Re: Possible Hot Toys DC TV license?
As much as I don't want to reply to you ever, the fact you made a list was exactly what I was waiting for. I will explain in DETAIL why those figures had their place in their respective line. I'm not gonna detail all of them, but I will do a few notable ones JUST to show you that your logic in most debates is flawed and continues to be.
AoU cap was preceded by WS cap. At least 1 year apart from one another. They reused both HS, but both of their outfits were COMPLETELY DIFFERENT. Did it take a *sharp* eye to SEE that? THAT was their first time rehashing the SAME HS, albeit one is repainted. Now, AoU cap is followed by CW cap. Again, it will be a year apart. They will rehash for a THIRD time the Rogers HS. I'm not a fan of that, however, the helmeted version comes with a refreshing change of pace for a CA figure by FINALLY introducing an idea that was used for their batman figures, interchangeable mouth plates. not to mention notable changes to the suit itself, the differences between AoU is significant enough to warrant a release.
And in contrast to the movie promo? It'll be the FOURTH time they will be rehashing the Rogers HS and THIRD time for the Cap HS. And they'll be released so close to one another.
Reeve superman? They changed the color of his outfit, reused his HS and gave him a five o'clock shadow. But they made him CON EXCLUSIVE. Not to mention that release wasn't so close to the original. ALSO, evil superman was a major plot point in the movie and was, depending on ones perspective, a SEPARATE character, and not a ****ing accessory.
DX12, from prototype to release garnered SO much criticism because of his eyes and derpy mouth plates. When they released him again, a significant amount of time had passed...oh and what's this?? HE CAME WITH THE ******* ARMORY. Oh oh, and guess what? THEY UPDATED HIS EYES AND MOUTH PLATES. If that's not a significant change to a rehash, I don't know what is. It wasn't just a mere repaint and dirty knees. It was an update packed to the gills with accessories.
T800, years later to be followed by a DX version. With a completely different HS, again...depends on who you ask, an improvement from the original...and had MOVEABLE EYES.
IM...its simple...IT'S IRON MAN. Moving on.
TFA troopers. Just because I didn't comment on them doesn't make it right with what they did. Rather than release an all encompassing package like sideshow and their clones, they made each trooper have separate releases...they couldn't give me a pauldron so I can have the option of either displaying a standard trooper or a lieutenant?
Sideshow...a company many feel are still playing catch up to HT, did right by their fans by giving their collectors OPTIONS for their clones. And last I checked, they didn't rehash a THING from their previous attempts.
I can go on and on, but it's pointless. There are some on that list thats just as pointless (IN MY OPINION-in case some feel 'offended' by that) as this "battling" cap edition...I'm not going to repeat myself.
If you can't discern the difference with past HT releases and this particular release...
Ugh, I was gonna say "then I don't know what to tell you"...I'm gonna stick with "it's hopeless".
