1/4 and 1/6 Hot Toys Batman TDKR Announcement

[Maglor]

And when the Batmobile comes in at around $500?

At $500 I will not resist. Consider it sold for that price.

Hmm, that would make it tougher...

I want to see a removable rubber cowl in 1/4 scale, Kenner did it in a 4 inch figure 20 yrs ago, the time has come to make it happen in a realistic way

I'd much rather they gave an extra head and kept a cowl with alternate faces. It provides more options that way. If you have one head and a cowl, you only have one way to display it. If you have three faces and the extra head, that's 4 ways to display it. I just think that if I'm spending upwards of $400 on a figure, I'd prefer more options. As for the removable cowl option, the simple fact is that it wouldn't work.

Unless HT applied a new system of rooting the hair on all 1/4 scale stuff, which is highly unlikely, with sculpted hair, one of two things will likely happen: the unmasked head will be undersized to accomodate the cowl, or the cowled head will look oversized due to the accomodation of the sculpted hair. Also, was Bale's TDK/TDKR cowl even rubber?

A removable rubber cowl is just asking for trouble . . .

Every cowled head should be sculpted.

Every cowled head should be sculpted.

Why don't you go cowl yourself.

 

[Voorhees27]

[COSMOSTARX]

No trouble putting this on.

Do it, Hot Toys. Adam West version!

 

[Uncanny Web-Slinger]

Adam west Batman 1/4 or 1/6 would be an instant buy.

i want to see a 1/4 scale tumbler

That'd probably be bigger than my whole desk.

 

[TheFiend]

So will the 1/6 scale version of a character be the exact same as the 1/4 version? Or will they differ in sculpt, accessories etc. What if they are different and a 1/6 collectors finds that they like the 1/4 version better as far as sculpt and detail? What a head ache.

 

[Uncanny Web-Slinger]

I think it would be the best for the figures to be very close to one another in what they come with that way if a customer chooses the 1/4 one they aren't missing out on something that only the 1/6 comes with.

But HT will likely make them different to try and snag people to buy both versions

 

[KBA]

The 1/4 version, in theory, will have more detail, better tailoring, and better paint. But the price will probably be double, and the size is going to make exposed joints more annoying than ever.

I've never thought as 1/6 as dolls, but 1/4 posable for me leans more towards a doll than a figure.

 

[COSMOSTARX]

I consider the 1/4's closer to statue status more.

 

[Cifer85]

Uh, that's nice! I'm definetly open to this!

Want to see some pics soon

Everyones wallets just packed their bags and walked out the front door.

Oh it would gave to be either rooted or matted down sculpted hair, plus the eyes would need to have the black panda makeup, it would be more for realism in the look rather than actual function as a displayable head unmasked

It should come with a 2nd sculpt anyway of a Bruce Wayne with proper sculpted hair

And with the proper r&d and materials, there's every chance to make something like that work IMO

I take your point you'd rather have the changeable faces instead though - but not me, anyway it'll be interesting to see what they come up with

To complete the 1/6 line-up of Hot Toys Batmen.What a wonderful sight that would make on a shelf!!

Batman has a rubber suit and Joker has clothes, so you wouldn't see any joints, they should come out looking like poseable pf's.

Even if it did not come off but was manufactured as a separate piece, I think it would look great. A rubber cowl on a plastic headsculpt. So it matches the body material. Would be awesome.
