    1/6 Hot Toys - POTC5 - Jack Sparrow Figure (Artisan Edition + Regular) Collectible Figure

    That price difference didn't make a whole lot of sense to me -- the wool dreads and cloth bandana don't have the same level of visual impact as rooted vs. sculpted Joker, for example -- but I'm happy for the folks who wanted Artisan and glad the Deluxe is there, even though I've got no idea how...

    InArt - Dune: Paul Atreides

    A full line from Hot Toys would almost be as surprising as multiple figures from InArt, tbh. Hot Toys is addicted to getting 3/4 of the way through a line and just... giving up. If they had the Dune license, we'd probably get, like, Paul, Duncan, Piter de Vries, a Chani prototype at a convention...

    InArt - Dune: Paul Atreides

    I feel that. My thought process was that if a Part Two Paul ever materializes, I'll just sell the Part One figure to fund the new purchase. I expect that'll be a popular move, so I'm not necessarily expecting to get my money back, but the option is always there!

    InArt - Dune: Paul Atreides

    Ironically, Chani is the only other Stillsuit character I'd want, but I'd much rather get someone in a different outfit -- Feyd or Jessica -- for a bit of contrast on the shelf. The tailoring of Jessica's outfits in both films was immaculate, so they could make for stunning figures in the right...

    InArt - Dune: Paul Atreides

    Until InArt double dips, I'm not just going to assume/hope they will. I'll continue operating under the assumption that we'll get one-off releases until there's evidence to the contrary. It's far easier to plan a collection when you plan around what is, not what might be.

    InArt - Dune: Paul Atreides

    To be clear, I don't see a single person arguing that they'd rather pay for an add-on pack versus getting a full figure with the care & attention of any other. Most of us are just being realistic that a separate Part Two release is unlikely to happen, or at least very, very far down the road...

    InArt - Dune: Paul Atreides

    All or nothing is just a silly attitude to have, IMO, so I guess that's just where we're gonna have to differ. Every single figure I've ever bought has come with accessories that I have never used, but I would never in a million years argue that other collectors should get less just because I...

    InArt - Dune: Paul Atreides

    I know that's what you want. I'm saying that it's not realistic. We've seen how InArt operates. There's nothing to suggest that they're going to make a second Paul Atreides figure anytime soon, if ever. This isn't a debate between kitbash versus full release; it is a debate between kitbash or...

    InArt - Dune: Paul Atreides

    The sculpted hair admittedly looks really good; the color of the prototype was just way off, both hurting the likeness and being too dark to appreciate the detail. This is a nicer look at it. That said, I still went with the rooted personally. If I'm paying InArt prices, I want the full...

    InArt - Dune: Paul Atreides

    It's not going to be accurate regardless, my man. For one thing, they have that weird button on the crotch that I hope will be fixed for the final release... Here's the good news: you are getting as close to accurate a Part One Paul as you could possibly hope for! Nothing they do about Part Two...

    InArt - Dune: Paul Atreides

    All I'll add to this discussion is that there's been plenty of conversation about whether InArt should/will do more Dune characters, and the general consensus seems to be no, they should prioritize getting more licenses and continuing to do awesome one-off releases. If that's the case, why...

    InArt - Dune: Paul Atreides

    The only accessory that's really Part Two specific are the worm hooks, and those did technically appear in the first movie -- they were just being held by Liet Kynes and not Paul. Same deal for the thumper. Everything else is either something Paul wore or handled in Part One. Part Two...

    InArt - Dune: Paul Atreides

    For me, I'd want to see Feyd, Lady Jessica, or Chani in that order. Love a good hero/villain tandem, Jessica's outfits are all incredible, and then yeah, another Stillsuit character interests me the least.

    InArt - Dune: Paul Atreides

    The best part about a Feyd figure? No choosing between sculpted and rooted. 🤣

    InArt - Dune: Paul Atreides

    I wanted to wait until I saw Part Two before deciding on this, and now I want a Part Two figure instead. The blue eyes, the tan headwrap, the extra weathering... but that's far from guaranteed, and this is really pretty...

    Hot Toys DX24 & DX25 Bespin Luke Skywalker (Regular and Exclusive versions)

    I know this figure is a popular customization choice... How easy is it to remove the top without damaging the figure? I've seen parted-out DX07 tank tops, and it's made me consider grabbing a second Luke off eBay to kitbash a Dagobah version. Got no experience with this sort of thing, though.

    Action Figure CC_TOYS the last survivor Joe

    There's also a difference in weathering. Package C gets you the "clean" versions of the outfit and backpack. If you want the weathered versions, you have to get Package D.

    1/6 Hot Toys 1/6 Battle Damaged Thanos

    I dunno... I'm the kind of nerd who'd love to have six Infinity Gauntlets to represent each Stone as it's added, but I can only imagine the price tag on something like that... :horror

    1/6 Hot Toys 1/6 WW 1984: Wonder Woman Regular Armor

    Damn near pulled the trigger on a JL version a few times, now gonna hold off until we see more of this. I like the more vibrant colors, and it doesn't come with that silly oversized JL base. Might ultimately come down to accessories because the sword, shield, and cloak from JL are all pretty great.

    Birds of Prey - 1/6th scale Harley Quinn (Caution Tape Jacket Version)

    Out of curiosity, where do you suggest? I've been wanting to jump ship on Sideshow before I build up too much in rewards and feel obligated to stay, but I don't know the best alternatives. I'm in North America, if it matters.
