It's because they have nothing to fear unfortunately. They have the market cornered. They can point at us while laughing and ask "Where else are you going to get a 1/6 Iron Monger?"Why does anybody think Hot Toys will do something about it?
Comedian's melting armor - Hot Toys did nothing.
ED-209's rotting rubber cover - Hot Toys did nothing.
Iron Man's pink panties - Hot Toys did nothing.
DX 02 Batman's leaking abs - Hot Toys did nothing.
Captain America's flaking shield - Hot Toys did nothing.
Not only do they not resolve the above issues, they ignore the problem or pretend it didn't happen. The only thing Hot Toys does is sit back and count their money. You will either have to have a Iron Monger with cracked thighs or no Iron Monger at all. As long as people keep spending top dollar for flawed figures they will have no motivation improve. (And I am including myself in this category.)
Wish other companies would step up and make these 1/6 scale figures to compete with HT.
