1/6 Hot Toys Alien: Romulus - Rain Carradine

[borgified]

You can get angry all you want @vwadamv as some hobby companies just tease only with the hopes of getting more traffic and protentional customers to their buy their products, but in reality it's marketing ploy. I can name maybe a few hobby companies that love to screw up customers minds in hoping that it will release in the product line, but it never happened after much complaining and ******* to much of the collectors that are into it.

I'm getting into this hobby just now, with this figure, and I've spent these last few weeks trying to get to the bottom of this company and their practices. You're spot on as far as them "teasing" their customers, and seemingly delighting in that, regardless if they actually end up delivering the figure down the line or not. I'll react angrily to any reminder of that, if only in hopes that Hot Toys read forums like this and rethink their strategies. That fuming red face is a good symbol in this scenario - it's hard to miss.

I've seen a few comments this week after the recent Chris Evans head sculpt fiasco, claiming the only thing that works as far as us getting what we want is complaining; not backing down when there's an issue. Essentially bullying Hot Toys into putting out better products.
