Should Hot Toys re-release Preds? Yes or No? Opinions?

[vareika]

Although I'm sure you didn't mean it that way, and the quote looks harsher out of context like this, I found this somewhat offensive too.

Nobody is entitled to own expensive collectibles. Some are lucky enough to. If you are lucky enough to be able to afford these things good for you, but just because you have the money to spend does not mean you get the moral high ground over someone who earns less and still wants nice things.

By the same token that someone on low income should be focused more on paying the bills etc, perhaps your extra money could go towards helping those less fortunate rather than spending it on ephemera.
Not looking to start an argument, just suggesting something to think about next time you or I spend a fortune on a piece of plastic.

Perhaps my extra money can be saved so down the road I can use it to help myself when needed. Not sure about you guys, but I'm not a happy tax payer. Sorry, I'm all for paying more taxes if you have higher income but there are a ____ load of people stuck in the bracket where you are taxed with at the same rate people who have 50 times your income are getting taxed at.

How many dependents are you claiming?

I dunno. I find that most people who are _____ing about getting reamed come tax season are claiming too many things, wife, kids, pets, etc.

 

[smiff1989]

Exactly. I think people are crazy in the first place to spend that much dough on toys.

I say re-release them even though I dont collect 12" figures.

14" plus it really would not be fair on people who have the originals

 

[ExMem-LarjaThwei]

They're in the 12 inch category.

 

[thenammagazine]

They're in the 12 inch category.

You mean 1:6 category.

 

[ExMem-LarjaThwei]

No, I meant they are in the 12 inch category.
Like, NECA's 18 inch Predator.. NECA's 18 inch Alien.. etc.

 

[thenammagazine]

No, I meant they are in the 12 inch category.
Like, NECA's 18 inch Predator.. NECA's 18 inch Alien.. etc.

That's not 12," that's 1:6. If they were 12" then yeah. But they're not, they're one-sixth scale.

 

[ExMem-LarjaThwei]

That's not 12," that's 1:6. If they were 12" then yeah. But they're not, they're one-sixth scale.

Yes, but that is not what I meant.. I'm fairly sure you know what I mean, too..

First, yes I just quoted every post here. Second, i am not sure what you mean. Isn't the 12" category the same as the 1:6 scale category, while 1:6 scale incorporates figures larger than 12" while the 12" category only includes 12" figures?

 

[ExMem-LarjaThwei]

You haven't noticed that? I don't know why it's like that. Everyone calls the NECA 1:4 scale figures the "18 inchers". Same goes for the HT figures. I guess it's because that is how tall the human figures would be.. Idunno.
Also, on the SS site, HT's Falconer and Mr. Black figures are in the "12 inch figure" section.

 

[azurepred]

re-release the worst Pred designs ever? NO

 

[greygoose]

Please re-release a DX P1, P2 and Elder. Thank you

 

[thenammagazine]

There's no such thing as a DX P1.

Be vocal about it in the Forum Questions & Suggestion boards. I posted a poll there basically calling attention to this type of crap: https://sideshowcollectors.com/forums/showthread.php?t=88787

I have no issues with any company reissuing figures, especially when they were originally released years ago. The way I see it, more fans can enjoy awesome toys and the company can make more money and reinvest it into new awesome product.
