But then you get something like Wolverine, which the likeness to Hugh Jackman is just as lacking as Indy's, who comes with very little in the way of accessories. . . and he's extremely hard to find, and commanding double the retail price. People are paying $300, for a figure who's likeness is lacking and comes with nothing other than 2 extra pairs of hands.
And here's Indy, who's likeness is lacking, and comes with 4 pairs of extra hands, an extra outfit, a display base, and the numerous other required accessories and people are saying "Hot Toys is phoning it in". Hot Toys has delivered one of the most 'deluxe' figures in recent memory. There's a distinct double standard here.
And the complaints about the quality lacking. . . how can you even judge quality at this point?? Quality is a tactile issue, you can't tell quality by looking at pictures. It certainly looks like a real leather jacket, the whip looks like it's braided leather, the boots look to be real leather shoes, not sculpted pieces. The shirt actually has buttons, as opposed to the little pearls that were on Sideshow's shirt. There's a lot there worthy of a 'deluxe' tag.
How can there be a quality issue when the materials are made just like the real thing??
