1/6 Hot Toys Batman Forever Batman (sonar suit)

[DiFabio]

Having Batman and Robin displayed next to each other ain’t gonna look gay.

Probably going to have mine by the shelf next to my West Batman and Burt Ward Robin. Really wish they’d do Riddler and Two-Face. I wanna display my McDonald’s glasses with each figure. Have a blue display light illuminating for the Batman glass and Sonar figure. Yellow for Robin, green for Riddler, red for Two-Face etc.

I still can’t believe Catwoman and Penguin haven’t happened. It’s literally been 10 years since they were discussed. Hot Toys is so weird. If they release another ‘89 Batman and Jack Joker ala Begins Batman and Tumbler before the Returns or Forever villains, I’m going to be pissed.

The fact you have to state it made me laugh.

I like the properly colored lights on your character glasses. I did not understand how deep your love for Forever went until now.

I really do love the colorful nature of the Batman villains.

It does drawn your attention.

Perhaps kneeling next to Batman.... wait, no...

I'm truly not sure how you can display these two together without it looking like a Gay Pride display... but then, that was Schumacher's intention.

It is why we desperately need the villains. If no villains, even by third party, then there's no way I can pick these two up.

Not sure the villians make it less like a "gay pride display" They are in the same tone as these two, if not more so. After all Carrey's Riddler is more camp more than all the others combined including all his motivation coming from his obsession with Bruce.

All superheroes have gay undertones really even the more so called serious versions. It is just an inherent part of the genre that is impossible to separate from it.

It is funny how these figures have created such a reaction with their sculpted muscle suits and cod pieces but not figures like Synders Superman or Batman with their jacked up bodies in their skin tight jumpsuits lol

This will haunt you.

It’s 2021 Greg, you can come out of the closet now. Nobody will judge you based on Robin’s package. You can even touch it if you want.

Dunno if this was posted already, but I thought it was cool.

This will haunt you.

Na it won't. It clearly haunts some people though based on some of the comments in this thread when these figures were announced. You could see how uncomfortable it made them

Hope Xensation will reissue their Two-Face and Riddler figures.

 

[Wor-Gar]

I'd prefer better renditions but at this point I'd take the Xensation figures. Maybe they'd be improved because Xensation did some amazing Game of Thrones figures.

I'm old school. No way.

This thread is amazing.

I watched that video too, as well as his other video essays. I quite like his passion for good stories/filmmaking.

SooSoo have dropped some big hints that they'll be tackling these ultra campy villains which is fantastic news. Two Face's suit is a masterpiece all on it's own and there's no denying that Arnie's Freeze will be a showstopping attention hog regardless of how you received his portrayal of the character.

SooSoo is a quality company. Excited to see what they have to offer.

Yeah they confirmed Riddler so far, but I'm buying all of what they make.

Can you imagine Mr. Freeze!!!

Where did you see this?

 

[Johnny Utah]

They asked for reference pics on their Facebook group, fans are submitting pics of the riddles and costumes for both Riddler and Two-Face. So I guess it could mean both are confirmed.

 

[Wor-Gar]

THIS is great news!!!! I am all-in for villains.

Are they talking just Batman Forever Riddler and Two-Face or are they hinting at Mr. Freeze or even Penguin...?

 

[Johnny Utah]

No hints at others yet. Someone posted a pic of Riddler and Two-Face at the start of February. They asked what accessories would we like to see in the comments.

I love that they're just going right ahead and assuming that Hot Toys won't be making them

They may know because there's no booking for them at the factory in the next 6 months to year, however far ahead they need to book. I would think peeking into the factory booking logs for future jobs would tell you much about the industry.
