    Hot Toys X-Men: Days of Future Past - Wolverine (1973 Version)

    When was the last HT Wolverine released? I’ve been collecting for nearly six years and cannot recall being tempted by one at retail, only aftermarket.

    Hot Toys Spider-Man (Andrew Garfield) - The Amazing Spider-Man 2 [NWH]

    Iron Studios released their NWH trio of Spider-mens a couple months ago. During their reveal stream, they mentioned that one of the actors (did not name) withheld his likeness rights. So all the statues will be the masked versions. If it was Garfield holding up IS and tried to hold up Hot Toys...

    1/6 Hot Toys - CMS 011: Boba Fett Arena Suit (Toy Fair 2022 Exclusive)

    Your cash grab line got me going. I think a lot of what we see with the ‘waitlist’ is less about psychological warfare with customers and more having to do with someone needing to manually check a schedule to see when the next batch of something is due to arrive. Then they update the website...

    1/6 Animated Clone Wars Anakin & Obi-Wan Sixth Scale Figures!

    The Anakin figure looks so freakish with that tiny head. I feel like someone might be able to save the Obi with a custom paint job. I like that they ended the stream showing a slideshow of the prototype stills. Try to make people forget what you just showed them. Sounds like they’re announcing...

    The Orville (FOX TV Series)

    Seth also probably had to “Trojan horse” the show to get it made. He was/is really pigeonholed creatively to just stick to humor. He probably leveraged some star power during the Fox/Disney merger to get some creative freedom.

    Haslab: Ghostbusters Plasma Series Spengler’s Proton Pack

    heads up that Hasbro has made a running change to the Neutrona wand. The future batches produced will have an orange wand tip used for ‘toy guns.’ The last of the silver tipped barrels that were produced in 2020 got sent out in late Spring/early Summer of 2022. So cherish your early neutrona...

    1/6 Hot Toys - CMS 011: Boba Fett Arena Suit (Toy Fair 2022 Exclusive)

    I’ll probably be proven a fool in a couple days, but I could see this as having legitimately gone to waitlist. The chrome clone was waitlisted not long after Anaheim. Sideshow could be sick of having convention unexclusives sit for years in their warehouses. Order limits could be genuinely...

    Hot Toys Princess Leia and Wicket Collectible Figures Set

    I want to point out that the above poster is also from Australia (like Popcultcha) so the photo is in Australian Dollars. In USD the price is coming up closer to $500.00.

    G.I. Joe: Classified 6" figures

    I agree that the pricing especially on Kamakura and the 3 pack Vipers is ridiculous. And I don’t disagree with your perceived value on figures. Also I didn’t mean to come across as too strong if I did. But even if your perceived value differs from MSRP, Buttmunch’s original correction of using...

    G.I. Joe: Classified 6" figures

    Are you in a fairly rural area? Count yourself lucky that a lower cost of living region has slowed the price uptick for you. But the fact of the matter is that Hasbro has really jacked up the underlying wholesale cost which is forcing the 24.99 price point. For example, Hasbro may have been...

    Hot Toys - MMS657 - The Matrix Resurrections - Neo Collectible Figure [Toy Fair exclusive]

    One reason I collect 1/6 is sometimes for the artistry of the headsculpts displaying certain actors more so than certain characters. Keanu is one I passed on previously because the younger Matrix version didn’t resonate with me and the bloody versions of heads like John Wick turn me away if I’m...

    Star trek: Strange new worlds

    The character’s death was part of Bruce Horak’s contract from the beginning. He knew his character wasn’t making it more than one season up front. Here is an interview with the actor that confirms...

    EXO-6 Star Trek "General Discussion" 1/6 Line

    That’s both kind of cool but also sounds like a PR nightmare. I can just imagine having to constantly explain that there’s a regular preorder window coming.

    G.I. Joe: Classified 6" figures

    When Lenny talked about the tow-hitch, he made to specifically say “in the future” in a way that was very different from when he discussed the missile ports on the side or the blast effects. Unless it is a very simple tow bed with missiles, most things would be too big in scope for what Hasbro...

    EXO-6 Star Trek "General Discussion" 1/6 Line

    As a collector, that edition number seems scary low. But I would guess your numbers are based on what your factories could realistically produce. I would prefer short 24-hour preorder windows, but that still risks overwhelming capacity. If you must go this 100 edition route, consider doing it as...

    G.I. Joe: Classified 6" figures

    With the level of engineering put into this, a sub-300 price is great in 2022. The engineering for working treads was likely more complicated than anything on the sentinel. The electronics are also really nice on the tank. It would have been really easy not to run lights to the rear of the...

    Hot Toys: Thor - Thor Love and Thunder 1/6 Scale Collectible Figure

    Like Holo posted, Black/Gold fur look is the only Thor I’d consider. There’s at least three other characters from the movie that would be far more interesting shelf additions. Also, nitpick here, but can we get the thread title updated to specify that this is to discuss the Hot Toys?

    1/6 Hot Toys - TMS 078 - The Book of Boba Fett: Boba Fett

    If it wasn’t for how cool the throne is, I’d say the way to go is this release and two pack. Unfortunately I am a sucker and will probably get them all. But this deluge of Bobas is the perfect example of why it is no longer good to preorder Hot Toys. The production schedule is too far out and...

    Most Vexing and/or Horror Inducing Hot Toys Design Feature

    May I suggest you restart the poll with their stupid flight stand as a base option? Not only will it destroy your character’s outfit over time, but they can’t even bother to give an alternate crotch grabber with the flight stand. That truly has to be their worst and most pervasive decision.
