The Latest Hot Toys Batman Figure Is Over 7-Feet Tall
Hot Toys has unveiled a life-size Armored Batman figure, and as you can imagine, it's pretty expensive.
Batman is the first in Hot Toys' new "Life-Size Masterpiece Series." The figure is based on the upcoming Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, which hits theaters on March 25.
The collectible stands approximately 1.95m / 6.4ft tall (2.2m / 7.2m with the base). It features an armored head with light-up eyes, a likeness of Batman's lower face, a sculpted replica of the Batsuit, a fabric cape, and a circular base which also has a light-up function.

DayZ Forum Information Compromised by Hackers
DayZ players who have signed up to the official forums are being warned to changed their login credentials, particularly if they use the same password on multiple sites.
Forum usernames, emails and passwords have been leaked following a hack which also brought down Mini DayZ, the free, browser-based game.
Though passwords were not stored in plain text, developer Bohemia Interactive strongly advises players to update their information and change passwords.
"A security incident occurred on forums.dayzgame.com recently," Bohemia said in a statement sent out to players (via Reddit). "According to our investigation all usernames, emails and passwords from forums.dayzgame.com were accessed and downloaded by hackers."
Major Multiplayer Changes Accompany the Next Destiny Event
Destiny will soon introduce a whole host of multiplayer changes — both in the competitive Crucible and the cooperative King's Fall.
In a new blog series called "This Week At Bungie" (formerly the Bungie Weekly Update) community manager David "DeeJ" Dague went into specifics. The crux of upcoming additions will land in the Crucible, though the game's latest raid will also see some improvements.
First off is a major change to special ammo in 3v3 Crucible matches. Namely, players will no longer start each round with any.
Instead you'll have to wait for the regularly scheduled drops to feed their shotguns, snipers, and fusion rifles. This was apparently done "to increase the use of Primary weapons, especially at match-start." Despite having the same total player count the free-for-all Rumble mode will remain unaffected.
BMX Athlete Dave Mirra Passes Away at Age 41
Dave Mirra was found dead yesterday at the age of 41.
Mirra was found in his truck in Greenville, North Carolina, on Thursday afternoon with an apparent self-inflicted gunshot wound. The Greenville Police Department is investigating the death.
“We mourn the loss today of a great friend and wonderful human being who touched the lives of so many around the world with his gift. He called Greenville, North Carolina home and was as humble a guy talking with kids on a street corner about bikes as he was in his element on the world stage. A young life with so much to offer was taken too soon,” said City of Greenville Mayor Allen Thomas.
