Oh, man....this turned out so great. I'm not a fan of Affleck or BvS but Batman did look amazing in the movie(what you actually see of him) and this fig is very well done.
Now give us your money!
Na, good luck to anyone buying this but I kinda feel these figures are a bit dead to me right now. The prices are insane. There's no feeling of exclusivity anymore - everyone in the world seems to be buying these figures and there are a bazillion Facebook groups about them. People buying and selling constantly, trying to make money and then reviewers either buying them to review then sell on for profit or make money on their Youtube page - it's not for me.
Hot Toys just jump on the band wagon of whatever film is popular at that moment and try to cash in.
It all leaves a sour taste.
I feel the exact opposite. I don't really care about exclusivity and if everyone else is collecting. I'm just glad that I'm able to get the figures I want at their retail price. Yes, $210-$250 for these figures is a lot of money, but so are most other collectibles worth investing in. Just my two cents.
Naw man. Clearly a sound business jumps onto unpopular things to make products for.

I think a factor we can consider is accurate fabric in real life vs accurate-LOOKING material for the figures. Yeah, what you said made me think that runners like Usain Bolt and even gymnasts use tight clothing yet it works and moves like second skin. I was under the impression that more loose=more movement because I thought of ninjas' baggy pants, but then now I realize that it must be of different make and material compared to Batman's suit.
Yeah, I guess baggy crotch wasn't as noticeable on Spidey's as his legs are also thinner, making them looking long and still proportionate even with low pants.
Anyway, looking at the pictures I'm really impressed most by how the abdominals seem to move like they're real muscles -- and it seems that HT is also proud of that. So credit where credit is due:
The Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice 1/6th scale Batman collectible figure has started shipping worldwide and many fans were simply stunned by this Dark Knight’s final product!
Since the introduction of the Batman collectible figure’s prototype, Hot Toys talented production team has worked diligently to enhance the figure to best reflect the spectacular physique of Batman and his unique Batsuit.
In order to capture Batman’s muscular body frame in the film, our team members have devised an innovative method to combine the specially developed body with a unique tailoring of the Batsuit. When fans get their hands on this Hot Toys collectible figure, they can instantly feel the difference from other regular action figures as the chest and the abdominal will feel like human muscles. There is also no sacrifice of articulations as wide range of motions can be achieved while the muscle on the torso can also contour in very natural way that is absolutely unprecedented in any collectible figures out in the market to date.
Hot Toys is extremely proud of this Batman collectible figure that requires true dedication from our team and receiving the overwhelming positive response of the final product from fans. We will continue to make new breakthroughs to bring more truly amazing collectible figures to our supporters.

Yeah seriously, who cares why others are buying or reselling them or HT creative business decisions, none of that matters to me if there's a figure I want and can afford.
Agreed. It's not hard to understand why they've become so popular and expensive, given that the quality has improved tremendously over the last few years. People are starting to take notice, and rightly so.
And that means more companies making a greater variety of figures, which is also cool.
Sorry WB, we decided to not make Batman so that we could concentrate on those Brady Bunch figures.
I was going to buy this car until I saw that this little brat bought one, cancelled.
Superman tshirt..pfft.

I've had this figure in my cart at least 3 times now but little things keep nagging me.
It's a lot of money to drop on a figure so little things like saggy crotch, thick neck and loose cowl are stopping me. However, most of that will be hidden when posed so the real questions is, how poseable is this guy.
If I can put him in some good poses, I'll definitely get him. The problem is, by the time videos come out, will anyone have any stock left. I already missed out on the Superman figure.
That's because they don't charge flex payments through on the last payment until the item is actually in stock so if you were to leave it on its last payment you would probably get it about a few weeks to a month after those that pay in full. You could just push that final payment through, its what I always do when I get to my last flex payment that way when its in stock sideshow just ships it ASAP.
