got my order today

 

[Jaymole]

Yes, I ordered it and got the right one. It took a long time, like a month to get it. The box was sealed and in good shape, but was missing the outer "camouflage" clear plastic slip cover.

Hi

I just ordered this yesterday and then I discovered this forum as I just started collecting Hot Toys figures. Can you let me know which Predator you received. I thought I ordered the Original Predator put out by Hot Toys but that stands 14" so I think I ordered the wrong one (I'm new to this so that's no surprise). These are the details of the one I wanted:

Over 24 points of articulation
* Highly detailed armory and figure body with newly developed chest and arms
* Removable battle damaged mask with light-up laser 'tracking' (battery operated - batteries included)
* Real fabric net body suit
* Interchangeable open and closed mandibles
* Articulated shoulder cannon
* Extendable wrist blades
* Bone Trophies
* Highly detailed medical kit
* Interchangeable hands
* Wrist computer
* Detailed jungle themed display base

Thanks in advance!

Thanks, much appreciated!

That's the problem. Commtech said he received the right one when someone asked if it was the original predator. There is no picture on gohastings site and all it says is "Predator Original 12 inch Figure" and the price is $169.95 before discount. I see now that there are quite a few Predator figures so I am wondering if I ordered the one I posted here. I have a feeling it isn't.

I guess Commtech may be the only one who can help me as he ordered it and received it.

I'm glad I found this forum, just a day too late I guess

Thanks. The first link is what i ordered but there is no picture and it says 12" so that is why I am unsure. I called customer service and they couldn't help me.

I also ordered 4 other Hot Toys figures from them yesterday but they had pictures and I knew what I was getting. However, I discovered this site after placing the order and I see that people have got damaged boxes. At least they allow you to return them but I would have been more wary if I knew that the boxes may not be in very good condition.

 

[ProgMatinee]

yep if boxes concern you, you probably won't be happy. but these are made to be opened anyway! boxes schmoxes.

Thanks...I am a real newbie to the Hot Toys world, and I am starting to see that there are alot of figures that I want to own that they have put out...I am a little overwhelmed right now.

And this all started upon seeing a display of the Iron Man Mark 1, Policeman Joker and Hellboy 2 figures in a display case at a retail store on Monday....I got hooked right then and there!!

Glad to see that there is a helpful and informative forum like this, I am glad I found you all

 

[JacktheRipper]

Jaymole, I'll let you know what I get since I ordered the same one. I believe we'll get the one we want. And commtech was referring to that one. As for the box it's going to be a crap shoot. Just be expecting the box to have some shelfware.

Thanks JacktheRipper, I feel a little better now. I don't mind some shelfwear....I will display the figure of course, but I would like to save the original box as well and I don't want it too beat up.

I went to a retail store today and bought the new Wolverine figure (my very first figure!!!). The box it came in is really nice so maybe that got me a little more eager about having a box in good condition

 

[JacktheRipper]

jay, you just stepped into a very expensive and addictive habit. You just spent quite a bit in a matter of days.

Yes, that's the one I ordered under that same description.

Welcome to the hobby!

 

[espino419]

ok does anyone know which of the new figures hastings will have so i can hold off on buying its killing me seeing some of these figures on sell well i bought marcus wright and another t-700 couldnt pass up the great deal lol

 

[Jaymole]

Yes, that's the one I ordered under that same description.

Welcome to the hobby!

Many thanks Commtech!

Even if the box is damaged that is a great price ($132.80) for the Predator figure. I can't find it less than $200 anywhere else.

 

[Jaymole]

Yes, I know...but my wife is away for a few weeks visiting family so now is the time I can sneak them into our apartment without my wife seeing

 

[MeguiarsEM]

Just ordered a HT John Connor at $113 shipped. I hope it's available and ships out quick. Anyone else order a John Connor in the past???

 

[denryanj]

I've been pro go.hastings up to this point, having received an SS Vader and a Stormtrooper from them in fine shape. However, to my dismay, today I received my ordered SS Sandtrooper and the figure's pauldron was missing from the box.

I'm debating whether to email and complain(which will undoubtedly warrant a return of the entire product, i.e. big pain in the ass), see if I can scrounge up the piece somewhere else, or just use an orange pauldron from the old Kotobukiya Sandtrooper and call it a day.

 

[karamazov80]

Yeah, I've got the Indy PF, and there is a discoloration on his pants. Not their fault. Box was unopened, so this is a manufacturing issue by Sideshow *shocker*. However, it is a pain, since it is return for refund or nothing. They don't have a warehouse with spare parts sitting around, apparently.
