2009 Battle of the Godfathers

[galactiboy]

I don't think anyone will be let down by the HT or EB figures... but since I already have the HT on order I'll be sticking with them. The amazing thing is I would have been totally fine with the figure as it was, but now its even more amazing!

The fact that the chair has a cushion just blows me away

What makes you think they dont monitor the site, Thats what I do!!

Makes me laugh that people have already written off Enterbay.

Hot Toys running scared of a small company like Enterbay, OK, I'm a official dealer of Enterbay so I'm a little one sided, but I also stock Hot Toys too.

Dont get me wrong, HT Godfather is fantastic, just wait to see what Enterbay has on offer.

Would you think HT would of done a tweak if Enterbay wasnt a threat, you guys would of been happy with the 1st proto!

This poll was at around 95-21 before Hot Toys showed any tweaks. I wouldn't say that "Hot Toys running scared of a small company like Enterbay" Hot Toys IS showing strengths in trying to eliminate their competition, this is a great example.

You sound biased over this item, I can guarantee if EB reacts the same way they will not be around much longer. Good business is professionalism and not taking things personal.

Now all that being said i'm a big fan of Enterbay and most of their work so don't come back chastising me out. I also said that if Enterbay could pick up similar licenses compared to Hot Toys that Hot Toys would really have something to worry about.

Enterbay has some fantastic talent but lets not all get ahead of ourselves, take away their Bruce Lee product and they are as small as the new "Subway" company.

I am a little biased as I said but who said about taking it personal?

I'm a HT and Enterbay stockist, dont do any other figure company so who ever sells more I'm not loosing out!

Why say take away the Bruce's? thats the foundation of Enterbay, whould HT be where they are today if the didnt start with the soldiers?!

HT is running scared! I know!

 

[galactiboy]

Not sure about running scared... I'd say they just brought out a bigger gun

 

[hydrobud]

you guys would of been happy with the 1st proto!

as the poll states , majority of the voters prefered the 1 st proto over EB's. if HT announces today that they decided to go with the 1st proto after all , it still blows away EB . the only HT critism ive heard is the the cat.now EB on the other hand needs a total work over. this is not a horse race ,its a landslide.

 

[EVILFACE]

Lol, running scared.

 

[galactiboy]

I will say I still like the hands on the EB better... but aside from that I'm feeling the HT version more. BTW, has a price been announced for the EB version?

Not sure but Toys2.net has it listed for $199.99 and the Hot Toys version at $149.99.

 

[galactiboy]

Yeah, feeling it even less for extra $$$.

 

[blakus939]

Hot Toys all the way, Enterbays is real nice, but the head is kind of off, shrunken neck, bit too wide.

i believe its 179.99

I think it would be great if Enterbay decides to tweak theirs. That would make this all the more interesting. Nobody has written off EB, it's just that most people prefer HT's over EB's so far. If EB has more to offer beyond the proto we've seen they'd better hurry though.

Hot Toys running scared of EB? Come on now. EB is definitely competition but hardly a major threat yet.

HT has tweaked plenty of prototype product in the past. How much influence EB had on it this time is anybody's guess.

All I know for sure is is that if EB continues to grow and both companies are trying to make the best 1:6 collectibles out there then we come out the winners.

True Dat!

 

[thenammagazine]

It'd be great if Hot Toys made a Luca Brasi to stand behind Vito.

 

[noisetrigger]

HT scare of EB? Surely the a candidate for joke of the year.

Shops here can't get enough of HT figures while EB have trouble finding an exclusive distributor since being the main dealer means having to take at least 100++ unit of each releases and no shops here are confident that they can sell that much of EB products.

And yes, we just got another shipment of FOF BL here, serial no 32XX. Those 5000 are sure selling fast huh?

 

[creecher]

Well seeing as you got a second shipment, youse must be confident enough to sell at least 200. Well done, but why do they have to sell fast? Enterbay at least disclose their edition size in advance. Who knows how many Hot Toys might make of any particular item. It makes me tend to think they run the edition size depending on the pre-orders that are made. No wonder they sell out fast.

 

[galactiboy]

At least we know how many of the Sideshow exclusive were made... so I guess that's something.

Wonder if Sideshow will ever enter into a distribution relationship with Enterbay? Seems they are selling everyone else's figures (HT, Medicom, Amok Time, GoHero).

I think there is definitely bias - we all know and love HT already and many have never heard of EB until now. I really do think that the jury is still out on this - did anyone see the tray of Jack Bauer production figures that EB is putting out? They are definitely coming up to and surpassing HT is some respects.

 

[GGC]

I have the Hot Toys on Pre-Order but I may end up getting the Enterbay one as well once after I see the in hand pics.

 

[FlyAndFight]

I found this hilarious, for some reason.
