The "Friend" 10th Anniversary figure is being sold by Alter Ego... so my guess is something odd is going on with those exclusives.

I don't think the HT posting is related to our seeing the 10th Anniversary Ex's popping up in various places for good prices.

I think it'll be new exclusives but i'm an optimist
I wouldn't consider myself an optimist, but the evidence makes me think this won't be a re-release. HT posted about the new Iron Man as well as Begins and P2 figures being sold in Asia. First, strange to associate one new figure with two older ones. Second, no Beat It or Friend. Why only one 10th Anniversary release being sold there? Third, Guardian seemed to be the most popular of last year's exclusives. If that's the P2 figure being re-released, then why no T-1000 as Sarah Connor?

Of course it will be a New Figure - they said it will be , god i don't remember how many pages ago , well whatever it is its gunna be a Batman Begings figure so i'm pumped .
They said they would "unveil three exclusive items," not that they would necessarily be new (though you would assume that they would be. . .unveiling an existing figure to be re-released would be the epitome of lame).

logic dictates that since I just paid for the set, at a seemingly good price. It will now be offered at a better price and with at least one new accessory. 
If its a new figure, I would bet on Gordon. Mattel just came out with theirs. So any potential likeness issues they may or may not have had with Harry Potter is now settled. Plus HT has said how boring suit figures are, so that would tend to make me think he'd be an exclusive since he is 'so boring.'

This is part of an interview taken last year to Howard Chan, president of Hot Toys...
Q: On specific characters from movie licenses, will Hot Toys produce Commissioner Gordon (Batman), Iron Monger (Iron Man), Jill Valentine (Resident Evil)?
Howard: Yes. We have always planned to make Commissioner Gordon; initially we were informed that the actor (Gary Oldman) was not so supportive of the idea but our current understanding is that there is no such obstacle either from him or the main licensor so yes I can say that at some point we will be releasing a Gordon figure.....

It would be so amazing if Hot Toys released this 2-pack just like Mattel did during this year:

I don't think I would buy gordon personally. I don't display bruce, or harvey, so it would seem alittle weird in my collection.

Gordon is normally seen with Batman, so I'm not sure I agree with your reasoning. Personally I hope it's a rerelease of the Batman/Scarecrow. I would rather a new figure get a normal release. I'm sick of these region exclusives.
