1/6 Hot Toys - MMS - Avenger: AoU - Maria Hill (TF Exclusive) Collectible Figure

[JMW326]

No regrets here. I was very happy to get the notice that this one is coming soon. Can't wait.

I regret paying full price for the Batman Armory. And the RoboCop with Chair and the BD RoboCop and Murphy sets.

 

[OutLander]

Neither do I, no regrets. Sure, I could've saved $20 but I used a monthly code on something else.

The way I figure it, everything tends to even out in the end, like in that Seinfeld episode.

This may be the only figure I've ordered from SS that I've bought without a discount. I wanted to use my reward points but forgot to do that before hitting the buy button and with the NRD I didn't want to cancel and order again. In the end I'll use the rewards points on another figure and with the $110 in reward points I've been able to get from the last 2 spooktaculars I'm not going to worry about buying one figure at full price, especially one that looks as good as this one.

Still haven't received an email for early processing yet for this. I may just keep it on track for middle of next month for last payment at this point. I just hope I get it before XMas, but I doubt it.

Christmas is the date of my last payment

I'm taking extra time off around Christmas so it would be awesome to have her to play with and have the time to change up my displays. We'll see I guess.

I don't get many figures but I keep missing the discounts. Or just not waiting long enough. I'm sure I'm minus around $50 or so. I really thought this figure would sell out because she was a Toy Fair Exclusive.

i was lucky enough to get $20 off when this became available for pre order. It was an offer from Sideshow for an issue with a previous order. Also in reference to this not selling out. If you recall Coulson didn't sell out right away. Most people thought he's just a man in a suit. He eventually did once he was released. Then he became popular when Agents of SHIELD debuted. Then everyone was scrambling to get him.

Just got her, but she's not as photogenic as I thought it would be

Does she look better in hand than she does in photographs?

Pretty much the same as what you see in photos I have no idea what is HT's issue with dead eyes on female figures.

But she does look more "Barbie" in person though.

Here's a random shot I took.

In pictures, her face doesn't seem very "life-like" to me. More "Barbie-ish", as you mentioned. I'm hoping that isn't the case in hand. I know some figures tend to look better in photos than they do in hand, and some figures tend to look better in hand than they do in photos.

For me HT tends to look better in hand but I've only been really disappointed with Stealth MKVII. In the promo pics it had that nice blue hue and in hand it was matte black. I returned it to SS.

The blue hue was courtesy of some really good photography/lighting/Photoshop. I liked the matte black; the problem was that the metallic black/brown didn't show up well in my lighting, so it just looked like a giant black piece of plastic most of the time. It unfortunately lived up to its stealth moniker... pity though because it could've been a sleek looking armor otherwise.

Back on topic, I'm feeling less optimistic about my chances of liking this figure when it arrives next month... It might be another "used rewards and can't return/cancel" scenario.

It's definitely not on the "Must get" list but it serves as a purpose for me to complete the AOU line.

I think most of you would skip this for something better

 

[WhoaItsJBot]

Maria is more of a buy because of Fury and Coulson. I wouldn't really buy any to display by themselves.

Mine will be going with fury with the bridge diorama. Perfect
