I am new for this 1/6 new hobby...and now i starting to collect Hottoys..
Guys, advice me please, is it worth it to spend money on previous edition of batman series? Or will new version coming in..
Plus is it risky to get older version of iron,an hottoys..will the price be dropping as new figures coming in or will it be exclusive?

Batman... DX11 and 12 are the last 1/6 scale Joker/Batman for the forseable future..
1/6 Bane was just released... Catwoman perhaps in a month or two
1/4 scale Dark Knight will perhaps be released this half of the year
1/12 scale The Bat will be announced soon.... presumed it comes with a 1/12 Batman (hopefully Catwoman too).

Iron Man...... as long as Marvel keeps making Iron Man movies... I suspect HT will keep producing figures... get a Mk.7 if you want.... then again there's Mk 42 and new War Machine in the near future...

Pricing... my rule... never pay more than retail price... if it drops all the better..

Exclusives: HT's way of Jacking up Price on already expensive figures that HT deems the demand would not be high or HT would have to sell at a lower retail price.. creating an artificial demand that fanboys will buy in droves... my advice again don't pay more than retail or feed middle men...

Thanks you for your advice though..still, i am a huge fan of batman, and this creates a problem where i have no no HT 1/6 figures at all. I missed the older preorder and now i have to start buying from the LYN streetmart.i can see how the dx12 price rosed from rm750 all the way to a minimum rm900..now i have to fork money to get the joker,catwoman,bane,gordon,batpod,trumbler..
Still having you as a mentor does a great deal in my journey towards hardcore collector.

Batsuit differs.. Most would say: 89 Bats looks better.  No problems, I've 5 or 6, 89 Bats...

Still on sale on angolz... less than RM500 including shipping (I you can get additional coupon code, even less), Yes, the face has a dimple already, put back the paper that was there before...

Dissapoinment
Pardon my post..but i really need to express my dissapointment of how some collector werE treated. Recently i decided to participate in LyN streetmart, engaging in bargaining with other collector.
I was really dissapointed on how fellow collector even dares to manipulates,tricks and even says harsh words to other collector.
Does collectors are only limited to those with money? Why some decent middleclass people cant be a collector and only those with money can.
Still i know, despite all these..we collector stand united against scalpters.

seems like the prices there are 'jacked' up as well right?
manipulate and tricks? can elaborate?

They first give price A, when you are interested, when you were ready to cod, they suddenly says price B
When you disgree, they says that if you want cheap product, domt bother to be a collector..
Some even dare to label people..

unfortunately this is the real world...According to what you have stated, the seller is not a collector. He is fishing for the highest price taking advantage of buyer who so hard up in getting the figures. If you fall into the trap you will pay through your nose. Look at the bright side at least you are not at the staging waiting somewhere for COD or posting stage where seller /items does not turn up.

on the other side I have also encounter with dumb dumb "pretend" buyer asking a lot of questions on the item and bargaining on price and when eventually I agree on their offer, these retards start saying this is not what I wanted, I use up all my money, I dont have enough can you lower some more,etc. Then you know these are people who has nothing better to do and wasting your time. Delete and move on...

Haha..just check the box and delete..and next page please...good one..

Anyone knows the rate (percentage) imposed by the malaysian government on imported toys.
What is the tax involved? Any exercise duty included?
Given a $usd 100 toys , how much more do we need to fork to pay the taxes and duty?
Thanks

Anyone knows where I (and if possible) can still order HT Selina Kyle/Catwoman?

Missed the boat but got lucky with Bane and managed to get it off the shelf last weekend. Just collected my Joker 2.0 last night too.

Thanks.

Hot toys in general is starting to lose its shine, or for me at least. Used to be that you would feel proud to own one, but nowadays with popular franchises being milked to death and multiple versions of the same figure (eg Batman/Joker anyone?) being released so often, I kinda feel sick already. No more the "collectors" pride anymore in owning them.

But this is just me la. Others may disagree with me and that's fine too.

So this is the main issue.
As a company, how may you survive without producing new products.
This is a question that is very hard to answer. They need to keep on producing more product to make sure sales are generated.sales generates revenues that pays off for capex and opex.
Licenses fees are very expensive. To cover for this, they need to produce enough figure to pays off the licenses fee. If they limits the volume, there will be a small funnel of sales channel. This will eventually limits the number of collector,makes the item desirable but very costly.producing it at a slight higher volume, will make it lost its slight exclusivity but enable more sales to pays off the licensing fee. This makes the item slightly cheaper to us
Its a ongoing battle..they just have to be wise to balance it.
