Same. In the words of Darth Vader, it is....too late...for me son. Been collecting for 30 years or so and since 30 years ago I was 12 I didn't exactly start out with the most mature mindset.

The Spirit of Darkness
******* I wanted this Catwoman so much.
But honestly - I just dont think I can justify the cost and I've seen too many videos of Jazzinc products with defects or other problems to take such a huge leap of faith on a companies first real foray into 1/6 character figures.
Ultimately - what we are being shown in these proto pics are not what we are going to get:
- there is a PERS eye system to be installed in the heads that we haven't seen
- there is going to be an entirely new body
- the battle damaged suit hasn't been fully customised for its endgame appearance yet
- these proto pics use the full metal custom diecast claws which will be absent on the final product
- the proto pics show the full diorama as part of the single pack options, which gives a bit of a false impression on how bare-bones the single packages are.
Its just an insane of money to gamble on a leap of faith, especially on my budget.
So after a full month of kicking myself trying to come to a decision, I have.
Gonna have to regretfully pass on this.
Now my only hope is that HT do a decent Catwoman and Penguin.
Worst case scenario - I still have my 1/4 NECA Catwoman and Penguin - which are still great representations of the characters.
Welp made my choice regarding Catwoman and Legolas - they must be sacrificed for the greater good!
Now I just need to decide if I'm going ahead with the Nazgul or not.......
@Nick D - your advice has been invaluable

Updated list
The way I try to approach it is this, is it a must have or a really really nice to have? If I don't get a figure, will I look at my collection in 5 years and be gutted it isn't there? If it doesn't represent 'me' then I try to stay away.
Figuring out what's really cool and what's 'needed' is tricky some times and trying to figure out what future me will think can be hit and miss, but for the most part I get it right.

Your restraint both impresses and terrifies me.
Ha! Why’s that?

Because I'm pretty sure the universe would fall into Heat Death before I could make up my mind on what 16 figures I would narrow my collection down to
Haha I get it. I’m limiting my collection down to 3 DF120s so I have to be specific.Because I'm pretty sure the universe would fall into Heat Death before I could make up my mind on what 16 figures I would narrow my collection down to
7 figures per DF120 with the bottom DF120 being the JND TDK 1:6 Armory & HT Bat-Pod 2.0.
The top two DF120s have a back half shelf to raise a row of 3 figures behind the 4 stood upfront. It will still be awhile before it’s complete despite being such a small collection. I currently own a Bat-Pod and 6 figures with more being made and on the way.
