Hot Toys × DC Comics' "The Dark Knight Returns" 40th Anniversary Collector's Series:
Batman (Battle Damaged) 1:6 Scale Collector's Figure (February 25, 2026). "The Dark Knight Returns," written and illustrated by American
comic book master Frank Miller, is hailed as one of the most influential comic book stories of modern times. To celebrate the 40th anniversary of this groundbreaking classic, Hot Toys ( www.hottoys.com.hk ), officially licensed by DC Comics, is releasing the first piece in the "The Dark Knight Returns" 40th Anniversary Collector's Series—the Batman (Battle Damaged) 1:6 Scale Collector's Figure—paying tribute to this immortal legend that pioneered the dark fantasy trend in American comics.
The Hot Toys team referenced the iconic blue-grey color scheme of the *Batman: The Dark Knight Returns* comic book cover for the figure's color scheme. Batman wears a grey suit paired with a blue cape, hood, gloves, and boots, accented with a classic yellow belt. The suit is meticulously detailed with realistic battle damage and bloodstains: three deep, striking claw marks on the bat emblem on the chest, open wounds on both shoulders revealing raw flesh, gloves worn down to the knuckles, and the entire body covered in abrasions and grime, accurately capturing the poignant figure of an aging Bruce Wayne after a fierce battle. The
head sculpt features a newly designed, highly realistic battle-damaged version of Bruce Wayne with independently movable eyes, showcasing for the first time the weathered face behind the mask—short, gray hair, deep wrinkles, and bloodstains. A mask accessory is also included, placed behind the neck to recreate the iconic moment of removing the mask. Another blue hooded head sculpt comes with three interchangeable lower face accessories: a closed mouth, a roaring expression, and a bloodstained, clenched-teeth pose, capturing the Dark Knight's resolute and unyielding demeanor despite the blood trickling from his lips.
This figure uses a specially crafted muscle body, faithfully adhering to Frank Miller's rugged style, featuring broad shoulders, a thick chest, and defined muscles. It stands approximately 32cm tall and has 30 points of articulation. It includes a blue cape with built-in decorative wire, a sniper rifle, batarangs with ropes, four batarangs, multiple pairs of interchangeable gloves, and a dedicated display stand, recreating classic scenes from the comics!
