It just doesn't sit well with me. If there was uncertainty about it, yeah, but we pretty much know, y'know? We know! As it is I'm pushing it with the price I'm asking in my FS thread.

Q2 how much do they think the average HT collector earns? Give us some prep time. I better start putting some dollar away for the 89 Batmobile if that's the sort of notice were going to get.

But I don't think HT give a damn about our financial status. :lol

That's one thing I've noticed with Hot Toys, there will be no prep time :gah:

I've had to make decisions based on what I like most. Because Batman is my fav, I've had to skip or cancel figures like all the new Iron man figures (Mark I, II V), Iron Monger, Reeve Superman, Jake Sully, all Predator, Jack Sparrow, Spider-man etc...it's too much money and the releases are too often/close.

I'm new to the game and only have Batman Begins, Tumbler (Preorder) and Boba fett (Preorder). I'm not going spend thousands upon thousands of dollars on these toys. Not rich! :lol

Seems like hot toys is re releasing every thing now a days , I wonder if this is pissing off a lot of collectors.

I got this when it was first released and I'm happy for the guys that missed out. What bothers me is when they "improve" the figure. I don't feel compelled to get the new one but I often want the new upgrades which usually come at a high premium online.

When it's just a straight rerelease, everyone wins...except those wanting to maintain its subjectively inflated after market value of course.

Finally a re-release I'm happy to see!

I passed on the V1 and now I'm glad between the broken spoilers and other issues, not to mention its ebay price. Glad to have a second chance at a better quality one at a decent price.

And I'm glad its black and not camo. I was afraid the only Tumbler HT would put out this year would be the camo ones.

I wonder, if they do release the camo version, which camo version(s) will be released?

There are 3 Camo tumbler versions (4 if you count the pristine BB prototype version as a separate version of the dirty "model A" below).

1. BB (clean) / TDKR (dirty) camo tumbler "model A" - standard tumbler body, identical in shape to the black version.

2. TDKR Bane camo tumbler "model B" with armored windsheild and concealed "pop-up" rocket launcher

3. TDKR Bane camo tumbler "model C" with mounted rocket launcher

Model A seems the most likely to be released, since it would require no modification/fabrication of new parts, just a repaint.

Still, I wouldn't be surprised if HT also did at least one of the other versions, (mounted rocket launcher :pray:

) since it is not like they have to start completely from scratch.

The best option would be a camo version with swappable parts, like figure's heads, so collectors can display any of the three versions they like best.
