Re: Hot Toys MMS188 The Dark Knight Rises: Selina Kyle/Catwoman Figure Full Specs & P
Difficulty in design doesn't necessarily have any bearing on timeliness. Hot Toys has a limited amount of factory bandwidth and they have to plan out production schedules using whatever metrics they find relevant. They probably have capacity for a single figure at a time, and for reasons only they know, they've chosen this order for the figures.
However, I hope we'll soon find out one last tidbit with respect to Selina Kyle - whether or not the mask is removable, because I'd bet my left nut if it is, that was a redesign. The figure was definitely written up on their site implying a non-removable mask. This may be what's been responsible for the bigger bump in production scheduling.
