I agree. For the time being what we see is what we're getting. What they've announced is merely taking their word for it. I'll believe it when I see something concrete.
Of course thats a reasonable assumption. You very well could be right. I just don't see why Chan would be nervous. Hot Toys is in the drivers seat. I absolutely love EBs efforts with their TDK line (despite the qc issues). I think the figures are world class and i'm never willingly parting ways with my OC Bats.
Looking at what HTs just produced with this Batman, i'm feeling like they should have no worries. Of course there is competition in business but you don't see Walmart worried about Target. Mcdonalds doesn't fear Burger King. The point is that HT has established itself as king of the hill. Others are going to try to climb but it's gonna take nothing short of a miracle to dethrone them.
