1/6 Hot Toys - MMS289 - Avengers: AoU - Hawkeye Collectible Figure

i might like the character more. That's usually why I buy figures.

That's the sentiment for the majority it seems, just read the Mandarin figure thread and this is what you'll see for 90% of it.

Hmm. So are people willing to buy a crappy looking figure if he's cool in the film?

What people consider 'crappy looking' varies greatly, so that's hard to say. However, an amazing looking figure like the Mandarin sold poorly b/c of how it was portrayed on film.

Yeah it's mostly sentimental for me. The only superficial deal breaker is the likeness. If it doesn't look like him then that sort of kills it. I wasn't particury fond of bales batsuit but the character was pretty big to me overall so I bought it.

Yea I know the way people view things varies. Lol I've posted about that many times. Lol some didn't get deleted even.

I was just asking in general. If you thought a figure was ugly but the character was pivotal in the film would you buy it(not directed at anyone specific, open query)

I would have bought mandarin. But up till now I've tried to stay away from villains. My attempt to limit spending in some way. But I've given up on that too. So icmay go back and get one. Maybe. Lol anyway...

The first Thor was pretty ugly but I'd still get him cause it's THE FIRST Thor.

That's a good question, I think my answer would be 'no' at this point. I bought the first Whiplash figure when it released but ended up selling it b/c I just didn't like it's look. Mind you, I'm an IM completionist and also collect every Marvel villain, but I still unloaded that figure. I may backtrack and pick him up eventually just to satisfy my OCD, but as it stands he's out lol.

First thor is awesome

Well that one has mods. The stock figure imo looks like crap.

Yep. Just put him on PO myself. Flex pay starts as soon as Cap ends. Be my first none Cap related fig, and at the same time, set me up for building the team slowly with my favorite versions of each character. I really like Black Widows new look, but I love this jacket look for Hawkeye. Can't wait for the movie to drop in a few weeks.

I am not a Hawkeye fan at all and have the first figure because the wife wanted it. However, I actually really like this newer version, personally. Uncertain if I will order any of them because I have a few PF's coming and want GotG figures more, but I wanted to stop in and say how much I liked this one.

And there is your daily dose of useless posts, I'm BG, thanks for reading.

Do any codes work on him?
