Well nam. You know I've agreed with you on some occasions. This is the one of the times I have to disagreed with you, and I honestly think that you're taking this hate for Hot Toys too far. Are you telling me that you will never buy a figure from Hot Toys again? I think people who have gotten a replacement from the company should come here and say look they rectified my problem. I'm happy. This is a forum where we all can share our fortunes along with misfortunes. As for taking it to the other DX TDK thread I think people SHOULD post here about their replacements and happiness with the company so that others know how to rectify the problem, which is to contact Hot Toys.
No, I'm saying people shouldn't let HT slide for this. It's a serious issue. Also the "feel good for me about the DCD" posts are douchy. If you're contributing more than "Hey, let HT off the hook because they're sending me one that's fixed!" by all means, stay put and keep us informed. But again, what I've been seeing is, "Lay off HT" or "give them a break" or "feel happy for me" type of ____. To me that's rubbing it in the face of every poor bastard who has to continually wipe their DX Batman like a potty training toddler.
For example: Some people don't know how to contact HT in regards to a replacement and don't know how to go about finding out the information (which I don't understand because its right on their website) they come here and ask and those of us who have gone through the process can inform them. So yes I think there should be equal share in this thread for both parties.
And those are the people HT is blatantly ____ing over by not doing a recall and/or limiting the replacements to one figure. They've made absolutely no effort to publicly address that the know there's an issue and that they're offering a fix. Think about that.
As for your signature: I think you're being a little hypocritical. "Anyone who holds to a single way of thinking is blind to the truth." Aren't you holding to a single way of thinking? At this point you're dead set on bashing Hot Toys. If you weren't holding true to that way of thinking you would open mindedly look at this situation and asses.
I have looked at the situation. I see it from both sides. I understand that people who got a "fixed" Bats are excited about it. But bragging about it or expecting people to let HT off the hook for fixing it before the DCD shipment is jacked. Additionally, from HT's perspective, yeah, I understand it'd be one hell of a costly fix. But in the end, right is right. And all I've seen from them is blatant and intentional evasiveness in an effort to put the problem behind them and move on. When you're charging HT prices for toys, that's inexcusable.
Looking at this situation as a business owner (viewing it from the alternative POV), I'd still offer an exchange to anyone who had these issues. Issue 10 of our magazine had some issues with blank, non-printed pages and we didn't know how many were shipped (it wound up being thousands). I jumped on the forums, sent fliers to stores, made an announcement on our website and on our MySpace page (back then no facebook or twitter). Although it cost us money, we replaced every single issue that was reported, including international. Sure it wasn't cost effective, and I could just as easily have written them off, but I didn't. I replaced the faulty issues. It's the right thing to do. In the end, our customers/readers were happy and we were more respected for it.
Read the sig bub, read the sig.
