The Iron Koob
Super Freak
Idk I disagree. I've had both and I would ever accept the dx12 back into my collection
I thought it was a gun with the DX that wasn't in the armory but I am probably wrong. I know many people got after market capes from Tony Mei because the cape was difficult to work with. I didn't get the DX because for a while we were getting batman figures about as much as iron man. Now of course we even have on the toilet iron man and bathrobe armor iron man, so he is clearly undisputed most made figure.What was the big difference between armory and dx12 if I just want the Batman figure? Which one is the one to get?

Also there can be plenty of quality issues with Hot Toys, some people might value a sealed package but I sure don't. I'd much rather have an opened and inspected figure than roll the dice on something that could easily have big flaws inside a sealed package buying from a 3rd party. I'll buy new from Sideshow or something where I can get replacement parts or an exchange.
So I am new to this addiction. And I could only buy 2 Figures so far.
I purchased a new sealed Batman DX12 Hot Toys still in shipper amazing. These will skyrocket in value just because they will never be made again like this IMO. But I feel like $500 was a bit high still rather get it now before it hits $900 like Joker DX11
And I purchased a Iron Man Mark VI Diecast $359.99 - 10% off since its my first purchase from Sideshow. Its a re-release but Die-cast and Exclusive and its a suit that spans 2 Movies Iron Man 3 and Avengers plus its the only suit to have survived going into outerspace/new dimension.
What should be my next figure. I am leaning towards a Premium Format Dark Knight or a 1/4th scale Iron Man
On the plus side, most HT figures maintain their value. I've upgraded to newer versions of some characters, able to sell the old ones for close to what I paid for.
Some people value the figure's "value". I don't understand your post...Pfft, oooh, maintain value, oooh increase value.
Buy what you enjoy, that way you don't care about some perceived "value", only the value that it means to you.
In truth, I think we all waste our money. On the flip side, I know I enjoy collecting and it makes me happy. So yes, I waste my money on figures. Is it still worth it, for me yes. Do I like having an office filled with figure on display? I do. So if you are happy, thats all that matters.

I get it because i'm the same way most of the time. I don't care about resale value as long as I like the figure. But that's mainly because I have no plans on ever selling them. If I did, I wouldn't have bothered to buy them in the first place. But everyone get's into hobbies for different reasons. I just like collecting at it's core. Buying them for the purpose of profiting is an abhorrent notion to me and I don't consider it to be part of the hobby. People like that are a cancer to true collectors.
Its a tiresome and costly hobby that requires a lot of patience but I just love seeing the figures in my shelf. It makes me very happy
You don't have to be a profiteer to be concerned about the value of something you own. I have sold may of my figures over the years as I have limited space and a non infinite amount of money to spend, if there's something new that I want more than something I currently have I can sell it and make room, and it is nice to be able to do that. As such it is worth paying attention to if something you bought for retail is worth a fraction of what it was, or if it is in demand. It should also be part of the equation of making sure you not buying something for way more than it would ever be worth to something else, that's just wasted money. But if you're rich and don't care then good for you, but for the rest of us it is not some moral failing to sell something you once bought after enjoying it for a few years.
