SDCC Batman Toy Trifecta: Arkham City, Play Arts, Hot Toys

?? Mattel is making an Arkham City Harley Quin figure. I approve mightily. The Joker figure behind her looks find of crap, though.
 |
?? But that’s okay, because Square Enix is also making Arkham City figures, and their Joker looks phenomenal. Batman, too.
 |
?? Hot Toys is making an ’89 Jack Nicholson as Joker figure. This picture does not do it justice; go to ToysREvil, and check out this slideshow — there are only a few pics of Joker in there, but it is just terrifyingly realistic. Oh, and in case that wasn’t awesome enough, Hot Toys is also making an in-scale ’89 Batmobile. Weirdly, they haven’t announced an ’89 Michael Keaton Batman yet, but I assume that’s on the way, too. And if they make a Kim Basinger as Vicki Vale figure, 12-year-old me will explode with delight retroactively. (Everything via Poe Ghostal)
