Ready to get your mind blown? Hot Toys (via Sideshow Toys) had a number of 1/6 scale Batman vehicles on display, including the classic Batmobile from the 60’s show. I also snapped pics of a couple of Barney Ross figures from the Expendables, Metal Gear Solid, Batman, and Avengers figures.

Hot Toys has announced three “Toy Fairs” figures – Lt. Jim Gordon from the Dark Knight, Angelica from Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides, and Captain America in the outfit in which he rescues the Howling Commandos. (Sorry if that’s still a spoiler to anyone out there – watch that movie already!)
According to the Sideshow “Toy Fairs” Facebook announcement, these figures will be exclusive to various shows around the world, and for the US, that means San Diego Comic-Con. Rescue Cap has been up for pre-order at Sideshow Toys for a few days, and Hot Toys says to stay tuned to Sideshow for more info on the other two. I wonder if Sideshow will have these for sale at the show – I’d be very tempted by that SWAT version of Gordon.
Hot Toys knows how to keep me on the hook. With just a couple of weeks to go, they’ve finally revealed their Batman for The Dark Knight Rises, and in the same stroke teased us with Bane on top of a desert camo Tumbler.
Certainly we’ll see Bane before the movie opens – I’m wondering if we’ll get to see him in person at Sideshow’s booth at San Diego Comic-Con next week. I hope so!

I’m still waiting for Bane, but Hot Toys continues to tease the upcoming Batman figure for The Dark Knight Rises. The good news is that they’ve redesigned the suit as a fabric with armor plating – this should avoid some of the reported problems with the earlier Batman DX, like oily leaks and corrosion. I’d think that another plus of the fabric suit would be better poseability.
A great figure not only requires an accurate head sculpt, but also a full gear of outfit and accessories true to the original. After long development, we are excited to bring to fans our newly developed Batsuit of the DX Batman, featuring fabric costume with armor originally developed based on the costume design in The Dark Knight Rises movie!Batman fans, the most authentic Batman is arriving in the city very soon! Please stay tuned!
And you thought the Hot Toys Tumbler (the re-release of which should arrive in August) was big? I have tried to avoid any clips or news about the movie, so I don’t have any idea if this behemoth of the Bat has been shown, but damn, that thing is going to be massive. Get ready to move one of the cars onto the street, because that’s going to take up one parking space on its own.
This thing is cool, but I’m still waiting for the reveals of Bane and Batman.
The Dark Knight Rises movie is coming in just two weeks! Batman fans, are you ready for the movie and its collectibles?
Here comes the DX Batman in its high-flying The Bat collectible from the movie! Please expect the most movie-accurate DX Batman to come very soon!
