1/6 Hot Toys - The Flash - Batman and Batcycle Collectible Set

[T8OO]

I just used some Sideshow points and ordered this motorcycle. It has such a cool design, I had been hoping for Hot Toys to make one, based on the pics they did an awesome job on it!

I've got to admit the bike is the only thing not Snyderverse that has piqued my interest and has me tempted.

I think this bike is consistent in appearance with Snyderverse “Bat Stuff” what do you think?

To me the colors and design of this motorcycle scream Batman for some reason.

It does feel like a decent fit. It's also easier to get onboard seeing the "Snyder" edits of The Flash chase too.

Yeah, the bike looks ok. I've got the Batpod and have the Pattinson bike on order. I think that will be kind of a fun display case.

Some commentators have criticized it as having to much of a generic look without anything to designate it as a “Bat Bike” …I disagree I think that although there is no insignia or whatever on the bike it definitely looks like something that Batman (Snyderverse or not) would own use. That said I do think it probably fits best within the Snyderverse

Edit: Just like this does …

Yeah, to me this bike looks a lot like what I imagine the beast of a Batman from BvS would drive.

I certainly wouldn't call it generic. How many bikes has anyone seen that bloody size? The last thing it should have is an insignia imo.

I would say if he has a bike to compliment the huge tank-like batmobile it would be a bit sleeker than this. Still decent though. Fits better than the Bat Pod or Pattinsons.

Yeah seems like an insignia would be unnecessary and sort of lame

Indeed, Batman is literally riding the thing!

Concept art with alternative color schemes.

That black one is sexy.

I think they all look better than the one they went with...

Agreed

Surprised that Batman alone is almost gone at SS. So if anyone is still waiting better bite now. Unless you prefer the full set with bike.

That is surprising, maybe they only made 10.

 

[TheBatman]

I mean, its not the best looking suit...

Just their standard FOMO tactic. Hot Toys doesn't say we're making "x". It all depends on pre-orders. So SS is trying to force pre-orders. No doubt because they are low.

It's no different to someone here making a run of a custom xyz. You want people to pre-order so you know how much materials you need to order to cover the run.

I mean from what has been mentioned before they definitely don't want to have anymore stock stuck in their warehouse like before. So cutting it low makes sense seeing as how many don't like this figure.

Sure, it leads to the same outcome. Forcing people to order through FOMO.

Don't forget it's a business here as well. Hot Toys or SS won't sit there and do nothing if pre-orders are low. They need to cover their basic costs as well.

 

[DiFabio]

I wonder if there are ever cases where preorders are so low that it ends up being cost prohibitive and a risk to even manufacture a figure.

To date, every figure that has ever gone up for solicitations and preorder has been manufactured. I wonder what it does to Hot Toys and Sideshow when the numbers for preorders are at an all time low.

It works though, I’m fomoing hard…

And I don’t think it’s a standard tactic. Recently we’ve seen a lot of PO go to waitlist, way before release.
It would be very sleazy if they suddenly open a waitlisted PO close to release.
