Hot Toys – MMS172 - Avengers: Hawkeye

[zipflint]

Yeah I'm not really worried about IF I'll get mine. I don't think they're going to shaft me on the figure. I just hope the wait isn't so long. Or if it IS, I'd like to know....up front.

We already know Hawkeye is going to be split-shipped. So SSC orders will get filled first, then the distribution to other stores/outlets will start. Am I right? I mean, I *think* that's how it works.....

I don't mind getting stuff a few weeks after the initial hub-bub has subsided. I just like to have a general idea of when to expect the crap that I've paid for to ship. Be it toys, or 30lbs of Irish peat.

As long as they get their alottment of Hawkeye figures, you'll get yours.

I totally expect you to give us the perfect pose to copy from My Hawkeye will be waiting

Lol. I am not sure if i would bother getting Hawkeye. Nothing against the character. I might pick up the head for a Bourne Legacy custom.

Nah, basically just straighten up the right elbow and push up the left. It'll look great.

Yeah. Bad choice of words on my part.
I just meant the arms position for firing.
I have a great setup myself and there is obviously great technique involved in firing correctly. The string should be on your nose, and your string hand should be grazing your jawline about halfway between your chin and ear. There shouldn't have been that much of a bend in the right arm, and the left arm was miles away from a true anchor point.
That's what i meant. And i should have clarified that.
Here's my equipment:

Yeah, I tried really hard to do that, but not possible with this figure.
Also tried archery before, but only used a recurve!

I understand totally. There are several positions a human can attain easily that the standard HT figures can't. It's a shame they weren't able to add an extra joint for hawkeye. Seeing as he is an archer.
And it's not "only" a recurve, lol. Archery is archery regardless of how much or how little your gear cost.
My setup is only about £1000/$1500 worth, but it will likely last me for as long as I remain shooting.

yeah, is there ANY word on this?

 

[zipflint]

And I'll ask again:
Has anyone else got Hawkeye on preorder from toyanxiety.com?
I was told previously in this thread not to stress over getting the figure, and I'm not. I just want someone else to whine with, haw haw.

Hi everybody! I'm a newbie Hot Toys collector, so please be gentle if I ask some already asked questions. I got my first Hot Toy figure about a month ago. Cap the First Avenger was my first and I got Nick Fury shortly after. Now waiting on Hawkeye, Loki, IM, new Cap & Thor.

Hawkeye is the one that got me interested and I cannot wait to get it. Pre-ordered from SideShow and I was told I will get charged for it next Friday. Can't wait to have him in my hands.

Thanks so much for all the great advice on how to set him up. I'm nervous about handling him right but I know you guys will have the answer if needed, so thanks in advance.

 

[Nia00]

BTW...if you are in the LA area or are looking to buy Hawkeye and have him shipped. There is a family owned store in Burbank that will have it. Larry, the owner, is a great guy. Bought both my Cap and Nick Fury from him. He ships to. Check blastfromthepast.tv.

 

[SpeedMasterLee]

^ how are the prices at blastfromthepast?

 

[Ultron-7]

any news from Loontentoys?

For those who have ordered from Alter Ego:

**UPDATE** - HOT TOYS HAWKEYE
We will be receiving our entire order of the Avengers Hawkeye figure in late October/early November rather than multiple partial shipments.
