News – 2013 SDCC DC Collectibles Arkham City Hugo Strange Figure Revealed

Ever since the Arkham City toy line was announced, fans have clamored for a figure of Hugo Strange. He’s the penultimate villain of the game (mostly), so I would think he deserves a figure. Well it seems DC Collectibles agrees, and they’re releasing him as a 2013 San Diego Comic-Con exclusive. This may cause some fans to groan, since it’s not always the easiest thing to get a hold of SDCC exclusives if you don’t go to the show, but I’m sure the figure will find its way to fans that want it. This is definitely better than them not releasing the figure at all, and I can understand the decision to make Hugo Strange a 2013 San Diego Comic-Con exclusive.

News – New DC Collectibles Arkham Asylum Bane Figure, Arkham Origins Figures and more Revealed!

I know it’s been a couple of days since the reveal of the upcoming DC Collectibles Batman: Arkham Origins figures, but they just revealed a brand new Arkham Asylum Bane figure to be released, so I thought I’d put everything in this one post! Yes that’s right, good news for Arkham Asylum Bane fans. Many fans have lamented that figure, because for the longest time he’s been extremely expensive on the secondary market. Heck, I even sold mine a couple of months back, just in case DC Collectibles decided to make a new one. I guess I was right! So for those who missed out on him, you get another (better) chance. Bane will be in a two-pack with Arkham Asylum Batman later this year, and will be taller, and have lots more articulation than before.

News – Hot Toys 1/6 Scale The Bat Prototype is HUGE!

Hot Toys The Bat 1/6 Scale Prototype VehicleHot Toys has posted some photos of them unpacking their 1/6 scale The Bat prototype at their warehouse. This thing is so big it has to be shipped in a crate!

Please keep in mind that this is just the prototype they take with them to display at toy shows. The actual production piece will be on a 1/12 scale, and not a 1/6 scale. This is obviously due to the astronomical cost it would take to not only produce it, but to ship it. Websites such as IGN and One Sixth Republic reported months ago that The Bat would indeed be in a 1/12 scale. While this comes at a blow to the 1/6 lovers out there, this is no doubt great news to those who collected Mattel’s Dark Knight Rises 6″ figures. Theoretically, this should be in the perfect scale for them.
