Hot Toys has officially revealed its Absolute Batman 1/6 scale figure, and even for collectors who don’t normally venture into sixth scale territory, this is one release that’s hard to ignore. Inspired by DC’s Absolute Batman comic run by Scott Snyder and Nick Dragotta, this figure translates the bold, aggressive redesign of the Dark Knight into an incredibly striking premium collectible.
The Absolute Batman design has been one of the most talked-about reinventions of the character in recent years, leaning into a heavier, more brutal silhouette while still retaining the core elements that define Batman. Hot Toys has captured that aesthetic beautifully, with a muscular build, sharply defined armor textures, and a cowl that perfectly reflects Dragotta’s intense visual style from the comics. As expected from Hot Toys, the sculpting, tailoring, and overall presence of the figure look top-tier, making it a centerpiece-worthy display piece for any Batman collection.
While many collectors—including myself—may admire this release from afar rather than commit to the 1/6 scale, there’s no denying the craftsmanship on display here. The Absolute Batman figure is currently available for pre-order through Sideshow with a listed price of $385, firmly placing it in premium collector territory. Even if you’re sticking to 1/12 scale or statues, this reveal is well worth checking out as a showcase of how far modern action figure design has come—and as a testament to just how impactful the Absolute Batman era has already become.
