Re: Freaktacular 2016
Thanks all! Yeah, it's all very awesome!!
So now that SDCC has come and gone, anything on anyone's radar as a must own? Hot Toys really killed it this year for me. I'm trying to keep most things to a single representation for that character in my collection, aside from Star Wars, where I'm hoping for one from each film. That said, the Endor Luke and Leia -- while looking really good -- didn't do enough for me to spend that much on them. But Anakin looks fantastic, and opens the door for a RotS Obi-Wan, which will be amazing if they do it. I'd love a Padme also, and just have the trio, but I could see them stopping at the pair. Well, a possible Windu wouldn't be surprising.
Justice League really looks amazing on the HT front. In the end, though, I'm fine with mixing bases and focus on the best sculpts, so I'm not sure if I'll end up with an entire JL team. I think this'll be my Superman figure though, as I love how the brighter blue pops on the new figure. I also really like the Flash's outfit, and am still waiting for the right Wonder Woman sculpt (they nailed it with the training outfit figure, but I'd like an iconic outfit for the one I get) and Batman I'd like to get with an Affleck headsculpt (which has to be inevitable) so it's entirely possible that Supes will be my only JL figure.
I'm eager to see their full reveal of the Wolf Predator too, as he's the man. So needless to say, FAR too much on deck for Hot Toys!
I'll have to pick and choose at times...still waiting for a Baze from Rogue One to be revealed.
On the statue front, there are some really nice ones, but I'm not sure if I'll be in for statues anymore. The Alien Queen looks gorgeous; but she'll definitely be incredibly pricey, and even more so with the exchange, customs, shipping, etc...spending $500+ more than those in the States gets nutty after a while!
I also really, really, REALLY love the Dog Alien from Prime 1 that was revealed at Wondercon...but again, I think I'm out just from finances on that front. Super tempting though!
