Actually I'm totally with you on that as I would MUCH rather have him in his normal TDK detective Lieutenant outfit versus SWAT garb. If I though there was a chance they would release the other version I would wait for that instead. Unfortunately I rather doubt that's going to happen and i'm guessing the head alone will be selling for $80-100 on ebay after it's released. So instead I'll be picking up this figure and putting together another body with suit and trench coat to swap onto.

There were some shots from a fan film that had Gordon in a trenchcoat. However, it also featured custom Joker thugs, so there's a good chance that the Gordon was a custom as well. I PO'd the SWAT Gordon, because that way I know I have a representation of the character. If they do release a trenchcoat Gordon, I can always sell the SWAT.
I'm 90% positive they'll release a Commissioner Gordon since they have this titled as "SWAT Version" see Captain America verions "Golden Age" and "Rescue Version" for example.

Oh, I'm guessing they probably will as well. Hopefully as a DX with the Bat Signal. But Scarecrow was only ever released as an exclusive, and it could happen again. And I'd hate to try and track down Gordon on the secondary market if they don't do a Commissioner Gordon.
I re-read the post on Hot Toys Community's FB page it says "New Jim Gordon is coming soon / Teaser by Plastic Enemies" since the SWAT version was already announced I'd expect the other to be announced officially in a week or two. They had what looks like the final prototype for Prof. X but no preorder announcement yet

I'm thinking we may see a "Commissioner" Jim Gordon from Rises but I doubt will get both the detective and commissioner versions.
The photos from the teaser have the same headsculpt as the SWAT, technically he's the Commissioner at the end of TDK, I think they are more likely to release him as the TDK Commissioner with the same head sculpt and circle back with a 2.0 (greyed) as the DKR Commish.

According to the members on the Sideshow forums, Hot Toys Community is just a fan page, and has been wrong about items in the past. Hot Toys has an official page which is different (http://www.facebook.com/hottoys). So there hasn't been official word one way or the other, so far as I know.
This only makes me think more that it's a custom. I don't think HT has ever used the same head sculpt for two different figures. And those photos are from the above mentioned fan film that also showcases custom Joker Goon figs. Those aren't official Hot Toys teaser images.
I'm sure they're just trying to advertise without advertising "hey look - buy this and you can easily turn it into this version too!"

I haven't indulged in Hot Toys Iron Men line since the mk III and War Machine (the removable face plates were too good to pass up). The mk VII has enough bells and whistles that might it a worth while pick up.
In other news it looks like the Jim Gordon SWAT is sold out at SS and has moved to wait list status. I guess now I can hedge my bets in case we do get another version.
I got my pre-ship notice on the HT Tumbler, less than a month to go!

I broke down and ordered Black Widow. Nick Fury and Hawkeye are sold out at Sideshow, waitlist only. Figured I better order just in case. Can always cancel if I decide I don't want it. But, after finally getting a Captain America TFA, and with the Avengers version three flex payments in and one payment for the Bucky Rescue Cap, I may want to start grabbing the other Avengers.
Oh, and since I haven't posted since TDKR came out...I'm still not feeling 200 for Bane.

I already have most on Pre-order of the Avengers. I am hesitating on Hawkeye. I don't know why, but his face doesn't look right. Plus, if I can cut any corners with spending on the set, I will. I don't see myself getting Fury either. The Chitiuri isn't a big concern, and as much as I'd hate to say, I may pass on Coulsen.

I have to say, Coulson is the one I'm looking forward to the most right now. And if they do a Maria Hill I'm all over that too.
