HOT TOYS - DX15 - Batman Returns KEATON BATMAN

[YankeesFanboy]

According to MC, DX01 was a $160 PO at Urban Collector, DX02 was $165 at BBTS and DX12 was $240 at BBTS. DX11 was $253 at Alter Ego and $275 at Sideshow (exclusive) and BBTS.

Yep, those were the days...[emoji26]

Yup, the first two DX figures were basically standard MMS prices. One DX 01 I bought for $160, then I bought a second brand new/mint off of ebay for $120 a few weeks later. I bought x2 of DX 02 from BBTS for $160 something too. Other retailers always had great deals.

Then Sideshow came in and got the rights and ok to distribute DC products and it's been down hill (or up hill as far as cost goes) since. Reeve Superman, Nicholson Joker, Keaton Batman and the Toy Fairs 2011 Begins Bale were the ones that pushed the pricing through the roof.

Now that's what I call a deal.

That would be pretty friggin' sweet. On an unrelated note, I wonder why we haven't seen Drax yet? And there's a DeLorean that's still up in the air.

They could be making some alterations to Drax. As for the Delorean, don't expect it too soon. It's been about two years since the '66 Batmobile was shown, and it's still not up, yet.

Good time to start saving up for it... haha

Yeah, I don't think we'll see a PO on the DeLorean until next year, but some guys are convinced it'll come quickly because it's been on Sideshow's Coming Soon page for weeks.

They must be new. [emoji6]

Nah, I think $300 for a DX will be more the rule than the exception. DX14 is essentially a "gift" at only $230.

There's no real basis for that though. The DX13 is the only one to break the $300 mark so far and that was a loaded set and worth the price in my opinion.

 

[YankeesFanboy]

Or wishful thinkers.

Those were the good ol' time to be collecting, wasnt it?

I remembered not POing the DX01 as I want to buy it immediately upon release in HK, and back then the HK resellers was pretty decent, bout $50-75 mark up than the PO price, which was bout $260 shipped for the DX01.

I think DX07 was around $300 as well, but that came with two figures and a huge antenna.

I'd love it if future DX releases were all $250 or less, but I don't think that'll be the case. I have a feeling that either the Jack license was about to run out, or HT couldn't put something else together, so they gave us a nice, but non-essential, Mime Joker instead of an ambitious one. Great character, not a memorable costume, sparse accessories and the infamous cardboard backdrop.

If you just go by the rising prices of DXs over the past few years, how can future releases not start at $270? That's just another reason why I can't wait for the Returns PO. I want to see how far the trend goes.

The Batmobile was on Sideshow's "coming soon" page right after SDCC 2012, as well. You get my point.

You still confident HT is going to release it?

 

[batfan08]

I hope so. If there's one thing this hobby has taught me, though, it's that good things come to those who wait. I think it was like 2 years between when Reeve Superman was teased, and when he came out, then, this year, we saw that Returns and Arkham are coming after two years, and, as far as Batmobiles go, it was about a year after the DX 08 and DX 09 came out before the Furstmobile hit. I think it'll happen.

 

[dw316]

Yeah. I'm already planning ahead and trying to save and buy smart since there were some reveals at sdcc that I'm planning on getting to complete my collections.

Yup. Then remember when they actually parted out their sets and started the auctions at .99 cents?

"Good deals" are essentially a thing of the past.

They still do now, except we have a lot of collectors bidding on them now, compared to only a handful of collectors buying them back then.

After that ****ing Bank Robber 2.0 and it's ridiculous price, $300+ for a bare bones DX wouldn't surprise me.

I bought the DX 13 ex. (and built up a second so I could have both T-800 looks), but that $305 price tag was bull crap. I wouldn't have given in had I not had rewards points. Compared to the DX 07 Bespin Luke, that thing has horrible value for what you pay. I mean what, the chrome T-1000? Black suit Spidey came with two heads and that big ole' Sandman statue and it was $180.
