Well, in that case, what the **** are the people at SSC smoking? That's bordering on eBay mark up after a few months.

And you know SSC isn't paying $216 Per figure either.

It's not? I thought that scene was definitely one of the top scenes in the movie and most memorable in general.

Yes it's iconic but it's not his signature look now far less people would be hesitant had this been his purple suit.
I think only the die hard fans will want this at this price.
I am trying to stay away from repaints non signature looks .

So the reality of the situation is, the next Hot Toys Batman or Joker figure Hot Toys release (or re-release, heh heh) will easily be $300+ right out of the gate.
Hot Toys cancelling those "coming soon" licenses of yesteryear is looking pretty good to me now, I actually hope they don't happen.

$270??? Really? For what? A newly tailored suit and shirt? I think mine is good enough

Pretty much, but I think he will come with one new head sculpt. This one, the boo face

Only 400 bucks? I'll take three.
I'm the first person to defend price increases but charging over 300 bucks for this is a slap in the face. Especially for something that will sit around for years to come.
I think ht needs to invest in the iron man market. They haven't done many figures in that line.

Good point.
Better make it $469.99 than, just to be safe.

I think what really drove the price up was the base (which I think looks awesome) and the backdrop (could care less about that).
Say we are paying $30-$35 extra for the base and $10 for the backdrop. Without those two items this figure would be priced around $225. That would seem pretty standard, but still a little high.
