wow with so many cell batteries, there might be a switch for every LED or at least switches each side

I'm interested in that Soap Studio's Reactor thing that Budget used to control the lights. Some type of motion remote to activate all the lights at once.

How does it work? I know yu have the thing over the figure and it turns on and off. But how does it intergrate itself with the figure?

Ugh! I almost pissed myself when I thought they finally had done wireless inductive power! Still pretty neat, but it uses wires and contact points for each battery location...

Ah.. Thanks for the video. That helps. So you would need to hide the wires behind the figure. And if you wanted to power all of your figures this way you would have a butt load of wires running behind your display. Nice for a single display item though.

looks like they already made one for this figure

Its just a power brick with a bunch of outputs on it, you plug in and run wires to each battery compartment. You just would need to buy a pick 'n mix of plugs that match the battery size for whatever you want to power, they don't have to make custom versions for each figure.

ahh i see. I think the lights look cool if you just want to showoff to someone. Never had to turn mine on

I know, very disappointing that they still haven't managed to make this this a "one switch turns all". Play Imaginative had a remote control for their 1/4 figures, you would think HT would be on that level by now.

I would like to be able to see where the batteries go and where the light switches are located. I must have asked for that 5 times already.

On that level? I for one am VERY glad that hot toys is NOT on the level of PI. On anything.

PI did not release any 1/4 scale figures with the remote controlled Light effects. Each limb has a battery compartment and switch even the feet.

If you were an owner of the two released 1/4 figures you would not be so negative towards them.

Yep. No one that has actually seen the PI 1/4 in hand would ever make that comment. Once I get the 43 in I will be sure to post all 3 together for comparisons. The paint on the PI is every bit as good as HT products. The digital scans on the pi 1/4 also is top notch and superior to HT proportions for the armors leading up to this 1/4 offering.

I will proudly display the PI product right next to this QS MK 43.

The PI stuff looks way nice overall, just can't stand that they're shorties.

hahah I love your posts. Always wanting measurements.

 

[Royce12]

Count me in as another PI 1/4th fan. My Iron Patriot will look great next to this figure.

Well we still need to get confirmation. Cause the HT QS figures released to date are the actual shorties. The endoskeleton while a beautiful piece (that i am staring at right now) is WAAAAY short by almost 1 inch to the Enterbay BD T2. HT Batman is about 1/2 inch underscaled to the Enterbay Batman and Joker as well.

I just got the EX Boba Fett in last week, I need to take a ruler to him and see how he is sizing..... hmmmmm.......

I've seen them. I've also seen the others. The 1/4 hot toys is as good or better. From a company that still exists. That didn't essentially recall a product that was so bad, a 1/4 iron man, that not a single tested version was worth selling. That showed a dozen prototypes of 1/4 and nearly 100 in other scales that never made it to market. That had such a poor QS that marvel pulled their 1/6 license. That had such a poor reputation in the community that it had to rebrand with the same license, twice(to super alloy then to CMC).

The two 1/4 that made it to market where pretty decent releases. My point was that hot toys is not on the level of PI, they are light years above them. Hot toys doesn't have 2 successful releases, and hundreds of no shows or fails...it has hundreds of successful releases and a few misses. And they have/had the license the same length. PI got its marvel license in 2006. The complaint that hot toys is less then PI becuase they have more switches...it's crazy.
