Gotham Rogues Hines Ward The Dark Knight Rises Figure by McFarlane Toys

Gotham Rogues Hines Ward The Dark Knight Rises 6 Inch Action Figure by McFarlane Toys

Did you know McFarlane Toys has never produced a Batman toy before? Well, I guess technically it still hasn’t! But McFarlane Toys is teaming up with Warner Bros. and DC Comics to release what might be the coolest The Dark Knight Rises toy of the summer. McFarlane Toys is releasing a “Gotham Rogues” Hines Ward figure, which recreates the former Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver and future NFL Hall of Famer’s role in the film. The Gotham Rogues are Gotham City’s professional football franchise, and you probably recognize this pose from The Dark Knight Rises’ first trailer where as Ward runs down the field scoring a touchdown, Bane sets off a bomb collapsing the rest of the field around him.

Gotham Rogues Hines Ward The Dark Knight Rises 6 Inch Action Figure in Packaging by McFarlane Toys

The Gotham Rogues Hines Ward figure is clad in the Rogues’ black and yellow uniform created specifically by Under Armour for The Dark Knight Rises, and even features the actual tattoo Ward has on his right arm. Each 6” figure includes an enhanced base that features The Dark Knight Rises logo and comes packaged in a movie themed full color window box. This may also be the last action figure of the now retired 2 time Super Bowl champion and Dancing with the Stars champion, making this The Dark Knight Rises toy even more collectible!

While not expected to hit store shelves until October 2012, you can pre-order The Dark Knight Rises Gotham Rogues Hines Ward action figure by McFarlane Toys from Entertainment Earth for $12.99 here.
