1/6 Hot Toys - Arkham Knight - Nightwing

[matticus]

Might go up in early August. Not sure if the translation was about the SS figures or DC figures in general.

No pre-order for Nightwing. You guys think this one was sent to prototype hell?

I hope not. Shown off at multiple Cons and last shown with a ton of accessories. I hope a couple more weeks of DC focus.

I hope not either. But this could see the Batman forever treatment. Shown off for years and goes up for preorder when you least expect it. So just wait a couple years folks. You know how these guys are

The Suicide Squad/DC week not off to a good start so far lol.

Hot Toys Summer Showcase:

 

[ironwez20]

Ugh. Gimme a damn preorder!

 

[SOU7567]

Do we get this before the end of the year?

 

[ironwez20]

Dammit thought the bump was for a preorder

 

[IAmIronMan]

Shown off at Hot toys Taiwan event. I'm taking that as a good sign. My guess would be they are waiting until DC All stars to do an event for this and more SS figures

Did you happen to see if they showed the Arkham Knight Batgirl? If so, were there any alterations/improvements?

 

[matticus]

Is this the longest tease of a Hot Toy ever? Shown at every Con this year...

I don't think they had anything they didn't show at the cons in the summer up. Just the newer stuff, as far as I could tell. The only thing I saw that wasn't announced at this Summers cons was the Dark Night Batman and Batpod. What are you hoping they'll change on Barbara?

I think Robin and Batman from forever beat this one, teased at multiple Cons over the span of two years

The main ”change” I’m hoping for is finessing the thickness of the cape/clasp on her collar. Otherwise, I’m still looking forward to Batgirl’s release.

Ahh yeah, I do remember that area looking a bit to bulky in scale. Good point. I don't think we'll see if they fix it until the final product pics appear. I guess silver lining is that that part is at least addressable in the after market with custom capes and perhaps a better 3D printed clasp.

Excited for the expansion of the Bat-family as well!

This figure is so dead.

Not a good sign that it's not at the DC event at Toy Sapien. Although there aren't any unannounced figures there so maybe that doesn't mean anything.

If I were in charge at Hot Toys I would dive into this line completely. All the designs are pretty cool, specially the villains. I’m pretty sure everything would sell out eventually.

 

[Barrow Roll]

Every time this thread gets bumped I get my hopes up.

Hot toys will never make it...
