I'd sell what's left of my soul at this point to get a Kyle Reese.

like i said... i think people are assuming that guys just wanna complain... but it's a valid complaint when its like i said that things are announced and get delayed and pushed back or out right cancelled... and then they spit out something like that joker. time was spent on that... and that time and effort should have been to get figures like draxx, weaver, hulk buster, just to name a few that are currently getting pushed back. not to mention things they give up on like the bats return line etc...

I can't help but feel the movie would have been improved by the Joker appearing like this. Maybe during some kind of 'death of Robin' flashback.
Maybe that's what happened, and it ended up on the cutting room floor? This seems like way too specific a figure to just be some weird exclusive.

It would be something if Joker found his way into the bat cave and killed Robin while wearing a jacked up Bat suit. I think this is purely Hot Toys using creative license to make a figure banking on the supposed popularity of Letoker though.
Its just the waste of a release. For something no one ssked for and very few people will get.
A waste all around

Did they even really make a figure? The figure was already made! All they did was spray paint the damn thing and put a different mouthpiece on it.

And that's why it's not something that took any development time from hulkbuster or anything else.
I see this constant complaing about "delays" however people mistake a sideshow "delay" for anything from hot toys. They are two seperate things. In the last three years I found 7 figures that came out before Hot toys anticipated arrival (things like AoU bw and Cap and hawkeye ect) and only three that missed the announced Hot toys release window. And at least 25 that where in the hot toys announced window. But almost every figure got the "delay" email from sideshow becuase those are not actual delays. And when you throw out resource allocation and delays as a reason to prioritize figures then you can't justify it with the "delays" from sideshow. Those are not delays.
War machine mk1 DC and Cap CW have both been "delayed" by sideshow, while one is already released from hot toys and the other is still nearly three months from the hot toys anticipated release so it's not even close to being actually "delayed".
And you can't assume or say that fake joker had anything to do with a delay on another figure even if that figure was delayed. Yes there is only so much space in the release window, but that doesn't mean one figure costs another figure time or a delay. There's way way way to many factors involved to make it that simple. In the last nearly 20 years hot toys has not released around 1% of all figures they tease. The fact that people can list off the figures they have not released when they have shown over 500 is pretty telling. Find another company, in any industry that shows prototypes publicly, that has a production rate better? I bet you can't. Heck PI/CMC have shown at least 40 figures in 1/6 or 1/4 that never made production in the same span and only released like 6. Hot toys isn't batting 1000 but given that hey only control at best 50% of the approval and production process it's a miracle that they do as good as they do.

People can complain all they want, right or wrong. That's why it's a forum. If they vent, they vent. Just ignore it if it bothers.

These paragraphs could have been summed up in one sentence. "False advertisement and no f'ks to give about it."

This thread is now doomed.
This thread is now doomed.
With all the bitching that goes on about films in this place, on a toy forum... bitching about actual toys... yeah it's definitely relevant to speak about.
Hot Toys rat holed the Batffleck figure up their ass, and **** out this monstrosity on the cheap and call it a different figure.

Yep, that's what I thought the point of a forum was, agreeing/disagreeing , little bit of arguing, etc....call me crazy, I guess

That entire statement could sum up that entire post if not other things

I see a lot of complaining going on about the Leto Joker Batman figure, but, honestly, I'm cool with it. I ****ing hate Leto as Joker, and, if I had my way, that POS wouldn't have had a thing, but I think of it like the Tao. Yin and yang and all that jazz; if Howard didn't have a guilt complex about his 4 ****ty, Leto Jokers, he may have never been driven to make a Romero Joker.

In that case, can I have two more Skittles Batmen so Howard would finally green light my Arkham City Joker please?
