News: Hot Toys bringing out two versions of Mr Freeze

Prepare your wallets for a BITTER WINTER. 

Hot Toys are releasing not one but two versions of Arnold Schwarzenegger's Mr Freeze in 2026. One standard and one deluxe (that comes with a frozen steps stand and the iconic(?) wings). 

Very happy and surprised to see this figure, it looks incredible. Once again their faces look almost lifelike. I love that they have included the two vials of MacGregor's syndrome cure on his wrist. "Take two of these, and call me in the morning!" 

I nearly purchased the bootleg SooSooToys Mr Ice and Dragon Toys Dr Zero but am glad I held off. Who knows if I'll have the money to get this, hopefully they space the release out with the Batman and Robin figures otherwise that's a huge chunk of money in one go. 

Do you think Hot Toys will do any more Schumacher figures? Poison Ivy? Two Face? Riddler? Batgirl? Bane? That guy who yells "Batman, yeah!" when Batman crashes through the ceiling of the Nygmatech party?

News: Hot Toys releases promo photos for Batman & Robin figures

Well, the title says it all. Hot Toys just released these promo shots of the forthcoming Batman & Robin figures. 

Got to say these look pretty perfect. Love that we're getting so many gadgets and interchangeable jaws for Batman. 

Robin feels a microscopic step down from the Forever version. The face just doesn't quite feel right.

Will definitely be getting both of these regardless.

News: Hot Toys is making Batman & Robin 1/6 scale figures (... no seriously)!

Even though we got those Batman Forever figures from Hot Toys a few years back, I really didn't think they would also do ones for the 1997 follow up Batman & Robin. I assumed the negative reputation that has dogged the film for years would mean that Hot Toys would think they financially unviable.

Turns out I was wrong, these two prototypes were just unveiled today! I've got to say, I'm glad I was wrong.

These are just prototypes at the moment and if you remember those Batman Forever prototypes were shown at toy fairs for at least a year before they hit retail shelves so you probably have some time to save up your pennies.

Looking at the initial designs, I think they look great. Chris' hair looks a little too light brown and I know some people would prefer them to have more of a blue hue but overall, stunning. I wonder if they'll come with add on ice patches like the McFarlane figures.

I imagine they will have similar issues to the Forever figures (ie. the rubber suits crease awkwardly when you bend the arm or legs) but I can live with that.

Here's hoping they consider an Alicia Silverstone Batgirl figure down the line. Seems like a shame to miss her out.
