As in stuff like this?

Wow. Any other information? Release dates?
Holy sh*tballs!
Official statement.
QuoteAmid much negotiation and many difficulties, Hot Toys is finally granted the likeness right of the renowned actor Jack Nicholson to produce the collectible figure of his character in the movie.
As many ones may know, it is very difficult to get it and it is on??ly granted for Hot Toys, thanks to the quality standard being recognized! Though it is difficult to get it, it is worth because we can bring such great collectible figure to our fans! So fans, please stay tuned our update in 2011!
This is insanely excellent. I was wondering what they could possibly do next, but here we go. Not from the film (that's pretty much covered) but inspired by the film. I'm going to snap these up upon release.
Here's hoping they do a Catwoman figure.
Hopefully we get a Keaton one too, I don't see me picking up a Joker one, but if there is a Keaton one, I might pick it up if its based on 89, however if a Returns Keaton is made, I WILL pick that bad boy up
Definately picking up a Nicholson Joker figure!
8) 8) 8)
I'm equally interested in both figures to tell you the truth.
I think a Keaton figure is a given. The still of him on the promotion has to mean something.
finally! - might have to hold off on my preorder of the statue which was due months ago and save the $ for these

Far out. I am very impressed.
They've gone back to 1989 via TARDIS, stolen Jack Nicholson, and frozen him in suspended animation.
A must buy.

The Batmobile is very nice indeed. Quite large from what I see, too.
I have the old "back in the day" toy version. But it looks like it's time to upgrade.

No, it will close.
I think the price of the Batmobile will be around $800
^ I probably would've got it like that anyway, but the fact it closes is a relief.
$800 is a high price to pay. But I do have an ammount set aside for purchases such as this.
I'm still certain we'll get a Keaton figure. Securing Nicholson was a coup for them, and they're showing it off.
Yeah... I'll be happy when I just have both Joker and Batman.... That will be enough for me, I'd like to own the Batmobile but in Reality I know it just won't happen.... Like Now I'm trying to track down The Dark Knight Heath Ledger Hot Toys Joker... But having a hard time finding one for a decent price....

That video removed all doubt. "I gotta get me one of those".
Looks pretty sweeet... Man that thing is huge....
Seriously guys, this has got to be the best representation of the Burton Batmobile ever created. It is jaw droppingly beautiful. I've got to stay on the ball, so I know when I can order straight away.
Hot Toys - please do the same treatment for the Batmissile, Batwing and the Batskiboat.
Its simply amazing, But I still dont see how it will be able to fit 2 12 inch figures in that thing without them conkin heads. Its a tad undersized Id say.

Awesome...
Reality check... I think their "cheaper" stuff costs about 200, and prices can go up to 500 for figures and 850-1000 for vehicles. I haven't seen a catalogue, but I estimate that the B'89 set (two figures and the car) will cost about 1300-1500, at best. Even if I had the money, I would invest on a brand new PC or a 3D screen. But, I'm glad they got made, and I hope they do Batman Returns figures in the future. Even if I'll not ever buy any of them, I love it when they do high quality products based on these films. It shows Burton's Batman gets some respect :)
I can't afford these (oh the drama of life!!!), but I hope they sell well enough for Mattel to start thinking about a Burton Movie Masters line!
I'd say a 1/6 scale 89 Joker is long overdue, but I can't argue, since it seems best that we get this one now, considering the AMAZING detail. The Batmobile is the same quality, the cockpit really shows that. Can't wait till they take on Returns (the Penguin!), I hope we'll see more high quality Burton merchandise in the future, Hot Toys really made a good call with this one.
Now, I hope we see all of Joker's gags, they've already got all his clothing from his main outfit (I don't expect his alternate outfits), to my knowledge, he needs:
-revolver
-BANG! gun
-chatter teeth
-glasses
-hand buzzer
-collapsible revolver
-fake hand (probably no way to incorporate that)
-small gun
-boxing glove
-megaphone (I saw that shown with the prototype)
-cards (also shown with the prototype)
Missing anything?

Id hope they are working out all the obvious errors with their keaton figure. That picture is VERY disappointing. The cape doesn't even connect at the emblem. The ab armor is all wrong as well. The gold belt color is obviously wrong too. (too copper colored)
Jack Joker needs a bigger body and the Keaton needs reworked a bunch, The head isn't ideal either, it resembles Returns too much instead of the rougher, looser 89.
Thats going from those leaked pictures though, heres hoping some official pictures show that its a lot better! id love to be able to buy this and not feel ripped off! Loving the accessories, and it will be interesting to see if HT puts the Nike Logos on this batman!
Ill nit pick this to death I tell ya haha.
It's Keaton!

Has anybody seen Michael Keaton out and out recently? I haven't. The guy is nowhere to be found.
They *must* have suspended him in frozen animation and shrunken him down.
Terrific design. If I got all three of these....the account would take a hefty hit. But they're sooo good.

If they're not action figures, what are they? They're not statues, because they articulate. They could be called "dolls", I suppose, or "figurines".

The official technical term is a "RAFBSE" - Resembling Action Figure But Something Else.
If you want an unofficial term it's something more like dollerine.

You should've read it twice to have made sure. Not that the 'ruling' means anything. My opinion holds much more weight. So if something is based on reality, eg. a historical person, the classification changes? Sounds off to me.

Holy totally excellent action figures Batman!
Where's money when you need it?
So, these are coming out April 2012, right ?
I heard that they would be out in the 1st quarter of 2012.
I so want to place my order on Batman and the Joker now, but I'm really concerned about getting the best possible deal without having to pay outrages EU import taxes. I live in central Europe (Austria). Where's everyone living overseas ordering them from?
Play.com seems like the best option yet. €312 / GBP 267 and free shipping.
I dread thinking about the final price of the Batmobile plus shipping to Austria.
Any suggestions? I'm getting increasingly worried I might miss out.
By the way, play.com listed them being released on February 17th.

