After a decade of waiting, Hot Toys is finally bringing back the 1:6 scale ’89 Batman and Batmobile! Sideshow Collectibles is now taking pre-orders for all three toys. The Collector Edition Batman is $279, while the Deluxe Bats is going for $345. Inflation has undoubtedly taken its toll here because the Batmobile is now $715. Both will be shipping between April and September of next year.

I had Batman and the Joker when they were first released, and these two became highly sought after. In fact, I was able to sell both to pay for a moving truck and part of a mortgage downpayment. Hopefully, Hot Toys will give us another shot at a Joker figure soon!
