1/6 Hot Toys - MMS280 - Guardians of the Galaxy: Thanos Collectible Figure

[WhoaItsJBot]

He's been introduced just fine. He is revealed as the one pulling the strings, gathering the Gems... He even had dialogue in GOTG and was mentioned by name several times. Can't be any more introduced than that.

Looks off there. Might just pass on this for the Infinity Wars one or wait and buy it if it makes it to 2016 Spooktacular. Still not sure yet. In hand photos might change my mind.

I'm in the same boat! I'm sure but unsure

I'm getting this one for sure. I'm not waiting 4-5 years or more to get one with the gauntlet. I'll just get that one too.The throne is a waste imo; wont fit in a Detolf like that.

 

[WhoaItsJBot]

Who's to say how HT will divide the figures... Infinity War is 2 parts. We might not get Thanos until part 2 which is out in 2019, which in turn would make the fig a 2020 release.

 

[Motuxmen]

Yea I don't look at things that may come later. Who knows if I'll be alive tomorrow let alone five years from now. So I try to look at each individual figure and release on its own merits. There's so many things that can change or happen that I can't see waiting on a current offering on the chance of future stuff

 

[WhoaItsJBot]

Exactly. I can't help but chuckle at the people that see every release and go "Pass, I'll wait for the next one". I've seen people passing on Vision because he MIGHT look different next time. Why are they even in this hobby?

You could pass on the Dawn of Justice Batman because he'll get a JLA figure, and you might as well pass on that one because he'll get a solo movie figure 5 years from now.

you don't have to buy every figure that comes out to be in this hobby. Thanos will be properly introduced when he actually does something or interacts with any of the characters we have figures of. And yes, I'm skipping batfleck but I might get the armored version depending on how it comes out. I also don't like having more than one version of each character because I feel it diminishes the characters presence on my shelf. I really only make exceptions for batman but like I said, I won't have two batflecks in a regular suit. There are a lot of different perspectives on this hobby.

Also, I've noticed that the movies improve the design and so does hot toys as time goes on. I waited for the latest cap and he's the best. I've heard Hawkeyes quiver hands work much better. Black widows proportions look better and I like the costume. Mk43 has the best articulation so far. The only expection might be Thor. I preferred the gold and the head sculpt still. I'm taking a risk that the civil war figures might be even better but that's why I didn't buy falcon or scarlet witch because I was hoping for a better costumed figure. Anyway, if I had bought all previous versions id have to store them and then sell them. Too much hassle. I don't need to keep a thanos for 3 years. So yeah that's my perspective. I don't think that I should reconsider being in the hobby for not buying all of those figures.

Problem with that is....why buy that cap? There will be one from CW. And maybe two from infinity. Why get mk43, mk46,47, 48,49,123 are all coming. Thanos may be introduced in IW but what if he gets a solo, or GotG 3? There will ALWAYS be a next one. Lol

And there's no promise anyone will be around for it. Or it will be better. Or worth it.

No you don't need to buy everyone. But passing becuase there will be something else, maybe, later is running in a circle. If you started collecting in 2008 and say ironman 1 and thought...I'll wait for the next....

 

[WhoaItsJBot]

I don't intend on collecting multiples of a character, bit if I like a figure I've decided to get it. I've missed out on too many great figures that never reappeared again. I regret not getting Fury and Coulson... I thought for sure Fury would get a new figure but he hasn't. Turns out he's not even in CW. Even though War Machine MIGHT get better armor in CW, I just got the AoU version. Didn't want to regret not getting such a great looking figure later. If his armor is better next time, I'll worry about that then.

 

[The Iron Koob]

Yeah fury and coulson are the only two that are big misses for me. I skipped them because I was only collecting batman stuff then. I guess the reason I picked the AOU versions is personal. I really liked the cap design as soon as o saw it and I prefer it over civil war. Same with mk43. I am not a fan of the organic armor that the 45 or 46 has. i liked the blue of bw and the accessories. I'll upgrade her head sculpt of its worth it. Hawkeye has no visible joints. Basically I knew they were designs I would not get tired of.

Also so its my understanding that most of the main avengers are going to be sitting out major roles until infinity war? I'll reevaluate my collection then. So with that perspective, I don't have a compelling reason to get a thanos right now. It's a safe bet that they're going to make him again right? A more iconic version since it will be "his" movie?

 

[evenflow]

I buy what i like and don't worry about the next one. If a newer version comes out and I like it better, I just sell the old one off and put the funds towards the new one. Did it with Cap, Iron Man, Spidey. Works well. Thanos will be no different. Can't wait to get him.

I'm starting to use this method too. Love it! I can get a lot and be happy

i think thats a good method, I end up keeping the old one anyway

 

[LOTRfan85]

Like I said, will wait for infinity wars Thanos when he is the main villain, as I do want that gantlet hand. 2016 will be the AOU collection, no room to fit in Thanos for 2016

That is true, for me it is more of the case of what I can afford to fit in, and 2016 I do want to get the AOU collection of the main avengers team, along with Ultron. Fitting in the AOU collection, and trying to buy Thanos on top of that will be a problem. I wont be able to fit in the side characters like vision, scarlet witch, war machine, quicksilver if he is released would be impossible, just because of prices and custom fees going to have to take it slower. Plus I do want to get batman joker boba fett and darth vader PF's, not to mention the City Hunter Marquette I really want to get

Yeah, I don't blame you overseas folks for being picky with purchases. Those fees and shipping costs alone would do it for me. Thanos was a must the moment he was revealed. Fortunately for me I don't want the entire AoU line, just a few. I already have Cap and War Machine, then Ultron Mk1, Vision and Maria Hill was just revealed. Those aren't out til next year so that's a little breathing room. Only other figure set in stone for me this year is IM Mk3. Hopefully I'll have a few reward points saved up by the time Thanos is released.

I do not want the entire AOU either, just the main 6 avengers and Ultron. Its a cool little project I am doing, as I can collect my HT's in phases. Thanos is tempting though, but I am going to gamble and wait for infinity wars Thanos, if he does get released. Gives me breathing space in stages, yea you guys are lucky with the shipping costs much lower

I'm piecing my Avengers line up together from different movies. Cap and War Machine from AoU, diecast Mk3, LA Thor, Avengers Hulk, custom Wolverine, and ASM figure. I might get Falcon if he has a Spooktacular deal. My villains collection is weak so I need to step that up... All I have for Marvel is Loki and Winter Soldier. Thanos will help that out quite a bit

e?

I'm sure IW Thanos will be the one to get
