I couldn’t believe how massive this Bat-Bot is when it popped up in part two of Brent’s Three-Story Toy comic. And during my sweep for post-X-mas deals, he’s being massively discounted from his list price of $30. So even if you’re not collecting Brave and the Bold, at that price it’s a steal for any Batman collection.

It’s the ten year anniversary of Hot Toys, and to celebrate they held a celebration event in Tokyo over the past couple of days, including having a few exclusives for sale. I would have loved to go, but did the next best thing – find pics of the event online!
In addition to having a bunch of figures on display, Hot Toys announced some brand new licenses for 2011:
We highlighted the Batman Demon and Scarecrow set and the Michael Jackson “Beat It” exclusives when they were first announced. These exclusive Hot Toys releases will be available in about a week’s time, at the “1/6th Scale Renaissance Decade” exhibition being held in Tokyo, Japan, from December 24 – 26.

What the heck – DC Universe Classics wave 16 already? If you were here when we had early pics of DC Universe Classics wave 14 and wave 11, then you won’t be surprised that it’s our pal trs with the early hookup on the next wave of figures to hit. It should be a couple of weeks before we start seeing these hit retail in the United States en masse.
The crew from Mattel is back with another edition of Ask Matty. Our thanks to Toy Guru and the gang!
1) This may be a question for the Four Horsemen – what’s desired for the DC Universe Classics line for head size? Some of the early figures had heads on the smaller size, like Batman and Aquaman, while some of the more recent figures seem to have oversized heads, like Guy Gardner, Alan Scott, and OMAC. Is this an intentional move to make the heads bigger?
Sometimes it is intentional, based on character; sometimes it is due to tooling issues. We do strive for consistency but it is not a perfect world and sometimes not everything comes out the way design wants. In some cases, like with the corrected height Sinestro coming to TRU next month, we try to fix things when we can!
