I hope it's not Gordon I could care less if they made him or not. Two-Face didn't sell well at all. The heavy hitters were obviously Batman and the Joker which was why they had multiple variations.

Gordon would be a weird choice, even for Hot Toys (the company that doesn't "finish" lines, gave us Silk Spectre with out a Rorschach, no John Connor etc). He's a central part of the film, a great character but he is not toyetic or collectible worthy. It may be boring to some but there's a reason why you only see busts, figures and other merchandise of Batman, Joker and the rogues gallery. They sell.

Maybe when the next Batman film rolls around, but I doubt that's what we'll see in two months. Gordon before Scarecrow? Gordon before Ras Al Ghul (Neeson)? Those two are obscure even but they make more sense than a Gordon.

It's got to be 1989 Batman. There have been polls, petitions, demands galore for that version, second to Reeve Superman and Terminator Arnold (who are BOTH in the works mind you).

I have little doubt it's Keaton Batman either. With Superman coming it just makes good sense. The big question is what about Jack?
 
The spoon makes it seem that its the Matrix. Didn't they produce a non licensed Neo in the past? They produced the Terminator figure without the likeness of Schwarzenegger and now we have the new T1 T800 with likeness. Could be they are doing the same thing for the Matrix?

I think the shirt locks up MJ Beat It. The US market doesn't even come close to the Asian market and Jackson is a huge there. Like it or not they are going to get as many MJ's out as possible to tribute and strike while the iron is hot. And from what I've read the DX Bad figure sold really well.

I don't see where people are getting 89 Batman. Trust me I want one as much as anyone but there are no indicators for an 89. Its like the Bruce Lee/Superman thread. People are reaching. What they have mentioned, like people have said, is a Gordan. The choice of icon makes me wonder what they are referring to. It looks like the icon used on the office that has been modified.

I am not sold the teaser means 3 figures, it goes outside their norm. To me, + + + = something not somethings (plural). I'd guess somehow they are related.

Both of those would sell like hot cakes. Keaton Batman would pair up well with the Reeve Superman and Keaton Batman and Jack Joker would make great companion pieces to the TDK DX Bale Batman and TDK DX Ledger Joker.

Take in the demand, custom potential, and display options (Jack Joker and Batman would come with TONS of stuff) and Hot Toys would have great sellers on their hands.

But can they secure the rights to a Jack Nicholson likeness? There have only been Keaton Batman merchandise this past year (DCD statue, bust, toynami cowl etc).
 
Matrix - I'm game and would pick up Neo, Trinity and probably Morpheus as well.

New MJ - Haven't bought one yet, could care less, but I get the attraction.

Batman - Gordon or Scarecrow would be great. I think it will be Gordon because of the interview a lot of us read :faq awhile back. I also think this will be packaged with a working Batsignal which will :rock. I would definitely want a Scarecrow but I think it will be Gordon first. Hope we get him in the classic raincoat look and a S.W.A.T. uniform...think that's probably asking for a lot though if he comes with the signal.

Either way my hope for breaking into some other lines of statues/ collectibles is probably gone. Too...much...HT's greatn...ess... :horror :explode:

It's not a reach. WB is celebrating an anniversary year and there's a bunch of older films being remembered with new merchandise. There have been other vendors doing Batman '89 props and replicas. There's been demand from fans for years and HT seems to respond to their fans.

But feel free later to tell us all how you were wrong. /sarc

The Office figures, either american or londoeuropwherever, would be the lamest figures ever made.
 
The thing is there are no = in the teaser

I know, it could be implied? I don't see HT announcing three new figures at the same time assuming that is a date at the bottom.

Personally based on all the guesses I have zero interest in anything except maybe 89 Bats. So my interest thus far is kinda meh.
