Same here. I started with "must haves", gave into the "well, they'd complete the set"s, and now I'm at the hundreds... Granted, lots of them are imaginery hypotheticals that will never happen (companies are just lining up to make a 400$ figure of an unknown character from the 2000AD books...), but still. I have some rough parameters and a "list", but it's not "strict".
I'm a quality over quantity collector, and don't want my display to get cluttered (I'm now at a one figure per shelf display), but it does take self control. Realizing that I don't need physical representations of everything that I like, and getting rid of my completion obsession over the years helped along the way.
hot toys ain't even got a chance. theyre usiing plastic for peacemaker's tongue. give us some real HIGH END ****, medical grade SILICONE TONGUE

I was surprised to read a few posts ago that you only have a handful of (1/6) figures, so it sounds like you're actually doing pretty well so far.
Totally. Loki was suposed to be releasing last summer, then Q1 2022, now 2023. Imagine when a new Joker could be arriving to us... Absurd.
I guess familiarity, cheaper price and international availability with additional costumer support, plus say what you will about HT but their products are always high quality with minimal to zero QC issues, Queen is just coming onto the 1/6 scene which is completely different from statues and they're making big promises, but nobody here knows how the final product will turn out which makes some hold off.
This figure has definitely put some figures I have on the chopping block. Not in order to pay for it, but about the level I want my collection to be at next. I’ve been buying a lot within the last year based on the fact that I couldn’t get some stuff while I was out of a job for about 8 months almost 3 years ago now. I’ve got about 20 on the list that are probably going to get sold within the next couple of months. I’m actually spending a lot of today putting many back in their boxes
I mean in terms of actual availability, it wouldn’t really clash with Queens Joker, at least for me. Say Queens version releases Q1 of next year at the latest. Hot Toys announces a Joker 3.0 within the next month. We would all have seen Queens production Joker before Hot Toys version actually releases for another year or longer. I never PO or order Hot Toys figures anymore until they actually start releasing in HK so I would be waiting to see how their production version looks like before deciding if I wanted it or not.
