HT Batman Begins - Batman/Wayne TF Ex.

[Y4NK33 PL4N3T]

I'm not sure it would be a profitable venture. Especially since most of the Crow psychos from the 90's have moved on to Ledger's Joker. Though I'm more than certain there's a small handfull of 400lb, unbathed, long haired throwbacks who still sport that a___ray-smelling leather trench that'd be attempting backflips if HT does.

Sounds like Nam is in on the Crow

Or just regular people . . .

Good movie. Better comic. Would I pay $150+ for a high-end collectible? HELL NO!

The same reason I never dug Crow collectibles is the same reason I never bought any HT Joker figures. Any interest I might've had was destroyed by the obsessed fanboys who latched onto Lee's death, not unreminiscent of today's Joker fanatics, sickeningly shoving it down your throat any and every chance they get.

Besides that, I always thought leather trenchcoats were too eurotrashy. I hate it on Cobra Commander, I hate it on Blade and I despise it on the Punisher.

I might try a backflip, but otherwise I thankfully don't fit your description. But I was never Ledger-y about it. I remember seeing an article in my local paper that cited The Crow as one of the landmarks for the Goth...I dunno, do you call it a lifestyle? .... and I had to ask someone WTF a Goth was.

But just to stay off topic, The Crow merch tends to sell pretty well for an old movie with no market presence. Neca regularly puts out new batches of it's figures and Brandon Lee's face is practically Hot Topic's logo.

I hope and pray every night of my life that no other actor will ever be allowed to play the Joker in a movie ever again!

Since you put it that way, I get it. That's the same reason I don't own a Joker. It's forever marred by a sea of Bat-noob jackasses who found religion over it. I never got that vibe from The Crow but I guess no internet and normal friends helped.

Why would you let what other people say, do or collect have any influence on your personal collection?

 

[a-dev]

I know it'd be the 23rd thread title change but for the sake of consistency I think this should be named Hot Toys MMS?? Batman/Bruce Wayne etc etc

I ain't changing the title again, so you'll have to get someone else to do it

Karamazov...that is why..it must be you!

This thread is too hilarious!

Yeah I don't understand that either. I liked Heath's Joker, so I got V1, and then when the more accurate headsculpt was released with the BR version, I got that too. Didn't get DX and I have no plans too, despite it's extras and improvement...V1 with the BR (non-slick back hair) head is good enough for me.

I get things that I like, because I like them / can afford to get them. It doesn't matter if it's anyone else's flavor of the week or if they are fanatics about it or even if it is not popular at all / too popular.

Yeah, I saw the same thing happen to the Crow, only there wasn't a company to make high-end collectibles for it, nor an entitlement generation to _____ about eyebrow hairs, vest buttons, jacket pleats and "screen accurate" socks.

You've never been bomarded by something to the point where you're disgusted by the sight of it?

Bombarded by a certain collectible statue/figure? Nope.

Characters, images, etc. Thankfully nobody has told me to my face "Why so serious?" I'd likely KO them.

I love this thread. I saw the crow when I was 7 years old and its still one of my favorites. Hot toys has my money if they do one

 

[pixletwin]

The orgasmic zeal some of you feel for Ledger's Joker is about as big a laugh as the religious piety others feel calling themselves "true collectors". I roar with laughter.

Yeah I know what you mean. Every Batman T-shirt is either the 1989 emblem or Ledger Joker. And y'know I'd love to have a Batman T-shirt that isn't either of those....but nope, thats all you ever see.

Ledger Joker > Pizza, Ice Cream and Popcorn!

Oh, I also own 7 Hot Toys and 6 Marvel Selects
