A General Chat about Hot Toys

Some really nice display ideas man!

The middle Iron Man shelf in particular, & your Rescue Cap spotlight set up - well done.

Thanks dude!

That Iron Man section is in bad need of lights so the Monger can really stand out.

Sadly Ikea have changed the colour of their lights so i gotta wait and see if I can get the older ones.

I had a re-arrange of my collectibles room today. Bit of a spring clean, took everything down cleaned all the cabinets and behind them ect.. and changed things about.

Got all my Superhero figures assembled together for a fight, looks cool

Sorry but I think you are going to have to prove this 'cool' with photos!

ha this thread is great. Three years old now and using the same thread. It is its own time capsule.

Early on people are talking about Hot Toys getting too expensive at $150 and looking forward to upcoming licenses like Avatar

Avatar... HT royally screwed themselves over - not to mention Avatar fans - by not including an angry sculpt. Now there will be no Neytiri - the cooler character - and poor old Jake is still sitting there at Angolz for $220

Case Fresh recently had Jake Sully for $175 shipped during their sale.

Amazing price - no surprise that it sold out quickly after the.. discount.

Shame more don't have him, it's an AMAZING figure

 

[Eamon]

It's a great figure for sure!

You go a great bargain there vintii!

I didn't buy it mate.

It is a great figure, sure.. I just have zero interest in it.

Maybe that'd change if they made Neytiri..

I just want to know do you all buy hot toys figures to collect for your personal hobby or collect for investment to sell later down the line. And what exactly makes a particular figure more rare or collectible or increase in price than other figures?

I buy them to flip, so I only buy those that are guaranteed to increase dramatically in value. I even bought 5 Two Face figures when they were languishing in bargain basement bins. You have to know when to sell too. I sold 8 Mk 1 figures the day before HT announced the 2.0.

See, I was thinking of buying two figures every time so I can sell on elater to make up the price.
But it's not easy determining which figures will gain in value.
