Yep. Never thought about it when I started collecting - which would have been HTs, think my first HT was the Stealth Cap set. Which I still own. But for me, not only have prices in general shot up; there's a move to make these "art figures" - and I don't think of them as toys even though you...

Yeah, I carefully watched the unboxing vid; not knocking the HT but....gotta admit I was a bit disappointed in the HT not having metal arms - tho not sure how that would have worked out. No light-up even tho it's a feature I don't use much. For my purposes think the HASBRO will do. Target has a...

Elrond sculpt was so good I bought him when I wasn't planning to; he's awesome. (y)

Suspect if you did as good a job on Dain as on Gimli - e.g. heavily armored dwarves - he's be bought up. A tough dwarf in gleaming red armor with a big axe IMO would sell out. And he's something different. If you can even pick up WETA's Dain at this point - long sold out - it costs over...

:duff LOL if we were out for drinks we could bring our figs and debate points for hours. I'll grant - tho I haven't paid much attention all these years - looking at Obi who is currently standing next to Aragorn - lol Obi's hands seem kinda large. Now I've got something else to OCD over.:lol I...

Because IMO it's not a better price to value, except maybe the sculpt. Not paint. Plus in my case I have to factor the hours of labor of struggling with hair because Aragon's hair rooter didn't get enough sleep, or whatever. Then there's the cheap materials and/or other things I need to...

Well, speaking as someone with 1 pool of money that gets budgeted out - or doesn't everyone start that way? Like many, I've already been priced out as a collector - e.g. that started more with WETA statues than anything, then the money creep hit HT e.g. figs went from the 200s to the 300s and...

For myself I try to be fair; trying to think if I ever bought a figure that I thought was just plain *&^%, across the board. Well maybe he's not complete *&^% but wasn't thrilled with CW Bucky - IMO not a great head sculpt with plain paint, pants too short, the boots were curved so without a...

To me this isn't accurate elven cloak material at all, or even something a bit plush like ASMUS microsuede. The real cloaks are thin, yes. Thin woven wool with a distinct pattern. You can buy a real one...

I tend to like my characters medieval/scruffier/long hair. I'd be happy with the Ezra look, to me it telegraphed a character I like dealing with his circumstances. I don't want the Ezra with his later military buzz. Tho in theory I guess something like that would be easy to overglue with fiber.

I'll disagree - still feels like folks are glassy eyed over sculpts; and maybe some accessories; but ASMUS and other companies are equal or better in cloth quality and some finishing details. Or; at least, what I really paid for was a sculpt I had to spend days on, some nice vambraces, and some...

Well the thing is, for me, that this Mando movie is probably gonna be a mash-up of everyone in that time frame; am sure Chopper will appear...but knowing that plan I promised myself that I'd stick to Mando "origins" and chrome Mando was it, along with BOBF And I'd ratchet back :rotfl except...

Yeah. Suspect I will put it in the Romulus category. Enjoyable, many well done aspects, probably too much rehash, but on the better side of sequels and definitely worth a movie ticket. Not the worst thing, to be able to kick back in a premium theater and just enjoy. I already think of what...

He's so good wish I had the time to spend a day playing with him. This one needs to taken outside with a decent camera etc. I've always liked the ROTS version - this sculpt IMO is a perfect segue in the face to an older, more weathered Obi in exile. I like having a little story arc of a kind...

:exactly: Love the Bad Batch too; but for me it's one of those things where I can only "triage" to my most favorite and have to let go of the rest - or, pick up a 1/10 IS or a Mezco or Hasbro. If the show had been primarily about Ezra - whose arc I quite like - well, then I would have gotten...

Well, like with loose HT joints, you could try the trick of a thin coat of super glue tho for myself I'll try clear silicon in the socket of the foot of my new Gambit where a foot keeps falling off. A thin coat of E6000 epoxy which dries like a tough rubber might work too. Just a tiny dab from...

Everyone up to now has had a Viggo problem. :lol Even here the forehead thing tho in ROTK his forehead looked pretty high anyway.

Well, TBH, while I'm cynical about InArt and their puff pieces about their quality control etc. - Except for the Harry Potter arm thing I don't think I've read anything that isn't fixable. Since I managed to pop an eye out more than once. Worst case I'd order some good quality glass eyes and...

Nice review. Think ur a little harsh about ASMUS - tho I agree pretty much not even WETA got this close. Except, yah know, for the forehead thing :monkey3 . But that can be worked around. Whether the cheaper material/finishing use bothers people - it bothers me, since this was supposed to be...

To be fair I shampooed him twice, he got a bit of spray and hair oil on him and the paint held up. But hearing all this I will be extra careful in the future. I need to invest in some good flesh toned touch up paints anyway, and brushes and supplies. I've heard of folks using makeup, which is...
