Hot Toys 2013 Protos

Hot Toys Previews Prototypes For 2013 Releases

It's cool to see ED 2.0, Arkham Joker, and the Joe figures...but where is my Arkham City Batman?!? It's been over a year since they announced him, showing off some gloves. I'm dying to finally see a full reveal of the prototype. Other than that everything looks awesome. Interesting to see that they ARE still working on The Bat, even though Howard Chan specifically stated that it would be too expensive build and ship without costing an arm and a leg.

That was true for the 1/6 scale version. What we see in the photo is 1/12 scale, apparently.

I believe you are correct sir. Added him to the list.

I want the DKR Batman and The Bat! Those look sweet!

Could that figure next to the Mk. VIII in the purple be a Bruce Banner figure?

Good call, I didn't pay much attention to the size in the picture, but it is much smaller. I do remember Chan saying they would do it in a smaller scale.

Luckily, I'm not interested in The Bat from a design or size stand point. I don't want a 1/12 scale vehicle, for my 1/6th scale figures. The space for a vehicle in my collection is already reserved for the '89 Batmobile anyways lol.

I can't wait for the Arkham figures, and that ED209 to come home, along with the Joe figures though. I just got my replacement DX12 in the mail today. So nice for TDK to be back.

Bro, if you want a guilty pleasure hot toys, skip the Gantry and go for Iron Monger. I'm so glad I added him to the collection. There's no greater hot toys guilty pleasure at the moment.

Whatever happened to the Batman Returns figures we were supposed to get? They posted a teaser poster in early 2012 implying we might get the first of them sometime last year, but nothing was ever revealed and released. I've been eagerly waiting for the Michelle Pfeiffer Catwoman, Danny Devito's Penguin, and perhaps an unmasked Michael Keaton Batman. And now with this 2013 preview, there's still no sign of any of them. Anyone know what the story is on these? Did Hot Toys decide to put them on the backburner last year in favor of focusing on Dark Knight Rises and Avengers toys instead? If that's the case, they were quite premature in posting that teaser image back in early 2012, and we may not see them in 2013 either if they devote all their attention to Iron Man 3 and Thor 2.

And for those who don't remember, here's the teaser they posted just a little over a year ago:

"Coming Soon" eh? Define "soon".
