60,000 Hathaway Catwomen...? I find that hard to believe. Is that the original PLUS the 2.0 numbers combined?
Not really sure, it seemed like the 2.0. It was toward the beginning of him talking about 1/6th scale figures. Joost had him guessing and he started out at 2,000 as the first guess. Joost said much higher. He then said 10,000 and 50,000 with Joost telling him it was 60,000 after those two guesses.The 2.0 Catwoman thread hasn't even reached 20 pages of discussion in the past 2+ years since announcement. I don't see how that figure could have reached 60k. Unless if it's a case of Hot Toys over producing that one since it went up for PO in 2021.
I do like his thought process of doing characters that the other companies won't. We really don't need 3-4 companies doing the same character over and over again. There are a lot of gaps that Joost can fill.
To be fair, BD MK85 Iron Man only has 86 pages compared to 232 for InArt Gandalf. We all know that Iron Man sold way more figures.The 2.0 Catwoman thread hasn't even reached 20 pages of discussion in the past 2+ years since announcement. I don't see how that figure could have reached 60k. Unless if it's a case of Hot Toys over producing that one since it went up for PO in 2021.

It's right around the 30:30 minute mark he talks about it.60K x $200 on Catwoman = $12,000,000
No way their making $12M on Hathaway Catwoman.
You heard him correctly (I heard it too), but he must be mistaken. Even 6,000 seems unlikely for a reissue. I believe he also mentioned Hot Toys made 40,000 ‘89 Batmobiles, which also just cannot be true.I'm just giving the source. Maybe I didn't hear it correctly. He is in this forum so we can ask him here @JazzInc

I think whatever his source for Hot Toys production numbers must have accidentally added an extra zero or two.
Yeah - could be the factories he’s talking to over-selling their capabilities or something got lost in translation.Is it possible that the source at Hot Toys (or their factory) is intentionally misleading him to entice him to significantly overproduce and immediately go out of business?
I mean, the factory agents can be pretty devious "Oh yeah, we made 40,000 of these for Hot Toys. They sell like gangbusters. So, how many do you want to order? You get price break for every 10,000 units"
