Shops and stuff will have to have put their orders in way before the movie comes out, they're in a weird position because maybe this would have sold well with positive reception of the movie, but how are they going to know that?

If Hot Toys spent less time trying to catch the "hype train" and more time focusing on high quality figures from previously released films this wouldn't be an issue. You're right, this is all trailer based, this could be one look in one scene for five minutes (I compare these scenarios to Anakin swinging two lightsabers in Episode II for 10 seconds). But this is what HT does, so after they sucker you into buying this one they'll do one that's actually based on the film and not trailer clips (see Endgame Thanos & "Battle-Damaged" Endgame Thanos or Armored Batman & "Battle-Damaged" Armored Batman for more info).

It's no secret their best figures are the ones that are based off of already released films. You have the time to put together the right sculpts and get the right accessories so you only need to buy it once. This is not one of those situations.
