Re: Hot Toys MMS188 The Dark Knight Rises: Selina Kyle/Catwoman Figure Full Specs & P

I can just imagine the complaints/commentary that would come when this figure was in hand if the mask was removable.

"I took the mask off and there's black marks on the face. eff you HT and your shotty QC!!! "

"I took the mask off and now I can't get the hair looking right. there are little strays everywhere damn you HT!"

"Boardie #1: my mask isn't fitting properly...anyone else have this problem?

Boardie #2: yea my mask covers up most of her eyes when I try to put it on her. why HT didn't just glue the mask on in the first place is beyond me. Would've made things much easier

Boardie #3: I just glued the mask on. Figured I wouldn't have her w/o the mask that much anyway"

and so on an so forth...

Since HT agreed to make it removable, I guess we can start worrying about the black mark on the face.

I'm gonna go out on a limb and suggest that thats supposed to be Anne Hathaway?

I'm more than happy with what's being released. . . I'm not going down that Barbie route.

First thing that comes to mind is some sort of bizarre child beauty pageant contestant.

The next thing is "Baby Jane Hathaway"...

I'll stay with Hot Toys' version. Thanks

I was referring to the non removable mask, that if Hot toys gave us a Catwoman with a removable mask we could have dressed her with other outfits from the movie,

that was just an example, the only one I could find, but
I still wish Hot toys made her with a removable mask,

I could care less about a removable mask. It is not like I am going to dress her up in a maid outfit or plain clothes anyway.

Wasn't sure if I was going to get her or not, but that exclusive cowl pushed me over the edge.

Man, if she came with that maid outfit..

it's all fear driven speculation.

if columbus had this much doubt before going out to the sea, you would all still be in england.

if ht had your doubt, the company would not be where it is now. you want to raise the bar, you have to make the first step into the unknown; too timid to try and nobody will remember you.

I'll say buy now, think later. The thing is maybe the figures will go down in price for a while.. but how low the price will be? I'd say at top $20 under retail price. But if they go up in price and the figure become "rare" they easy rise $100 on 3 months or something. For example as the 2011 Batman/Bruce Wayne. I have never seen that figure under $214 (retail price).. only a few months after the release it was selling for $350.. and now you can't get it for under $400.. and that's on less than a year.

you're talking about an exclusive fig, and in the midst of a huge last batman movie. of course it's going to be popular. what other fig had seen a $100 rise in 3 months? pray tell.

catwoman is not an exclusive. it's a regular fig. and many regular figs more popular and done much better than her have seen drop in price in less than 6 months after release. cap, jack, supes, mark v, etc. are now, at least in my neck of the wood, going for less than the retail/po price.

I do think some of the blame can be put on the idiots that are paying x2, x3, x4 the price of past releases on the secondary market that HT and SS have become aware of and in which, they now think they can justify the insane price hikes we have been seeing in the last 1-2 years.

Sorry Mike, but I disagree with you on this one. Some of the price increase is directly related to the buyer. It has to be by definition. Why?

The world of ultra-high end, 1/6 scale figure collecting is a niche market, at best. Not everyone has the time, means nor inclination to spend $250 on a 1 foot tall figure from a film, no matter how beautiful it looks or how well made it is.

And this very fact means that if a figure, or a series of figures - typically in this case it's BATMAN...but it could just as easily be MGS, or The Avengers - will be targeted very specifically and the company that is making them is effectively "shooting fish in a barrel" namely, they have a built-in captive audience that wants to buy.

It is up to them how much any increase will be, but the certainty is that they will try and recoup as much profit as possible every single time, because they know people - this target audience - will mostly pay the amended price.

How many others here have moaned about pricing...and then just POed or outright bought the figure? I know that I certainly have. Any company will exploit its loyal fan-base to the max. That's where their profit lies...with the "I Will Buy" section.

Man, if she came with that maid outfit..

just an option to do this is nice:

it's such a simple reasonable and doable option too. it's beginning to irritate me why the pro-masked are so adamant defending their stance, making excuses after excuses to tell people why the removable mask is not needed. another option is always a plus.

Re: Hot Toys MMS188 The Dark Knight Rises: Selina Kyle/Catwoman Figure Full Specs & P

and i'm sure somebody will customize her looking like this eventually:
