Alright, Who Shrunk Down Christian Bale? Hot Toys Batman
With three amazing figures for the Joker to date, it’s only fair that the team at Hot Toys swing around to the other side of the pendulum and immortalize Batman in a brand new, hyper detailed figure.
This 1:6 scale figure is part of their MMS DX line, based on Batman’s appearances in The Dark Knight and The Dark Knight Rises and features the uncanny amount of detail you’ve come to expect from the Hong Kong figure artisans.  The figure comes with dozens of accessories, including interchangeable mouths and a ridiculously detailed unmasked Bruce Wayne head.
Creepy, isn’t it?
If you browse through the gallery below, you may note that there is also an in scale version of the Batpod, and the flying “The Bat”.  Considering this figure is going for $260 right now at Sideshow Collectibles, I’d imagine the Batpod will be about $500, and the Bat…oh, the cost of a 16 year olds first car.
The Hot Toys MMS DX Batman ships in December 2012.
