I don't understand the point of this image...
Exactly. Medicom does not have a Selina Kyle figure in any format or scale. No one is sure why you brought it up.
Hmmm... Godfather, joker 2.0, whiplash, aldo, leon (enterbay)??? These to me are worth every dollar.
That's great. I wouldn't pay $100 for a godfather figure - the only one in that list that I even care remotely about is Leon, and it's not a Hot Toys figure. And there's plenty wrong with the Enterbay figure like with every Enterbay figure. The quality is simply not remotely close to Hot Toys, but you're still paying high prices, and in case of aftermarket, sometimes insane prices. Follow the Leon thread to read about all the work that figure needs.
Besides, a head sculpt is not the complete figure. Likeness has nothing to do with price, even though it may affect how you perceive value. The Hot Toys body alone is worth more than most company's entire boxed figure.
They have not yet got a single female headsculpt right.
Ugh. Hot Toys have not a single sculpt, male or female that is perfect. It's pretty easy to find a handful of flaws with absolutely every single sculpt. I don't have the Black Widow figure, but almost every image I've seen from other members looks amazing. Much better likeness than Selina to Hathaway.
Another great example of price and value is the Alice figure. The head sculpt is easily at the bottom of the Hot Toys likeness list, but the figure as a whole is excellent, despite also the insanely oversized a55. I paid $155 for it. Indiana Jones is another example - sure I'd like the sculpt to look a lot more like Harrison Ford, but I love the product regardless. And the likeness isn't about being "good enough" - it's the product as a whole has enough value for me (and others) to warrant collecting.
I am a simple man who respects money.
Then you should examine your values - unless of course you meant something entirely different.
that does not mean i have to like every single thing they make.
No one's saying such a thing nor trying to curb anyone's opinion. But there's a difference between not liking something and writing about it. Just look at the inane off-topic trash talk the other guy is going on about. At least I'll give you credit for contributing to the discussion. But as a precursor to your next point, don't forget the purpose of this thread. This isn't the bash Selina Kyle figure thread.
Oh my. Right? Actually you (we) don't have any rights whatsoever here. Posting to this forum is a privilege and you'd do well to remember that. This forum is publicly accessible but it's privately owned and maintained - how it's run and whether it runs at all are up to the decision of its owners.
Money's only value is what it can buy at any point in time versus the effort expended to earn it. But I don't think that's of relevance to the likeness of a sculpt, especially in this discussion. No one, including yourself have made any arguments on the basis of value except to shout that a non-perfect sculpt shouldn't cost $200. Hardly any point in that without some discourse to explain it. Besides, many people would not place even remotely similar value on any 1/6 product, regardless of the perceived level of quality and likeness by a collector. Eye of the beholder and all that jazz you know?
in todays economy each figure is a comfort cars monthly installment. As most of us buy, 12-14 figures a year
You're making a lot of assumptions and I don't think you really have any facts at all to base any of them on. Three of them in that one sentence alone.
