Hot toys sets the product run size long before the figures are announced. The size of the product run directly effects the profit the manufacture makes. Especially on a new tooled figure. The allotment a place like sideshow gets us adjustable, and they can adjust it up to a certain point before shipping. However, the preorders sideshow and big bad toys and so forth get does not effect the quality of a figure. And sideshow also is the major supplier for a lot of secondary retailers so the preorder lets them choose how much to offer to the public as presale, to the retail places, and how many they hold for day of. Again my point has been, in contradiction to yours, that the amount of preorders does not effect the quality control or design of the figures, as you implied. So do you want to discuss the actual issue or continue being a keyboard warrior running your mouth to someone you have no clue about?

Lipsmack's arguement was that if the quality of the figure sucked, preorders will drop due to lack of interest which WOULD MAKE HT do some corrections.

If said preorders are really low compared to HT's predictions, HT will hopefully make an attempt to fix it. If they dont, they'll potentially lose money.
 
A kid. Yep. A disabled us marine (medically retired after ten years) who got his MBA, worked as an accountant and then case worker then executive for a state subcontractor, whose job it was to help bring jobs and businesses to one of the ten largest metro areas in the USA, until I was forced to retire permantly due to the injuries I sustained while active duty in the marine corps. But yep, keep making those assumptions and name calling. I stated my opinion based on having run a business and my education, and especially in my second comment, said nothing directed at you personally despite you having taking a shot at me. Now again you make it personal to divert the topic from your lack of understanding.

Where do I even start... Good for you.. :dunno

Im not American, I dont give a **** what your jobs are or have been... Ive never once mentioned on here what my job is (mainly cause I dont need a crutch to win an argument or seem like I have credentials to reinforce my opinion).

and your comment simply proves that you have no idea what youre talking about

Thank you man, this point however is completely lost on this kid
 


Pretty sure a 2pac is coming back as a option possibly they "hot toys" love to bundle right now...
I am stealing that webbing design for my spidey display. Also will add real holloween webbing and mini spider's for my set up.

Your welcome, I enjoy reading good arguements and both of you have good points. Just wanted to clear things up.

We need an assistant to the mod here pronto.

I don't think it's to that point. No one has taken personal shots at eachother. Lipsmack is brash yes but he is making a valid arguement

Im honestly not seeing his point though :lol

He simply doesnt understand the process of getting these figures to market.. He basically is saying a preorder is a useless exercise and it has no effect on the attention given to a figure. Which simply isnt the case.

Frans joke is a bit of an insider, he's kidding

Well if his point is quality control doesnt affect preorders, right now he's losing the arguement, he hasn't put forward any compelling scenerios other than agreeing with you on the whole preorders are used to gage demand :dunno

And I'm still learning the ropes here :D haha frans ur funny :lol
 
Here's better shots at the Peter Parker figures. Shame that they're probably just kit-bashed for the convention.

I am torn between the two spidermans. Would be a "nobrainer" if the upcoming 2:n version had Garfield head as well.
Since it doesn't, I'm tempted to get the first version. I like both of the suits, but I'd prefer to get the unhooded look as well for my figures. (+I could buy it now). ;|
And no I don't want both, just starting this hobby and I have decided to stick with one figure per character. :)

(if I end up with the 2nd version anyway, do you think I should pre-order the regular version, or waitlist the exlusive one?)
 
The new costume is too dark! I know in the movie they changed the blue to a slightly darker blue, but on the HT figure it's like navy, it's all wrong!
