Hot Toys’ Absolute Batman Statue Looks Absolutely Incredible

Most DC Comics readers seem to agree that Scott Snyder and Nick Dragotta’s ‘Absolute Batman’ Run was a bold and brilliant reimagining of the mythos of The Dark Knight. By turning Bruce Wayne into a blue-collar character, devoid of the vast financial resources of his family’s fortune (forcing him to fight crime through intelligence and brute force), they gave fans a surprisingly new (and incredibly realistic) perspective on the 86-year-old comic book legend (we also got a terrifying new version of Bane).

The immense popularity of “Absolute Batman” guaranteed that the folks at Hot Toys would eventually get around to making a collectible statue. That moment has come and it seems they have outdone themselves. The just-announced Absolute Batman Sixth Scale Figure measures 15.9 inches and has badass artistry. This is a limited time release, so you’ll need to jump on it now. There’s a collector’s edition that costs $385 and a special edition that costs $400, but if you’re a Caped Crusader nut whose residence is decked out in bat accessories, this is obviously a must-have. What exactly do you get for this? significant quantity of dough? Here are the details!

If you’ve read the comics, you know that Snyder and Dragotta’s Wayne/Batman is a ridiculously muscular guy, and it’s safe to say that Hot Toys captured this hulking mass of vigilantism in all its menacing glory. According to the product listing, the figure “is a muscular body made from soft vinyl materials that allow for a smooth, seamless joint design.” It has a hooded head with very pointy ears, which are detachable so they can be used as knives. There are also three different undersides that give collectors the option to change Batman’s expression. You can also adjust its silhouette and detach the bat symbol.

Snyder and Dragotta’s Batman wouldn’t be complete without his Bat-Axe and Shotgun, both included in this package (the Bat-Axe has a long and short handle). There’s also “a set of built-in wire capes in bat wing mode, perfect for dynamic movement poses.” This is a truly impressive statue.

So order your pre-order now and begin the long wait for delivery, because the statue won’t be ready to ship until October 2026 at the earliest and March 2027 at the latest. In the meantime, at least you will have new installments of “Absolute Batman” to read. That should tide you over until you can invite your friends over and leave them speechless at your Hot Toys recreation of this striking variation of one of the most iconic superheroes of all time. And maybe we’ll get a statue of the Joker next!
