It's amazing that these guys don't learn from their mistakes.....

To be fair, we initially had about four days to order their HL Joker, which was their first release, and we now have a month and a half, which was also the case with Gandalf and Pennywise, so they did learn from that.

True - but as I remember, there's actually no way for them to really enforce this window, with regards to retailers. It's going to be impossible to force someone like Spec Fiction to close their pre orders before they've fully allocated their stock - yet charge them the full amount for the stock they've order from Queen.....

According to Kit, owner of OneSixthKit, they do take these things very seriously. They even publicly disavowed or at least scolded another well-known Asian reseller, Toys Wonderland, for their malpractice with regard to their Ledger Joker.

The tailoring on the Bruce Wayne (in my opinion) looks terrible. The flannel shirt and the size of the tie - looks well cheap.....like what you'd see on a DiD German trooper figure, or an old BBi figure.
The Batman figure looks ok, I'm a bit concerned by how poorly the action figure body "fills out" the suit....but to be fair, this is typically an issue on (almost) all action figures.
While I was considering this as an alternative to the statue offerings, those "minor" drawbacks all remind me why I got out of 1/6 in the first place. Those trade offs are too big (for me) to justify the cost. I'll stick to statues and I'll watch others enjoy the 1/6 sphere of collecting.

My only question is should I cancel my 1/6 Hot Toys Deluxe set?
Though honestly I was already thinking about doing that given I also have the Prime 1 1/3 version on preorder too.
