party is the only option and it’s unlikely a character will be officially made I’ll go third party. Plus oftentimes the prices make them easy to justify.

For those that POed Mr. Freeze so far, did you PO Clooney as well?

Preordered both Clooney and Mr. Freeze (Standard) last night. Have been waiting for this to happen for ages.

 

[BoricuaHec01]

I’m just contemplating cause I’m maxed out on space for my remaining PO’s

Shame Batman and Robin don’t include their ice skates and hockey sticks, with the big diamond.

This figure has made me more intrigued to actually get all 3 when I originally wasn't planning on getting any. My brother and I just have such a strong nostalgia towards this movie no matter how bad it actually is. Really contemplating getting them but idk. I'd probably trade Clooney Bats in for a good Panther suit Kilmer Batman.

I ended up ordering all three, I was going to way, but frankly with Mr freeze, it’s about that time either way.

I’m a sucker for Batman and robin dual figs, We need Batgirl at this rate. I’d never thought I’d see a Batman Forever duo, especially this one. Now I can say I will own the original four Batman’s and that’s something I guess.
DiFabio’s fine, the dude sells Batman hot toys on ebay, I’m pretty sure he’s highly aware of this figure LOL.

That scene was such ******** lol. They just appear on the bottom of their shoes like magic. If it actually worked like that where it literally was inside their shoes, that would be uncomfortable as ****.

It's silly, it's unbelievable, it's impractical - but it's fun! And I love it!

This is why I love the Schumacher films. They're not trying to be serious or realistic. They're goofy and silly and colourful and over-the-top, and if you let yourself go and enjoy them, they're just good clean wholesome fun.

We already have so many dark and serious Batman movies to pick from and enjoy, so it's great to have a couple of goofy/fun options too. And honestly, I don't get why some people can't enjoy having a fun/cartoony version of Batman in their lives. Not every single iteration of the character HAS to be dark and grim and serious.

I can enjoy a Schumacher Batman just as much as a Nolan Batman. Like I can enjoy a BTAS Batman just as much as a TBATB Batman.

Do people not like fun anymore? Is it over?

 

[CollectorGuy]

I caved. I went ahead and preordered this guy. Got the standard one. He's just too unique and it's Arnold of course. My favorite part about B&R tbh. Not sure how i am going to pull off the usb lights inside the detolf though.

Oh i enjoy watching the Schumacher films a lot. I mean i know the Schumacher films are inferior batman movies, but i still somehow find myself watching them more often than the Burton and Nolan films. The same way i prefer the more fun Batman Begins to The Dark Knight.

Edit: I grew up with the batman movies. Even more so for BF and B&R as i got to see those films at the theater. They were hugely popular at the time and there was so much fun merch. I had the toys and those cool mugs that McDonald's made. Hell there were even B&R poptarts! As a huge Schwarzenegger fan seeing him as Mr. Freeze was amazing growing up.

Like MCU nanotech.
