Re: Hot Toys - Toy Fairs Exclusive 2014 - Bank Robber Joker 2.0 ?

In regards to Ra's perhaps Neeson denied.
 
Re: Hot Toys - Toy Fairs Exclusive 2014 - Bank Robber Joker 2.0 ?

Re-issues of characters dont really annoy me, but when its at the potential cost of other figures that havent even seen an initial release yet:

Gordon
Blake
Ra's

Then it makes me sad :thud:

I'd rather see 50 Jokers than one Blake. Ugh what a boring figure.
 
Re: Hot Toys - Toy Fairs Exclusive 2014 - Bank Robber Joker 2.0 ?

Yeah, I already knew what the responses and counters would be. I've been at this point before, just not to this extent. That's why I've been deleting my posts. I dunno, it just bums me out a bit because it feels like it's hit critical mass overload.

Don't leave, DiFabio. You're one of my favorite people here.:lecture Seriously, though; if you have to, restrict yourself to the non-collectible threads or something, but yeah...don't leave.:hi5:
 
Re: Hot Toys - Toy Fairs Exclusive 2014 - Bank Robber Joker 2.0 ?

I'm pretty sure all the negativity would diminish 100% over this and The Bat if they would just release Batman Returns. The DC section has pretty much sucked all year other than Batman and Robin (for me). Mime Joker is a great figure, I picked him up.. but he is niche. Not a lot of board excitement over that one.

The truth is, this Bank Robber Joker could turn out to have the best HS out of all the Jokers and I think that will bring a large degree of excitement. Now whether or not that translates to the finished product...

I'm gonna at least wait to see the figure before I make a judgment call.

Yeah I think that's what's stopping a release of a Ra's

I got the Pop Toys set & will be getting the Figure Club set so I'm not that bothered HT cant do a Ra's

That's part of the reason why I think people should wait a couple weeks before getting pissed off. There's always the chance of disappointment, but there's also a chance that people could see the stuff they've been waiting for at the same cons these are being sold at.
 
Re: Hot Toys - Toy Fairs Exclusive 2014 - Bank Robber Joker 2.0 ?

Hope it's 1/4 but highly doubt it. Wouldn't make much business sense for HT to make it an exclusive.

Im agree mate, 1/4 BR joker is very good business if they make it retail instead of exclusive.
Im still can not figure it out why they release another ledger joker. I love dark knight trilogy, but enough is enough
Please no more ledger joker, Howard !!!!!!

Anybody have any ideas/thoughts of what the ironman figure is?

there is a raging knock-down drag out fight what IM it is in the Marvel thread!
 
Re: Hot Toys - Toy Fairs Exclusive 2014 - Bank Robber Joker 2.0 ?

Again, HT follows the MONEY now- that's why such figures as Lone Ranger are not being made. This ONE Joker will sell out and make alot more $$$$ for them- look at the dud exclusives from last summer still lingering around.
 
Re: Hot Toys - Toy Fairs Exclusive 2014 - Bank Robber Joker 2.0 ?

I'm in for this figure. I've almost bought the original release a few times but glad I held off. I wish that Hot Toys would do a figure we don't have yet like Ra's or Blake though.

Have they ever sold out at SDCC or do you mean after they go up on Sideshow

SS has them for sale at their site and plenty found at retail still on Ebay
 
Re: Hot Toys - Toy Fairs Exclusive 2014 - Bank Robber Joker 2.0 ?

What if they are photos of the movie and not the actual figure, meaning Predator, Batman Dark Knight and Iron Man?
 
Re: Hot Toys - Toy Fairs Exclusive 2014 - Bank Robber Joker 2.0 ?

Who's blaming other collectors for buying redos of characters they already have? Nobody.
(...)

Sure they do. I read lots of posts over the past months of people complaining about Hot Toys but specially about (in their opinion) dumb collectors asking for more Nolan Batman releases or re-releases, as if that would cause that Hot Toys doesn’t release other things.

There were many imo disrespectful posts towards Nolan Batman collectors pointing at them as if they were collecting just because they don’t like other things and are pathologically fixated on this line and things like that.

But I’m sure I’m not only speaking for myself when I say that this is wrong. I collect things from this line as I love the movies and especially the art of the movies so I love to have realistic models from them to look at at home. Re-releases are in the nature of these high-end collectibles as there is a chance to get them close / closer to perfection compared to other kinds of collectibles (posted all that before but counter arguments are simply ignored anyway, right? …).

There are many other movies I love, and I also have many other collectible, but I couldn't and wouldn't concentrate as much on them collectible-wise. Am I alone with that. - Don't think so. Is that dumb? - Don't think so. Hence I think I understand why HT keeps making these figures. But if they didn’t I wouldn’t go into other threads of other collectibles to complaining about the collectors.

I don’t mind when a thousand people post that they don’t like a figure release or the way a company behaves and so on, in fact I even share some opinions, just take a look at my opening post:

Fan said:
(…) Though I must say I would have appreciated to see other undone TDK trilogy characters over this, like Ra's, Trenchcoat Gordon / Bat-Signal, Blake and so on.

I also understand the frustration about other releases that people are waiting for.

But it’s a different story when somebody keeps posting that other collectors are annoying him since they keep having fun with Nolan Batman collectibles and while posting that doesn’t give a damm about their reasons.
You’re really surprised that these collectors get annoyed from that behaviour after all? :dunno

Yes! Good points!
I don't see anywhere the hate on threads with the fourth version of Thor or third version of Black Widow. They don't like Nolan Bats. We get it!:rotfl

I can't wait for the new improved Bank Robber Joker..or hope it is....

I appreciate the desire to get a say back at his post but he's already backed down^
