Here is my guess :

1) 1/6 SCARECROW

2) 1/6 TWO-FACED ( He is supposed to appear in TDK, in fact what i heard is that Two-Face was supposed to be the main villian rather than the Joker but i m not too sure about it )

3) 1/6 BATMAN in DIFFERENT COSTUME ( Maybe in armoured suit, cos if you noticed, this batman was listed as IN ORIGINAL COSTUME and so i guess there should be another ver )

Holy Molly Batman!!! That is one sweet figure! Too bad I don't collect super heroes.

Not sure, but look like some kind of enhanced brass knuckles to me. Really like that accessory actually.

Batgeeks around the world will wet their pants in unison if Hot Toys release that Batpod

Hopefully if HT release one, Bats will be able to ride it without looking silly.

I figure there maybe a Two face figure and a 2nd costume batman. possibly scarecrow and alfred but their less likely.

Nice one Wookster, 1/6 Batpod!

dandid · #39 (**permalink**) 05-21-2008, 09:30

does the batpod comes with an ipod?

Excerpts from their website:

"Because the next collectibles from The Dark Knight will debut like continuous sea waves! In the meantime, we think you should prepare a new display shelf or change a bigger one for our upcoming TDK collectibles.

Today, we proudly announce that Hot Toys has been granted the license of The Dark Knight and will release numerous 1/6th collectibles in 2008.

In person, the Bale HS actually looks better. Thanks for the pics Shiguangyu

rattlerat · #44 (**permalink**) 05-22-2008, 05:14

Wow!!! I am impressed! Looks way way better than the ones shown in the official website! I am glad I ordered him!!

Wookster · #45 (**permalink**) 05-22-2008, 05:33

WOW, that photo makes the H/S look so much better, have to say I couldn't imagine Yulli ever doing a truly 'bad' sculpt, so I was confident it'd look better in hand.

mpchi · #46 (**permalink**) 05-22-2008, 22:34

It looks very impressive. Pretty much warrant a purchase now. Though the neck/shoulder still look funny with the entire torso.

Wild Geese · #47 (**permalink**) 05-23-2008, 09:09

OMG! Headsculpt is way better than Takara's!

Muks_C · #48 (**permalink**) 05-24-2008, 07:10

wow, the headsculpt does look so much better than Takara's, and also much better in the "real" photo than HT's promo shots.

i never bought any of the premium Begins figures, but would have loved the Takara one, but i think i will have a try for at least the Joker figure from HT, and possibly this Batman figure, although i'd like to see the actual TDK suit version. if the Joker and this new Begins suit figures are anything to go by, it's gonna be awesome.

another accessory i would have liked with this figure is an empty cowl so Bruce could hold it like he did in Begins when looking over Rachel. it would be static so he couldn't actually wear it, just hold it.

also, the metal arm thingy is called a "pneumatic mangler", some sort of tool he uses to cut through metal in the movie, you can see it in use in a shot where it looks like he's hanging on to the side of a white van, and also in a shot where there is another "Batman" holding up a shotgun and the real Batman has his right hand up.

must have !!

doctorjones1987 · #51 (**permalink**) 05-26-2008, 17:07

where is this on preorder in the states for both batman, joker and the tumbler?

Wild Geese · #52 (**permalink**) 05-26-2008, 20:15

I think I shall keep my Takara Batman since I need two Batmans for each vehicle.

I believe there're still some Takara Bats available here & there if you search around. It's worth getting too, if you need two Bats. The slimmer Takara Bats to fit into the Tumbler, and the bulkier HT Bats to ride the Batpod.

it's too bad the US won't be getting these. i can't see why not, even with DC Direct. it's not like those figures are 1/6 size. between this uber-goodness & that Tumbler, i forsee myself working alot of Overtime, or selling quite alot of stuff. 154 bucks for the figure. gotta say i think it's worth it. although i'm sure people i know & live with will think i've lost my mind.But that is one wicked looking Batman figure.

imranbecks · #54 (**permalink**) 08-04-2008, 19:52

I just realized that I had posted in the wrong thread (MMS-68 Joker)...

Now I'm at the right thread..

Finally got the figure! Just the smell of the rubber suit is intoxicating! And I love the packaging art... Hot Toys really know how to do their packaging really well! This figure is definitely better in detail than the previous Batman Begins version that Hot Toys released in 2005 which I did not get.. So I'm glad I didn't get that one actually coz this Dark Knight "Begins" suit version looks way better.. Next one will be the new suit from TDK.. For some reason, I decided to skip the Joker figure..

For now, here are some photos I took of the original suit figure..

PS: The great figure doesn't come without its own problems though.. I can't seem to be able to remove the neck joint from batman's head.. Its on there really tight! Need the neck part to connect Christian Bale's head! Anyone here facing the same difficulty?

imranbecks · #55 (**permalink**) 08-05-2008, 02:37

After some twist and turns of the neck... I finally managed to swap the Batman head with the brilliant Christian Bale headsculpt! Some photos I took as well as Batman with other figures on display.. Again I say, the batsuit is just excellent!

Why So Serious? · #56 (**permalink**) 08-05-2008, 05:29

Very nice superhero collection!, do you have a villain shelf as well?

dai-low · #57 (**permalink**) 08-05-2008, 09:52

worlds finest! having both the superman and the batman standing together looks awesome!

imranbecks · #58 (**permalink**) 08-05-2008, 20:05

Thanks guys.. Indeed having both Batman and Superman standing together is awesome! But too bad I can't stand the Batman without its display base unlike Superman. Batman is unable to stand on its own and might fall like a tree after a while without the base..

And no, I don't have a villain shelf.. Its all the good guys in this scale... I never realized that till now

Now that you've mentioned it, they don't make many villains in this scale anyway.. Other than the recent Hot Toys Joker from The Dark Knight, but for some reason, I decided to skip it..

You are also missing Venom, probably my favourite character from Spider Man. There is also Vader, Anakin and Maul just from Star Wars. You gotta have a few bad guys to even the scale!

I actually have the Sideshow Anakin from Star Wars ROTS.. Its still MISB.. I haven't opened it up since I got it few years back..lol.. Thinking of getting the Sideshow Maul but his sculpt does not look so convincing..
