New Hot toys Teaser...

[pjam]

Matrix

MJ Beat It

Batman - but maybe Nolan's 3rd installment, not a figure but a license announcement for the 3rd?

Yep, Matrix, MJ and prolly Gordon, as they hinted earlier.

For a Keaton, they would have to make an announcement of acquiring the license along with a Figure tease. It would be nice as they could sell a ton of Nicholson Jokers too, but I think Jack controls the Joker 89 licensing, n'est pas?

Seeing as how Jack gets a percentage of the merchandising I'm sure he'd have no problem whoring himself out.

There is no spoon ...






... couldn't resist. Looking forward to the announcement !

 

[Kamandi]

Considering HT's working relationship on Marvel's Iron Man films, I'd expect a Thor or Cap America announcement following after this, maybe in Jan or Feb.

I also wonder if they'll be doing the Green Lantern, Flash franchises?

 

[Kuzeh]

My guess is an Adam West Batman since the preview has a round head with small bat ears and a short cape which would be more reflective of the TV costume than the Keaton movie versions.

Good point!

Did they do that with the Terminator? I thought the teaser just went up followed by the figure specs and pics. I don't remember them announcing it, only hints.

Speaking of specs, this is what I'm dreaming of.

MMS# Batman (1989)

- Batman head
- Bruce Wayne head
- Batarangs (one with the rope, one that folds, and more regulars)
- Spear Gun (Grappel Gun)
- Smoke pellets
- Pneumatic wrist shield (similar to the TDK OC pneumatic mangler)
- Line Launcher
- Bolo gun
- Ninja Star
- Detailed body armor
- Magnetic Belt
- Black turtle neck (optional)
- Blue jeans (optional)
- Glasses (optional)
- Multiple hands

- Box design that replicates the armor vault. The accessories in a foam tray on the door, just like the film.

If one of these is Lobby Scene Neo, I couldn't care less about the other two.

Very exciting though.

 

[intothevoid]

^ those 'dream' 89 Bats specs would be pretty epic

well, ht did batman and is now doing supes. both are dc. i think green lantern and flash will be a no brainer.

 

[MANDO]

I'm down for a new HT Batman line. I highly doubt its an Adam West line though. Keaton's the more obvious choice unless they are making figures from the Arkham games which would be awesome!

 

[veezy714]

Matrix should be an interesting line. Too bad I'm not that big a fan but I still can't wait to see what's in store.

I remember emailing Hot Toys a few months ago asking if they would ever consider making a Beat It Mike figure. I even pitched them an idea to also include a Motown 25 outfit, kinda like the Thriller 2-in-1. Regardless, I just hope they use a headsculpt similar to the original prototype for Thriller Michael, just with longer hair.

As for Keaton Batman... Bring It Hot Toys!

 

[HollandX]

just want to mark my spot.

carry on.

 

[DiFabio]

I'm starting to see things that aren't there.

"I want you to do me a favor, I want you to tell Hot Toys about me."

"What are you!?!"

"I'm MMS# Batman."

 

[CaptainTrenchcoat]

The Batman image seems so casual to me. Neither Keaton any of the other recent Batmen were relaxed. What if for some miracle it's an Adam West Batman?

 

[karamazov80]

That would be awesome (and far cooler than a Keaton Bats, IMO), but I think they just had difficulties figuring out an image that could refer to Batman for their little announcement, and resorted to a generic Batman outline.

Most collectors want Keaton Bats obviously, so I predict that's where they're gonna go if they can.

 

[bigpig]

hmm how does a picture of a spoon = the matrix?

 

[DiFabio]

An Adam West Batman would be cool but there's that whole thing with Fox.

 

[karamazov80]

hmm how does a picture of a spoon = the matrix?

Because Matrix is so good you could eat it with a spoon.

Duh.

 

[bigpig]

Also that picture of the guy with the ears reminds me of night owl from watchman??

 

[karamazov80]

But the cape is all wrong. . .
