Hot Toys TDKR: 1/4th scale Batman [QS001] - Full Reveal & Specs

[Hologram AI]

I really wanted a 1/4 Bane....

Why make a new figure when you can just keep reissuing 7-10 year old figures with a brand new price for people to eat up.

I hope your wrong, im
Hoping hot toys still has enough integrity to not just bring straight re release of a figure, especially a nearly decade old one at that.
All the figure needs is some little tweaks to step it up a little like the gauntlets properly covering the gloves, new headsculpt & the suit material has kinda shown it’s age too on the original

I'm gonna assume you haven't seen the abomination that is the Batman Begins reissue figure that they're selling. Reselling a 10 year old figure with zero improvements besides slapping the boots and belt from the DX12 onto the figure and repainting the sculpt. Instead of rescaling and using the improved sculpt + molds that they have for the QS 1/4 Batman Begins figure, they just resell a 10+ year old figure and call it a day.

You expect too much from Hot Toys.

(This is an actual sculpt that's included with this figure..)

1/4 QS Batman Begins:

They really ****** up with that thing.

And where is my Ra's al Ghul for Christ sake

Missed out on the original so glad for the reissue.

Yea not gonna lie. While sort of bummed at first of the thought of a reissue. Now that I’ve mulled it over, I sort of want it, and it’s making me also look for a 1/4 Joker and the 1/4 Begins figure. I’m really just torn about which scale to go with. Either go into 1/4 with those 3, or go into 1/6 and end up with the entire line up OR stick with the idea of the Prime1 1/3 TDK Joker. My problem is, I’ve had the whole 1/6 lineup before and I really don’t want to keep on upgrading over and over.

Want my honest opinion? Skip the joker and begins figures. They’re really not that great.

Joker has a sub par sculpt. Batman has literally NO articulation and the sculpts for bale and the face plates aren’t the greatest...and seriously, no moveable eyes when you pretty much perfected it with TDKR QS batman?? The begins figure was a huge step back in every category.

I’d suggest going for the 1/3 TDK joker.

The only 1/4 figures I feel are much better purchases are TDKR batman, iron man, boba fett and Darth vader.

Seriously, skip the joker and begins batman. You’re really not missing out. I regret getting them.

I want the 1/6 batman begins but yeah it looks like a copy paste from way back.

Thanks for the honest opinion! You're probably right. I had the Enterbay 1/4 Batman at one time, but was so afraid of stressing the suit that he just stood there so I eventually sold it. Thanks, that was the slap in the face, come to your senses I needed

 

[Zurdo95D]

possibly re-issue or a 2.0?

 

[Zurdo95D]

A reissue with an added base perhaps?

I have this glorious 1/4 TDKR Batman, but if they offer the reissue with a new base (per the teaser), I wouldn't resist and may have to nab it.

 

[sj2106]

At the very least I hope they fix the cowl. It's the one thing that really detracts from the original. Just too long and narrow.

Fix that, make him a bit taller and give him a base without those dumb rocks and you have an almost perfect figure.

Still surprised it's only the Nolan verse figures that have been done in 1/4 scale so far. Keaton Bats, Reeve Superman as well as Batfleck, Cavill and Gadot trinity would all be hugely popular.

It seems HT don't dab into the 1/4 scale very often, but yeah those figures in quarter scale would be the pinnacle. I'd defs be interested in a 1/6 Reeve Superman. It seems a bit strange they didn't produce any of the Avengers (other than IM and Spidey) in 1/4.

When will this reissue be up for preorder?

 

[Dave_W]

 

[creasy]

Not had it a while but looks like a straight up rerelease with a wired cape & the base,with rhas& no doubt bane on the other side of the base.
Il suck it up & buy it tho

 

[Bgnyc007]

I’ll likely pick up to have a display with the cowl on and use the current one I have to display with the Bruce sculpt.

 

[Johnny Utah]

Hot Toys finally does Ra's and his head is stuck in a base.

For that to happen must mean they got Liam's rights though right? Surely they can make a sixth scale figure at some point.

 

[a-dev]

Considering that they keep returning to the Nolan trilogy all these years later - and considering the other characters they did make like Alfred, Gordon and John Blake - the continued lack of Ra's and a Cillian Murphy sculpt for Scarecrow is a major wtf from Hot Toys.

 

[Johnny Utah]

Imagine him from the party scene. Come on like.

 

[LVCIFERX]

This is the 2nd 1/4 for that version of the Bale suit. I'd love to ask Howard whether or not HT is responding to demand or if they're just outta touch at this point.
