Figured this deserved it's own thread. Pics are nice, video is better. This was made by a friend from another forum, who HAS the figure, please do enjoy.
...and be sure to check out his other videos, he reviews and showcases AMAZING collectibles.

That video review is AMAZING! Gives me a whole new appreciation for the figure.... and if I owned it, I'd be sad that it could look like some of those camera shots all the time. Thanks for posting this, Adam.

Nobody can truly understand how great the Hot Toys Batman figs are until they own one. It's like finding Jesus or having sex, you just have to do it to appreciate and understand how great it truly is.

Thanks for posting this, Adam. Thanks for sitting through it, I know it's a long video (9 1/2 minutes), but it really is a killer showcase on it. After watching it, if I had anywhere to put it, I'd order one right now. Sure, it'd clash with everything else I have, but Hot Toys nailed everything so spot on it's scary.

I thought the SAME thing after owning one Hot Toys Predator... now I have six, lmao. |

I'm already planning on going for BR Joker and Dent when they hit, I really hope they do Dr. Crane/Scarecrow. I also really want Batman, mostly for the Bale headscan to whip up a 1/6 Patrick Bateman.  |

That just looks amazing. When it comes out I am going to have to try as hard as I can to get one.

I didnt think I'd sit through the whole thing, but I did, and it was so worth it. These guys are like $100 a piece right?

Yep, $100-$150 depending on where you buy it.
---Do remember though, these are meant to be posed and displayed. I wouldn't buy one if I had little brothers or sisters who take my stuff and occasionally break them.
Hell, for that matter, I wouldn't buy one if I didn't have a damn good place to keep it away from people putting their clumsy, grubby fingers on it. At a $100+, although the company is called Hot Toys, these are anything but toys.

I'm definitely ordering this soon.
I'm surprised I haven't ordered this. I must be insane.
I haven't checked if anyone has these at the collectibles show I go to. I haven't been there in a few weeks...
Are these limited or fairly easy to order for a while?

I haven't been there in a few weeks... Are these limited or fairly easy to order for a while? I would NOT waste time in ordering one if I was going to, Hot Toys usually makes things rather limited. Hell, the Scar Predator can easily sell on ebay for upwards of $400-$600, and the Elder Predator 2 can fetch $300-$400. I'd either find a site that has them in stock now, or still up for preorder and get my order in ASAP. I think Sideshow Collectibles still has preorders on right now, and I think Toys2.net has them in stock (though their price is at $160 WITHOUT shipping). |

Good to hear, from the pictures I've seen of this guy at the sideshow forum, and from everything I've heard you WON'T be disappointed. Whenever you do get it, PLEASE do post some pics!

I have it and I must say it is easily the best figure I've ever bought. Out of everything I own/collect, it's definetly in my top 3. Hot Toys Joker Henry Sr.(Hasbro Indy line) Red Trunks Drago(Jakks Rocky Line) |

What's to debate? I mean, I know the price is high, but if you've never seen a Hot Toys figure in person you honestly don't know what you're missing. Also, to get a good idea of the work that goes on at Hot Toys, check this out (this is an AVP figure): hk.myblog.yahoo.com/josephfigure/gallery?fid=18&page=1It's the blog of Joseph Tsang, most of it is in Japanese, but the pictures are easy to navigate. Starting on page four (1-3 has actual finished proto images) has photos of him hard at work sculpting and painting every detail by hand. There is also a drop down box that has links to other projects he's worked on. --- When you buy Hot Toys, it's not just a figure, it's a work of art. |

I want this more than anything but I just simply cant afford it. For a 15 yeard old £120 is an absolute huge sum of money and also a sum of money that is completely of my range which is why I will probably never be able to purchase this true masterpiece.

I will admit, that is an amazing piece of work. Sadly Im just not into those kinds of collectibles, nor can I afford them but If I had the chance and the money I would seriously look into them.
