The head of Hot Toys said they were having some problems with the licence. I'm sure Penguin and Catwoman will follow now. But that's it right? What else is there? Unless they toss in the cape glider with the spiked tip wings? Can it be done on a figure like this? Let's see, he'll have his Penguin commando remote control, the updated grappling gun design and I'm sure the famous homing/"super batarang". I also don't think this Batman will come with as many great accessories as the first. The figure from the 1989 film has a much better texture to it far as I can see. Why not try and get both to represent both films? And if they already have the Joker he'll look a little out of place without his corresponding Batman. Some fans are actually going to sell their figure of the first movie just to get the Returns one which I find a little foolish myself.

I actually think Val Kilmer's outfit he wears for the majority of Batman Forever is far far better because they brought back the black and gold look of the first film quite deliberately.

Nor the machined body armour replacing the original human anatomy. Because while I still like it myself I'm not crazy about the grey colour tone. I shall never understand why so many fans like the Returns suit (apart from the sharper, blazing insignia). Well it's a great figure but I won't be getting it since I have the version from the first movie which remains firmly my favourite.
