I doubt they'll release it, but you may be right. Either way, much of the blame resides with the IP holders, who license these products seemingly without a deadline for release. I wonder how exclusive these licenses are. Can more than one company license the right to make 1/6 scale figures of the same character, or are these franchises licensed exclusive rights? Does anyone know how the licensing works?
I've been really impressed with the work Blitzway has been putting out, lately. Their Tyler Durden, Ghostbusters and Hannibal figures look amazing. Looking at the Ecto-1, I'm really hoping they try making the Batmobile Hot Toys bailed on. Maybe the increased competition will force Hot Toys to be more vigilante in releasing the IP they've picked up, but all that may be a moot point if they have exclusive rights to franchises, like Batman '66.
