Bah, they should do the Marvel vs Capcom version, with limited edition Mango Sentinels for added awesomeness.

Oh hey, it's another Hot Toys Batman.

I particularly love Grumpy Batman on the end there.

Mad Sheps are the Best Sheps.

Still don't get why the second set was cancelled before the first even made it to stores but hey, I'm just bitter because I liked the look of that Legion.

Better shot of Batman, apparently March 2012, get your pennies saved now!

I haven't bought any tat in ages, think maybe MP Grimlock was the last thing I got. I've seen all these glorious Hot Toys things come and go, despite being very tempted on many occasions.

THAT, however, I'll stump up for because, even though the film isn't all that, I love the hell out of Keaton's Batman and that representation looks glorious.

The only problem is I just know they'll do a Returns suit one next year, won't they? drat.

Was there much of a difference between them? I think the chest changed a bit.

These are a great investment tho, you won't regret it. They are using the DX series of heads, where the eyes move based on how you tilt the head. Adds so much more realism. Also know Hot Toys never re-issues these, so once they are gone, that is pretty much it.

Rarely will they do it, I personally have only seen the Predator stuff and that might be a rare time as it was based on another license (Predator 1 vs Predators).

I got really excited seeing that some of the bits clip to the belt.

Christ, looking at the accessories, it even has the funky little pop-out palm thing he nailed that flying kung fu goon in the balls with.

Regarding the Returns suit, it's less densely black (more of a midnight blue), has the classic oval design, the cape hangs differently and the torso part isn't sculpted, just straight up 'armour plating'* in the mid-section.

* Well, for armour plating, see funky rubber ridges.

That is utterly fantastic. I swore off buying 'tat' a few years back but by god, if anything could make my resolve crumble, that could. They even threw in his Batmobile shields remote and that silly extending palm/crotch-punch thing?

Wow.

Are they seriously doing The Bat in the same scale as well? That thing isn't just going to cost a fortune, it'd be bloody huge..!

That DKR Batman is hilariously buff, and smug looking. Bane looks pretty cool though.

Also saw there was Mass Effect stuff, thought to myself "yeah but as long as there's only BlokeShep, I don't care so my wallet is saf- oh"

Welp, I guess they've got my number. And money.

Don't worry, there are 70s Battlestar Galactica figures from that era and they are glorious.

Thats the website for the company that is making the Judge Dredd figure. There are some pretty great figures in here with some great broken english names. I am really tempted to order the two pack based off The Rock so I can have Nicholas Cage and Sean Connery hot toys.

Hahahaha, the Steven Segal one perfectly captures his current day state of, ah, 'grace'.

It's been color matched and professionally painted to match the buckle. Looks kind of cartoony in person but that's kind of why I love it. It's pretty rigid on its own but has no problem opening up and flexing.

Hmmm, you're not kidding about the cartoony look. The belt colour looked somewhat more muted in the film, no? Like more of a darker mustard/gold than that bright Ferarri yellow you've got there.

Snake Plissken arrived. I like him. Not a perfect figure, likeness looks good in some angles and not so much in others....but it's nice and I love his accessories. I'll get pics of those later.

You should turn it into a Captain Ron figure.

I'm pretty sure they were blue in ANH as well; even the earliest prototype from pre-production was blue.

There's a lot of pictures of TIE models out there, but it's hard to tell for sure what was used on film and in which movie. After some googling I found this picture of Dennis Muren messing with Vader and his wingmen's fighters which is definitely from Episode IV. It's kind of a washed-out photo, but at the very least you can tell they're not charcoal gray.

I'm not sure why I'm debating the point, as I certainly have no plans to buy a model TIE Fighter the size of a large dog.

The models had a bluish tint to them on set but in the first film under final lighting, they look straight up grey in the actual battle scenes, which is presumably what HT are trying to replicate. See also Artoo in his little X-Wing slot, much of the colour is absent, the blue becomes navy-black, etc.

They're mediocre films, no more, no less but the incessant whining about just how bad they are, greenscreen and CGI, and this revisionist bullshit of trying to make out they're 'not canon' since the buyout or that George Lucas hasn't got a single talented bone in his body by worthless schlubs who have never achieved a goddamn thing in their pathetic lives is really tiresome and overdone and I wish they'd just piss off and get over it instead of having the same dumb arguments time and time again.

You could just get a knock off version, Agrias, they've generally tended to be quite decent quality from what I've heard with the only drawbacks being the occasional loose limb or the car manufacturer markings/badges being renamed to Nissun or thereabouts.

Is it Sirtoys that sell a ludicrous range of knockoff (MPs or otherwise), not sure..?

While the Ben Affleck Bats has a good face sculpt, holy gently caress the full figure looks like poo poo. Like, the suit looks like a laundry bag stuffed with garbage, the bulky look doesn't translate well to a figure at all.
