man, i'm so glad i stayed out of the whole hot toys ironman hype. this reissue would have seriously pissed me off.

dont think there will be reissues of other licenses. i mean, just take a look at all the ironman releases by HT. it's obvious this line is their cash cow, and they're milking it to the max.

Batman Begins OC, ver 1, TDK-ver 2, Demon-ver 3, ExclusiveBW-ver 4.

Joker ver 1, Joker DX, Joker DX-ver 2.0..

Real proper term "re-issues" are Appleseed's Deunan & Briareos

By my count:
2 recent Batman movies: 14 figures/batmobiles

2 IM movies: 18 figures.

yahor... missed out Ada Wong... gosh...

HT just come out to announce Hall Of Armor and Relaunching of Mark I...

HT, please give me DX Luke and DX Han Solo... or DX Darth Vader (as Howard said SW will be DX)

I don't quite get the fuss really - shouldn't it be that one collects toys not because they are expensive and exclusive, but because that person really likes it for what it is? Toys shouldn't be seen as a status symbol, no?

Hot Toys not a toy... It's Collectible Figurine...
It's Art, well, at least for me la...

Same goes to Picaso's Paintings... they just drawing if you want to say so...
But for some people, it's Art...

^ It's Art, Mechanics, Design and Science... then collectible...

@Henrylow

Oh, then there is the difference in pov lor. To me, they are all toys
I suka I beli, and I hardly ever expect their prices to appreciate.

Me simpleton, hence still buying figurines after almost everyone else has moved on to HTs, nendroids, figmas etc.

anything you think worth collecting, is collectibles ...

ppl do collect weird stuff, and it became a trend..

bottle caps .. used stamps ... old notes ...

toys? ,........ maybe expensive toys....

depend lah I guess....some buy it and play with it then you can call toys ...some buy it keep it mint in box or displayed with one pose then can call collectibles....

whichever way.....the end result for me is to make me happy....

playing with something doesn't make it a toy, at least not to me. If it has no apparent practical use, and is akin/similar to what I would have wanted to buy as a kid, then yeah it is a toy.

i keep most of my 'toys' in their boxes, or in detolfs. Same arguement as in gundams being model kits or toys (imho toys still, even if I only keep them in static poses once I've painted them).

now that henry has mentioned it, I do buy art pieces like the occasional vase, painting or abstract sculpture, but I hardly expect them to appreciate in price either... mebbe I need to rethink my expectations/approach

Hence the label: "Above 15 yo".... and "Adult collectible"

Like "Hush puppies".... shoes and "not silent young dogs"

But at the end hot toys still limited edition lo, at least they not going to mass produce their product like hasbro and keep abuse it.

i think we should stop arguing, toys or collectibles or reissues or limited/collectors edition or epic edition. just buy what you like most and enjoy it

agree with u judge =)

Expensive Toys or Collectibles or Arts... We still buying it, right???

OK guys, let's focus...

As HT got the SW license...

I really want a set of DX Luke + Han Solo cosplaying Stormtrooper... LOL...

playing with something doesn't make it a toy..............wow this is another level

DX Luke head on a Medicom ST and Han Solo (or Indy DX head) HS on a SS ST.

Wikipedia
A toy is any object that can be used for play. Toys are associated commonly with children and pets. Playing with toys is often thought to be an enjoyable means of training the young for life in human society. Many items are designed to serve as toys, but goods produced for other purposes can also be used. For instance, a small child may pick up a household item and "fly" it through the air as to pretend that it is an airplane. Another consideration is interactive digital entertainment, such as a video game. Some toys are produced primarily as collector's items and are intended for display only.

Collectable
A collectable or collectible (aka collector's item) is any object regarded as being of value or interest to a collector[1] (not necessarily monetarily valuable or antique).[2] There are numerous types of collectables and terms to denote those types. An antique is a collectable that is old. A curio is a small, usually fascinating or unusual item sought after by collectors.[3] A "manufactured" collectable is an item made specifically for people to collect.[4

actually a good DX darth vader would be jsut awesome... like the hasbro version.. the 2 in 1.. anakin darth vader version.

but in better HS
