I think this is a real problem right now with how they are handling their figures. They have announced so many licenses and figures that have little to no coverage or aren't even in the works yet, but then they turn around and announce these new figures and have them come out within months of announcement. It's crazy, but the timing is what makes it so ridiculous. I don't think they need to slow down per say, but they need to spread out their releases. Keep making figures constantly. I like the idea of there being a lot of great Hot Toys coming out because there's no way you'll like everyone or be familiar with every single character so it's good to spread them out so that one guy buys a figure this month and maybe three months from then and such.
But flooding the quarters isn't the way to go, especially when the DX Jack Sparrow, one of their most expensive at retail, is coming out likely within a month or two. It's just too much. And the worst part is what happens with the aftermarket. I can't wait for these like I can with most Japanese figures. These ones, unless they were real shelf warmers, vanish from retailers and start going on Ebay for ridiculous prices.
I shouldn't be punished because I wanted too much and couldn't afford it at the time.
