1/6 Hot Toys Batman & Batmobile - Batman Begins

[borgisbor]

I really hope they release it, as that's the only Bats figure I need right now

I passed on this before. If it’s real I’m in

 

[Sturanich]

I?ll take Batman, I already have both tumblers and I don't need another.

I'd take the Tumbler, especially if sized up a little to suit the bigger Affleck Bat figures.

Lazy as ****.

The suit is the same it has been the last 10+ years, holy ****.

The Tumbler probably won't get any updates either (like adding mesh to the front exhausts, more wires and detail around the wheels, weathered paint, more detailed cockpit, etc.).

These lazy reissues really make me start considering quitting 1/6 HT and going 1/4+ and statues only.

Looks a bit frankenstinian, doesn't look good to me, big bulky shiny plastic suit. The 1/4 wasn't good neither.

Is it real or not? Somebody call Batman we need a detective.

Because he's the figure collectors deserve, but not the one they need right now, so we'll buy him. Because he can sell, because he's not an MEU figure. He's an Echo Base release, a possible 2.0, a Dark Knight figure.

Thanx for the facebook post.
I am native Chinese speaker, it says "new store opening exclusive product".
Can be either way...

Its real. I already linked the source.

Exclusive to Echo Base - that tumbler seems a lot of effort for a pop up store. Is it possible that it is some old stock that they found and now clearing out?

That sucks

 

[dominishin]

TBH it's not a big loss. The figure is just a mash up from reused parts. Nothing is new.

The older figures' aftermarket isn't even that high.

 

[Waiden]

Guys ...

Midas was in the exact same situation last year, exclusively sold in the new store #ht20thplus to celebrate the opening, and still went for pre-order/sale worldwide. Expect the same case with Batman Begins and Tumbler now. HT just wants to lure impatient day one collectors into the new store, that's it.

I’m over HT. All they do is reissues now. I’ve gone more and more into statues since those are more limited and larger. All HT does now is satisfy new collectors.

Missed out on the previous Batman release so happy for the rerelease.

Yea, how dare they try to grow their customer base.

All they do is reissues? They barely do any. Out of the 160 HT 1/6 figures on Sideshow, only 12 of them appear to be re-issues. That's not even 10%.

They are doing it to chase the dollars they see re sellers are making. At least with statues there are edition sizes and no reissues. If hot toys ever buy up a statue company that will change.

Is it really growing though if they're driving away their older collectors? Maybe the older more experienced and therefore jaded money doesn't spend as fast.
