The actual BW?

As beautiful as when I opened it. My modified TV mount is also holding it like a champ and I'm 379.99 richer than those who paid for the
AmErIcAnmAdE ripoff.
Yea, since my waitlist converted, people have been recommending that **** to me. Im good.
 

skip to @ 24:00 he has a motorized rod that can lower the batwing lol. If I had the space and can get this for less than $500 I'd rather choose that.
 
just fyi in case any of you guys are looking for one, i'm selling mine. its new in the box and from the waitlist run so its the updated and fixed version. just looking to sell it for cost and not scalping anyone. also as a bonus i'm throwing in a $100 articulated wall mount that i was planning on using with it for free. only selling because i can't mount to the the only wall i have available because of my house wiring. sucks but hopefully someone else can enjoy it! shoot me a pm if you're interested. willing to drive for a meetup for my FL boys as well! lol
 
With the additional ones being made, can you say how many were/are made in total or a ball park sum please? @JazzInc

Hi @JazzInc there's so many questions I'd like to ask you, I'd like to take the opportunity since no other company is as open (Inart is starting to a bit), but rather than having a back and forth here, have you thought of doing an Reddit AMA or a YouTube Q&A? i think fans of yours like myself would appreciate that! You don't have to answer any you don't wish to but some of my questions are:
  1. What has been your best seller?
  2. Has any project been loss making but you still proceeded to give us the product?
  3. What were the biggest lessons you learnt as a figure making company?

Hi
Nice to hear from you. Well I do interview live streams with some 1/6 YouTubers at times. Maybe I should look into our own YouTube Q&A or reddit AMA. To answer your questions:

1) the 1989 batmobile
2) YES! most Star Wars things of the last few years, but concrete examples are the meditation chamber, falcon cargo hold extension kits and Rey's speeder to name a few. That's why we had to stop Star Wars. My accountant told me at years end, if you dont stop there will come a time you have to stop all together.
3) That, as opposed to vehicles and dioramas, the figure business is MUCH more subjective and people are harder to please. For a vehicle, it is easy to objectively say it is accurate, but for head sculpts and bodies, there is much more variance in peoples opinions because of the way our brains work when looking at and recognising faces.

That was fun! Hope it helps

That's amazing of you to answer thank you! Definitely true on the last question. I look forward to engaging in your future AMA / Q&A's.
 
@JazzInc which project are you most proud of creating? top 1 or top 3 if you're feeling generous :p

What is your opinion of hot toys vehicles? Are they made well, are they good value or are a piece of crap and not worth the money it should be?

Those are some difficult questions. I am glad to do a top 3 as I am having a hard time making a choice, so in no particular order:

  1. the 1989 batmobile, that one had everything and the kitchen sink thrown at it
  2. the Zack Snyder signature edition batmobiles where we donated almost $100,000 to his charity for suicide prevention
  3. The 2022 batmobile. That thing is like a complex Swiss watch with over 450 parts. The engine alone has 150 parts. Ridiculous! :LOL:
the hot toys vehicles are great value indeed! Because they make them in the tens of thousands, you really get a lot of bang for your buck! Tooling costs are 5 to 6 figure investments for a project, but if you can divide that over tens of thousands of customers (especially with re-releases using those same molds again) then you can make that investment go far and only cost a few dollars per car instead of hundreds per car. This and the size difference is the main reason for the price difference between us and them
