A General Chat about Hot Toys

[The Entity]

I for one am not going to replace my arnie. Too similar to what I have already and the cut out head piece is just a gimic to me. I wouldn't ever pose it that way.

1/4 is way too big for me. Part of the appeal of 1/6 is the size. Getting that large, detailed as it is, loses the amazement affect of "how do they do that?"

I totally agree with you on that! I have no interest whatsoever in 1/4th. I think it cheapens the look of a figure.

As for the DX T-800, I'll definitely be skipping him. I'm more than happy with my regular T2 T-800. That's a true icon on my shelf!

I will be keeping my T2 Arnie, and will also be purchasing the DX. I can see why people would be upset over it not having a second sculpt. Who knows, with people spilling their outrage over it not having the battle damage sculpt, maybe Hot Toys will cave.

It's possible that Hot Toys could be working on a Arnie with all the damage he had at the end of the film. That would be neat, but unlikely I think.

Damn, just popped onto facebook and the vile that people are spewing at HT

I think these last two (MK 6 Reissue and T800 remake) are the final straw for a whole bunch of customers.

I've been growing dis-interested with each pre-order from their lack of variety for a while now, but suddenly it's cool to hate HT

I get it for sure but some of these people are really vulgar throwing about swears, insults and so forth.

Kinda pointless, never even posted there

 

[KBA]

What are your thoughts?

Very lame DX. Watch it be plagued with CQ issues lol

 

[Jackhepburn]

Hot Toys are Evil.

 

[NCC-1701 no bloody ABCorD]

I don't own any HT, and at the rate at which I hear about all the QC issues I don't think I ever will.

 

[Grosby]

You will own what I tell you to own.

 

[NCC-1701 no bloody ABCorD]

You will own what I tell you to own.

OK... OK.

 

[SideshoMel]

Still love them mind you but there's definiately some tarnish on Hot Toys armor.

Same here, after this week I can truly feel that they added more bad chinks in their armor as well.

 

[Eamon]

My collection as of today. Fellow freak Figurefreaks suggested these u-bolts as a means to customize the cabinet so I can now fit Avatar Jake Sully in.

 

[Uncanny Web-Slinger]

Can't remember what the last HT Pre-Order to sell out before release was, anyone know?

 

[RagingBull]

I don't think any HT figures will sell out now on PO. There definitely making hell of a lot more figures than they used to. Supes, Batman'89 etc etc would of been sold out in a couple of months on PO but there still in stock now.

 

[meanstreak]

Yeah, these are no longer "limited edition collectibles" IMO.

Yeah, they'd be better classified as just "Highly detailed, highly priced figures"

 

[K.bowen]

Yeah, they'd be better classified as just "Highly detailed, highly priced figures"

that take a very long time to be released

Space it out while paying off for one figure
