Blue chrome Batman

Postby **Hawkeye_13** » Sun Jan 12, 2020 11:25 pm

Maybe a random subject these days but does anyone know how many Toy tokyo blue chrome batman pops were produced/ released?

Postby **Vader92** » Sun Jan 12, 2020 11:47 pm

i always wondered about this.

Postby **Stat32111** » Mon Jan 13, 2020 12:08 am

I’d say around 1,000 since it was shared and Toy Tokyo but who knows

Nobody knows except Funko...it's not numbered so who knows.

Probably the only real answer we will ever know, right there.

When Toy Tokyo was at ECCC selling their mystery bags, Blue Chrome Batman was the top prize. One of the staff said only 1500 made....but considering the source, I take it with a grain of salt

There's been lots of speculation but no one has a definitive answer.

Either way, this is still a Pop that I've been trying to get at a decent price...and still no luck!

Postby **Fugly16** » Mon Jan 13, 2020 12:14 pm

Never been an answer but I've always guessed around 1500-2000 or less, to be consistent with the other Chrome Batmans albeit it was the first one. It's not a very scientific guess, just gut lol

Probably thousands! LOL

my guess would be a production run of 3 to 5k :idea:

Whenever someone brings up this Pop I get all nostalgic about ForbiddenPlanet. I remember spending at least an hour refreshing, getting 404’d, over and over until I managed to snag him for retail. Fond memories about a frustrating time with a happy ending (not that kinda happy ending!) lol

I have 1 so there is at least 1 out there

There's at least two, I have one as well! lol

Postby **asiantonystark** » Mon Jan 13, 2020 2:36 pm

In all seriousness, I honestly have no clue on the actual piece count...
I remember going through the booth line in 2017 and taking this picture, being amazed that the flocked Lorax and GITD Tick sold out but they had a whole wall of the blue chrome Batman... The hype grew and died for this one since then!

Also, don't mind my pal Little Tony photo bombing the picture here. He tags along in my travels! lol

Postby **dtmkyle** » Mon Jan 13, 2020 2:42 pm

The resale value leads me to believe around 1500-2000 but again, nobody will ever know

Postby **rkwo** » Mon Jan 13, 2020 3:59 pm

Feels like there could be 2000 or so. The mold is the same for the different colors.

Postby **Ginzo1622** » Mon Jan 13, 2020 4:12 pm

I feel it's more than what we think, the only thing why his value didn't dip much because its an amazing piece plus real colllectors are holding them. Who doesn't love batman?

Postby **Geescube** » Mon Jan 13, 2020 4:27 pm

More than we think, surely.

Postby **lavery01** » Mon Jan 13, 2020 6:21 pm

I’m not sure about the exact number, all I know is that I don’t have one. lol

Postby **Hawkeye_13** » Mon Jan 13, 2020 11:36 pm

Thanks for your replies everyone! I have one but always wondered what the "official" count was.

Postby **conventiongeek** » Tue Jan 14, 2020 12:37 am

I thought they numbered these.... i remember how fast they sold out each day. It is a great piece!

Haha, I second this comment.

Postby **wolfy233** » Tue Jan 14, 2020 2:07 am

I remember hearing rumblings back when it came out that it was about 2000, but don't quote me on that.

At the time I didn't think this one was that hot either but out of the blue it blew up. I guess many of us underestimated the demand for it.

Postby **wash2366** » Tue Jan 14, 2020 10:32 am

I think everyone here is spot on with 1000-2000. This was before the great expansion of 2018 so, con runs were still fairly limited.

however, whatever number you think it was you have to double it because this was shared overseas.

I wish I was started collecting during that time.

Watch there be a billion! LOL

Postby **L3g3nD33** » Tue Jan 14, 2020 11:52 am

I was collecting when this Pop came out but really hadn't got into convention Pops until NYCC 2017. So many that I missed

Postby **jyc123** » Tue Jan 14, 2020 2:40 pm

I feel like there's a good amount since I've seen quite a few with the overseas sticker

I had a feeling there would be more chromes in the pipe so I grabbed it during my trip through the booth.
I collect mostly Marvel and Spastiks these days but have stayed chrome bat complete on the #144, they do look great together!

Lol! Funny thing about all of this is that while there are a lot of "sticker whore" folks in the collector community, the shared sticker for this piece is a harder find than the actual Toy Tokyo sticker. Go figure, right?! :-k
