1/6 Hot Toys - VGM18 - Batman: Arkham City: Batman Collectible Figure

I wish they would do an Origins and Asylum version. And give us some of the other characters like they did with Joker and Deathstroke. Honestly their VGM Batman universe figures have been my favorites in my collection.

Origins might be my favorite look. AK Batman looked damn good with all the tech as well.

Arkham Asylum Batman would be fantastic because it would give them another attempt at this suit. I think I like the City design better, but if they made a better figure for AA, I?d be all over that to go with Joker. This figure just doesn?t do it for me with all of the issues it has.

I sold my Batman a long time ago because while it looked good, it wasn't great. When I saw a modded version though I bought this again and after the mods it's amazing the difference it brings on the shelf. Once I get my cape from Jaxon I know it'll take it to another level.

But yeah I'd definitely love it if they would do the Asylum Batman to go with Joker. Then there's the armored version and other variants they could do. And all the villains. Harley, Scarecrow, Catwoman, Riddler, etc. The line has such potential and I'm not sure why they haven't added more to it.

origins is my favorite look from the games, so i'm relly hoping hot toys tackles that one.

Definitely a great suit. I'm hoping they give us some good reveals with this Hot Toys DC event they have coming up soon. Of course, they've shown us stuff before and they never made it.

That is truly stunning!!!

What paint did you use to get such a matte finish on the cowl? I used a matte black acrylic on mine but it still has a shine I wish wasn't there.
Did you give the grey parts a silver wash or is that just he lighting?

Thanks, it?s a paint called black 3.0

This guy is an oldie but a goodie the gargoyle is from diorama Inbox studio on FB from a few years ago

I love the Arkhman Batman. With the custom cape he has such presence. I need to get that Joker.

So I dug mine out of storage, and he’s a great figure, except the ankles are so loose, he can’t really hold any poses. Is this a common issue? Any mods people would recommend to deal with this?

I have taken the feet off and lightly applied some super glue to the foot pegs in thin coats and let it dry for a few hours and then put the feet back on. It makes the foot peg a little tighter to help with stability. If you do it just make sure everything is dry before putting the foot on so the don't dry together.

Same issue with mine. I need to stop use a touch or glue to fix the ankle joints.

Nail polish/varnish also works and dries quicker with less risk of glueing it all together

Scored this guy sealed for $125 at toy show today. An older fig for sure, but great shelf presence

if anyones looking for a companion Piece

WOW, that looks good! Niice Scarecrow!

Thanks, if anyone’s interested in purchasing him, feel free to shoot me a pm

For some reason I had thought this figure was much newer, but also can’t believe how expensive it is now
I played the game for the first time over this past month and had to go ahead and submit an order for one NIB… even if it isn’t apparently the greatest of figures. Know I should probably get the Jaxon Xu cape, but are there any other mods this figure benefits from that doesn’t damage the fabric?

Some people modded the arms so that it the arms can sit flatter to the body. Info is in this thread a ways back.

The stock figure isn't too great without mods, what I did to mine was mod the arms to fit closer to the body, fully repainted the suit, gloves and boots, added general weathering to the costume, lowered his belt and added stubble to his face.

The hands included in the figure are undersized so he looks best with his graple holding hand or the open palms.
