Re: Is anyone else just kind of "over" Hot Toys?
I'm not over HT but I'm not lying when I say that some of their latest decisions and releases are making me a bit less interested.
I don't mind that they are milking the IM license, but they could space those figures out a bit more. We get the announcements for the Gantry, Iron Monger, Armor Gallery, new Mk I, Milk War Machine in a very rapid order. It seems they only make Iron Men these days.
Like I said, I don't mind them making them, because it earns them a lot of money which they can use to R&D and make other figures.
It would just be nice if those other figures were of some of their other licenses.
Take Thor, Tron, Captain America, Sucker Punch and Avatar for example. All licenses which have gotten two figures tops while there could be
at least one more for them all.
Where are Clu, Loki, Red Skull and Neytiri, for example?
And worse than that, we have had license announcements for X-Men:FC and Metal Gear Solid long before that, without ever having seen anything.
So I'd say;
HT, give IM a rest for now and give some attention to your other lines. Show us that you care about them as well and people will buy into them. If you stop after just 1 or 2 (strange choiced) figures, you won't get the sales you want.
