[mikericm]

Its back up again. I messaged him and he replied it isn't scheduled to be released until 2019. Maybe he has some insight that they ARE releasing this again...

I would hope for them to release him again, preferably with the Yellow gloves.. maybe a Ragnarok version. Then, they can do a new headsculpt with it would be nice.

Also, they can include the

Spoiler

Red mystic rope/vines he used to pull on Thanos' glove, and the orange energy sword that he used

I'd get that in a heartbeat.

Yeah...he's got that scammer knowledge.

 

[Sildedaspo]

Yeah it's a total scam. It wouldn't cost $350 either. If it were a legit preorder because of his insider knowledge then it would be a legit price, hahahha. The folks who fall for that are the same who put money down on Molecule 8.

While I don't believe this is a legit item, the seller does have almost 20,000 positive feedback at 99.6%

Re-releasing or not... I still wish they would have stuck to this outfit design instead of reverting entirely back to the solo movie design.

Even if they are it won't cost $399.99. Why would anyone be dumb enough to take that risk?

Desperation makes sane, rational people do dumb things.

The actual item already has a 5 star review also. Hahahha, "excellent figure, thanks!" This is a scam sandwich. Reported. Dont like having thieves prey on the community.

It wasn’t taken down, it was sold

Says sold 1 and 9 still available. I reported it on Ebay, I encourage others to do the same so people are not taken advantage of.

I don’t think it is a legit ‘new’ release. I’ve seen footage of that same display on YouTube. Judging by the photo, that is a Hot Toys display from Festival Walk in Hong Kong.

There is a YouTube channel by a guy called BudgetStark where he shows that display and identifies that Strange figure and a few other figures as character “Place Holders” among the new Infinity War figure.

I'm sure this will get an IW version- he is pretty key in the movie and has proven a popular figure....

Yeah BudgetStark The collecting communities leader in hunches and guesses

I could see a summer exclusive maybe. But even then if they were not planning on making him before the movie and just decided to make him in the last week or so it would be next fall before they could get him out.

 

[ArtDamage]

I feel like if they decided they were gunna release him they'd just use the prototype they have to solicit for preorders with the usual "Final product may differ". I would not be surprised if they wait until the next film or maybe even Dr.Strange 2.

 

[karamazov80]

I could easily see a battle damaged "movie promo" version. Except the movie promo figures typically are released prior to a movie's release, thus being actual promotions of a sort.

I think the biggest factor is his secondary market price right now. HT knows they can make a quick buck by selling a few more Stranges for IW. Drop the book accessory and put in some magic whips, maybe even some battle damage paint on the head and enough people might double dip in addition to the new comers getting him for the first time. Easy money.

 

[karamazov80]

I didn't realize the stock had dried up. . .might have to sell mine now

I was actually primed to sell my figure a few months back, but was too lazy to get the box out, take pics, list, etc. Now, after seeing the movie (he was as important, and seemed to get about as much screen time as any other hero), I'm less inclined to sell! I know, as we all do, that we'll get another version when the next Strange movie hits. And chances are it will be an improvement of one kind or another. But as pointed out above, that figure is probably 2-3 years away from being a reality.

True but it sounds like Howard had no plans to make him. He might have changed his mind in the last couple days. So they might be working to get a prototype with some of the things you mentioned approved and up for PO but i doubt it will be anytime soon.

It is shocking what people are paying for this. $650??!!

I mean, you'd hope for an improvement, but this figure is probably as close to perfection as we're going to get for awhile. I could see them maybe throwing in different accessories, but I don't think there really is too much room for improvement on the sculpt and tailoring though. Just my opinion though. Doctor Strange was one of my favorite stand alone movies. So I had to make sure I ordered it as soon as I could. I definitely don't regret it.
