It’s one thing to not include them in what are clearly meant to be children’s toys. I mean nerf guns and whatnot litter the toy isles, but I can somewhat understand the concern of glorifying weapons for kids. But the items aimed for adults (like $250+ Hot Toys and statues from an R rated movie ) should come with them. Unadvertised, again fine, but ultimately stupid as kids certainly aren’t buying them. The whole thing is rather insulting. If guns are such an issue for them, maybe don’t have their characters use them at all. We just want accurate representations of the characters and the objects they interacted with. If they used guns, we want to be able to recreate those moments. And where does it end? Can Mr. Freeze not have his freeze gun now? It doesn’t shoot bullets but is technically a gun. Is that why they haven’t teased an Arkham Freeze figure to go with XE Batman?
I suppose it’s the whole double standard that bothers me. They’ll keep using guns in their media but as long as their products don’t come with them, that’s apparently alright. I could even understand no heroes can come with guns, but the bad guys are always going to use them. Taking them away from them just seems silly. I mean it’s their property and they can do as they seem fit with it, but it’s an illogical move that isn’t going to help end the gun debate in the world.
And now we’ve got playmobile making James Bond items so who knows what’s going on in the toy isle anymore
He could take up handball...Deadshot's job is going to get harder.
In fact, he's going to be out of work if he's reduced to a pocketknife. lol
I like the red dress look too but to me the beginning of the movie video game inspired look is the best by a long long mile. It’s less logical for them to make that over the red dress look but if they do it’s the one and only Harley I’ll ever need to own
They've been allowed in some but not in the marketing, so it's unclear how that will affect Hot Toys since they haven't had a DC one in a while.Wait, what?
Warner/DC banned their merchandise from having guns? What kind of dumb***-move is that? It's not like it's a children's movie anyway?
By today's logic you'd seriously start to wonder how in the world it's possible that my generation (35-ish) grew up to be that age at all. Back then everything came with guns, swords and other kinds of weaponry... TMNT, MOTU, G.I. Joe, Thundercats, etc. Everything came heavilly armed. Sure most of the guns were somekind of sci-fi laser gun, but look at that GIF of Bloodsport and tell me that looks like a realistic gun...
Seriously, the state of mankind these days...
They're more likely to make both versions anyway before we see anyone else made (King Shark the exception).
So no idea what you are getting till they are in hand?
Lmao…. I swear this company is so stupid. More then half of the characters they have are equipped with duel guns or huge guns. Marvel are the characters that don’t have many gun characters but they happily give Spider-Man a gun
Interesting response to a problem that isn't relevant to the rest of the developed world.
Now I can’t unsee Dort…and like that, it went from good to bad.
