These days i see an action figure for every single character has apeared on a movie, cartoon, comic or tv show, why is there are no (NEW)figures of the Burton's Batman Movies: im talking about a good sculped and quality figures, like "Mc Farlane toys" or "DC Direct" at least.

I really wish some liscense would pick up the rights to make some nice 4"-6" figures for BATMAN, Batman Returns (and some of the other past shows and movies). Give them authentic scuplts, cloth or faux leather capes, well hidden articulated and lots of accessories and you have a great line.

Mattel has the entire license for Batman. They can do the past movies and cartoons if they wanted. Problem is 2 things. One, they dont see doing figures based on the past movies as being "in demand". Two, Mattel sucks as a toy company and I dont think we'd get what we really want from them on this. Your best bet is to either get a custom on ebay, or try to do some yourself.

As inspiring as that sounds it would most likely go nowhere. Perhaps one day a company will produce high quality figures similar to McFarlane, Neca etc. Look at how much Scarface merchandise exploded a couple years back. That film came out in 1983 and it took about 20 years to finally answer the fans with merchandise. Same goes with horror movie and Star Wars merchandise, alot of the merchandise produced these days didn't get kicked off until recent years and 20-30 years after a films release. Its a long wait for hardcore fans when it comes to this kind of stuff. Maybe we can hope for something for Batman 89's 20th anniversary.

It's weird Mattel doesn't see the potential.
Wasn't the Hot-Wheels 1989 Batmobile a popular item?

Any Batmobile seems to be a hot item. Thing with HW's tho, is its a more marketable cross collectible. They have the die cast enthusiests in addition to us Batman geeks.
