Not taking a cheap shot at you darkavatar...but YOU ARE BORDERLINE becoming the member I alluded to earlier.
Dude, seriously, quit while you're ahead. WE HEAR YOU. Now, take the chance and spam mail HT to make a difference. The sad truth here is this:YOUR COMPLAINTS HERE WILL GO UNHEARD.
You want change? Speak with your wallet. You want change? Complain to HT. write them a properly worded, devoid of fanboyism letter, then let us know the aftermath. In fact, start a petition. I personally like this figure. However I am not opposed to changes that can make it shine even further. You start a petition, and I will happily throw my signature on the line.
I'm not bashing you man. But what made me stop frequenting the dx12 thread is because of that member. I.AM.NOT.JOKING.
We get it bro, you want them to fix things. Telling us isn't gonna do s#!t.
This is the problem, both u and Frank think I am here to troll and constantly complain about the cowl or whatever. This is not the case, otherwise wouldn't I be here every day saying the dam thing? Or just repeating this figure sucks constantly? I rarely post here, I think it had been at least a few weeks since my last post before my recent girly one. I think I am probably one of the highest posters here because this thread gets very few post and I reply to too many people's post.
I honestly do not understand why some people single me out, when I just asked one question after I said how girly the face plate was and if there were pics of the frown face. All I wanted to know if there were any pics of the figure with the frown face! Now this obviously caused a domino effect and everyone that had a problem with the figure started posting. So I guess you can blame me for that, but I am really not repeating the same stuff, just agreeing with other people that had problems with the DX12 and did mods or bought different capes because I did the same thing to.
??
Perhaps fair enough about repetition. At least mix it up a bit with some posts that aren't complaining. I haven't always looked at this thread though so maybe Darkavatar
has been doing that and you guys are selectively remembering his posts. I've had people do that with my own posts in the past - choosing only to remember the posts where I said something negative to back up their attack, ignoring the fact that so many other posts were positive, neutral, in good fun etc.
But no I maintain that it is no surprise to see him coming back to this thread again and again even with the criticisms he has. If it were a statue and he has never and never intends to buy a statue I would wonder why hes bothering but if Batman and action figures are his thing of course hes going to be here.
Well, I am not trying to constantly come back and start up trouble I just asked one single question. Then everyone started to laugh at the term I used and agreed and wondered what Hot Toys was thinking making that. Nevertheless, thanks for sticking up for me once again!
But therein lies the problem...when does the poster pull the plug? I mean, after 15-20 pgs of LITERALLY saying the same thing, from the SAME poster, dude...c'mon, does someone really need to repeat himself that many times? At times I feel like this goes on in certain posters minds "whoa whoa whoa! wait, this member, I don't recognize him..he's new here, which means he doesn't know how I feel about this figure...y'know what? That needs to be corrected right this instant!!"
I mean c'mon man!
If you read the thread correctly you would know I am not doing this but understanding why other members have problems with this and just agreeing with them.
I have no quarrel with people being disappointed and venting it over the board, i do so myself but if your a type of collector that want's authentic 100% lifelike figures then you are collecting in the wrong format with the wrong company, and dare i say most wouldn't be able to afford them. In the grand scheme of things $500 isn't that much really for what they are attempting to do, not when other types of plastic things can go for thousands and not really have that amount of effort put into it
HT have never been that company, it's just what the consumers themselves strive for them to be and HT deliveries what it delivers. As technology has advanced and figures have got better quality people have got greedy. It has to be 100% spot on or it isn't right and they just use the excuse that well they should be able to get the 100% accuracy now. Even Adams sculpts are not 100% and they went for serious money and that was a head alone. What would people say if they started having to shell out $1250+ per figure?
Funny, some of their figures are realistic and look like real people like Storm Shadow Gi Joe, so I do think they are a company that strives to produce realistic figures outside the DX line. When it comes to the DX line, it seems they care more about moveable eyes than likeness or realism, however, I have said that many times but only in response to people that keep asking the question why doesn't it look realistic.
So I still do not understand why you are singling me out when I said, while I would like it to look like Bale, I would be fine if it just didn't look stupid. Which is a response to someone's post about how they wanted it to look like Bale.
You could argue that Enterbay is better than HT but then you have to suffer the QC issues. I'd rather have this Batman (off the bat) with the bad faceplates than Enterbay Batman which could turn up with one leg longer than the other. Regardless of whether the Enterbay one looks more realistic and accurate. You have to think of the figure as a whole. Not saying the HT one is better there either
I would agree with that both have pros and cons but again I never repeated that Enterbays one was better over and over and every day for weeks, I think I said it once or twice in response to someones post obviously. T7 was the one that said Hot Toys failed while Enterbay delivered. Not me.
Darkavator i have no problem with you as a member, at all. Just to clear that up. You and many others wan't something a lot more lifelike and accurate and that's fine, this isn't being made the way you would prefer and that's how it is. Be disappointed and if that's what you really wan't then wait until one comes out that qualifies, if not then just be glad you didn't spend $500 on something you didn't really want as it stands now. We have had this conversation before in this very thread regarding pers
I have no problems with you either but I think you need to see what is really going on and that while I prefer a realistic looking figure, for the last few pages, I don't remember mentioning that I went on and on about wanting a realistic figure.
Complaining constantly about the same thing will not get anyone anywhere. This i thought was obvious
That is the problem u and wolf have, I say one thing and I get some followers I guess, and those people start complaining and because I agree with them and reply to their post and understand where they are coming from, it looks like maybe I am the one saying the same stuff over again. I think the main problem is that I say something and it causes a Domino effect then people have problems with this figure come out and say what they want changed.
I mean people on here actually like that girly face term I made but others like your self and wolf take as that I want to wine for the sake of wining. I think you and wolf need to grow thicker skins, can't u just laugh some things off? Ironically I never expected people would find that term funny and start to use it, I just wanted to see some dam pics with the frowning face! Other people complain about the arms etc and hate how it is just another DX12, which apart from the head I have mentioned numerous times on here that I like that figure. Anyway I am done posting here unless it is something positive because some people find my post funny and that obviously causes problems for wolf and you because then all the haters come out after they laughed at that comment I made and said all the problems they had with their DX12 and what they don't like about this figure. So I think my main problem is not repeating stuff but the fact that I cause the haters to come out and start complaining about the figure.
We need the Borg on the case. Although I have to warn you they're perfectionists.
