Hot Toys- Batman Begins:Batman Demon & Scarecrow spec and pics

[DiFabio]

Any word on how much it will cost from toys2? I'd be interested in having my name on this list if the price is reasonable.

 

[emceerice]

No confirmation on price/release from Eric. Toys2 is usually MSRP though.

 

[DiFabio]

Thanks. Which email is it? Is it his own or do I just email the one provided on their site?

 

[Geil]

Email Eric from toys2. He has a waitlist...I added my name to it, he said he will hold one for everybody on it.

What do we need those for?

Haha. A bit of off-topic is always bound to happen, but when it's happening in every thread it gets a bit annoying. Always happens over holiday periods: people have extra time on their hands, they're forced to be with members of their family who get on their nerves, they take their frustrations out with aggressive posts, that sets off other people, board members trawl through 10 pages of hero-worship, disrespect, homophobia, ignorance and deliberately provocative posts looking for on-topic information and get on their soap boxes about how people can't tell their family they hate them so take out their frustrations onli... wait...

Cheers mate!

Yeah the address on his site will be fine.

 

[DiFabio]

Thought so. Just sent them an email. Thanks for the heads up man. I knew they were going to get them, but I wasn't aware of a list.

If this is in the $300-$350ish range, I'm definitely in.

Thanks again. I appreciate it.

Absolutely guys...this is a much better option than evilbay. Don't feed these scalpers.

How do I get to order this?

 

[Boba Ben]

I sent Eric an e-mail as well.

 

[Geil]

Btw you guys do realize that this list has started long time ago and is rather long and there is no guarantee that you will get this even if you are on that list since Eric has no info as of yet how many he is getting and will still likely be limited. Just realize all this time giving business to him regularly and not canceling on him will be what sets you apart from the many that are sure to bang on his door now.

Yes, I know that a waitlist doesn't guarantee anything.

Eric is good people. If you get on the list, make sure you want one.

I like scarecrow.

(just trying to get back on topic )

Seriously though, its good to see more and more of these sets appear on ebay, but they seem to still be way too highly priced for me (£400 give or take), and people are actually paying that for it. Shame. Keeping my fingers crossed for OSB as this and the T1 T800 are the only things that i've been interested in from hot toys for a little while.

 

[sfa]

^ Yeah it's a shame the prices haven't shown signs of dropping anytime soon.
Is there a certain time people are waiting until before making the decision to buy or not?
My absolute limit for this set is £250 but I'd prefer to pay less than that if possible!

Yeah same here, i might be able to stretch to £300 but thats it. I'm not paying the £400 odd its going for on ebay. I dont have a time limit, i'm just eeping an eye out until i see something i can afford. There was a scarecrow with no bats on ebay yesterday for £150 buy it now but i was at work and by the time i went to check on it again it had sold. I thought that was a pretty good price. Just a case of keeping an eye out and your fingers crossed i guess.

 

[sfa]

^ I saw that Scarecrow yesterday too... I was very tempted to buy it, but including shipping it came to £180 which is just way too much for a figure with no accessories IMO. I'd rather hold out in hope for getting the whole set for £250 rather than half the set for that price.
Hopefully soon we'll start seeing more of these hitting ebay and hopefully at lower prices too.
Like you say, got to keep your eyes peeled and fingers crossed!

 

[Russell1982]

Yeah thats what i was thinking, i was looking at it thinking "should i go for it". I figured if i found the set for a decent price after i could always sell or trade the extra scarecrow. But alas, it was snapped up. haha.
Ideally i'd like to get the set, but scarecrow is a must for me. Even with no accessories he's one of my favourite batman villains. Would LOVE a hot toys Arkham Asylum version. I'm really hoping (though doubtful) they take on Arkham City for their VGM series. Would make sense as batman is always a big seller for them and it would help fill out the VGM series.

 

[sfa]

Yeah Scarecrow is a must have for me too, I've been wanting a HT Scarecrow ever since they made Two-Face. If he does end up on the market solo for a good price I'd easily take one, but the demon Batman has grown on me quite a bit so I think I'd prefer to have the full set.
Arkham Asylum/ Arkham City figures would look amazing done by HT, though given the size and complexity of some of the characters I bet they'd only make a handfull of the villains.

emceerice is the wish list the same thing as the wait list? I emailed him a little while back and asked and was put on the wish list. I know Geil is guaranteed one. Wonder who else is definitely getting one.