I didn't want to miss out so I pre-ordered from Sideshow (Joker and Batman)... and I live in New Zealand... so I'm sure the import duties are going to tack on at least $50-60. Not much I can do about that, unless I get them off eBay when the figures are released. 267 pounds for both (including shipping) sounds like a solid deal to me. :)
I won an auction for the Joker on December 25th. GBP 182 for the figure. That's GBP shipped (inside the EU), which while steep, is probably a pretty good deal. I did see someone winning another Joker from the same seller for GBP 166, though.
There's also an eBay seller in China selling Batman for GBP 194 with free Standard International Shipping. Toll Import Taxes would probably apply.
Not sure if I'll dare it.
I got some ebay purchases from China, and I don't remember there being any toll charges.
I guess you were lucky you weren't randomly selected, then.
All depends on the kindness of the seller, declaring items as a "gift" and undervaluing the worth of content.
Man I'm a 1989 Batman but maybe because I'm a cheap those toys should be $20-$40
LOL... wouldnt that be ideal kingdjack? Fortunately, Hot Toys spends a lot of time modeling their figures. Unfortunately that means a high markup, I suspect. I would imagine they could sell the figures closer to a price of $99US and get more regular sales. I think their figures are limited to a run of 10,000-ish as well so that might account for part of the cost.
That's too much for me.
Yeah fair enough. I suppose they could offer a cheaper version without all the extra faces/gadgets and the light-up base, etc. That might shave off some of the cost for the collectors who can't spend as much

Lucky duck. I pre-ordered mine a while back and was told to expect mine end of March/beginning of April. Oh well. Must be a demand thing. It'll be worth it. After the initial frenzy the prize goes up and of course, stock becomes hard to come by.
BigBadToyStore says February for the figures, but they've been saying that for months.....
On the other hand they're preordering the Batmobile at $579.

My HT Batman just came in. It's just as awesome as it appears online! 8)
Since today is my birthday, I preordered a Batmobile.
You're very good to yourself! lol
Happy Birthday
Thanks! :)
I bought the Keaton figure 3 months ago. It's awesome. Picking up the Nicholson one later in the year.
So, Hot Toys follows up their classic purple 1989 Joker suit with a variation. The black and white mime suit.
Check it out:

Ah, Thanks! You think they would've mentioned that in the documentation.
Well, got my Hot Toys Batmobile unboxed tonight...
Bad news:
-The box had a 7 inch hole in the side of it, both through the brown shipper and the display box.... plus another quarter size hole in the other side. No damage to the car from this, but it is still a bummer to have a destroyed box on a $700 item.
- I have 2 of the common scuff/ scratches on the canopy's side. They aren't as bad as others I have seen (and not nearly bad enough to risk trying for a better one), but they are there:

Well, got my Hot Toys Batmobile unboxed tonight...
Bad news:
-The box had a 7 inch hole in the side of it, both through the brown shipper and the display box.... plus another quarter size hole in the other side. No damage to the car from this, but it is still a bummer to have a destroyed box on a $700 item.
- I have 2 of the common scuff/ scratches on the canopy's side. They aren't as bad as others I have seen (and not nearly bad enough to risk trying for a better one), but they are there:

Good news:
IT IS THE FREAKING 1989 BATMOBILE IN 1/6TH SCALE.

This is honestly the coolest purchase I have ever made. Even with the scuffs and the box damage... Zero buyer's remorse. It is a thing of absolute beauty and is the definitive piece in my 1989 Batman collection. A work of art.
Here are some quick, no frills pics of this beast.... I will do some more detailed pics (once I figure out how to get it on my photo table) and a video review this weekend... but I just wanted to snap a few pics of this masterpiece in its new home tonight. :)

Many of my best and most memorable Christmas' are as the result of Batman product I recieved on the big day. Never forget Christmas morning 1992, the Returns logo was seemingly everywhere and I hadn't even seen the movie yet (got that on VHS in my Christmas stocking at the tender "underage" of four years old). Last year (2012) I got the Hot Toys Joker. Had to keep an eye on it in my local comic store. Thankfully nobody bought it for almost four months. After that Christmas I didn't think there was anything that could possibly top such an incredible gift. Cue Christmas 2013 blues lol
Thought I'd get myself that Chris Reeve Evil Superman with it's spectacular base. Great figure and I love Superman III personally. What else could possibly top Nicholson? Couldn't care less about the Christian Bale figures and the Returns line still aint out. It seemed the obvious bet. So I geniunely didn't expect my family (who I assumed had gone out to dispose of trash) to shove in a gi-normous box through our hallway this recent Christmas containing this, the biggest freaking Batmobile ever made! So big it couldn't even fit our car boot properly (in which it had to stay throughout Christmas Eve night against the prying eyes of potential thieves!). I know it was the only one available to buy in my home city. I'm told the guys who sold it felt they had been paid their Christmas bonus' lol It displayed in the window of my local store throughout the holiday (much like that movie "A Christmas Story" with the kid who's after that Red Ryder BB Gun). I never dreamed in a million years it'd find it's way into my Cobblepot-like "flippers". What a fantastic new Christmas memory.
I'm one of those people who believe they have psychic ability and although I recently had enough money to also buy that Christopher Reeve figure I decided against it. I have a funny feeling this year we will finally have some sort of progress on the Batman Returns figures. It's been two whole years this January that they were announced. Something's bound to happen soon. Hot Toys may want to put something out in this 75th anniversary year anyway. Plus I think their running out of things to do with the Christian Bale stuff.
