It would be kinda nice to have that exclusivity again. I mean, if people miss out, people miss out.
this crossed my mind
but i got lucky and got one last minute. didn't think or expect it'd turn out as great as it did
Lesson learned, from now on I will only suggest Mars NOT to do any 2nd batch in future, i will remind him every day, every hour, every minute
For example, i have similar issue with my hot toys john wick suit, I switch to eleven sculpt but the neck is too thick so it's time consuming to fix the collar, and i didn't fix it well. Missing button on both waistcoat and sleeve, thick material, tailoring aren't any better than those 3rd party companies. The only good thing is their body always solid except those Batman figures - always struggle to change the hands, they always pop outit is valid and understandable why people complain about the 2nd batch release and not meeting expectations to what the 1st batch offered when it first released.
the 2nd batch just screams rushed job to me to get it all out to meet the demand since most skipped out initially,like me who was maybe unassure of the quality that this company offered since their previous figures have not exactly been stellar or note worthy like this one. mars toy is probably at their best when they aren't copying other people's work.
i just think both parties are at fault since mars didn't meet their end in providing the same product that was offered in the first batch. maybe they think magnets are an improvement, but with most companies i feel lately magnets are a detriment since lots of factories use cheap glue. my iconiq bateman magnets didn't come glued at all
with how tightly fitting the waistcoat is, its already a pain as is to snap the buttons together (in first batch), but its good that its tight fitting since he's dressed well. i can only imagine it is worse with magnets for the 2nd batch because it isn't strong enough to handle the stress of the waistcoat wanting to separate without the waistcoat being bigger and loosely fitting
it is unwarranted for certain complaints to be directed to kit by customers, but i understand their frustration. and i can understand why people are hostile towards the idea of paying for replacement parts when it was mars toy who messed up
I feel privileged to be able to see a little bit of Kit's inner sanctum.
But if there were no 2nd batches I would have missed out on the Present Toys Indiana Jones.
On the other hand, I can understand Kit's point of view also. It's a dilemma, no doubt.
My cousin married the second of two twins. She was the 2nd batch. He favors 2nd batches.
But I told him his wife is an exact replica while the 2nd batch Joker is not.
Looks like your Hulks don't like your kitty.
From a business side, I can see why you do second runs. Especially with core characters such as Joker.
I’d rather have a complete set. If people miss out and don’t habe a chance to join later, they don’t buy the other figures resulting in lesser releases. A helthy line need customers. Core characters need to be available.
