I had been salavating over these since I first saw pics months ago, but deemed them too expensive. Ever since having kids, I have become a very thrifty collector, and I try to not spend too much money all at once. My wife Cindy kept asking me what I wanted for Christmas, and I'd jokingly say "Hot Toys Batman", knowing that it was way beyond our spending limit of $100 for each other.
Well, was I surprised on Christmas Eve to open a bag with a folder containing two certificates, promising that both the Batman AND Joker figures were on the way! They were delayed until January 7th, so I wouldn't get them until after Christmas, but who cared!!!
So I received them the other day...and I can honestly say I consider these more art than action figure. The likeness, the level of detail, the fact that they look like they could just move at any moment makes them far away the finest and best made "toys" I have in my collection. Just had to share some pics.


I rearranged my displays and put my 6" DC Direct figures (all 4 shelves of them!) in a Rubbermaid tote to make room for these. I also put my 13" DC Direct figures below. I got the Bat-characters up, need to finish putting the rest on the shelf below.


And yes, those are Barbies and Kellys in the background. My wife has some on the other side of the case.
