while i agree that it may seem greedy and irresponsible for a company to keep milking its loyal customers, many of u folks are forgetting one thing.
things like the "DX" series are a way in for NEW collectors, people who just got into the hobby and may have missed stuff that came out years or even just a few months ago. people like me.
the ledger joker being so incredibly popular and iconic, the figure was a guaranteed best seller. so naturally, it'd be snapped up by everyone, including non-collectors who want a piece of the coolness. therefore, either the figure'd be completely sold-out or be sold on ebay at exorbitant prices. either way, it'd be out of reach for many people.
so by re-releasing the figure hot toys is giving MORE people a chance to own it, as well as being an exercise in honing their craft.
i know it sucks if u already own the v1 joker. i'd be annoyed too. but i don't think it's unfair of ht to do this.
i for one, do not have the v1, so this is an excellent chance for me.
i'd also love to see them come up with a DX robocop (maybe a battle-damaged version with alternate helmetless murphy head) and the aliens colonial marines, this time with ACCURATE headsculpts and paint apps.
that's my wishlist...
