Lol at the constant complaining about hot toys prices.
Word, yet people drop 700 bucks on a custom suit for bruce wayne or 1000+ on "x" custom figure, none of which can hold a candle to this!!!

This is diecast not wood.
That's very true. Not a lot of diecast chairs out there ya know.
Generally I'd agree with you and generally I'd always pick the more deluxe package but in this particular case, the chair just does nothing for me and I can't see displaying Robo in it (similar to Hall of Armour for Iron Man, for me). I thought about displaying it in the background (which I could see being kind of cool) but I'm going to have ED-209 and Robo in the same space, so the chair doesn't make sense. Very cool of Hot Toys to give collectors this option, though. Hope it's something that continues because there will be cases where I'd be glad to pay the additional ~$120.00 for a good quality accessory or dio.The chair gives you several more posable options. Too many figs in my detolf on simple nameplate stands.

Have to agree in the sense that we're 'lucky' that Hot Toys is around to produce mass market figures of this quality, but don't see the point in comparing SSC/HT to customs. It's a totally different metric when it comes to value. And definitely some of the custom work more than carries its weight even compared to Hot Toys.Word, yet people drop 700 bucks on a custom suit for bruce wayne or 1000+ on "x" custom figure, none of which can hold a candle to this!!!

**The Mechanical Chair (Docking Station) is not made of diecast material

ill wait till we get the 1/4 diecast re-release in a couple of years
In a couple years, a 1/4 die cast will be like $800. haha.
He is like a broken record player that plays the same 5 seconds of music over and over and over. So annoying
Sorry fellas (and gals) its just I'm an old duffer and the only way I know to save a thread on this is to make a comment which is why I made the same one on both. Saying that I've just realised how to do it and also I have ordered the chair version TO GO WITH MY EB 1/4.
It really does have to hit a plateau already though. The product has absolutely improved significantly over the years (the MMS10/26/32 compared to this is one of many examples) so naturally the price will follow suit, but where does it end? Next year when a MMS is $275 on average? Yea the improvement in product and increase in price should naturally move upward in the same direction but I'm sure that over the years HT has been able to produce for less and produce more effientily; I guess that's a whole different part to the convo though.
Hell you know me, I'm part of the small niche in this community that will spend big money on a custom fig, outfit or accessory but I see the value in that and understand why small operations have to price things that way; but when a big mass producing company that has they're game tight and you KNOW they are producing for dirt cheap is charging $125 for a 1/6 chair, and you can get a very decent 1:1 chair for less .... you start to think "where the f__k is this all going"
