Hot Toys - Hall of Armor

[badrat]

I'm not bothered by re-releases, reissues what ever. Bring on the Mk 1 I say

i am not bothered that they make the rerelease better, i am bothered because they have a bad habit of purposely releasing the first one without adding stuff they know they can add because they are already planning for a rerelease. this happened with the mark 3, the joker, the dark knight batman, etc, etc.

Most tech companies do the same thing. Apple and their iPhone is a perfect example.

I'd really go for a captive Stark figure with new RDJ sculpt, light up chest RT and anvil and hammer.

And car battery, plugged into his chest.

That would instant buy

At this point I would expect a John Favreau relatively soon.

yes because the tech industry and the collectible industry are the same things. why doesn't sideshow rerelease pffs? i don't see any other high end collectibles company doing it to hot toys' degree.

also, what is up with ppl always defending a company's lame strategy? you do not own it nor are you a part of it so stop giving me the "its ok because every business does it" excuse. if you are just mad because you missed out on a MK 1 or something just say that.

it is always the kids who just started collecting hot toys who are the biggest hot toys butt kissers. and there you go with the gifs again. is it not possible for you to communicate your thoughts using just words?

it seems like you are missing the point. not all of us have our mommies giving us money to preorder everything hot toys releases like you. an iphone is not a collectible like a figure. if i had a iphone, i would not really care if they release a better one since i am buying it for practical purposes, not for its value as a collectible.

no other collectibles company does the rereleasing thing in such a short time span as much as hot toys. you can't answer why sideshow doesn't do it as much or any other company with a huge market share like bandai.

let's see. i complain because hot toys seems like it is overmilking, and you complain because i am complaining?

I must have gotten under your skin. That makes me happy.

Now go AWAY!!

actually, bandai is even more notorious when reissuing and remaking. HT is just following their footsteps I think

Dunno if youve ever heard of the SH Fgiuart or Saint Cloth Myth line by Bandai, they actually reissued the Gold saints like 4-5 times already, without adding or changing the sculpts or box design.

This year, they just remake the entire Gold saints line with new body and sculpts. Collectors complain, but so long as they are making quality collectibles, collectors would still end up buying anyways

My thoughts are buy them or don't. No one wants to keep hearing grown people complaining about toys. This forum is for those who enjoy the hobby. And if some intelligent debate happens between the forum readers, then outstanding!

I like how the Orbi custom version can link up to three bases onto the same board so they draw power from the same source. That and the single wall separating the chambers already gives them a leg up over HT in my opinion but it all comes down to the price for me.

 

[Hydeous]

Okay guys, different opinions are cool, but please do so in a respectable manners and please stay on topic

As princess Leia said to Han, "you assume too much."

Dude we get it that some people don't like re-releases, some of us don't mind. I am gonna respect the MOD's wishes stay on topic for now.

SO.....I haven't looked up this and research these bases and maybe someone posted and I missed it. If so I apologize for the following question:

Anybody know if the bases are gonna be battery powered? I hope not. I rather they can be plugged in to an electrical outlet.

Mrjasontodd mentioned that the custom ones can be connected but i'm curious about the official Hot Toys ones. I do admit the custom ones are sweet though.

 

[Hydeous]

Judging from past items by HT, like the DX base and the partial ones that come with the Mark IV and V, I'm assuming this will be battery powered.

oooooh fiddle sticks!!!

I'm not good enough with electronics to converts to usb powered like some of the other freaks on the boards did with their Mark IV and VI.

I'm sure there are tutorials around the net, if you look for it.
