Hot Toys figures on the way!

Why oh why didn't they have action figures this cool when I was a kid?

I could just about afford Topps cards...never mind these beauties!

We wouldn't have appreciated them in the same way.

And technically, these aren't action figures. And I wouldn't be using them as such.

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.

I read once about a ruling that declared that any superhero related toys are considered action figures and not dolls.

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.

Hello guys, I'm Italian and a new member of this wonderful family. I've been a Batman fan since as far back as I can remember and it was just a week ago or so that I found out about this great place for Batman fans.
I can't claim to know as much as you do about Batman, because I don't (I've read a lot of threads on here and you guys really blow everyone off in terms of knowledge of all-things Batman): I'm just an old time Batman fan and I am here to learn from you guys, really.
I love, dig and adore Burton's Bat-films and Nolan's Bat-films equally ... to tell you the truth, I prefer the Burton ones a tad more.

As far as these beautiful figures are concerned, they're awesome: I'll be getting both the Joker and the Batman as soon as they hit stores !

Yeah, I noticed I mixed them up after I'd done it ! I'm sorry for the mistake !
I've been reading a lot of threads and I second what you said, the guys and glas who're on the forum are awesome. I'm just glad I can learn more from you all about Batman.
I found the site while searching for an official Batman movies site and this one popped up ! Been hooked ever since !

P.S.: I'm also a massive Schwarzenegger, Stallone and Costner fan. Just to let you guys know what I like beside Batman.

the guys and glas who're on the forum are awesome.
