Why not do a BEGINS 2.0!!! “Just a domino effect of shit” - Riley Reviews 2024. That lowkey does sum up TDK trilogy Batman announcements the past few years 🎯

All companies, all of them do not want a secondary market. The “value” you believe your figures has is self imposed. Funko reissues quietly, Hasbro, Star Wars, name it. Vintage signs, video games, all reissue. Not saying is right or wrong. Toys are not meant to be investments. The next generation of collectors have the right to get those pieces that they missed No?

I’m completely fine with 2.0 releases. What I’d like to start seeing in the future is 2.0 accessory packs of said releases, in case the 1.0 figure CAN be upgraded with some of the 2.0 improvements. That way you aren’t tossing that first figure aside and effectively flooding the secondary market as well. Maybe not all of the original figures can be improved, but certainly headsculpts and single parts of outfits and other accessories. It would not be terribly difficult for a company like Hot Toys to do this. If Asmus Toys can do it, so can Hot Toys. It’s time they grew some corporate balls and took a risk and tried it.

@@CollectorZown Yes, we are all aware of this. Hot Toys practices some pretty shady shit. They intentionally only make slight improvements with each new release. They want to stretch out their profit margin as much as possible, instead of diverting resources to branching out and making a wider range of characters. Hot Toys would rather give us reissue after reissue, instead of knocking it out of the park the first time. Very rarely have they ever just given us the straight up definitive version of a character. I honestly can’t even list one. I’m sure they are a few, but I’m struggling to recall any that would never, ever need a 2.0 release. Maybe Yondu? Speaking of Guardians of the Galaxy, the first Star Lord could really use a new coat made of genuine leather. That accessory set would guaranteed sell out. A lot of people still own and prefer that first figure. I doubt anyone’s coat is still intact after all these years though. The satchel either.

I think you have to look at as Hot toys isn't competing with itself, it's competing with J&D and InArt who are coming to the market with Dark Knight figures, and even doing this armory. It's for new collectors, who didn't get the 1.0, and for those who want to upgrade. Plus It helps them be defensive about keeping the license too. WB doesn't seem to care about exclusivity with licensing, so everyone is coming to play right now. And it's great for the customer, we are getting options. Including back pedaling and getting used cheaper 1.0 versions.

Yeah man, maybe it is a WB thing. Especially with DC not having a lot of options for selling figures with its market, it’s a fair argument. Thanks for watching!

Is everyone forgetting Hot Toys has their Asia market, it’s not always about us. JND Studio has a 1/6 Batman Amory and this is going directly after that as a cheaper alternative. Just my opinion.

I saw the video title and it took a minute to realize that this wasn’t about the one they had just announced Lol. I agree that this new one looks way better, in my opinion. The tailoring looks incredible, but I don’t like the Bruce Wayne expression at all. I believe the only thing Hot Toys is concerned with is how much money they can get out of us. Once they get the money, it’s on to the next thing. I don’t mind 2.0 because people that are new to the hobby can get figures that are too rare or too expensive now. It doesn’t devalue my 1.0 unless I let it. Only I control whether I forget the joy I felt for the 1.0 is gone because they announced a 2.0 that we probably won’t see for 2 years lol. My biggest beef is why they keep releasing new versions of this Bale Batman and shit on Batman Begins! Great video, bro!

I get the frustration with them being released so close to each other but this isn’t a 2.0 to the acrylic version, it’s a 2.0 to the exact same armory that was released a few years back that had a version with Alfred. Looking at it like that I think it justifies the 2.0 naming convention. I do think it sucks that they announced so close to each other though

I’m debating on what to do, I have TDK Rises one on order still and I want this new one. Do I just keep the order and get both or cancel TDK Rises? They’re from different movies, so I could definitely make it work with both, but I’d save myself $600 dollars by cancelling 🤔

Hot Toys doesn't care about aftermarket value at all. The reason for making limited runs is to get people to pre-order so they have money to invest in production. They don't give a crap what it's worth after release. I do agree though they should have waited because this will def cannibalize their sales on the DKR version. Only hardcore dark knight fans would want both. I only collect Batman and even I only want the Dark Knight version.

Hey Riley, great video of you sharing your thoughts. While I understand that you prefer Bruce Wayne in a suit, I also think that having Bruce in his gym shorts holds just as much value. Reason being that this less formal outfit captures the brokenness that Bruce had experienced being Batman for many years. That knee brace is pertinent to telling that part of the story and it’s great that Hot Toys is giving us that alternate look to show another side of him. Agree?

That’s actually very well said, I never thought about it that way but this is a great way at looking at that set and differentiating the two. Thanks for sharing and watching!

Its odd the troopers (black & white) w/DS environment, Imperial Commando (BB), Obi Wan (Mandalorian armor), etc were just announced but are already out. The timing of announcements/releasing BM DX19, DKR armory, DK armory 2.0, etc seems odd too. These actions were probably planned at least yr or two ago. HT must anticipate how will collectors will respond. Most businesses make decisions in order to make a max profit. The current state of global economy makes those decisions harder. I'm sure on the business side (capital, logistics, etc) of HT there are things going on that we are not aware of. W/that being said its hard to know mindset of HT. Enjoyed your video. Keep up the hard work.

Also Riley, people who have expendable income and the space to have this armory, will have both versions. They are from two different films. Just like the dark Knight had the Joker as the villain.

The dx19 had wide open eyes yes, but the mouth plate is better, with ot's cowl it looks amazing. The body is better but damn. Bale keeps getting made to look older, by everyone. This looks like college humor batman Is it good? yes, but it's how repetitive it is. And it doesn't look as good as OT's upgrades or Unreal's interrogation cowl (picking one specific scene can help as bale in the cowl will always slightly change), they should hire them because at least the constant releases will be worth it.

Tbh superhero/fantasy "movie" figures rarely gets an up value since companies will always redo them no matter what unless they are owned by sony 😂. The only figures for me "that" has any real value are video game figures since once they are done it takes a very very long time for them to redo another one on that "specific titled game" heck maybe even never again. Like lets say the final fantasy 7 1/6 figures by gametoys i know they are third party but til this day no company has ever made a sixth scale in a "hot toys standard" figure of any final fantasy character and the quality they made is very hard to beat if square enix even tries. Now lets say a kratos(not in a mondo/damtoys,rah, purearts standard) but in a "hot toys/inart standard" was released or lara croft, nathan drake,the original solid snake not big boss. This is also one of the reasons i have respect for iconiq studios tackling video game characters in a higher standard even compared to their movie licensed ones.

These are different armories...both will sell. The batman collecting community is massive and both will sell. To the average collector no, we want just 1 representation. Hot toys will make money off this, that's all they care, money talks and if the majority are buying it then they don't care about the angry customer at the end of the day...those angry customers will still buy hot toys.
