Hot Toys 1/6 Tumbler/Batpod Batman

[Firebird]

Price and release date?

No price or release date yet, that I can see. I assume, we should find out more info later on this week.
------------------------------------------------------------------
It would of been better if HT had it in a camouflage version for the relaunch, but congrats to the people who didn't get the chance to own this the first time around.

Just when i think i'll be able to save some money up, they go and do this.

Yes! Missed this one first time round so will definitely grab one of these.

Hopefully they've learned from the packaging mistakes that caused so many of these to originally ship with damaged parts or paint rub to the car's roof.

 

[robomorph]

you've just got to laugh at the sheer audacity of some people...

Tumbler for $20k, anyone?

Ridiculous

Hot Toys spits in the face of flippers!

People won't buy it this time around either and will shoot back up in a year or so.

Curious to see what the price is since this looks to be just a straight re-release.

Given the latest price incresses of hot toys products, i don't think thst the cost of thisvreissue will ne the same of the first print... I think thst one will ne in the 5-600 dollars range... Now we van assume a straight reissue of the batpod too

 

[Dark_Spidey]

This is getting ridiculous...When something is "sold out", it should stay that way.
Not only do they keep reissuing figures they've already done, their prices increase as well.
This is a slippery slope Hot Toys, careful

I'm pleased this iss being re released, cant afford ebay prices, and i want one! so for me its a winner

 

[intothevoid]

Well, i'm not so sure the black tumbler will be released. I'm pretty confident the camo version will be released as it appears to feature prominently in TDKR - but so far there is NO confirmation that the black tumbler makes an appearance in the film.

Of course HT could re-release it regardless, but yeah, i'm not so sure.

Batpod though must be a certain re-release

+1

That's a great thing All the re-releases they seem to be doing are figures that have gone sky high on the second hand market. It's good business for them!

People need to start looking at Hot Toys' product differently to Sideshow's or Gentle Giant's or Bowen's etc. These items are neither intended nor solicited as numbered collector's editions. They're expensive and highly-detailed working toys. And as such, Hot Toys will reinvent, reissue and relaunch their products over and over again, as they see fit or as technology allows. And rightly so, because that's their business model. This year we're getting Robocop reissues, Batman reissues, Iron man reissues and probably more. So getting into Hot Toys for reasons of owning limited edition collectibles is only a route to eventual disappointment. Buying a Hot Toys figure is pretty much like buying a new TV. It's great when you get it, but a year down the line the same model will have had a revamp and an upgrade and yours will be obsolete. This is the world of mass production toys, not limited edition, certificated and numbered statues, and thats always how it's going to be with HT.

That's a really good post.

I'm pretty sure the Black Tumbler is in the new movie - there were plenty of shots of it on the Pittsburgh set. But I do think you're right in saying we'll get a camo version too.

You got a point there buddy.

Except that this looks like a simple rehash, no improvements. Of course nothing has been really announced yet but that's what it looks like.
So, no, in this case buying a HT fig is not like buying a TV

 

[eighthsamurai]

a TV you use. at least in that year, you get a ton of use out of it and therefore you can understand how it depreciates in value. a collectible figure is not like that. i highly doubt anyone actually "plays" with these expensive toys. they sit on a shelf for display most of the time. i would not be pissed off replacing a TV every couple years because i would have utilized it in those two years.

for me, it's not even about owning something limited, but i do want the best version of the figure i have. HT has every right to reissue what they want, so personally i'm not annoyed because my version is devalued every time HT rereleases something. it's that i have to shell out for the damn thing again! luckily in this case, it looks to be a straight reissue.

i hope they fix that damn light issue though.
