1/6 Hot Toys - MMS285 - Avengers: AOU - Hulkbuster

[Hologram AI]

They obviously haven't made an announcement but it'll be very weird if they just back out of including the two.

 

[Motuxmen]

It wouldn't be backing out given they never promised it in the first place. When it went up for sale there was no promise of either. Just because they where included on a couple displays isn't like they said it was a package deal. They build all kinds of dios that have stuff that never comes with the figures. All that they are obligated to include is what they said was coming when it went up for sale. They already added items to the initial offering no one expected.

If they don't throw in more free stuff there's no reason to hold that against them. It was never on the table to start with. It's been up for order for over a year with them never saying those items where included. Only fans speculating. To expect a company to add significant items to an order after it's been paid for is silly. And that's what they would be doing. Now they may do it, who knows. But to expect it is just silly.

There are ALOT of alternative Hulkbusters being released by several companies in smaller scales- King arts is nice but poor distribution compared to HT. I don't know- HT might lose some sales on theirs but it's sold out everywhere on PO so the limited amount they are making looks to be spoken for- let's face it an expensive complex item like this can't be produced in the numbers as say Luke or Kylo.

 

[Dino_Ranger_White]

Nope, never confirmed. Never even addressed by either sideshow or hot toys in fact. All rumor.

Huh… oh well. I am good with or without them. Just want tho beast of a figure in my collection.
All other Hulkbuster figures will bow down to this one.

And yes, I am including the 1/4 scale KA phone charger… I still don't get that thing, lol.

Agreed, the hammer-arm will never see the light of day in my collection but I'm sure it would appeal to a lot of collectors.

I wish someone could come up with some real dimensions. Height X depth X width. Hot Toys should publish this information for the larger figures

because KA already announced the hammer hand so people expect HT will also have one.

Well then people are insane. What one company sells included or not doesn't not mean your entitled to it from another nor should you expect it. Especially after an item has gone up for sale. Go compare every release King arts and hot toys have where they cross over and tell me how many have exactly the same things? The king arts has a silly clear face plate, so should I expect hot toys to have it, I mean throw it in for free a year after I paid for it? Or should I butch that the king arts doesn't have the five swap out pieces that the king arts has? Or that one doesn't even come with a mk43 and the other should throw it in for free after the fact. It's silly. You should EXPECT exactly what they announced. Nothing More, nothing less. What other items do you buy and then expect them to throw in extra stuff after you have paid? Silly silly thinking to expect a business to give you more then they announced. They may do so, but you should never expect it Becuase they have no. Obligation to and every incentive not to.

And maybe I missed something, but the king arts figures I've seen reviews did NOT include the arm. So...your whole point is, well, wrong. And just to show..here's the KA in box and, no jack hammer arm. Heck not a mk43 bust or head even. No BD parts. I'm sure your over in the king arts thread complaing that it doesn't come with those parts, since the hot toys does. Same logic.

 

[Jellowpy]

Not to start an argument but why does Motuxmen feels the need to make every comment he make like he is challenging everyones opinion? Most of time he makes sense but the way he delivers it is where i think the problem lies hehe just my two cents it has been a reccuring theme on all threads that i see him post LoL

Peace Motux heh

 

[Motuxmen]

. It doesn't matter if I just ask a question people jump my ****. I post lots of times that have nothing to do with an argument or anything like that. But when I do disagree Becuase of reputation (see your post, for example) it gets a lot more focus. There's a handful of people that go around talking trash about me even in threads I NEVER post in, Becuase they have brain envy I guess, so if I don't actually back up what I say I get snarky responses and ten people chiming in about why I'm wrong.

If I disagree I try to make one long post with my thoughts and if ou don't like me you skip that one post and that's it. But I will also reply when someone directly responds. As was the case here. I responded. Just Becuase he did it in a short post doesn't make it any less confrontational or challneging. Same with a meme or gif.

I do my best to address statements and things said, and not make it personal. Which is exactly what you did not do. Why is it not ok to challenge a statement someone makes about the subject of the thread, but ok to make comments about a person? Just Becuase you write "not to start a fight" and "peace"? That doesn't actual change what you said in between. That's like giving someone the finger while you smile. Your still flipping the bird.

As for the part about challenging opinion. It's a public forum. Despite popular belief your words actually carry weight. People will often take someone else's "opinion" as fact and that's how we get to people believing an item will be thrown in for free or was confirmed to be included...and lots of other stuff like that. Having someone say an item should be included will get some people believing it will be, or those that didn't think it before will them think it should be. And then there's just erroneous info. Which is what my post addressed. His opinion was based on facts that where in fact, made up. But that wouldn't stop someone from seeing it and not knowing any better and thinking my he KA would actually have the hammer arm.

There where multiple posts on this page that had facts wrong. Not opinions. Facts. And one that was entirely about someone personally. But I am sure it's me that's in wrong. It's funny how that works.

HT HB not having the jackhammer arm would be weird. I can't remember HT ever offering add on packs, so I'm curious if HT will go ahead & surprise collectors by including the jackhammer arm with their HB, or if they have some other plan. However HT might handle it, I still think the jackhammer arm will be offered somehow. Unless they are already planning a HB 2.0 version (or some kind of exclusive version) with all the bells & whistles included. Which, I'm guessing, might annoy some.

I wonder how many HB's they are making? I saw an interview with JC Hong saying they can't make more than 30,000 of each figure. With about a couple thousand imported to Korea. It's crazy to think HT might be popular enough to sell 30,000 units at their prices (That's $6,000,000 on a $200 figure, woh). I'm guessing the HB production run will be smaller than 30,000 though. Maybe quite a bit smaller actually. 5,000?

Random. Best selling HT figure worldwide, & the figure they make most in their workshop, according to JC Hong. Black Widow. What?

 

[LexiKon318]

Hahaha the more times I see someone mention that Black Widow factoid the more ridiculous it seems.

Is that man wearing Iron Man pants?

I remember seeing someplace a comment about the extra arm and Veronica being included, but I went back to Hot Toys site and looked through the news articles and the figure description page and it's absolutely true that those extra parts were NEVER promised as part of the package.

So whoever said that those parts were included: NO SOUP FOR YOU - NEXT!

It was shown at a show. I think it was the one in December?

 

[ImABarRoomHero]

Yes it was shown as part of a display in a show, but it was never promised as part of the package. It might be part of the package, or it might be offered as an add-on, or maybe they're simply displaying a prototype, but if you can show me where it says Hot Toys promised it as part of the Hulk Buster release, then you, sir, will have made my day - because it would be very cool indeed. But based on what I've seen, I'm not expecting it, to the best of my knowledge it has never been promised to us.

Right, sorry I misread your first comment, err didn't finish reading it. I thought you were trying to think of where it was shown. My bad.

 

[LexiKon318]

Wonder when they'll announce what the deal is with those accessories...they were only shown and we haven't heard a peep since. Just curious.

No problem - I do the same thing sometimes. Thank you for trying to render help. I really do hope they offer those extras either with HulkBuster, or as an add-on package, it would work very well with my display plans! But considering we're talking Hot Toys here, those extras as likely may disappear into legend like so many other possible releases that never materialize (which is always sad, but just part of business).

I'm thinking the same thing- these just won't be made at all for sale

 

[Breadstickman]

As far asI can remember, I think HT teased the 'more to come' for HB after the movie comes out & everyone just assumes they'll add veronica & the jackhammer arm esp when they showed the proto. What HT actually did was just to add the extra helmets & showed improved articulation on the hands & feet.

Completely agreed.
