I DON'T GET IT. do they not think we want movie figures?

hasn't hot toys proven that they'll sell? i don't understand how it's possible that the only way to complete a set of figures from these marvel movies is through a company that produces high end, expensive, collectors items. this is getting ridiculous.

figures of the hulk, iron man, war machine, quicksilver, captain america, scarlett witch, hawkeye, hulkbuster, ultron, ultron prime, vision, and thor are all needed in this line.. but how many of those are we getting?..

not only that.. but the only way to get ultron prime is by buying all of the ant-man figures? are you kidding me? that is the single dumbest thing i've ever heard. and the only way to get hulkbuster is by buying a bunch of comic figures?... what about people who only line the movies and never got into the comics? or ant man? what are they supposed to do?

this is seriously getting out of hand.. with the spider-man legends we only got spider-man.. no movie versions of rhino, electro, or goblin..

with captain america, we only got captain america, black widow, and the winter soldier.. no falcon, no fury..

with iron man 3.. we got iron man, and iron patriot.. are you joking? out of all of the armors that were in that movie.. all of the bad guys who were in that movie, we gut a bunch of comic figures, iron man and iron patriot.

is this a joke, a scam, or both? .. someone PLEASE tell my why they're treating this movie, which will likely be one of the biggest of all time, like this.. do they just not care about collectors (my guess would be yes)..

so, if i want in scale versions of all of those avengers 2 characters, i'd have to spend roughly $3,600 for the hot toys versions.. doesn't hasbro want any of that?

I think you need to take a step back. Maybe breathe a little. You may not like it but most of what you mentioned makes plenty of business sense. It isn't a scam, it's a way to sell figures. That is what BAF has ALWAYS been.

Making Hulkbuster a BAF allows them to make him the size he deserves to be.

Ultron? Well, the IM3 Ultron figure sold terribly and I'm betting that might be why movie Ultron is a BAF.

They are giving us movie figures for Ultron, Iron Man (2), Hulk, War Machine, Ant-Man, etc. There is plenty out there for collectors that just want movie figures. It might be harder to get all the ones you want since they arent in one tidy set but you can still get them. And there are already good movies figures for most of the other characters anyway. This way they get the comic fan that doesn't much care for movie figures and there is less risk of product not selling in stores. That is better for everyone.


Hopefully characters like Falcon and Quicksilver will get made but the fact is they may think the demand is too low. I know I would have liked more IM3 movie armors but there were so many and they showed up so briefly that I dont blame them skipping it. I'm really surprised Hot Toys has made as many as they have. The runs must be small enough to ensure a sell though.


Also, they did make movie Electro for the Legends line. Not sure why anyone would ever want that but they did make it.
