Well he does at London's Madam Tuassauds. This was only unveiled a few days ago. Head sculpted by a friend of mine.

My Hawkeye should arrive tomorrow. I swear I'm looking forward to the box almost as much as the figure. Does anyone else display the boxes as well as the figure? I just love the design of all the Avengers boxes. I've been trying to figure out a place to put them up.

I was let down by the Avengers boxes, especially after how cool the IM2 and Cap:TFA boxes were. But I don't display any boxes regardless.

Haha weenie wants that.
Well, I was surprised at how real that looks!
As for Renner, he has a girlfriend and a new baby so.......

I think there's something *very* slightly off with the eyes and brow area, but that it's absolutely incredible otherwise.
Other than that Sam Jackson pic shown above, i reckon it's one of the best Tussauds sculpts i have seen.

I like the thread title of this thread because its simple. There's isn't a bunch of fluff like the others

Just display the Box as a background and the figure upfront, If you have more boxes have them setup at an angle and will look like a boss, after seeing this pic i was:
1) I want a display case like that
2) Makes the collection more elegant.

That looks amazing! Is that a store display or a personal collection?

What figures are those? They don't look 1/6 scale.

you mean IF the price goes down

No it's when. Every figure can't be $400 dollars.

Yes and no. The chances of Fury's price going down are better if there is another 2.0 version released of him (i.e. Avengers 2). But even then, there are no guarantees. Tough to say with HT. The original Mark I & II both took a price dip after the 2.0's were released. But in contrast, I have been waiting for the Mech Test Tony Stark to go down from being $400-$500 forever, and even thought it would perhaps finally go down after the announcement of the Tony Stark figure for IM3. But prices haven't really budged, so I just bit the bullet and bought it.

My everything comment is aimed more that eventually all of these figures are going to drop. In 5-10 years, these hot toys are going to plummet in value. A few pieces will hold value. (Your mech test example perhaps for the uniqueness and low production). But it is also important to realize just because something is scarce doesn't inherently make it valuable.
Eventually the next big thing is going to come around. Once people are tired of superhero movies these collections will be available on the cheap. Unfortunately the comic book genre will eventually fade. People get older, tastes and situations change. Most poeple will move on to collect other things be it cars or fruit baskets. One thing I've learned with collecting "There's nothing new under the sun". While we may kid ourselves thinking oh these figures will never ever...eeeeeeever lose their values, they will.

Not entirely sure what to make of your post really. Your first comment is just plain wrong. Anything that is rare will always hold some sort of intrinsic value. Even a 1:6 scale superhero figure. Look at the Corgi '66 1:43 scale BATMOBILE. Even after the much more accurate Mattel efforts (across at least four varying scales) flooded the market, this still holds a very good price.
If the quality is there (and with HT, it certainly is), and is attached to a hot enough property (Avengers...nuff said), and was made in fairly low quantities originally, then there is every chance that even after a good while that your still be able to get a good price.
Besides which, who gets these because they want them to retain value? I certainly don't. I buy them because I like them. They are the exact kinds of figures that I have always wanted (specially the '89 BAT figures) but that were never available to me at the time...and that's that.
If they retain value, BONUS!! If not, it's no problem to me.

So you are arguing for the sake of arguing basically. To catch you up the question was if HT figures loose value. It had nothing to do with personal collection taste or a non-monitary discussion about liking something. you guys crack me up with examples, you pick one single item that fits your arguement and it makes all other opinion debunked and void. Hows black spider man holding up? Green Goblin? red skull? last I checked in the bargain bin.
You're definitely creating a pattern of running into this thread giving a rash of crap to me with no substinance.
I take a crap daily, its rare, its only my crap, do you find intrinsic value in that?

My Hawkeye arrived today!
It must be the last one sold for retail value!
Opened it half an hour ago. Now he's together and standing in the detolf, resplendent with bad a$$ery.
I had always resigned myself to never getting one of these.
I know i am probably the last person to get one, but i am excited about it, lol.

You need to pay attention mate, and learn to actually read what posts say. I have not crashed into this or any thread just to give you any BS. I don't need to, you are more than capable of generating enough BS all on your own. But either way, firstly, I am one of the top posters in this whole thread, so no crashing in for me. Secondly....Don't flatter yourself sonny. You're just not that interesting.
You stated your opinion and I said that I thought that you were wrong. Plus I provided an example that was totally unrelated to 1:6 scale action figures, just for clarity. The three 'examples' you provided are all still available at retail from SSC, so what was the point of your using them? If you don't expect or want people to disagree with you or respond at all that is not agreement, don't post anything ever. You did and I disagree. Wake up...I'm allowed. whether you like it or not. And what, I need permission to disagree with you?
Not from anyone...least all, you.
Finally...listen fella, what you do with your crap is entirely your own business. If you want to save it and hope that it retains some sort of value, well, good luck with that. But you'll find that they will eventually make a TV show about you one day, something with the word '**Insert Appropriate Words Here**....Hoarders' in the title.
And it's "substance"...not "substinance"

Well since you have jumped into the personal attacks on framed discussions, it is clear you had no rebuttal worth discussing.
Wow one of the top posters on a 3rd tier Avengers thread. Want a medal?
I embrace and enjoy the conversation and you obviously need to qualify your merit. All of this you, you , you talk is just a childish way to deflect in a discussion when people do not have points to make. The easy way is to flip the conversation to be about me and I cannot be reasoned with.
So to show I can correct myself, perhaps you are right that everything that is scarce has intrinsic value, because it can be worth zero.
Toodle Pip!
