I had a Dark Knight toygasm last night.

I could barely contain my joy when I saw these. Hot Toys is running the game these days when it comes to 1:6 scale figures. They are like having 12" human slaves chained to your bookshelf! Imagine a painstakingly detailed Christian Bale sculpt thats larger than your penis (or deeper than your vagina). The Bat-Pod's functioning headlights will shine upon you while you update your podcasts. Better yet there's even a Batmobile that trumps the highly-lauded Aliens Power Loader.

The problem with 1:6 scale figures is the price (and having to hide them when girls come over). They run anywhere from fifty to two-hundred bucks brand new. Production runs are so limited they can go twice that on eBay. Geeks are barely reselling because Hot Toys are obviously too awesome to part with.

The Dark Knight figures aren't out yet. If you wanna get the jump on the sure-to-be-priceless Heath Ledger Joker you better be on the lookout.

So...who's gonna buy me one?
