And that's why competition is a healthy thing

Cannot wait to see the 1:4 marvel line, OMG!!

Wait until HT first pre-order and the figure retail $450+.... Think 1/6th line is expensive. Wait until you get a load of 1/4 scale price

apart from exciting news. HT, please don't use limited edition words on your ad!

Getting rid of 1/6th, hmm, what a bold move..

No kidding.

I'll just have to ignore this 1/4 scale announcement as I simply can't afford it. If their 1/6 scale figures are already getting to the $500 mark, what could we possibly expect to pay for a 1/4 scale figure?

I am hoping for a decent 1/4 scale body that I can customize into a Frost Giant for Thor.

Space issue will probably prevent me from buying but that's a great news for 1/4 scale collectors

I don't get how this could be an attempt to "kill" Enterbay.

It's not as they were announcing 1/4 scale Bruce Lee or T2 to confront directly with EB.

If anything, more companies successfully producing 1/4 items (GG, EB, Hot Toys ...) will "encourage" the one manufacturer that made this scale so popular, to go back to more consistent quality standards (and yes, I'm talking about Sideshow).

What I want to know is: If they release a 1/4 scale figure of a character, does that mean they won't release a 1/6 scale figure of said character?

They will just be competing with themselves and on top of that we will have to deal with the incessant comparison between the two.

Argh!!! Only reason I haven't preordered Enterbay's 1/4 T-800 is me wanting to keep the same scale! But now Hot Toys is saying their 1/4 will be even better in quality?! Not sure I can afford both the TDR and Avengers in 1/6 AND 1/4. May end up waiting to see how much more detailed the 1/4 are, and if they'll be in the $300 range. Plus if they promise to revisit all their past releases in 1/4, I'd consider selling all my 1/6 for the 1/4.
