Hot Toys 1/6th scale BATMAN (Original Suit) Photo thread

But I think Bum might be addressing that if they have this figure in hand, they should have contacted people that were on that cancelled pre-order list and given them an opportunity ahead of others, they had places orders and only cancelled because BBTS did it due to not expecting the item.

Yeah I was one of the people who pre-ordered. I did cancel though when I found him in stock at Toys2. I wonder why they thought that they wouldn't be getting any in.

I'm curious where they got them, as Hot Toys has it marked out of stock.

Well BBTS does buy stuff from people, so coulda been a few purchases they made from customers.

 

[MaulFan]

Didn't someone post in here that they were sold in slightly worn condition?

My guess is it was a small ammount they found in a warehouse or got through some source, but not a direct from HT shipment.

Yeah they were listed as "Substandard quality only".

Sub-Standard only refers to the box condition. Which is usually darn near perfect anyway.

They are brand new figures.

I could of ordered, but I passed.

Yeah I clarified with the CS rep, she noted that up to 40% of the box may be damaged, which is why I hesitated since I display the box. But sounds like this description may or may not be accurate. But grats to those that got one.

I have my tracking number from UPS!!

How did Toys2 send them out? was the actual figure box wrapped in like tracing paper tissue as well as the box of polystyrene? or just sitting in a box full of polystyrene?

I had it preordered from them and they cancelled it along with everyone else's. I too thought it a bit odd that they wouldn't contact those people who previously had it on pre-order.

Anyways, I ordered it this morning and it shipped today.

Its been about a month so I can't recall exactly, but I believe they had it in tracing paper. Just checked my box and it is pretty flawless.

Typically, standard figures like these come from Toys2 in a heavy stock carboard shipper that fits the figure package perfectly, a piece of carboard inside at the top and bottom, and the HT package wrapped in tissue paper. Never had a figure show up beaten on from Toys2.

Yea, i have been to the Toys2 Store many of times and Eric is a super nice guy to deal with..for the only store that deals 1/6th locally i would only deal with him most times over paying for anything online(as i do not have to pay shipping) and he lets me choose between a slew of the same figure so, i can pick out the one with better paint application, never had anything bad to say about his service..even my Hot Toys endo i bought from him awhile back, came with a missing neck tendant or rod whatever..he got me a replacement pretty fast.

Holy cow! Looks like my Batman from BBTS will be here tomorrow! Well, I guess since BBTS is based in Minnesota, it doesn't take long at all to get to Iowa.

 

[lobox42]

My Batman be in my hands on 03/17/2009 with the tracking number!!!:chew

 

[Odowankenobi]

Got my Batman today. For those wondering what the Sub-standard meant: In my case the bottom right corner of the box was kinda crushed. But I open my figures anyways and the figures is perfectly in tact.

Good to hear dude. Glad you got it intact!

Well, after playing around with him a bit and trying him out in different poses I think I can honestly say I like this figure better than the new suit version. This just has a more classic and iconic look to it which makes for a better looking display piece. TDK version suit is great, don't get me wrong. It's still a phenomenal figure that I'm thrilled to have, but the first suit outclasses it for me.

It seems this figure is back up at BBTS. It is more expensive though, $240 vs the $180 of a few days ago:

whoa. haha. I wrote an app to email me when it was in stock again...and yesterday it went back "in stock" at 174.99 again. I jumped all over it this time. The minute I put my purchase through it said "out of stock" again.

Guess they figure they can mark it up since it sells out so fast :/
