And that’s the problem. People are fine with accepting mediocrity so Hot Toys gets away with releases like this.
I don’t see how any one could look at this thing and think “oooh yeah, the Batman figure of my dreams right there”. People are on here are like “it needs some work, but I still like it”. Needs some work? An all new head to get rid of the giraffe neck and cartoony caricature faces? An all new cape? Source other figures for better weapons/accessories? At $250+ for a figure that’s been done multiple times already? So other than this simply being an opportunity to get a Bale/Begins Batman, what is good about this thing?
I just don’t get it. When Hot Toys releases a 5th 1/6 Begins Batman and it looks like this one again, I’ll be sure to point at all the people that happily bought this one as the reason nothing has changed. That’s why they’ll never improve it.
