I never said a petition would help. I was just seeing if interest was there. Hts has not said it is cancelled and because they have nit released it yet does nit mean it is not coming out. You do nit know that. Also I do not know either. At this point it is still speculation on either sidr. Everyone thought returns batman would never come out, and it is. If no announcement next year with the 50th anniversary of the show, then I will give up hope, but till then it is still a possibility.
Sorry Bro, I gotta disagree with you...we do know! What we
know is Hot Toys has said they will release it. We
know they said it had production problems. And we
know SSCs has stated and still states that the car is still expected to be produced.
Until it is stated by Hot Toys otherwise, those are the facts! Period. Anything else is just fanboy conjecture based on what they think should be an expected release schedule. It has absolutely no merit or a shred of evidence to support that position other than some hyperbole about what they think Hot Toys is thinking.
I respect their opinions but it absolutely holds no water until Hot Toys confirms that its not coming out. Hot Toys has shown
A LOT of product that they haven't put up for pre-order. From Aliens to Iron Man. Doesn't mean they'll never produce it because it hasn't come up for pre-order yet.
I'll take one example...another Iron Man example, since most fans believe IM is HTs cash cow. Remember when they showed the Stealth Iron Man Mark III? That was like 4 or 5 SDCCs ago. That thing was all but dead. Most guys said it would never see the light of day. It was a bygone conclusion that they weren't going to produce it at all. Lo and Behold! Once they reworked the Mark III in diecast, here comes the Stealth Armor suit.
These figures take time to produce. Most manufacturer's claim at least 1 year from design concept to retail shelf...and that's the cheap retail stuff you buy at Target or Walmart. Can you imagine what it takes to produce these figures with all the mixed media and cut and sew that goes into it? Now double that for a 1/6 scale vehicle...not to mention trying to get the price below a grand (we hope
)
Sorry to be long winded and I hope this doesn't come across as an angry post because it's not. I just think we need to keep this all in perspective here. HTs does a lot of things that seemingly don't make sense. At least to us it doesn't but I'm sure it does to them and the market they're trying to reach.
