Re: Hot Toys Captain America:Civil War Captain America"Battling Version" Movie Promo
Sure. You're not wrong in saying that. Add exclusive, limited, or promo edition in front of anything and most collectors will drop to their knees for it. Doesn't matter if it is a $200 Hot Toy, a $10 Funko Pop, or a $2 Hot Wheels car. Heck, if all you added was the scratched shield and removed the A logos, changing nothing else from the normal release, but still titled it with the limited prefix, it would have sold out.
But on that same token, why do we add battle damage to Tony faces beneath Iron Man masks? Shouldn't he be less likely to have damage than a half exposed face? Both are shown beaten up in every film. Personally speaking, I don't see why it should have been skipped on this figure. Limited or not, open face IM sculpts regularly have it. It just seems like either an oversight or just a "whatever" situation.
Personal opinion, a lot of good that does though. However many units of this figure exist are now sold out and done now, as you said. Such is business.
