1/6 Hot Toys - MMS347 - Deadpool (2016) - Deadpool Collectible Figure

[guyver1]

What can you do though, everywhere is sold out of Preorders, you don't want to go the ebay route because chances are if you go for a HK vendor, they probably have the first run with the sleeve issues.

There's no guarantee that an Asian vendor will have the 2nd run with the fixed sleeves so the smart thing to do is just wait for a DP II version

I also imagine in the case of the BvS Batman figure going to wait list has a lot to do with Hot Toys improperly guaging interest in the figure. Its not their fault though, since BvS received negative reviews, and when the prototype figure was first shown no one liked it. So at that point they probably decided to keep production numbers down so that not many of these will be warming store shelves. Hot Toys then revealed their updated figure, and everyone liked what they saw, so Hot toys had to up production late in the game. This would account for the many delays the BvS Batman has undergone.

Get on the waitlist. You think a business would sacrifice sales if there is a genuine interest? They will see that there is a ton of interest and up their production levels to meet the demand.

An increased demand is not the same as decreased production numbers.

But we have no idea if there has been an increase. Time from PO to release has increased also (almost year for something as simple as BTTF2 Marty?). So they could be down a factory for some reason or just have a lot more to make (seems like something new comes up for PO almost every week) so maybe shorter production runs to get everything out? Obviously none of us know so it's just speculation.

Not holding my breath, I don't have to worry, but if this is the case, why haven't they done a second run for Batfleck yet? My Batfleck is coming in two weeks but for everyone else, I'm surprised there isn't a second run for this and Batfleck yet

That theory is a contradiction. Longer time from PO to release would mean longer production runs, not shorter.

Technically, they havent even done a first run of Batfleck since they havent arrived at Sideshow in the States yet.

Speculate and freak out. Thats what we all do.
Till somebody who knows Howard's uncle bodyguard neigbour or who have inside info within inside info, nothing is for sure.

I think HT probably didn't think this figure would sell out so quickly and in such demand that's why they went half ass on QC originally.

Think about how they are made and how many different figures they are making they don't have time for longer runs.

Yep it is all just a guess

So what I am understanding here is some people cant/wont justify the pre-order/figure because of the inherent issues (which are somewhat getting fixed with a longer peg).

These same people are hoping for a Deadpool 2 down the line.

If people don't want to pre-order it, then let them wait.
At this point, it can go either way (Deadpool 2 or no Deadpool 2). Who really knows?

In the end, we have all made our choices.

I can't speak for anyone else, but my take is to guarantee someone will get the fixed 2nd run, they have to go through SSC. Otherwise it's not worth it to pay extra and get it from ebay from another vendor because the odds are they will probably have the first run.

The problem is that there is no guarantee that a WL for this will convert, the demand is too high like Batfleck and hardly doubt anyone will cancel their orders

As someone that tried to get Batfleck and failed, I understand the frustration of these people.

How did you fail?

 

[subzro]

At least with Batman we know that HT will make more for the JL film next year.

I don't know their situation but DP you can't even find the WL link

I just searched Hot Toys Deadpool on Google.

I'll have to go with that one. Missed out on the BvS version.
