Hot Toys should do keaton batman

[8th wonder]

Maybe we can start a petition, i think they will listen. I know there are great custom figures around but it would be great if HT made this!!!


They can make 2, one from Batman and one from Batman Returns.

I can't believe they haven't. Obviously the market is there, I just think the rights are a little tougher to get. Keaton will always be my favorite Batman.

Well with enough positive reactions they might do it, so if this thread has reached a good amount of reaction i will email a link to this thread to them.

If you're trying to gauge interest on a Keaton Batman, I don't think this is the thread you should be linking to...

I'd love for HT to get the license just so I can get some of the other characters from the film to go with my Sovereign Bats and FML Joker.

I WANT BOB THE GOON!!!!

good point

Definitely don't think its a question of want, I think people are aware of the need for this figure (much like Indy) but it does seem to be more of an issue with getting the rights to make it. Luckily for us Shawn makes an excellent custom figure

WB is notorious for not wanting to dilute their licenses. They are all about promoting the Nolan Batman franchise and it's unlikely they would want Burton Bats stuff out there.

But HT should ask - can't hurt. Shoot, I'd even buy a Ahnold Freeze and TLJ Harvey Two-Face.

Well, that's kind of random, isn't it Dave? I mean, everyone knows there were no Batman movies after Burton's. (Hugs self and rocks back and forth).

Who does the custom Keaton Batman that I've seen on these boards?

 

[Animal Mother.]

Sovereign Studios?

 

[plasmid303]

No thanks, I'd rather see them do TDK first and foremost. And I'm fine with Sovereign Studios' Keaton Bats (whenever it decides to arrive...)

 

[Cocoboloboy]

Alright. You guys have left me no choice but to do this.

SOVEREIGN STUDIOS BATMAN PICTURES!

No offense intended here, but seriously I do not like that figure. What's up with his mouth? I has the same problem that Keaton had in the Batman Costume, no chin. It looks like he is getting ready to kiss someone.

Hey don't bash the figure because you don't like the character design or poopie face Keaton from the 89 film. Shawn's Batman is imo spot on Keaton, pucker face and all.

I love the Joker figure, but the Keaton eyes look too close to his mouth - I knew he was no oil painting but the figure makes him look deformed.

I too would buy two Keaton Batman figures if HT made them. As regards not 'diluting' the licences, this does sound like plausible corporate assthink, but plenty of other licences combine 'classic' and present day characters where a franchise has had changes of cast, or look, or been resurrected after a while.

Not bashing it, just saying it's not my thing is all. Glad that the people who liked Keaton can enjoy him on their shelf. I have an Adam West Batman, so I guess I shouldn't talk.

"the Keaton eyes look too close to his mouth"??

You mean like in this photo?

I guess Mobeill can. But he's not a Keaton Batman fan so he doesn't count.
