Hot Toys - Is it getting a bit ridiculous?

[Bobthegoon89]

Jeez their really taking their time with this Batman Returns line aren't they? There has been nothing, no new announcements for months and months. They refuse to answer queries. On the companies official Facebook page people keep asking where on earth are they (and some of those people aren't even Batman fans, merely collectors of cool movie stuff). Yet Hot Toys continue to unleash photos of wave after wave of Iron Man and Avengers based figures. It's all getting very frustrating.

Do Hot Toys only announce new projects their currently making or before they actually get started on them? It's looking more likely this series will never see the light of day which is a massive shame after their excellent work on the 1989 movie. I'm really happy I chose to nab my Nicholson Joker when I did. Hot Toys did recieve some sort of special award from I think Warner's for their work of adapting movie projects (and I'm pretty sure it was solely for the job they did on the Batman 89 line). Why they wouldn't want to follow that up with the sequel is just very strange.

I totally agree with you: it's ridiculous this whole situation.

I'd like to be proven wrong, but I have a gut feeling that they may have dropped the ball on the Returns figures.

My hope is still there as Hot Toys revealed their "Mime version" of Nicholson's Joker. Now this figure came completely out of the blue. Nobody knew it was coming out so there is a chance their keeping matters tight lipped until release. Surely we'll be seeing more series of these still to come.

Still waiting on my '89 Batmobile, I preordered it a year ago.

While everybody is hopefully waiting for Batman Returns to be made, Hot Toys decided to release a model based on the Evil Superman version from Superman III. I see no reason why they won't make toys based on Returns.
