I don't know why some people are so upset, even to the degree of quitting hot toys all together.
When the exclusives were new characters, scarecrow and demon bats, people lost their minds because those were characters they "needed" in their collection.
Ok. I agree. I had to pay alot to get them. And there was no way I would pass them up.
But then when the exclusive reuses some parts or revamps an existing character, or in the case ofthe iron man exclusive simply repaints. People flip and call hot toys cheap and get all Mad about that.
Let me stop for a sec. And mention something some don't seem to understand first.
If you don't like it, you don't HAVE to buy it. Pass it up. You don't haveto QUIT hot toys either. Trust me new figures you do like will come along.
Basically hot toys can't win. No toy company can. They can never please everyone. But I guess because I personally have the ability to say NO to some releases I'll be ok, I'll be happy.
I love this freaking release. And I hav the OC bats. Spent alot on it too. But that doesn't bother me. I would have bought this if it was ONLY the survival suit Bruce figure. The addition of the cowl and facial features is an absolute bonus and will replace the head on my current OC.
I think this is the perfect release. Especially for an exclusive. It appeals to the many many people who don't have the OC. An it appeals to people like me who want to display a killer survival suit Bruce Wayne.
I'm pumped. All I'm worried about is that sideshow won't be selling them and I'll have to pay a small fortune for one.
