Before you criticize someone, you should walk a mile in their shoes. That way, when you criticize them, you're a mile away and you have their shoes.

I saw the movie yesterday and if Hot Toys not screw up the face, which I not believe, I will buy it in a heart beat. Anybody know when the full review is announced?

I wonder if say it does come with flexible rubber skin or whathaveyou, will it deteriorate in time?

I have very little experience with 12" figs, but I have a suspicion that they just don't last. I've heard joints getting brittle, seams oozing oil, fabric falling off..

$450 for a toy hahahah people out there must have alot of money... Have no idea how they come up with there prices honestly.... Toys in stores are $25 average.. Cause the quality is better and it's a 'collectable' toy it jumps to $250 + hahahahaha no way...

HAHA its not a toy, Its a high quality, hand made, hand painted limited edition figures. The research and development, and copyrights that goes into each figure is not cheap. They are not mass produced like Walmart or Target action figures. Hand built and finger crafted=High Dollar. Just because they have some plastic components and are poseable does not mean there cheap.

Same thing goes for DieCast Automobile collectibles. You have 1/18 Maisto collectible cars that run $30.00 each and are mass produced, then you have AutoArt cars that are $130.00-$300.00 each because there are fewer made, and have many more parts and are entirely hand built. You have collectibles that are hand crafted, then you have these limited edition figures and cars that are Finger crafted which means the precision in finger crafted compared to hand crafted is like night and day. Finger crafted is much more precise and difficult.

I agree with all the criticism regarding to the price range of such an item. It's absurd really.
