Late 2012 wow, and how many ironman figs is that from then to now?

 

[DiFabio]

A lotta Iron Men.

It's already been discussed and mocked, but it got even better for people not following along.

Q: Fans are also very excited to see the final prototype of DC franchise Batman Returns . . . any updates on these figures?

A: Batman Returns - Yes, the Batman and Penguin figure will be announced this year around December.

HTJ: Goals and aspirations of 2014?

Howard Chan: I think that it becomes very exciting year is 2014. To be announced some looking forward personally, Hollywood masterpieces Batman Returns and BTTF is also ready to deploy.

Thanks for the quotes DiFabio, very good of you to do that. I have a good feeling about this

 

[YankeesFanboy]

So NECA's doing the Penguin in two scales, right? And Tweeterhead plans to do a Pfeiffer Catwoman statue, huh?

Oh, Howard, you misguided fool, you.

 

[S. Griffin]

At this rate, she'll be a long time comin'. Snicker.

 

[YankeesFanboy]

Did you not get the double entendre, the sexual innuendo?

 

[S. Griffin]

No I did.

I think there was a few months when HT shut us all up with the Batman Returns reveal at SDCC. But now as the year starts to end and still no preorder our voices are starting to rise up again. I think when people use the words “eventually will” is pointless. I guess I compare it to asking my kids to eat their dinners. It should be finished in 15 minutes. I know they eventually will but 1 3/4 hours siting at the table to finally finish their meal is ridiculous.

 

[S. Griffin]

Stephen King was wrong, Man. Everything IS NOT eventual.

 

[DiFabio]

I remember the wait for the Hot Toys Christopher Reeve Superman was painful. It wasn't as long as this mind you, but it went through the same stages of announcement, wait, QnA, wait, coming soon, wait.

This was before all of these releases (and excessive Iron Man). People lost their **** when DX 04 turned out to be Bruce Lee and not Superman.

 

[S. Griffin]

The wait for Hackman Lex and Stamp Zod will prove to be much much longer.

 

[Bo Shrek]

My biggest issue is not the wait but the cost of waiting. In 2012 a DX would be $220. We all know that this will not be the price if released today. We have not seen a DX in ages so sky’s the limit for pricing. If Commando is $250 and a hint of Diecast is $300 are we going to pay almost twice the amount for a DX today?

I said this before….the longer we wait the more HT gets paid!

So NECA's doing the Penguin in two scales, right?

They are? The only NECA Penguin I have heard of is the 1/4 scale figure. Did I miss something?

 

[YankeesFanboy]

They are? The only NECA Penguin I have heard of is the 1/4 scale figure. Did I miss something?

If we go by Keaton Batman, it'll happen. Eventually.

It's been discussed but this is still something horrible. Some figure review sites have noted that DXs will probably become insanely expensive. The DX11 and 12 were pretty expensive, even if they did have a good amount, and the Bank Robber Joker is actually the same price as the DX11 which is absolutely insane.

Ah, okay. I thought something official had been announced and I just missed it. Perhaps they will bundle the 7" scale Penguin with the 25th Anniversary Batman Returns Blu-Ray in 2017

If they become too expensive more people will just buy the recasts and the bootlegs which will improve to meet the demand.

I'm not intending to try and start an argument or anything in regards to people bashing hot toys for pricing.

Few months ago I would curse hot toys for how they price things etc but I watched this video from someone who lives in Hong Kong.I thought it was interesting video on how it all works. here's the link:

10 Facts about Secret Base, Hot Toys and Pricing - YouTube

My opinion of hot toys is slightly different. the way I understand the pricing is that sideshow is the ones bulking up the price.

However I am still very critical of hot toys in regards To the rubbish customer service they offer - barely no updates informing customers about coming releases they promise i.e batman returns. We have to find out through stupid Q&A stuff.

 

[YankeesFanboy]

Wait, there's also this?



No, no, no, absolutely no need for this in 1/6 scale.
