I am new to this site and forums, but have been a collectible action figure collector for over 20 years. I only recently started collecting 12" within the last year and have over 12 Hot Toy figures w/ some being duplicates.
I have liked HT's for many years but could not justify the price point.
However now with all the U.S. toy companies dissing and taking advantage of the collectors I am no longer happy with the service or the disrespect given to me by the chains that I spend my money with.
So I prefer to go with paying more for supposedly better quality and less strings and hassles attached.
Off course I undertsnd that HT,s could learn a few things about deadlines from Japanese toymakers, who rarely change deadlines and their quality control is much better.
I hope in the future HT's will take the time to address these issue and offer a better product. But for now they really cant be beat.
