Hot Toys Bane 2.0 (The Dark Knight Rises)

[Ropen]

What's with sideshow and hot toys selling out all the recent batman figures? Did they not order enough because of the recent figures that sat on their shelves? I'm the type of the buyer who doesn't pre order usually because they haven't been on a waitlist for the longest time but as a distributor it feels weird they are selling items on a waitlist versus adding stock.

Hot Toys has reduced the amount of figures they produce for the past 2-3 years. Maybe longer. They used to overproduce figures, hence all the shelf warming figures on major discount on Sideshow.

Till this day, they’re STILL trying to get rid of certain figures from End Game. Doing 35% discounts throughout the year and still failing to get rid of stock. Nowadays, if there’s a figure you want your best chance is to preorder it. Most of their figures hit waitlist well before release or shortly after.
