Why did Hot Toys stop using PERS?

[Cap'n Cook]

They're using PERS on the new Jack Sparrow tho. I hope it's dead and buried after that, since it ruined Indy and every Bale Batman figure.

The new jack sparrow has ERS, not PERS so hopefully it won't break as much.

But Yeh, I don't care for it.

Enterbay's old system was far simpler and worked fine, but HT had to come up with a point of differentiation. Hence stupid PERS.

Personally i love the PERS/ERS system,especially on quarter scale figures where i feel it works best. For me it adds so much more to posing and displaying...hence my disappointment that HT didn't include it on the new quarter scale Batman and Joker..

Price point for PER circa Indiana Jones DX 05 to Joker DX 14 was average $220 - $240 with foam insert and everything imagine in the box. Today $220 gets you a figure with stand, one pair of hands and a gun. So in todays world I think that a DX would be over $300+ (not including new Jack DX as he is essentially a rehash!! (nice figure though)

Missed opportunities for DX IMO BD Robocop, Yoda

See title. Why did they stop this? It was amazing on the Batman figures.

They broke too much breh.


Moveable eyes work better when they're on single posts like Hulk, QS TDK Batman, Returns Batman, etc.
