Geez... put those next to Reeve one and what a nostalgia trip. They make the Carter WW and I'm in for all 4 no matter what it costs me.

Standard awesome Hot Toys articulation on these babies! I will own these and the 1/6 Batmobile, and likely every figure they choose to make in this line! Don't know where or how I'll display them but I'll worry about that later. I already own the Tumbler (Nolan Batmobile), and the '89 Batmobile arrives Monday, I may need another garage to park these in!
I'm guessing around $220-250 each for the figures, $750 for the Batmobile. I'd like to think there's a chance they'll come in under that, but it's slim. The just-released '89 Batmobile retailed for $629 from Sideshow Collectibles, but that price was set nearly 2 years ago. With the way retail prices jump these days (especially for Hot Toys products), I can see this being at least $100 more. Standard Hot Toys figures retail for around $220 currently, more elaborate figures for even more, so depending on the license fee and whether they release these as DX figures (their "deluxe" line with more accessories), these may be on the high end.
So this affects my whole Batman 66 shopping list. I'll just buy these two, and be done with it. My budget can't afford more, and I might as well just pick the very best of all that's on offer now. Too bad I won't be getting all the rest, but you can't have it all.
One down side: this is a simple figure (guy in tights), and it will always bother me that such a figure carries a $200+ price tag.

I just suddenly forgot about the Mattel line. This is what I want. Because once I get these figures, those others will go in a box and be forgotten. No point in spending the money. Well done Hot Toys!
