Hot Toys TDKR: 1/4th scale Batman [QS001] - Full Reveal & Specs

[Spliff]

You can't really compare movie-based and comic-based sculpts when it comes to scale. The proportions are very different.

haha, is that what we're going with now?

 

[morphosis]

you can think the figure is better that's fine, but saying it isn't overpriced is the reason HT can get away with raping people with their ridiculous price points.

simple solution. don't buy it if you feel that way.

simple solution. don't buy it if you feel that way.

oh no way, i can do that? wow. blowing my mind.

anyway, good figure, stupid price. that's all i have to say about that.

Well, what is a good price? How is that determined? As a Batman and TDK trilogy fanboy, i'm willing to pay out the ***. Still, within some sort of reason. The prototype was not worth the price. However, because i'm extreme about my Batman I was going to pay it regardless. Now, I feel like its a really fair price. Based on the quality of the piece itself and all of its accessories. Not a bad price for something that will go double or tripple its worth on Ebay in a year.

Anything you can open, and as long as you take care of, re-sell for same price or more even, I don't feel is a stupid price. It is high, yes, but it is what it is. People either buy or they don't. I want two but can barely afford one. I'm not going to blame that fact on Hot Toys. Just my humble opinion. I'm not trying to prove anyone wrong.

yup, there are already pre-orders on eBay for $100-$200+ more than retail.

it's not the size of a PF at all.

PF's are 1/4 scale.

This is 1/4 scale.

He's kind of right though. A statue based on a comic is going to have exaggerated proportions.

Anyway, the real reason the PF is "bigger" is that it has an enormous base.

Also, Figures>>>statues. All day.

Don't feed trolls.

Any given object is only worth what someone is willing to pay for it. Do I want to pay almost 500 bucks for a damn action figure? No. Do I wish it was cheaper? Hell yeah. Do I think it's worth it? Absolutely. If this is the price I have to pay for a premier scale representation of one of my absolute favorite characters of all time then so be it. It's just the way things are.

Exactly how I feel also. This will most likely be the only 1/4 scale figure I ever get. That is unless they make a 1/4 scale MOS superman. Hot toys I mean.

So, do you guys think that Hot Toys will make a 1/4 Joker to accompany this?

 

[dominishin]

They've made 4 1/6 Jokers already (5 if you count cop).

.... So yes.

 

[Stanlore]

Yeah... probably, but not in the next 8-10 years, assuming that is how long a movie licence for a toy company lasts for.

The QS-001 is so damn awesome. Gonna look great next to my EB Joker.

 

[intothevoid]

Of course they will. Teased before the end of the year for sure.

 

[Darkavatar]

Yeah my only concern is if it will be undersized like Endo Terminator was to the EB BD Terminator.

Of course they will. Teased before the end of the year for sure.

Well if they do, I hope it gets the same treatment as this and doesn't end up being a 1/4 scale DX11.

Not that the DX11 is a bad sculpt but I think most of us would want it to be upgraded like they did with this Batman.

 

[batfan08]

Of course they will. Teased before the end of the year for sure.

I'd **** my pants if they had a 1/4 scale Begins figure on display, along with the QS 001, and a teaser card for a 1/4 scale Joker on display at Ani-Com.

 

[Nightwing_000]

Would be nice to tease a 1/4 Joker, and they should scale his head to wear the 1/4 accessory on the QS001 stand!!!

Any info about release day from HK sellers? 31 July ?

Where did you hear that date? I hope that's true.

 

[M0NSTER]

Where did you hear that date? I hope that's true.

Hong Kong sellers on Ebay. I asked a few weeks ago and the 31st was the response I got. Which is consistent with the "August 2013" date from Sideshow. So, im thinking Bruce Wayne Sculpt at Ani com followed by final product pictures within the next week or so.
