I don't think they'll go with rubber on this one. I see them using materials similar to Battle Suit Jill.

Moe made a fantastic Arkham Batman with cloth and it looked amazing. I don't see why HT couldn't do the same. There really is no need for rubber on this. Captain America proved they cand do intricate sewing with fabric without having to result to rubber outfits.

I sure hope so, would be a nice change a pace for Batman.

Yeah. A very detailed and intricate suit, perfectly executed.

Yeah, that would make sense and work. Cloth would still be better, but that is better than rubber at least!

I'm just curious to see how long we have to wait now. Looks like they've got a bunch of accessories sculpted and I would tend to think those are secondary to getting the full figure completed.

I hope not. The more flexibility, the better. I would also prefer cloth.

I do worry about spandex snagging though. So I've almost treated my Spidey like a Batman because of that.

I wonder if we'll get a Battle Damaged Batman too though. Batman gets F'd up through the game, heck, very early on even.

Yeah, unfortunately if they go as tight as they did on Jill, the articulation will still be a bit restricted. Not nearly as much as a full Rubber suit however.

Hmmm, Think it will be out (announced) before the wave of TDKR stuff starts?

Re: Hot Toys VGM Series Batman: Arkham City - Batman Collectible Figure

I doubt it. Bane is done, we've seen that. We're only seen unpainted hands and awesome accessories here. So I would tend to think we'll at least see Bane before AC Batman. Hard to say after that. He could pop up in the middle of TDKR figures or after. HT is unpredictable.

Indeed they are. This announcement being a prime example of that

Re: Hot Toys Batman Arkham City

Further proof HT only makes things that end in "man" anymore.

But dang am I excited!

Jokerman?

Batmobileman?

Luke Skywalkerman?

Nick Furyman?

Thorman?

 

[Buttmunch]

Re: Hot Toys VGM Series Batman: Arkham City - Batman Collectible Figure

Iron Man?

Batman?

Yeah, we never see figures made of those two!

Re: Hot Toys Batman Arkham City

Jokerman?

Batmobileman?

Luke Skywalkerman?

Nick Furyman?

Thorman?

Joker from BatMAN

Batmobile from BatMAN.

Just saying

Re: Hot Toys VGM Series Batman: Arkham City - Batman Collectible Figure

I am not too familiar with Arkham Asylum or Arkham City. Are the Batman suits very different between the 2?

Re: Hot Toys VGM Series Batman: Arkham City - Batman Collectible Figure

Does anyone else think that a B&W "Promo" version would make for an awesome Con Exclusive? It'd be unique enough to intrigue people, but different enough and nonessential, so that collectors wouldn't have to worry about a hole in their collection.

There's not any major differences that I saw. I'm pretty sure they're exactly the same

Re: Hot Toys VGM Series Batman: Arkham City - Batman Collectible Figure

Hmm, do u think they will get round to a LOTR license?? I would die. That more than Star Wars, has been the one license that will make me unbelievably overjoyed, to the point that I would feel there were no more major license acquisitions required.... ever.

YES! Cant wait! Lots of Batman stuff coming out this year (and next year i'm assuming) from HT alone. Damn.

DX Batman 1989
DX Joker 1989
TDK DX Joker 2.0
1/6th and 1/4th scale TDKR figures
Batman Returns 1/6th and 14th scale figures.
Arkham City figures

Now HT needs to kill us with the grandest news by announcing the Lord of the Rings license lol.

Not even close. They are totally different. The belts are different, the boots are different, and the guantlets are different too at the very least. They look similar to the casual observer, but much like Darth Vader, real fans know the differences.

I think so too. Its certainly better than those "stupid things" version they've been doing with Iron Man.

I'm interested in how Hot Toys will actually pull off this off. Batman had a skin-tight outfit in the Arkham games, and it will be hard to achieve that kind of detailing with the rubbers that we've seen so far. So I'm guessing that Hot Toys will probably have to use a fabric that's similar to the one on Christopher Reeve Superman. Spandex?

Nope. LotR isn't really popular in Asia. Its more of a European thing.
