1/6 Hot Toys -TMS 068 - The Book of Boba Fett: Fennec Shand

[user 67922]

Yep, told you all it’s from Mando. This is not BOBF Fennec unfortunately. This is HT trying to market it as such to capitalize on BOBF hype and release.

They’ll probably do the same thing with Cobb Vanth, hold it back to release as BOBF instead of Mando. I’m sure they’ve been tipped off about certain cameos (not all).

Toys Wonderland charges immediately for payment in full for preorders right? Seems stupid to pay this far in advance before June 2023.

I can understand why overseas folks use the HK resellers but it feels too risky with Sideshow as an option here in the US. Q2 2023 is a long way down the road to be paying up front to a small entity in a foreign country that can fold up the tent whenever they please. I'll wait until I get a coupon to preorder.

Shame that it didn't go up for PO 10 days ago, while my SSC codes were valid.

Her face is a bit more round than on the sculpt which is a bit elongated, but its hardly a deal breaker. will add her to the collection for sure

That might be what's throwing the head sculpt off for me. Honestly, I see more Michelle Yeoh here than Ming-Na Wen. Not sure if I'm picking this up (love the design, but trying to not expand the Star Wars collection), but glad that this is actually releasing for all the fans who've been waiting for her.

Here's a pic of the two of them during the Crazy Rich Asian's premier

It's got to be the Asian genes that we all look alike/related in one way or another.

Tbh I even find Sideshow preferable to UK sellers recently. $290 there would equal £290+ ($390) here. Mind you everything in the UK is an obscene price these days.

Only 1,750 HKD ($225) at Toys Wonderland. Even with shipping it’s a good deal.

or

2,000 at Toys Buying Agent with his 100 HKD off code. That’ll be shipped price.

Toys Buying Agent just as good as Toys Wonderland? Was looking to get the Batgirl and seems like TBA has a better deal.

Yeah, the only thing I have ever pre-ordered from HK is the upcoming Axel Foley figure from Toys Wonderland. There weren't many options to order that figure and at the price, I was willing to take the risk. Throwing $200+ at them and waiting for two years is beyond my level of faith...

There isn’t t much between them. The owner of TBA is a really top guy to deal with. They were always my first choice, but the 50% deposits make it difficult for me to use them all the time these days.

There have been quite a few fun third party figures go up for preorder that I have passed on fairly recently because I just have too much money going out for some expensive large scale items I have on order. A bit of a shame because they are cool but cold hard reality has smacked me in the face, I can't collect everything.

Don’t you just love the feeling of being bankrupt by your favorite hobbies.

Yeah I was using a bunch for a while but then the 20% option seemed to be open for like a few hours and then was sold out, and now they don't even offer it. Not paying 1/2 up front so far in advance.

I've had some great experiences lately with Giantoy - fast shipping and exceptional customer service. I typically use SSC for a lot of this stuff, for the peace of mind with security of the order and returns if needed, but may try them.

...Now where is that meme I see on OSR all the time showing a guy standing in front of about six Detolfs crammed full of Gundam or Transformers stuff in a pair of dirty, ragged underwear with holes in them...? And everyone laughs because its true.

@MasterRazzerr76 - Sell off your unwanted organs on the Black Market and use those funds to get what you want. Problem Solved right??

So Alter Ego is full-on tax and shipping now? I signed up for their newsletter ages ago but never saw any news from them that they had decided for sure that they did need to start charging tax now.

I can understand missing out on some third party figures, but I wouldn't skip this gem !!!

I mean he is "The Chosen One".......
