Hot Toys should just follow the money then and ONLY do Marvel, Disney, Iron Man and Spider-Man products.
My problem with them is how they keep obtaining these other licenses and doing absolutely nothing with them. As far as Batman and DC goes, nobody asked them for Romero Joker or Kilmer Batman or Forever Robin, but once they were shown, people got excited and wanted them. Same goes for 1/4 scale announcements like Keaton Batman, Terminator and Predator. To date, NONE of these things have been fulfilled.
Then they just ignore that base of collectors for years on end and conjure up even MORE things that never come to be. Next year will mark 10 years since they announced the Burton Batman license. Back when they did QnAs, they explicitly stated that Penguin and Catwoman were coming. Well, it?s been 9 years and we haven?t seen jack **** despite the Burton Batman figures proving to be popular and in demand, even to this day. They completely squander a figure lines potential.
People have only been asking for Ra?s Al Ghul for only a decade. It?s a logical addition to the TDK Trilogy line being the main villain of the first film. Every company that goes all in be it Mattel to Medicom have made a version of him . . . but NOT Hot Toys.
Then they get salty when third party companies come in and try to fill the void and cash in on the money that is being left on the table. Remember a few years ago when the mods had to shut down several threads because Hot Toys and Sideshow were complaining? It was for those Michael Keaton headsculpts and Morgan Freeman figures back in 2012.
Well, if Hot Toys had fullfilled their promises, people wouldn?t rely on other sources to get what they want. **** them and their monopoly.
Silly novelty pap, destined to be given away down the road to someone who cares about it even less than you do and they'll throw it in the trash.
