Help me decide - a thread for all indecisive Freaks

Same. In the words of Darth Vader, it is....too late...for me son. Been collecting for 30 years or so and since 30 years ago I was 12 I didn't exactly start out with the most mature mindset.

Goddamn I wanted this Catwoman so much.

But honestly - I just dont think I can justify the cost and I've seen too many videos of Jazzinc products with defects or other problems to take such a huge leap of faith on a companies first real foray into 1/6 character figures.
Ultimately - what we are being shown in these proto pics are not what we are going to get:
- there is a PERS eye system to be installed in the heads that we haven't seen
- there is going to be an entirely new body
- the battle damaged suit hasn't been fully customised for its endgame appearance yet
- these proto pics use the full metal custom diecast claws which will be absent on the final product
- the proto pics show the full diorama as part of the single pack options, which gives a bit of a false impression on how bare-bones the single packages are.

Its just an insane of money to gamble on a leap of faith, especially on my budget.
So after a full month of kicking myself trying to come to a decision, I have.
Gonna have to regretfully pass on this.

Now my only hope is that HT do a decent Catwoman and Penguin.
Worst case scenario - I still have my 1/4 NECA Catwoman and Penguin - which are still great representations of the characters.

Welp made my choice regarding Catwoman and Legolas - they must be sacrificed for the greater good!

Now I just need to decide if I'm going ahead with the Nazgul or not.......



@Nick D - your advice has been invaluable

Welp, that time has come again.
Need help deciding my pre-orders.
A LOT of things I'm really interested in have recently been announced and I have pretty limited funds.
Just want your opinions on what figures you would recommend and prioritize over others.

So the ones I'm interested in:
- Jazzinc Catwoman [not sure which SKU but Pfeiffer and BR are some of my all-time faves and most wanted, I feel they are a bit overpriced which is the only thing thats stopped me making an order already]
- Inart Nazgul on Steed
- Inart Legolas [I feel it is very overpriced, but my original plan was to get the entire Fellowship, I have Gandalf and Aragorn and I love them]
- New Hot Toys Dr Doom
- New Hot Toys Venom [I already have a collection of Spidey villains: Goblin, Ock, Vulture, Mysterio - no Spidey yet]
- Batman Returns 2.0 figure deluxe
- Prey Feral Predator [been tempted to wait and see how it comes out]
- Sideshow Lost Boys David
- Sideshow Beetlejuice [if sculpt isn't a downgrade - got the HT on order for now]

Likely announcements soon I am very interested in:
- Kaustic Plastik Universal Monsters
- Asmus Thranduil
- Hot Toys T-1000
- Inart Monkey King Wukong
- Inart Snape
- Inart Dumbledore
- Inart Thorin
- Hot Toys Scarecrow 2.0 [if it comes with a really good Murphy sculpt]

Current pre-orders:
Artisan Jack Sparrow – FULLY PAID
Kaustic Plastik Hammer Horror Dracula/Van Helsing exclusive 2 pack
Inart Ron Weasley
Inart Hermione Grange
Hot Toys Battle Damaged Terminator 2.0
Present Toys T-1000 figure [plan was to cancel this depending on if HT go ahead with figure]
Hot Toys Wolverine deluxe [from Deadpool/Wolverine movie]
Worldbox Kratos figure

Mars Toys Frank Gorshin Riddler
Soosootoys Blade figure
108 Toys Lich King figure
